cuesheet maker program?
View this Thread in Original format

ok question!

lets say i have a tracklist,example:

[000:00].01- Artist - Title [Mix name]
[005:30].02- Artist - Title [Mix name]
[011:00].03- Artist - Title [Mix name]

is there a program/script that can take the colored data from the above tracklist and print me out a cue sheet such as:

PERFORMER "Artist"
TITLE "Liveset"
FILE "Liveset.mp3" MP3

TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "01- Artist - Title [Mix name]"
INDEX 01 000:00:00

TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "02- Artist - Title [Mix name]"
INDEX 01 005:30:00

TRACK 03 AUDIO
TITLE "03- Artist - Title [Mix name]"
INDEX 01 011:00:00

if theres anybody whoose good at programing this would be dead handy

yeah, I thought about this some years ago

and made some perl-scripts for that purpose :)
( You can even split/join CUE's and more :D )

Currently one must use it through command-line (linux shell/DOS prompt), but it would of course be well suited for a Website ( I have so many ideas like CUE DB, editable at Track-Level ... but not enough time and no big Webserver ... I hope this might change soon ;)
my first goal regarding CUE DB would be having 1 for every ASOT :))

hola :)

Coding a program able to create cue files could be something I could do... I guess it would be really useful if we had something to navigate in the file graphically to set the cue points... if I code this, I have to render the sound file on the screen (as Steinberg's Wavelab would do, or any 3rd party wave editor would). It's quite a pain in the ass to do (well, not the rendering, but to make it... user-friendly !).

No need to 'reinvent the wheel' ;)

Have a look at the flexible (but not easiest) Mp3DirectCut, it can export CUE points you set in the Wavelab-like view :)

( 1 little drawback is editing existing CUE's with Artist/Title, it will loose A/T when you want to correct the position of a CUE point)

I know this is a very old thread, but I've had it in my bookmarks for a long time and I always wanted to post this reply:p


I wrote a cuesheet editor called QeD. It will come in handy to anyone making and editing cuesheets for livesets.

With QeD you can:
- create a cuesheet directly from a tracklist (based on importing formats that you can easily create)
- merge a cuesheet with a tracklist
- save tracklists from cuesheets
- open and import cuesheets and tracklists directly from the clipboard (you can save time by copying them from the Internet and directly into QeD)
- swap artist and title for tracks
- add or subtract index times from tracks (useful when your cuesheet doesn't fit the liveset version you have)
- split a cuesheet based on a given index (useful when burning long mixes on multiple CDs)
- save a cuesheet in different ways to best suit the way you use/view it
- automatically correct casing to capitalize words, convert to upper or lower case
- automatically correct quotes in cues (necessary when using the mp3cue plug-in for Winamp)
