Cue points

In the beginning I could use 6-7 cue points. When I bought my S2 I forced myself to use only max 4!
So nowdays I use the following setup for cue points:
#1 where I want the track to start from (doesnt need to be the very beginning of the track)
#2 is somewhere in the midle (can be in a spot there I can jump in case I’m out of time and want to speed up to the end)
#3 spot there I want to jump to get to the end or the place there I start mix out the song
#4 is always a simple loop
#5-#8 sometimes I use as a marker only. Like if I want to mark in the track a place there vocal starts or bring attention to a good spot and so on.

I actually try to use all 8 in traktor mainly because recently I have been doing alot more cue point juggling. Every song has interesting/recognizable parts that can be used

#1 Load marker where I want the song to start
#2 An alternative start to a song. Say its liek a trance track that has a long into. I may want to start it further into the track
#3 Breakdown/Vocals/Build-up (pending on the track)
#4 The Drop /Mixout Point
#5-6 Mixout Point
#7-8 Snare Drum, Vocal or anything interesting really towards the end of the track that can be used

I also tend to write comments in traktor for some cue points. Mostly for vocals . Like if in the song theres a part that says “Drop the bass” I will write that down. It heps me to find more commonalities between music. I like to mix alot of gneres so so mixing with words is another way for me to bridge the gap between genres.
