Traktor Pro 2 Set Cue Points In Serato Dj

  • This is a 2 part question…

    1. Is there a way to scan, beatgrid and set cue points, volume gains etc in both RekordBox and Traktor (Serato, VDJ, Cross, whichever software you use) concurrently ?

    2. Regardless of this answer, if I do all the above in say, Traktor, for example, and then again in RekordBox, will the appropriate beatgrids, cue points etc appear when used with either software? Or will one over-write the other’s data?

    I’m thinking of doing this with sets that I play so I can turn up with just USB sticks when there is no space for a controller/laptop setup. I use Macbook on Crane stand and an Allen & Heath K2 with Traktor Scratch Pro with either timecode, or, if available, the CDJs plugged into a metal IcyBox USB3 hub, but even so, sometimes there is little space.

    Usually the DJ Software saves Beatgrids and cue points in a proprietary databases. (thats at least true for Traktor, RekordBox, Mixvibes, VirtualDj) (I think Serato saves them also in tags, but the tags are named with Serato as name prefix)
    So they don’t overwrite each other, so nothing to fear.
    And on a side note there is a Software coming, which can sync those stuff like Beatgrids and Cuepoints between different DJ-Software, its called Rekordbuddy 2.0.
    Here an interesting interview on the topic:

    I am not a RekordBox user, but as fas as I know, you have to export your files with RekordBox to the USB-Stick, and Rekordbox writes additional info (Beatgrid, Cuepoints, etc.) as well to the USB as an additional file.

    Whichever way it’s done, it most likely will require a sync operation EVERY TIME you change something on another platform.

    Let’s say you have all your stuff on Traktor, then you transfer it all to your RB stick for use in a club. While playing CDJs, you add a few cue points, a loop or two. Also you change a typo in a track title and correct a 78 bpm into 156. This information will be available as you read your USB stick back into your computer RekordBox. Now you have to sync that information back into your Traktor. You buy a few new tracks, prep them and all and sync all that stuff back over to RB.

    Also I doubt, but I have to yet watch the full video, that RekordBox will just take over the beatgrid that Traktor provides or vice versa and highly unlikely whatever information you added to it (like drop beat).

Setting Cue Points In Traktor

  • Hi Guys,

    I am trying to save cue points in Traktor Pro 2.6, so that i don’t have to resetup cue points each time I’m using a track. I have googled a bit and watched some tutorials on how to do this, and what most people seam to be saying is you right click the track in the browser (make sure you are in track collection) and click on write file tags…

    Only thing is this does not come up in my right click menu, what i have in the menu is:

    I dont see write file tags ?

    Any help appreciated

    Peace Sunj 😎

    Are you deleting tracks from Traktor’s collection? In my experience, once you import a song into Traktor and set up cue points (using 1, 2, 3, 4, etc) they’ll remain there every time you reopen the song, unless you delete them from the collection. And of course, this doesn’t apply with the cue button/floating cue.

    Yeah, same here. Once you set them, they’re set until you change them. The only thing I can think of is you don’t have Traktor set up to save the collection when you close the program so it wipes all the cue points out.
