Looper Pre-Cueing & Audio Routing Options

I would like to be able to pre cue the audio from the Looper in the headphones without it playing live through the main audio output. I’m using a supported 4 channel midi controller and would ideally like to have the Looper running through deck C or D so that I can control the EQ, audio level and pre cue in my headphones. Alternatively it would be nice to at least have a switch that sends the Looper audio to the headphones or to the main audio output. This way you could get the Looper samples sounding good in the headphones with a track that is already playing then switch to live audio output.

Hi @Slak_Jaw,

This is a good suggestion which we have tracked in our issue tracking system, thank you for sharing.

Hey again,

for long I was using djay pro only with decks and external mixer, but since I use it with internal mode & controllers, I realised that in CUE I can not hear the effects - only of course in master cue.

But many times we would like to hear the effects, sometimes I start the mixing with the effects – and right now I can not pre-listen the songs with the effects.

Trust me, it seems like a trifle, but its not.

Cheers!

I agree 100% with this request. Without this ability the looper function is not useful at all during dj sets. How would anyone know if the sounds that about to play will sound good with the “live” song without having the ability to pre-listen? Thank you; I hope this feature is added

I would like to reopen Slakjaw’s suggestion of adding a precue channel or a way to route the audio of the looper to say Deck 3 or 4 for Precuing, EQs and FX please. The looper would be a great feature but not utilized much without the ability to listen beforehand what you are looping into the mix.

I obviously second this suggestion!

:arrow_up: :heavy_plus_sign::one:

Thirded here, I’d definitely use it more if I knew what was about to happen in advance!
Same for the Sound Effect section, FX section et-al.

Hi @Terrill_Marshall1,

Yes! We really need to be able to monitor loop mixes.

Please add this as a midi mapple button. Cheers

Sadly I was just trying to start REALLY using the looper and realized that I’m not an idiot. You can’t cue or preview a loop (and it could be as easy as a play triangle beside in the UI, just like the play triangle preview that’s in the library). AND I can’t edit and customize the list of loops that I want to use, so I have to jump between packs. It’s simply not useful other than for playing around, or memorizing a dozen loops in one or two packs. So much power that’s not really useful at all.

Love the looper but barely use it since I can’t pre-cue it.

Stems +Ability to pre-cue looper would be fire.

Also, Djay has been adding a lot of free music lately but it would be great if some new looper packs would come out, to cover a few more genres such as Jersey type beats, Afro, Amapiano and Brazilian funk.

Thanks a lot.

Hi, I’ve just read a suggestion from June 2020 to introduce Pre-Cueing or Routing to Deck 3/4 loops resp. samples. As far as I can see as a new user (coming from traktor) the pretty important tool still doesn’t exist. So difficult to make? Thanks for your answer

Looper is so useless without a cue, it could be an amazing addition to DJay Pro.

I’m begging, begging, begging for this to be added.
