Roadmap

Where CueCart is headed.

A direction, not a promise of dates — priorities shift with feedback from real rooms.

CueCart is built hand-in-hand with the people who run shows on it. This roadmap is a direction, not a promise of dates — priorities shift with feedback from real rooms. Want to weigh in? Request a feature or join the beta.

Now available in 1.3.4

  • Expanded DJ workspace — both decks and the mixer above the Library and playlist, alongside compact, split and floating views.
  • Smart DJ and Simple AutoDJ — automatic handoffs with clear A/B playlist assignments and an on-air deck view.
  • Deck and Cue Pad effects — more performance and exit effects, with themed controls and keyboard/MIDI support.
  • Portable keyboard and MIDI bindings — global shortcut/action preset import and export, plus limited VirtualDJ profile preview.
  • Easier Stems setup and reuse — optional download during installation, Settings → Stems for later downloads, and retained track stems without a default storage cap. Set up Stems.
  • Updated themes and mixer controls — aligned HUDs, matching fader lanes, channel mutes and consistent theme colors.
  • Icecast and SHOUTcast legacy broadcasting — supported server selection, saved destinations and explicit source/admin ports.

Up next

  • Spice Rack — a dedicated pad rack right beside the DJ Deck, stocked with your favourite one-shots and stingers. Punch in a clap, a laugh, a siren or a sweep the instant the show calls for it — your signature sounds always a fingertip away, never a fumble or a beat of dead air.

  • Mic input — bring a live microphone into the mix for talkover and hosting.

  • Ducking — automatically dip beds and music under the mic or a chosen cue.

  • More Mix FX — build on the mixer EQ, filters and Echo Out already available, with additional effects for live transitions and output shaping.

  • Radio automation — live-assist and unattended playout, station clocks, rotations, scheduled events, IDs, jingles and predictable transitions.

  • Deeper playlist and Library organisation — build on the existing saved playlists with tags, categories and workflows for daily programmes, recurring shows and special broadcasts.

  • Scheduling — recurring programmes, dayparting, fixed-time events and calendar-driven playout.

  • Voice tracking: recording and editing — record presenter links, trim and refine them, then place them directly into playlists before broadcast.

  • Broadcast operations — build beyond the current Icecast streaming with reusable show templates, playback history and logs, manual takeover, monitoring and resilient recovery.

  • Control and workflow improvements — deeper per-pad routing plus ongoing quality-of-life improvements across Cue Settings and the DJ workspace.

On the horizon

  • Cross-platform — the engine is built on cross-platform foundations; additional platforms are on the roadmap but not yet released. CueCart is Windows-first today.

This page reflects current thinking and will change. Nothing here is a commitment to ship by a particular date.
