How to Recover Hot Cues in Virtual DJ Easily

Okay, listen up friend. So you’re DJing like a pro, right? You’ve got your sick beats, and everyone is dancing like there’s no tomorrow. But then BAM! You accidentally hit a button or spill your drink on the keyboard (ughhhhh), and your hot cues disappear faster than a pizza at a party. What do you do now? Panic? Cry? Call for backup? Naahh. Just chill, because I’m here to help you recover those hot cues like a boss. Let’s dive in!

Step One: Calm Down, Seriously

First things first. Breathe. I know it feels like all hope is lost but it’s not time to start writing your sad DJ autobiography just yet. Grab some water or maybe an energy drink if you’re feeling wild. Just sit back and relax for a sec.

Step Two: Check Your Cue List

Next, check your cue list because you might find them hiding there like playing hide and seek. Open Virtual DJ and look for this lil section where all your hot cues usually chill. If they are there, high five yourself! If not, carry on to the next step.

Step Three: Look for Backups Like A Detective

You might be asking yourself—do I have backups? Well hunny let’s channel our inner Sherlock Holmes here. Check if you saved any DJ sets somewhere else or even if you’ve exported old files that still have the cues saved in them.
Sometimes they are out there just waiting for you to find them.

Step Four: Restart Virtual DJ (Duh)

And sometimes all you need is to restart Virtual DJ like it’s a bad relationship that’s been dragging on too long. Close it down completely and open it again; this simple trick works more than you’d think! Kind of like turning it off and turning it back on again fix 90% of life’s problems.

Step Five: Re-create Those Bad Boys

Okay so let’s say they’re still MIA – now it’s time to put on our DIY hats! Go through the track again and manually recreate those hot cues from memory (or what you think was cool). It might take longer but hey, who doesn’t love a good challenge?

Step Six: Save Like Your Life Depends On It

Now that you’ve recreated those hot cues, make sure to save them immediately! You don’t wanna lose them again right?! So hit that save button harder than someone smashing the “skip” button at karaoke night when their buddy picks a tough song.

Step Seven: Cry Into Your Mixes (But Not Too Much)

After all that hard work you may feel teary-eyed but it’s alright! Let out some steam with a good ol’ cry while listening to sad music—but then wipe those tears away because you’re back in the game! You are too talented to let missing hot cues ruin your vibe!
