Cue points to set on EVERY track you play: DJ Fundamentals

good stuff...hey i'm working on some special songs that requires more than 8-cuepoint and i've already got the hotcue-16 extension but i'm using DJC INP. 300 with 8 cuepoints buttons one each deack, how can i use it's 8 buttons for hotcue-16 extension? Thanks in advance.

Well explained 👍

Hey, I use beatport link and rekordbox for all my music and can't find a software that will input cue points automatically (I've tried lexicon and Mixed in key neither of these work) does anyone know how I can do this? So I don't need to go through 100's of tracks and put memory cues in and hot cues.

thank you.

I would of paid for this video in course! :) It's so good! :)

Hello Mr
how do we analyze and modify if the tempo song is not a correct when import a track in rekordbox please?
Which is the simplest method please?
Let me know ASAP please
Thx

Nice! The thing i took away from this is setting up the loop cue, never thought of that! Am wondering though, i play house mainly, do you believe in setting cue points not on the drop but like 24 bars before?

awesome!

Bro you look like Jordan Peterson if he would do DJing

🤣 Do you get cue points from your producer through the earpiece?

Traktor is perfect!
Thank you Ean Golden!! ♥

in export mode you can save a loop as a memory cue or hot cue, then click the little orange icon next to that memory or hit cue and it will automatically loop on a CDJ, or any rekordbox driven hardware or software.

thanks for this!

How are you a DJ and the songs you choose are this garbage??… do you DJ in an elevator????

speed to 1.25x he is extremely slow speaking

OK I haven't watched content from Ian in like 5 years or more. Anyone know what's going on with his right eye? It looks like he has some issues with it as and the muscles have weakened.

my red cues are usually the starter blue is where i usually jump from or to or mix out from.Sometime i am drumming beats ,vocals or both and that might involve most of the cues.Then i might improvise or i might practice earlier to get the exact way i want it right.

i have a variety of options for points to mix out.Again it depends on what version im using ,what kind of set im doing and how much i want of each tune.

i usually have a choice of starting cue points depending on the set i am doing .Sometimes a long soft or gradual intro with no beats is good especially if i want a change of bpm or mood.Other times starting on the first downbeat might be right.I almost always have a starter cue and then a second one where the beats start unless of course the tune starts right away with the first beat.

You were the reason why I decided to buy a Traktor Kontrol s4 thanks to your videos for native instruments! I'm still rocking it! Thank you so much

Great lesson ! Thanks 🙏 ! What do you think about the software Mixing in Key … it’s really a good tools to prepare Cue point ? Thanks

How did you get the extra menus to show up on the bottom where it shows the hot cue markers? For me, all it shows is "cue, cup..." etc, but doesn't show the extra menus that you have. How do I make Traktor give me options like that to show for me, is it in settings? if so, where?

That midi thingie at the end brings out my inner-six-year-old-in-an-elevator so hard.

or just know by looking at the waveform where to cue up, mix in,out. im to the point now where i dont even have to look at it. can just listen n know when to

Bro.. Please send me Link traktor scratch pro... I have very cheep control er

nice!! thanks!

I cant seem to get the red flags in my TRaktor Pro 3??? all different Cue point types, none of them have a red flag... am I missing something here?

What's the difference between a load marker or the regular white cue point?? Thank you

hi is there a way to add playlist to automix and have every song load at 1st cue point. i am not a professional Dj, i just play songs at small parties

whos got the link to the video with long hair?

Great cue point philosophy, thanks for the tutorial. How do you use hot cues and memory cue (rekordbox)?

What is the best editing software for long mixing sets(2hrs) in your opinion?

That advanced cueing at the end there is getting me even more excited about mixing — it’s far more, basically playing and creating new sound. Great for making original tracks, I imagine. Thanks for sharing this ♥️

Natural born teacher, pleasure to watch and of course - great tips

Excellent Video. I appreciate your time explaining these important mixing aspects

Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏

Im on the floor from laughing. You sounds so calm, like a walking xanax, and your the same guy with that epic long hair hahhahahahah, 😂

Is that Chris Cuomo's little brother?

Nice video. Great tips. Learning to DJ now, so watching lots of tutorials. This one on cues and loops was unique. Great info and great reason to subscribe. Thanks for sharing! :)

I used to have hot cues that marked the drops and vocals, but I've been suggested by a DJ that I shouldn't be relying on cue points, ONLY the beginning cue, he said phrasing should take care of the rest.

Absolutely exquisite tutorial. Best I’ve found anywhere. Thank you.

Starting a mix is easy, getting out is another thing entirely.

Just my style, and the only place I DJ is in my basement, but I "always" (usually) set Cue #1 on the first down beat. But 90% of the time that's not where I want to start playing. People don't want to listen to 16/32 bars of intro/outro beats. So, usually, where I personally want my starting cue point is 4 beats before the end of the intro. At that point, you can do a 4 loop on that bar, get the beat grids aligned and be ready to release the loop so the meat/drop of the next song comes in right on time. To me as a beginner, that's easier and less stressful than trying to "Drop it on the 1". If I screw up, and I do often, I have 4 beats to get things back on track before the next song comes in. Yes, I know this concept has the issue of not being able to jump back to the start of the phrase, but in my mind it's worth it. I play "everything" but mostly Funk/Disco/Soul and 70's-80's-90's pop/alt.

Also in serato, you can label your cue points and give them names, that is awesome if you haven't played the track in a while.

Is there any shortcut to change cuepoint\hotcue color or type?

Awesome vid!!!

75% of my cue points are at:
1 - 1.1
2. 17.1
3. 33.1
4. 49.1
5. 65.1
6. 81.1
7. 96.1
8. 113.1

I know it's a bit cheating, being a former vinyl and CDJ DJ, but it makes it fast and easier to have more tracks in a set.

good job your doing
