Hey chris,

I love this, thanks!

is it possible to adjust the script so it will do a minus 8 or 16 bars?

For example whenever I make a cue before a drop I will count 8 -16 bars before it so I can time the drop with a mix rather than a cut.

Absolutely - set to 8/16 bars in the dropdown, move the playhead to the drop and then use mode 3 to work backwards from there 💪

Just tested this myself and all working fine here. Try resetting the permissions and/or removing/reinstalling the shortcut

Weird. Maybe it's an issue with the playlist export itself, maybe try it with a different 1 track playlist and see if you get anywhere?

I tested with a new 1 track playlist and it worked ok. As soon as I put more than one track in any playlist I get the error?

Hey Chris.

First I wanna say Thanks for your great content! Absolutely useable stuff.

I have a question: When I try to open the ShortCuts the system says:

Safari cannot open the page because the address is invalid.

Did I miss something, or am I doing it wrong?

Maybe you can help?!

Thanks and Blessings

Timsen

Hey there - to clarify are you talking about when you click the download button in the mac tools pdf itself?

Hey Chris. Thanks for your response. Exactly. When I press the button in the pdf.

Chris - Firstly, thanks for sharing this. It's really appreciated.

I can't access the link. it takes me to the xMy Settings CDJ Compatibility Guidex page and i don't have (i actually never did get it) the welcome email with the link,

Maybe i'm doing something wrong though?

Thanks, Alan

Got it now - Thanks Chris.

Just ran it on a small playlist to test it - Worked pretty well. Very clever.

Great work and thanks again mate

My mac got stuck for 45min just to put 3 hot cues in the start of a song. It doesn't worth it. I was really angry, but I'm trying to keep it polite.

Sorry to hear that, definitely shouldn’t take that long. Dis you have anything else running? Have you tried a different mode/tune?
