ehhh mine doesnt do that... mine just plays it after i push the button.

jah,

but just to make sure, u still have to specify loop out once u hit the hot cue, right?

So you can set up a loop, hit the memory button (storing it to memory), then hit one of the call buttons to retrieve it and it starts playing the loop straight away?

Lucky man if it does, that doesn't happen with mine! What model of CDJ have you got?

That was talking about storing loops and retrieving them from memory as a possible alternative to hot cues (which I'm afraid I don't think would be anywhere near as effective), not actually using hot cues.

With the CDJ1000 mk3, if you set up a loop and hit the hot cue 'rec mode' button then one of the hot cue buttons, it stores the loop in a hot cue button, so when not in rec mode, if you hit the relevant hot cue button, it will go straight into the loop you had set up previously.

As far as storing hot cues to memory goes, any hot cues you had set up for a CD the last time you put it in the player will instantly be loaded back into the hot cue bank when you insert the CD, so you can use the same hot cues or hot loops straight away.

(Wasn't quite sure what you meant so thought I'd clarify all the relevant points)

Hot cues & hot loops are automatically retrieved when you put the CD in so you shouldn't have to use the "call" buttons... or are you just referring to stored loops, not loops sorted in hot cues?

I've actually got a CDJ800 so that might be the difference with retrieving a loop, but would still surprise me.

wait i think u conffused ME now



i thought you were saying if you save a loop on the as a hot cue..


that then when u hit the button... u would have to then press play and there would be a a gamp in the music...


but i can sample loops... i can have 3 loops stored and cross from one loop to the other with out having to push play.


if that made any sense.

Sorry, yeah I was referring to the CDJ800's LACK of hot cues and ways to overcome that

But yeah, hot cues should always start instantly - that's the point in them

We obviously just got a bit confused there
