Hey
I'm a Rekordbox user and spent some time setting hot cues in RB 5 - however when I try to trigger them them on the XDJ-1000 mk2 it simply overwrites that particular cue to whatever position the track is at when I press it.
How do I get it to actually keep and trigger the auto cues I've set up in Rekordbox rather than overwriting them in real time? Am I doing something wrong?
If the track is loaded by using the >| (next track) button, instant doubles, or by keyword search, it won't automatically load the hot cues, regardless of the preference, as it prioritizes performance.
If you load by browsing the tracks, or from a playlist (etc.), it will load the hot cues if the preference on the player is to load them.

Are you using the XDJ as a controller for rekordbox or are you using it as a stand-alone player with a USB device / linked? If from a USB drive, did you export the tracks with the hot cues? Is your XDJ already configured to load the hot cues automatically on track load?
Yes - XDJ auto loads the cues on track load and I can see them denoted in green.
- using it as a standalone player with USB drive.
- yes, exported the tracks from Rekordbox with Hot Cues (as they show on the XDJ). Wouldn't RB do this automatically upon syncing anyway?
Are you talking about memory points or hot cues?
Hot Cues.
Hot Cues are denoted in green, right? Memory Cues are in red. So the Hot Cues are definitely loading but are overwritten to the current track position whenever I press the A-H key.
Scott did you ever figure this out?
I don't believe I did, no!
So you ended up simply not using Hot cues?
as per the manual: https://assets.touchboards.com/assets/1/26/PioneerXDJ-1000MK2-usermanual1.pdf , you should simply go to Perform mode, and touch the cue you want the playback to start at. Im supposed to play these specific players for the first time this weekend, so this leaves me uneasy.
I had this issue on both of the two XDJ-1000 Mk2 players I played on this week and last week too. Funny enough, not on all the tracks, and I couldn't find the logic why it worked on some and on some not. Very frustrating issue Pioneer, lots of hours of prep work went in vain because of this! You should really address this bug.
The tracks are loaded by browsing or accessed via the playlist, I dont use the next/prev tracks button.
The preference in the settings, which were loaded onto both players, is to load the cue points, and they do load on both players, meaning I can see them on the waveform on the screen.
The issue is, the same as what Scott was describing above, that clicking on them in performance mode sometimes (more often then not in my previous two experiences) it results in setting a new cue point, instead of triggering play on that point, which is what it should do based on the manual.
The only thing I can think of is that was only happening on the player that was reading the data via link, and not happening on the player which read from the USB directly. That sounds like a bug to me, dont tell me I need to buy another 100$ USB stick.
What do you mean "clicking on them" -- clicking on what? The hot cue?
You also mentioned "link" which is not used in performance mode, so I'm a bit confused as to how you have the players /software configured.
Yes, I was referring to the performance mode of the player (2) that does not have the USB stick but is linked to the player (1) which has the USB stick in. I expected I would be able to use the performance mode on the linked player (2). So I was wrong, none of the performance features will work on the linked player?
Sorry, I think there is some confusion -- "Performance Mode" is referring to rekordbox running in "rekordbox dj" mode where you have the XDJs controlling the software. I believe you're simply referring to the fact you have the players being used as stand-alone players without the software, but linked to each-other via ethernet.
Yes, you would be able to load the hot cues from a track on a USB from the other player; you press the LINK button on the second XDJ, then select the USB from Player 1 as the source, then navigate and load the selected song.
As previously noted in this thread, you will need to have the player's preference set to load the hot cues on track load for it to occur automatically, otherwise you'd have to call them manually.
I was referring to the "perform" or "performance" screen on the cdjs, cant remember how its called because I dont have these players at home.
Everything you said I did the correct way, let me quote my earlier post:
"The tracks are loaded by browsing or accessed via the playlist, I dont use the next/prev tracks button.

This is a problem for me still. I have three (3) xdj-1000mk2s. Pretty ridiculous this is an issue with simple hot keys. Anyone ever find a fix?

I have the same problem. And since there were many posts before, I recorded a video of the problem: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_tXkxLVgbezt74QAhRs906Lhq9j2-4zj/view?usp=sharing
You can see that I have two (green) hot cues called A + B. I then press B on the XDJ, but the needle doesnt jump where the hot cue B is, but instead deletes it and sets a new hot cue called B (now in a different color) right where the needle was.
I'd be sooooo damn happy if anybody could help me!
