Core Concepts

Learn these terms once and the rest of CuePlayer becomes simpler.

Songs

A song is the audio track you practice with. In Lite, the song is a local file opened from your device for the current session. In Pro, the song is uploaded to your library.

Phrases

A phrase is the part of the song you want to practice. It has a start point and an end point. In Pro, a phrase can also have a name so you can load it later.

Good phrase names describe the job:

• Verse entrance
• Counts 5-8
• Solo bar 12
• German line 3

Start Point

The start point is where phrase playback begins. The main play button starts from here, even if the audio cursor was somewhere else.

Set it by dragging the left phrase handle, tapping the start timestamp to enter a time, or double-clicking the start timestamp to use the current playback position.

End Point

The end point is where phrase playback stops or loops. When looping is off, playback stops there and returns to the start point. Set it the same way as the start point: drag the right handle, enter a time, or double-click the end timestamp.

Looping

Looping makes playback jump back to the start point when it reaches the end point. Turn it on for drilling. Turn it off for one clean rep. Widen the phrase if you want to hear what comes after it.

Playback Speed

Playback speed changes how fast the phrase plays. Start slower while learning. Move back toward normal speed once the phrase is reliable.
