Thanks TimmyG! I've been using my Macbook Pro with an external HD. Recently got an iPad and plugged the hard drive in using the files mode. Amazing except all of the markers / hot cues I've assigned do not transfer over! I've done a lot of work setting all of that up. Any way to make the hot cues load up on the iPad??? Much appreciated if you know 💯

Great videos! Very helpful as I try to improve as a new DJ. Your tips on using hot cues are explained clearly, however, I do not see any tips on how to trim a song, I.e. start and stop at certain points to remove undanceable bits at the beginning and end. Trimming can also be used to reduce the duration to a desirable length. I know I can edit songs in GarageBand (or other audio program), but that requires time and having edited copies in my local music library. Any suggestions?

I am just starting to DJing but I never expected you could make this many combinations. Thank you!

Thanks for another awesomre tutorial. I'm trying to figure out how to delete cue can't find the answer. I'm running DJay Pro 2 in demo mode on my 2016 MacBook Pro OS Mojave 10.14.6 Thanks again TimmyG!!👍😊

Hey I'm just wondering if there is any way to make a song play automatically when you press a hot cue. Like instead of the song stopping at the hot cue I want it to just play automatically when it's pressed. I know that if a song is already playing, then pressing a hot cue will continue playing, but if I load in a track and want to press hot cue A and have the song play from there, is there any way to do that?
