Generate cue points based on the position of other cue points

Hello,

I have manually cue pointed (hot+ memory cues) a few thousands tracks in Rekordbox, everything is imported correctly in Lexicon.

Is there a way to automatically generate cue points 32 beats before cue points “2” and “8” ?

Thanks.

There is an advanced option called Custom Cue Anchors for the Cue Point Generator, see Guide: the fastest way to set your cues

However, it requires that your cues have a name, eg Cue 1 or Drop etc. There is a way to solve that in bulk though, if your cue colors always have the same meaning. You can use the Find & Replace Cues recipe (right click tracks → Edit → Recipes) with something like this:


Notice the asterisk in the “Match text” field.

Once you set proper names to your cues, you can follow the earlier guide.

Thanks @Christiaan, amazing!

Hi @Christiaan,

I am probably doing something wrong when using the template: the cue point I need is created correctly at the right place but it deletes all the other cue points of the track. See in this screen recording:

It will delete the other cues if they don’t have the same name as in your generator template.

Basically it uses the anchor names to find the right anchor cues, then deletes everything and puts the generator template back into place. Hope that makes sense.

It does make sense. I have to name all the cue points I want to keep before using 1 as anchor.
Thanks!

It works very well, you saved me about 50h of work to put additional cue points. Thank you very much @Christiaan
