What Advantages Are There To Cue Record?

Still getting my live sampling chops together and typically just set a one shot trig to keep both hands free to play in a live sample. I’ve heard of Cue record, seen it in the manual, but don’t get what the advantages might be. Can anyone shed any light on this?

I use CUE record sometimes. It gives me opportunity to choose which track OR tracks simultaneously will I record in the dedicated buffer.
If you don’t use CUE record, then AFAIK you always have to choose between AB/CD/T1-8/MAIN in recording setup on the dedicated track.
Correct me if I’m wrong!
Cheers.

Ok, that makes sense. If you want to resample 3 tracks down to one without muting anything, for example?

CUE record is also fun when playing out of the buffer you’re recording:

  1. Cue levels then become like sends
  2. You can cue the track that’s playing the record buffer for dubby feedback

Discovering this was a big ‘aha moment’ for me and the OT, and when I really started feeling like I was dealing with something very new.

That’s definitely my favorite use of CUE.
You can use it as a pitch / reverse delay with feedback.

It can be fun once properly set up, but it is not that easy to set up and control. :wink:
