The Cues screen is the master list of every cue in your show.

What it's for — Point CueSync at a prepared track and it drafts a whole cue stack for you: it reads the track's phrase structure and energy, and for each phrase it lays down a cue — a build, a drop hi

The Library screen gives you a searchable, filterable view of all your tracks across every connected source.

Looks and Scenes are the reusable output presets your cues reference.

The Show Editor is where you build and arrange your Theatre show: add cues, sequence them on a timeline, set how each cue fires (timecode, manual GO, or chained), and inspect or edit every detail befo

The Show Timeline visualises your Auto Pilot fire plan against the loaded track's structure.

Track Prep is where you analyse tracks, edit beat grids, place hot cues, and review cue suggestions before using a track in a live set.

Timecode is the master clock screen for Theatre and full-edition rigs.

What it's for — A venue profile is a saved snapshot of a room's rig: which outputs to connect, what the rig can physically do, and how your cues should be routed there.

What it's for: Settings is the single place to configure every aspect of CueSync — your account and license, hardware connections, show automation behavior, and application preferences.
