Mix your first set
tonight.

No decks, no download, no clue? Perfect. Cue is a free DJ studio in your browser that shows you exactly when to make your move, or does it for you while you learn.

Try a vibe
Cue's real decks and mixer in the Midnight Violet theme: two decks with waveforms, hot cues and FX either side of a mixer with EQ knobs, channel faders and a crossfader

  4. 4Slide across. You're mixing.

The real studio, not a mockup. Four moves and you've done your first transition.

No gear? No problem.

A mouse and keyboard are enough. Got a DDJ-FLX4? Plug it in and it just works.

Nothing to install.

Open it in Chrome or Edge on your computer. That's the whole setup.

Bring your own tunes.

Five free tracks to start. Your own music stays on your computer.

Free while in beta.

No account, no card, no catch. Just press play.

Automix

Hit Automix. Watch it think.

It's like a DJ friend taking a turn at the decks. Automix mixes your music the way a person would, and shows every move so you can steal them.

  1. 01

    Pick a vibe

    Steady, calmer, groovier or bigger. You set the direction.

  2. 02

    Find the next track

    Close tempo, a key that fits, energy going your way, no repeats.

  3. 03

    Choose the move

    Blend, bass swap, echo out, filter, loop or cut.

  4. 04

    Wait for the phrase

    Music moves in 8- and 16-bar chunks. It waits for the right one.

  5. 05

    Mix and explain

    Faders and EQ move on screen, with the reason written down.

Try it: pick a move and watch 16 bars play out

Two kick drums fight. So only one track gets the bass at a time.

Visuals

Your mix, on the big screen.

Flip to the Visuals tab and 22 scenes move with the music: lasers, neon tunnels, chrome, galaxies and more. Cue picks a new one on every drop. Put it fullscreen on a TV or projector and play.

Locked to the beat

Pulses land on the kick from the beatgrid, and every drop flashes.

Follows Automix

Scenes dissolve at the pace of each transition and match the next track's energy.

Colors that fit

Spectrum, your theme or each track's key. A mix shows both decks' colors.

Made for the big screen

Fullscreen at up to 120 fps on a TV or projector. Resolution adapts to your machine.

Open the visualsLive preview on a 128 BPM clock. In the studio it follows your tracks.

Learn & play

When you're ready, take the wheel.

Turn Automix off and the coach stays with you. It shades where to mix, counts the bars and says what to touch next, while the music plays.

Live guidance

Listen to A. Count the downbeat.

Everything in the box

A real DJ setup. Minus the setup.

Assistant

See every way to mix these two tracks

For each pair, Cue ranks the moves that fit, marks the entry and exit on both waveforms and explains why.

Parallel waveforms with suggested entry and exit cues next to the transition assistant's ranked list of moves
Pads

Hot cues & loops

Eight pads a deck. Jump to the drop, loop the best bit, roll a stutter.

FX

Effects that sound good

Beat-synced echo, room reverb and filters, plus one-button echo outs.

Library

Your crates, from your USB

Connect a folder. BPM, key and energy get worked out on your computer. Nothing is uploaded.

Sync

One button to lock the beat

Sync matches tempo and bar. Key lock stops vocals going chipmunk.

Record

Record the mix

Play your set, download it and send it to your friends.

FLX4

Plug in a DDJ-FLX4

Pads, jogs, Beat FX and lights work straight away, and the coach switches to hands-on guidance.

Where Cue is behind today

  • Two decks only. Four-deck mixing is on the roadmap.
  • Stems are prepared before you play, not separated live. No streaming services yet.
  • The DDJ-FLX4 is the only mapped controller. MIDI learn is planned.
  • Analysis is strong on our tests but still in beta. Fix a key, beat 1 or section when it is wrong.
