Store a cue point (NOT a hot cue)

Store a cue point (NOT a hot cue)

How do you store a cue point that is NOT a hotcue? I’d like to use cue points for visual aids, but I want to keep my 8 hot cues for juggling.

How do I specify a cuepoint to be stored as, say Cuepoint 20? (because there are 32 cue points available in each track in Traktor!).

Maybe you’ll find something useful here: Using Traktor’s Cuepoints For Reference and Performance

after you fill your first 8 hotcues, when you’re in the cue section (as pictured) press STORE in the deck’s advanced tab, and every time you do that, you’ll see this number go up. Those are your normal cue points, clicking the little left/right arrows jump between these cues.

you might want to map those functions out to your keyboard or any midi controller you may have, you can easily find the proper commands for those buttons here, just scroll down to ADVANCED DECK PANEL, CUE: http://www.traktorbible.com/articles/mapping-command-finder.aspx

Thanks guys - but what I want to be able to do, is set these non-hotcue cue-points prior to assigning the 8 hot cues.

I want to be able to store cue points in a specific cue point position (probably positions 10>, or 20>)…

My reasoning, is to have them as markers for breakdowns, and then I can use the “beats to cue” display to trigger samples/loops that will end when that cue marker is reached.

Just fill up your hotcues temporarily (leave them all on the first beat or whatever) and delete them after you have added all your other cuepoints. Then you have your visual cues and still have all your hotcues free :wink:

There must be a better way than that…

sadly not

nope. this has been bugging me forever too.
I play tons of old tunes that need grid markers and I have to set my hotcues up then go put the grid markers in then delete my cues and set them to the proper spots.
pretty stupid way of doing things.

Bugger it.

This is indeed annoying that you can’t setup blank cues without first using the 8 hot cues.

I feel a work around coming on…
