I'm working on some UI prototypes at the moment, but I have a couple of
questions about cues. The editor as it stands right now allows the user to
view cuepoints, but how are these added? I tried loading a track onto a
deck, and using the cue button to set a cue. I can see the flag on the
visualization, but this doesn't seem to add anything when I try to view
cuepoints in the editor.
My other question is this: how many cues does a DJ typically have in a
track? I'm trying to figure out how much space would be appropriate for
this. Ideally, the default size would be sufficient for most tracks, and
then a scroll bar could be appear if needed for those tracks with many cues.
Thanks!
Eric
