Drop audio cues into your DAW timeline. Have them fire on cue, every time. Never miss a section change again.
No timecode. No daisy-chain delay. The marker hits, the band hears the count-in, and every output lights up at the same instant.
Every piece of Cue Engine, in motion.
Cue Engine speaks the next section into their in-ear mix — "Chorus · 2 · 3 · 4" — timed so beat 4 lands exactly on the section change. Tempo-locked, every time.
If you know your song starts the chorus at bar 17, you know enough to run your whole show. Add sections from the library, set the bar, hit Add. The voice cue is generated in the background — no recording, no setup.
47 apps in the dropdown — Resolume, ProPresenter, Lightkey, X32, Wing, DM7, Avantis, Eos, QLab, OBS… Pick one and Scan finds it on your network in seconds. No ports. No addresses. No %d.
Type 4,4,4,4 in a cue's auto-slide field and ProPresenter advances every 4 bars. Type 2,2,2,2 for fast changes. Type 8 if you just want one slide to live for 8 bars. Match the music; never click the next button.
Screens and lights have transition time. Set Pickup to fire the cue a couple of beats before the section starts — clips, slides and lighting hit visually on the change, not a beat after.
Cue Engine runs a built-in web server. Every band member and engineer opens the URL on their phone to see the next cue, the BPM, the song, and the bar countdown. Plus a chat — for when "lyrics not loaded" needs to reach the keys player.
Run the DAW on stage, run ShowLink on the screen-engineer's laptop in the booth. The slave receives the master's setlist and cues over the local network — and fires its own ShowLink targets independently.
Visuals firing the wrong scene mid-service? Hit MUTE OUTPUT. ShowLink stops dead — no more screens, lights or mixer commands — while voice cues and the band's audio carry on uninterrupted. Click again to resume.
Build your whole service as a setlist — opener, worship 1, prayer interlude, worship 2, sermon walk-in, closer. Each song carries its own cues. Hit NEXT between songs; the cue list reloads, the BPM follows.
Verse. Chorus. Bridge. Tag. Drop. Outro. Cue Engine ships with the section names worship and modern music actually use — click one, type the bar, done. Custom names anytime you need them.
Pick your count-in length — 2, 3 or 4 beats. Cue Engine speaks the section name first, then counts up to it. The final beat lands exactly on bar 1 of the new section. Tight on slow songs. Tight on fast songs.
Every cue fire pushes the current BPM to Resolume. Pulse-synced effects, beat-matched VJ loops, beat-driven strobes — all now driven by the same clock as your band. Slow the song mid-rehearsal? Resolume tracks it.
Just need voice cues for your band? Lite. Voice cues plus the mobile monitor your crew shares? Comms. The whole show — ShowLink, Master/Slave, MUTE OUTPUT? Full. Upgrade later by changing one config file. No reinstall.
