    Hey Beat Hackers,
    In this week's video, I'm teaching you all about how to use cue points like the best DJs! Now some of you will already be familiar with cue points but I have started using them a lot more lately by color-coding cue points on all of my tracks! Let me know if you think this technique is helpful for when you're DJing in the comments below!
    This is a great tutorial for anyone who is learning how to DJ and how to set cue points on your dj decks.
    See you all next week,
    Phil

    Great advice here guys, I have been DJing for well over 10 years but only stated doing this a few months ago. If you have a large library, it's going to take you awhile but trust me it's well worth it in the end. And, when it's done it's done, no more guessing if you have your timing right. Well done Phil, great advice.

    I think these cue points show keeping a party rocking should never be a question past song selection. Tips like these is where the time comes to learn new tricks with samples, effects, and cued loops. At least that's my hope and my plan

    Hey Phil, I recently started DJing (started on the iPad Pro before I even had a controller, now I have a pro setup) and I just wanted to shout out a big “Thank You” for this amazing content you put out. I can see this dramatically changing my playing sessions, all about the organized & logical work. This would actually even provide that time needed for creative freedom during the mixes. Will definitely watch out for more content and also check out the free as well as paid courses.
