Serato setup guide
Export cues for Serato DJ
KimiCue can write Serato-compatible hot cue tags into your audio files. Follow this five-step guide to set it up from scratch.
Download Rekordbox (free)
Head to pioneerdj.com/rekordbox and download the free version. You don't need a paid plan — the XML export feature is available on the free tier.
Add your music folder
Open Rekordbox, go to Preferences → Collection, and add your music folder. Rekordbox will analyse your tracks and build the collection.
Export collection as XML
In Rekordbox, go to File → Export Collection in xml format. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it — your desktop is fine.
Run KimiCue with Serato mode
Open KimiCue, set the XML you just exported as your source, tick Write Serato Cues in the settings, then click Run. KimiCue writes hot cue tags directly into your audio files.
Open Serato DJ — cues are there
Launch Serato DJ Pro or Serato DJ Lite and import the same music folder. Your hot cues are already mapped and ready to go.
