Why KimiCue
Stop cueing tracks manually.
KimiCue finds the drop in every track and places 8 hot cues automatically - no manual marking, no per-track input. Load your library, click Start, and every track has cue points ready to mix.
The problem
Manual cueing doesn't scale.
Loading each track, scrubbing to the drop, dropping a marker, then doing the same for every jump-in point before and after it. That's the workflow right now.
Multiply that by 500 tracks and you've got weeks of prep work that has nothing to do with actually DJing.

What it does
Built for DJs who mix on the drop.
Most electronic music is built around a drop. That's the moment you're mixing to - the moment the bass comes in, the crowd reacts, and your mix either lands or doesn't. KimiCue's algorithm is designed specifically to find that moment.
8 cues placed around the drop
Positions shown in beats relative to the drop. Exact spacing depends on the Cue Template selected. Learn about templates →
You don't mark the drop. KimiCue finds it automatically.
There's no step where you scrub a waveform and place a marker. KimiCue listens to the audio - energy surges, bass return, phrase boundaries - and works out where the drop is on its own. Then it writes all 8 cues without you touching the track at all.
This isn't a tool that makes manual cueing slightly faster. It replaces manual cueing entirely.
How it compares
Not just a single marker.
Rekordbox has a built-in auto-cue feature. It finds where the music starts after the opening silence and drops a single marker there. That's useful - it tells you where the track begins. But it's not the same thing.

Pricing
No expensive software required.
Tools like Mixed In Key are great for harmonic mixing and organising your sets by key and energy - but they cost $80+ and that's not what you need if your main problem is cue points.
KimiCue does one thing: finds the drop and sets your cues. It does it well, and it's a one-off payment with no subscription.
You also don't need a Rekordbox subscription. KimiCue reads from the free Rekordbox XML export - the library management features in Rekordbox are free to use. If you already use Rekordbox to organise your music, you already have everything you need.
