Topic: Cue vs POI
82cesarHome userMember since 2017
Hello, i have a problem with cues migration. I had Vdj 6 and now i have Vdj 8. I have copied the database.xml file but the cues disappear, and the path is correct. If this have a solution it would be great.
If not i would like to understand what is the meaning of cues pos, for example:
In Vdj 6 i have this:
<Cue Num="0" Name="Cue 1" Pos="546781" />
<Cue Num="1" Name="Cue 2" Pos="3825130" />
<Cue Num="2" Name="Cue 3" Pos="9292898" />
<Cue Num="3" Name="Cue 4" Pos="12573391" />
And in Vdj 8 for the same song i have this:
<Poi Name="Cue 1" Pos="12.386592" Num="1" />
<Poi Name="Cue 2" Pos="86.850625" Num="2" />
<Poi Name="Cue 3" Pos="210.815622" Num="3" />
<Poi Name="Cue 4" Pos="285.155803" Num="4" />
¿Is there any type of conversion between the pos value in the two versions?
¿what means Pos="546781"? beats? Hz?
Thanks a lot, i have lots and lots of cues and this is driving me crazy

This is only my though, nothing official ^^

If you take a look you get using (time = samples / samplerate)
samples / time = samplerate

546781 / 12,386592 = 44 142.97330532886
3825130 / 86,850625 = 44 042.63066615813
9292898 / 210,815622 = 44 080.68961796389
12573391 / 285,155803 = 44 093.05673502285

it look like your example track was encoded 44.1KHz

both CUE and POI are the same here, but POI can be more other event but CUEs (actions, automix, loops...)
integer CUE value represent position in number of samples (old version)
float POI value represent a more precise position in time (maybe the nearest 0 crossing point and/or beat quantize) it also not depends on sample rate and can be used with resampled tracks

difference being here in between -512 to 4096 being -11.7 ms to 92.9 ms is negligible compare to quality
