Hi, thx for a great piece of software.

One little enhancement wish though. It would be great if you could add an offset backbeat to a drop or phrase group.

Today a cue is set at the start of a phrase group. If one could add option i.e. "-backbeat=-16" then the cue would be set 16 beats prior to the start of the phrase.

Hope it makes sense.

when using rekordbox cloud sync none of the files are found, in rekordbox the path seems to be dropbox/folder/file

is there a way to input in the rest of the path to the dropbox folder?

Hi,

Would it be possible to get this running on Macbook M1 architecture? Would love to use it.

Error trying this:

Not an issue, but it sure would be amazing to be able to write rekordbox cue points as serato cue points. I was looking through the code and i see the definitions of how you are reading in the serato cue points (it's all a bit foreign to me). I don't have mixed in key, but would love for rekordbox to be able to analyze (phrase/bpm/beatgrid) and then just apply the same cue points your applying to the rekordbox database to the actual MP3's.

I am getting the following error for every track when using on macOS Monterey, even with sudo:

Hello,

I’ve used the .exe to set the cue points but it seems that they are not appearing in the rekordbox 6. The progress mark so fine and is executing successfully finishing at 100%. Also I’ve checked the modified date for the .db file and it’s modified when I called the script.

do you have any suggestions?

Thank you for your work !

Hi,

i use your Tool for Windows and it works awesome. I'm very interesting in to get a Version for Mac OS.
It would be great if you make my dreams come true. :)

Regards,
William

Hi,

Thank you for your work, it's a great great tools :)

I would like ask you if possible that create a cue point 32 bets before the Chorus ?

I try with 2 run of your tool but when I start the second run all cue point is deleted ?

I use your tool withe the phaser mode

Thanks

1st! i love your tool, it's great and don't know why MiK use that great way by themselfs.

So you said if someone is intertrested in a GUI, he should write a issu. So i do it here. A lot of my DJ Friends like to use it to but never used console stuff - so they would happy to have an GUI version. THXAL

Is there an option to set memory cues from a hot cue point? I have already manually set some hot cue points for my tracks but the merge option doesn't seem to work with hot cues. Ideally I would need memory cues 8 or 16 bars from the hot cue point in each direction.

It will also throw an error when running --phrase-length 16 -m -s

Hi Michael, this is an excellent tool - thank you for creating it!
I've spent the evening testing it with my rekordbox library though I wasn't able to get it to generate both Memory and Hot Cues for my tracks.
(Why would one want to do this? Hot Cues are very handy on DJ Controllers, but older club gear and displays tend to only support Memory Cues - so personally I use them both the same way, with manually added memory cues where I want warnings etc).

Currently, if I have the tool generate one and then the other, they overwrite each other, even when using --merge.
Is this possible and I'm just holding it wrong?
Or if not, could it be implemented as an option?
Thanks in advance!

Struggling to get this working on MacOS.

Zip extracts CueGen.Console - Yet I'm not able to run this at all. Am I missing something obvious?

Hi, first of all....great piece of software 👍

I want to add hotcues as well as memory cues to my tracks. I'm not using MIK.

The first run creating the hotcues with --prhase is working very well.
Then I want to add some memory cues 16 bars prior to Chorus and Down phrases, but can't seem to make it work.
This: CueGen.Console --merge --names=Chorus --phrase --offset=-16 is deleting the hotcues and placing memory cue 16 bars prior to every phase....can you help?

Hey. Got this error:

Can you help please? Is it some kind permission issue or something else?

i want to disable the merge function. How could i do that?
I think -m for merge is enabled for default.

Hi, throwing this error on all but 2 songs when I try to add cues:

Hi

Great tool. Im getting some errors. about 50% of my library throws an error-
Could not find part of the path

I cannot remove any cuepoints added by this program.
I cannot create memory points (not clear on how to do this)

Question. Can the phrase "Chorus" be renamed to drop? I can see a function but cant rename.

A UI version would be amazing, id share it with the Rekordbox groups im involved in for sure

Thanks

Hi Michael,
I've upgraded my MIK to version 10 and I can't get cuegen to add cues to my DB anymore. Is there a way to reset it all?

First off, huge kudos on this project. Super useful.

I'm running this on OSX, Rekordbox 6.7.0. I'm trying to run it on 1 specific file to test it out. Here's the command I'm using:

./CueGen.Console -p -v trace -g "/Users/danyal/Google Drive/My Drive/Music/DJ/lossless/Dale Howard - Drums.aiff"

I want it to generate the cue points using phrase, not mixed in key. File is analyzed and has analysis lock on. Here's the output:

Information: Starting CueGen version "1.0.34.0"
Information: Rekordbox database is at "/Users/danyal/Library/Pioneer/rekordbox/master.db"

Your tool is awesome.
But unfortunately nothing happens for Flac files :

nformation: Reading tag for "99983284" from "/Users/XXXXX/XXXX/XXX/XX XX/73 - Bastille - Revolution.flac"
Information: Found 0 cue points

I see cue points in MIK

Steps :

1. Analyzed tracks in Rekordbox and then quit it.
2. Imported the same tracks in MIK and analysed for key, with serato option checked, exported cue points for the entire collection.

Tried cuegen after these 2 steps and got the error as pasted in Title. Cue points were not visible at all by this time.
So, went ahead with a workaround to import cue points in Rekordbox, step 3 is that workaround.
3. Used a third party app called "MIXO". Imported the same tracks to which cues were written in step 2, into mixo, and exported as rekordbox xml.
4. Imported this Rekordbox xml into rekordbox through xml browse feature in settings, successfully got colour coded hot cues on entire library. But for some tracks these hot cues were all aligned, while for others they were a little off, while way too off(more than a beat or two at around 110bpm) for a few tracks.
5. Again backed up entire library with backup music as well option, for just in case, quit rekordbox.
6. went to cuegen again, thinking that maybe earlier error was coming as cue points were not visible at all, but same error displayed for every song in the library.

Version and other details are here :
Mac OS High Sierra
Rekordbox 6.5.3
Mixed in Key 8.5.3
Mixo 0.39.0

Here attaching an Mp3 file by going to finder and into rekordbox backed up music files, so as per its latest state I believe.
