They say leaders are born, bro teachers are born. You are nothing but a good teacher. Your simplicity makes my brain understand. Thank you.

Yes do more videos like this if possible. The reason is that you have a way of explanation that is comprehensive. Other pros think everyone is just in the know and even if we know, some won't it explained like they don't. It's just your personality that gives us better comprehension on the tutorial. Thank you much.

It does not matter how obvious a topic is, someone will always learn. I use cue points heavily but did not know you can name them or the idea of naming them. So thank you.

What a great serato lesson, thanks bro

[jmshuk]

Very useful - and yes please, more "how to" videos like this! One more thing - you are sharing your considerable personal experience, no need to apologise for that. I guess there are always people who will disagree with you - so let them go set up their own YouTube channel to tell the world how THEY do it while you keep sharing how YOU do it! (I know which channel I'm going to watch...!)

What up dude, and Merry Christmas. To the question you asked...yes these type of "tutorial/how to/this is how I do it" videos are very helpful and enlightening. Please keep them coming!

[marvinmarsh]

Great info. I would also add that you can change the color of the cue point marker. I assign my cue points similar to you and I also make verse yellow, hook green, bridge blue etc..It helps a lot just glancing at the waveform you can see the song structure very quickly.

Best tutorial I've found on adding cue points!!!

[GeorgeMalonedj]

Thanks for the info. Never thought about naming my cue points!

[Goldfinger]

Your Knowledge is ALWAYS APPRECIATED- Every Tip is Useful-I didn't realize I could name my Cue-Points : THX

[larrylindsay]

Good info, thanks! would be cool to hear you work the cue points. Actually hear the advantage of having an intro / exit cue point. Will def check out more of your videos.

Cleveland, Yes keep them coming sir 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

I was already naming my cue points and putting an entry and exit cue point. Just found this video and love it. Thanks man

Different points of view is how people learn from one another. Honestly I made the mistake of exporting Cue points from Mixed in Key. Lesson learned, that doesn’t happen again.

Playing an entire track, not while playing live in a club or event setting, lol.

I’m very interested in seeing differences in ways to do things. If we aren’t learning, there’s no point.

Thanks for sharing this Terry!

I was already kind of working in this way. That being said, I still picked up a bit of information that I hadn't considered. Thank you so much my brother. Happy New Year and much respect.

Hi Cleveland - appreciate the cue point tutorial - made me aware of the importance of proper settings - great info. Thanks 😀

[pinkpanta]

great video; my pops used to slap my upside my head when using his LP's to always let the intro's play out; he used to say; stop rushing the song; but like you said; it made me realize that the intro's in most songs are important to hold and lock in...some songs have vocal points that are historic to to lock in as cue's Ex "big pun verbal piece on deep cover remix; when he talks about little Italy speed rap verse....so yes; cues have come a long way; but are very important.

Can’t tell you how helpful this is, thank you!

[Jerzeejaylive]

This was cool to know that I set up the same way. I use cues on most beat changes: Intros, verses, bridges, hooks, outros and sounds/parts I think I may wanna scratch. I’ve only been at this for 7 months but like you said, “Set it for how your brain works.” I didn’t know that you could name the cues so that was cool to see too. Thanks man!

I’m a chronological guy, but I like the way puffy does it
