15.6.2 Using Hotcues (Not Available in TRAKTOR LE 2)
We’ve already seen how to use Hotcues to store Cue Points and Loops. We want to show
you here a few more details on their use.
► First, open the CUE Advanced tab again.
As already explained, when pressing an unlit Hotcue button, if there is no Loop active, you
store a Cue Point at the current playback position (the Hotcue button turns blue). If there
is a Loop active, you store this Loop (the Hotcue button turns green).
In the waveform of the Deck, you can see that a vertical line with the same color appears
in the track at the corresponding position. Moreover, a little number at the top reminds
you which button you should use to jump to that Cue Point or Loop:
Fig. 15-18 — A waveform with a Cue Point stored as Hotcue 2 and a Loop stored as Hotcue 3.
If you made a mistake, or just decide you no longer want a particular Hotcue, you can
quickly delete it:
1. Click on the respective Hotcue.
2. Click on the Trash button.
→ You can see that the button is no longer lit.
Creative Uses of Hotcues
Hotcues aren’t just bookmarks to particular sections of a track—they can also be used for
creative techniques such as remixing parts of a song, beat-juggling, etc.
