Encue: DJ Set Prep

Encue is for the night before the gig. Building a set usually means hours of digging: auditioning records one at a time, checking tempo and key in your head, and hoping a transition works. Encue turns that evening around, so you spend it choosing and listening instead of searching. CHOOSE FROM WHAT MIXES Pick an opening record. Encue ranks the records in your whole library that actually mix out of it, not just the forty you always remember. Each one shows its reasons: the key move, how the energy changes at the cue, how far it's pitched and whether the phrases line up. HEAR IT BEFORE YOU ADD IT "In key" doesn't mean "it works". Press Space and Encue plays the exact transition, from your mix-out cue into the next record's mix-in cue, beat-matched, with a proper bass swap. Judge it with your ears, not a score. KEYBOARD FIRST Space to hear the blend. N for the next suggestion, from the same run-up so you compare like with like. Return to add it, and the next best pick loads straight away. U to go back. ⌘F to search your whole library. YOUR SET, YOUR CALL Encue ranks and explains. It never builds a set on its own. You pick every record. YOUR LIBRARY IS SAFE Encue reads the collection you export from rekordbox and never writes to it. When the set is ready, export it as a rekordbox playlist, import it, and prepare your USB the way you always do. HEAR THE WHOLE SET BACK Play your finished set through, blend by blend, before you play it out. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU HAVE Encue uses your cue points, keys and beat grids. Records with missing cues, keys or energy get estimates, clearly marked. Mixed In Key is optional; Encue uses its analysis if you have it. TRY IT STRAIGHT AWAY No rekordbox to hand? The built-in demo library has 14 original house tracks with cues, keys and beat grids. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no analytics, no internet connection. Your library and your sets stay on your Mac. REQUIREMENTS A Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 15 or later, and a rekordbox collection exported as XML (File › Export Collection in xml format).
