class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cue-point\">Cue Point<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>A Cue Point is used to cue a track at a certain point in a song.<br>A cue point technically is a starting point of a song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For example:<\/strong> <br>you can set a Cue Point at the beginning of your second drop.<br>The next time when you load the track, you can navigate to that point in the song to start from the second drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But a Cue Point can also be used to mark important changes in a song or mark possible mixing points in a song.<br>For example: a vocal coming in, the outro that is exactly 32 beats long.<br>Pioneer equipment even shows how many bars are left before the next Cue Point is coming up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Pioneer equipment you can have multiple Cue Points in a Song.<br>Rekordbox allows you to place Cue Points in a song, but most players have a limited Cue Points they support.<br>Something to be aware of before you do a gig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Cue Point can also be combined with a loop.<br>For more information, check out my <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.deejayplaza.com\/en\/articles\/pioneer-rekordbox-auto-active-loop\" target=\"_blank\">guide on Rekordbox loops<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cue Points are on 2 places in the Rekordbox Export mode:<br>1) in the middle horizontal bar in the CUE\/LOOP panel<br>2) on the upper right side in the MEMORY panel<br>Both have basically the same functionality, albeit in a different way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

means that the player\/controller does not respond to the Hot Cue or plays the last Hot Cue that was loaded.<br><strong>This can the Hot Cue of another track !!!<\/strong><br>Needless to say that this is can royally screw up your DJ set when you forget to load Hot Cues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You either have to load them manually on the player for each track you load.<br>But you can also make them load automatically.<br>You can set these settings via the settings screen, so they are automatically set on your USB drive.<br>This way when you load the USB drive in the player the setting is automatically set in the player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"349\"
