can t define the cue point. i want to be able to use the cue button to start the song from where i feel like, this make s the whole djaing impossible for me.
bought the N4 because it seemed better that the mixtrackpro had the booth and everything, but it seems that numark consider it a more amateur version than the mixtrack pro which is half the price and seems cheaper built...
i really didn t understand this...
if i don t have a workaround i will have to sell it...:(
please help!

You can use the cue button to start the track from where you would like to.

1. Move the N4 platter to the position in the tune you want it to start from.
2. Hold your fingers on the platter and press the CUE button.
3. This will create a "temporary" cue point at that position in the track.

Every time you hit the CUE button it will start from the point you created.

Let me know how you get on :)

Thanks.

Ok i got that, but i m used to preparing all the songs in advance with cur points to make it easier at the spot.
How could i do that?
Furthermore, will serato dj really available for N4 by july?
Will it be able to trigger at least 4 cue points?
Thanx

Hey Tuto Ferraz,

You need to turn on "Play from first cue point"

1. Launch Serato DJ.
2. Click the SETUP button on the top task bar.
3. Navigate along to the DJ Preference tab.
4. You will see a section "ON SONG LOAD".
-- Make sure you have "Play from start" and "Play from first cue point" selected.
-- This means ANY tune you have created a RED first cue point for will get loaded at this postion.
-- Any tune with no cue point will get loaded at the beginning of the track.

Regarding your N4 questions, unfortunately the only information I have is the same as whats stated on the website. --> serato.com

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask :)

Thanks.
