DJUCED™ and DJ Control AIR
14
(2) Use
Cue points are necessary for DJs, allowing them to:
- Instantly access a point in the track where the beat is audible, to avoid a slow start and
instantly go to an audible rhythm.
- Instantly access different points in the track, if the beat changes.
(3) Commands
In DJUCED, clicking on Cue buttons 1, 2, 3 :
- Sets cue point 1, 2 or 3 at the current position in the track, if there was no such cue point
already set in this track.
- Moves to cue point 1, 2 or 3, if this cue point is already set
(if the cue point is already set, the button is slightly below the buttons of cue points which are not
set: in the example , cue points 1 and 2 are already set, while cue point 3 is not set).
- Clicking on the button deletes the last cue point you have used.
- Clicking on the button (either in the DJUCED graphic interface or on DJ Control AIR)
moves playback to cue point 1, or sets cue point 1 at the current position in the track if cue
point 1 doesn’t already exist.
(4) Display
(a) Around the platter
The cue points are displayed in the track overview around the platter.
The full track length is represented as the ring of small circles around the platter, so:
- Cue point 1 in red (close to the first small circle) means that cue point 1 is located at the
beginning of the track.
- Cue point 2 in red (at around one quarter of the complete ring) means that cue point 2 is set at
around ¼ of the track’s length: so for a track of 5:11, this means that the cue point is set at
around 1:15.
