Pre-cueing After Analyzing

When I load a new song into Cross 1.7.x for the first time, the file is analyzed. Cross then appears to pre-cue the song, but it is rarely at the beginning of the song. Instead Cross will cue the cut one or two seconds into the song.

Is there a setting in Cross 1.7.x to stop this behavior. I am an on-line live DJ and this behavior requires me to pull down the level on the decks and manually recue the song.

Thank you,

Jeff

No there´s not,
the cue is set according to the beatgrid, to the point where Cross "thinks" its best set.

Agree that it´s annoing when using controllers...

Thanks for the help on the pre cueing issue. I'll ask for a preference to turn this off as a feature request.

Best,

Jeff

It just snap on the grid where it thinks its best.
Turn snap off and put the cue where you want.

Actually Snap is turned off on both players. However any song cut not previously analyzed is precued several seconds passed the beginning of the track. Thus it requires me to back cue the track to the beginning for each and every new song.

What you are suggesting sounds like what I am already doing--and that's the problem. A live, on-air DJ doesn't necessarily have time to do this back cueing and cue marking for every new song. How about adding a feature/preference that doesn't precue the new tracks, but simply puts them at the start of the track? Isn't that the way that Cross pre version 1.7 handled this?

Thank you,

Jeff

You're talking of the autocue, it was always in Cross since the beginning: it's like any cd player.

It depend of the track volume, it's a matter of threshold.

The cue are saved into the collection too, so the next you load the track, the cue will be where you have set it, if set manually.
