Beat countdown to next cue point

Suggestion for a beatcouunter counting down to next cue point. This is excellent for phrase mixing and most dj software have it. Please add this feature :slight_smile:

Hi @Jay_Dizzle,

Thanks for sharing!

I can see how this would be helpful, and we’ve passed this on to the appropriate teams.

In the meantime, an effective workaround is to enable the details jog wheels, and then during playback, you will see a colored marker increase and decrease in length when approaching and leaving a cue point.

Have a nice day!

Thank you.

if this goes thru, wich i hope. I hope you guys add the option of show beats or bars.

Yes.
As in Traktor and with settings, please.

Select where to display this counter.

Meter Setup. I’ve found it works best for me to set it to 1, as this corresponds to the mouse cursor binding and makes it easier to navigate.

Example…
If I might suggest, from 7 cue to 8 cue would be 16 bars. It seems that the same values are shown by the mouse cursor and the beat counter.

I think you’ll find it really helpful if you try to make the mouse cursor bind to the bars. It’s a great feature that’s also used in Traktor. You can quickly place CUE markers and simplify navigation on the track, which I’m sure you’ll find really convenient!

Please add this functionality most other software have this and its frustrating not being able to use this i Djay Pro

This feature will be the difference between me keeping DJay Pro subscription around for another year and moving to a different software by the time my subscription is over. Absolutely critical feature for EDM DJs. I really hope they add it soon.

I agree. I’m loving Djay pro. But I’m.considering moving back to Traktor because this feature is missing in Djay pro. :frowning:

Thanks for the additional feedback @Flexstyle and @Jay_Dizzle. I have shared this with the devs.

Please guys add this feature. Both rekordbox and Traktor has this. And I really don’t want to move frem Djay pro.

Also in addition. It would be cool to have a settings option to see bars to next cue point as hotcue comment. For example on comment for hot cue nr 2. It would say how many bars there is til houtcue nr 3. Therefore. One can just look at the song and it’s cue point and see how many bars and plan mixing better when loading a track.

Posted a pic of recorbox for reference and inspiration

Any news on this feature?

Hi @Jay_Dizzle, we don’t have any news to share on this suggestion.

Thank you for the reply

You’re welcome @Jay_Dizzle

Just keeping this topic alive. Please vote guys. It’s such a powerful tool. I really don’t want to go back to Traktor or rekordbox. It’s the only thing that’s missing from being the superior Dj software in my opinion.

Just a quick note to thank @Slak_Jaw and the team for incorporating the 4 split NM waveform view in Mac OS, which was previously on iOS
A nice and welcome surprise when I applied tbe last update

One suggestion I have, which I’ve seen on videos of other software is perhaps the option of a beat/bar visible counter as the track is playing, the visibility of the bar numbers can be quiet hard to read at times, probably coupled with my fading eyesight……

This could be an option maybe which can be enabled or disabled dependent on preference? Also a countdown to the next cue point or loop would be a nice and helpful touch

Thanks as always, the only software I will ever use!

Hi @Cuzer, you’re welcome! Can you please share some screenshot examples or perhaps some markups of how other software shows this or how you’d like to see this feature in djay? Thanks!
