Different memory/hot cues for the same song in different playlists.

It would be interesting to have some memory cues for a song in a playlist and other different memory cues for the same song but in another playlist. All this without having to "duplicate" the song.
Rekordbox could ask if you want to import the current hot/memory cues when you drag and drop a song from your collection or from a playlist to another playlist. If not, the song would appear in the playlist without any memory/hot cues but those would be kept in the song at the collection or initial playlist, and viceversa.

I know of one other user who has requested this, and it may have been you if this isn't the first time you've asked, but I can't really figure out why you would want to have that when you already have the ability to store 16 hot cues and 10 memory points on a track as it is...?

I am another requesting this feature. Sometimes some tracks need to be transitioned in a specific way that doesn't work with other tracks and having many ques just makes it confusing since I would have to guess which CUE is the one I wanted to use in that specific playlist. This is definitely a feature to have to keep cues clean and separate between playlists.

Exactly. It is terribly confusing to manage all those cue points for different transitions. Definitely, different cue points for the same song in different playlists would be the solution.

I know what you mean. It sucks to have to go back in playlists and replay them for the next events to make sure they line up again. I'm on a DDJ-400 so dont have the luxury of a 3rd deck to redo the cue before the next track starts.

I came here to request the exact same thing. I use both memory cues and hot cues as visual indicators where the best mix in/out points are. And that varies per set/playlist. Now I have to manually reposition them for every gig and that takes me hours on large sets. It's a huge waste of time, not to mention if I forget a track, I get wrong info during a set.

This is how I use Hot Cues for example:

Hot Cue A - Start point for the track (everything before Hot Cue A should be skipped). Also, sometimes you don't want to start mixing on the downbeat. That first hot cue shows me that. The first memory cue is always set on this hot cue so when a track is loaded, the needle is automatically positioned at this cue point.
Hot Cue B - Transition point (best point to switch from bass line on playing track, to bass line on new track)
Hot Cue D - Mix in point (where I should start mixing in the next track)
Hot Cue H - Kill point. If set, point where the track should be completely mixed out.

I use memory cues in a similar way.

There are many advantages of setting up your cue points this way. When a track is loaded, I only have to look at the hot cue buttons to see how the track should be mixed in and out. It also gives me a visual clue how to set the EQ knobs before mixing in the track. And like I said, this varies per set/playlist. If I would simply use more hot cues, I would lose all overview.
