How to "hot cues" show up on older decks?

So I have a 3-hour gig in about 8 hours. I was given short notice on it and i'm struggling to prepare for it. Basically I have a state-of-the-art CDJ2000nxs2 / DJM900nxs2 setup and I've become quite familiar (muscle memory, etc...) and efficient on it. The problem is, the booth at this venue has CDJ900nxs decks without hot cues.

It's okay, really, because I don't need the "hot" part of the hot cues. In other words, I only use my hot cues really to jump to the end of tracks when I'm practicing so that I can easily practice transitionining from track to track. What I DO need, however, is the cue points that I established from the hot cues. I've literally gone through most of my tracks over the years and have hot cued them in various places and I will not have time to do that before the gig tonight.

As a backup (in the worst case), I'm subscribed to RekordBox DJ and I've purchased a DDJ-SP1 to bring with me. I don't prefer this setup, however, and I'd rather just show up with a USB and a pretty face, if you know what I mean.

 

So- my question is this: How can I expect my hot cues to show up the CDJ900nxs decks? I've read in places that they will show up on the small waveform but obviously since the decks don't support hot cues, I will not be able to use them as hot cues. Will they still show up as a memory cues, though? Really when I'm playing a gig, I only need them to help me quickly see where I've marked optimal mix-in/mix-out points in my tracks. As long as I can see them and cue to them (even if that means flipping through them using the memory cues), that'll work fine for me.

 

 

Thanks so much!

Your best bet is to make use of the DDJ-SP1. AFAIK, the hot cues won't show up as standard cues–you would have to define those in Rekordbox prior to the gig/exporting your tracks.

Best of luck.

Added a hot clue (! normally only work with memory cue points and loops) and loaded the track in my 900 Nexus. As expected the Hot Cue doesn't show up and can not be called with the memory cue call buttons.
