CueflowBStart
Getting started
Install the app, answer three questions, and Cueflow listens to your latest tracks. Your files are only read.
Install
- Open the downloaded file and drag Cueflow into Applications.
- Enter your key, or click Try free for 14 days.
Three questions
On the first launch, Cueflow asks three questions, then starts a first listen. You can change everything later in Settings.
Where is your music?
- Your folders The folders where Cueflow found music. Tick the ones it should know. A Rekordbox export key is flagged: these are copies, better leave it unticked.
- Another folder Adds a folder Cueflow did not find.
- The watched folder The folder you copy your new tracks into. Cueflow watches it and prepares each track as soon as it arrives. Otherwise, pick None, I add them by hand.
What do you mix on?
- Your software Pick your software: Rekordbox, Serato or both. For Serato, Cueflow writes MP3, WAV and AIFF files (see Serato).
What about your cues?
- Your hot cues What Cueflow does with the hot cues you already placed. With Ask me every time, you choose track by track when you send (see Prepare).
- Memory cues On top of the hot cues, a memory cue at the start of each section (intro, break, drop…). Your own memory cues are always sent.
The first listen
After the third question, Cueflow reads your folders, then listens to your 20 most recent tracks. For each one it finds the tempo, locks the grid, finds bar 1, reads the key, splits the track into sections and places the hot cues. Count about 13 seconds per track.

Good to know
- Cueflow reads your audio files, it never changes them: not the tags, not the place, not the name.
- A file you move or rename keeps its grid and cues: Cueflow recognises it by its content.
