How to use HOT CUEs during mixing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The HOT CUE offers many possibilities of use. For example: linking different parts of a track, making mixes with &#8220;acapellas&#8221; and playing with the parts we like the most, even using them only as guides or visual marks.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Now we will see it in more depth<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:30px\"><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"21_Where_to_Set_HOT_CUEs_Examples_of_a_Direct_Link_or_Direct_Access\"><\/span>2.1 Where to Set HOT CUEs: Examples of a Direct Link or Direct Access<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A simple and basic example:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Suppose we want to skip a part of a track we have playing and we want to go directly to another more advanced block. <strong>At the <a href=\"https:\/\/djfuturo.com\/en\/count-music-beats-bars-phrases\/\">end of a phrase<\/a><\/strong>, which is congruent, we simply press the corresponding HOT CUE previously prepared in that more advanced block. For it to sound good, of course, it will be necessary to press at the right moment.<\/p>\n<p>Another very common trick in EDM festival sessions is to change the Drops*:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>*The Drops are the most energetic blocks of the track.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">For example,<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong> track A<\/strong><\/span> is playing, we get to the Break, the track begins to create expectation preparing for the entry into the Drop and suddenly instead of entering the Drop of <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>track A<\/strong><\/span>, the Drop of <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>track B<\/strong><\/span> enters. Being all the public surprised.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">To be able to do this we had a HOT CUE previously prepared just in the first kick drum of the Drop of the song B, and when pressing that HOT CUE, this one enters directly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note post\"  style=\"border-color:#dcdca4;border-radius:17px;-moz-border-radius:17px;-webkit-border-radius:17px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f6f6be;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:17px;-moz-border-radius:17px;-webkit-border-radius:17px;\">This example is a bit advanced because you have to take into consideration that <strong>the tracks must be in the same key or tonality<\/strong> (to sound good). Which also implies already, some planning of the sessions, sorting the songs by tonality, etc. <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:30px\"><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"22_Where_to_Set_HOT_CUEs_Visual_Markings\"><\/span>2.2 Where to Set HOT CUEs: Visual Markings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another very useful purpose is visual marking. When creating the HOT CUE, <strong>a vertical line appears<\/strong> on the partial and total time lines. So you<strong>\u00a0can create them as reference points<\/strong>. To know when a phrase ends or starts, a block of the song you are interested in, etc. It opens a world of possibilities that could help you to make more complex effects and tricks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">For example: to create a mark to signal at what point we want to mix with an acapella that we have prepared in another channel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-383 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/djfuturo.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/hot-cues-visual-mark.jpg\" alt=\"Hot Cues as visual markers\" width=\"567\" height=\"82\" srcset=\"https:\/\/djfuturo.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/hot-cues-visual-mark.jpg 567w, https:\/\/djfuturo.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/hot-cues-visual-mark-300x43.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/><em>Total Timeline with 5 HOT CUE markers in Virtual DJ<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:30px\"><\/div><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_CUE_VS_HOT_CUEs_What_is_the_difference\"><\/span>3.
