Self-review
Self-review notes.
Listen through your own mixes. Leave yourself notes that anchor to the moment and survive across versions.
Why self-review
Producers + mixers spend half their time listening to their own work in different rooms, different days, different states of mind. The notes you make at 2 AM after the fourteenth pass are not the notes you have at 9 AM the next day. Without a place to land them, they vanish.
Self-review in Cue is one scratchpad per track. No collaborators, no shares, no client. Just you, the playhead, and the moments you flag.
Open a track. Drop a note.
Visit /tracks/<id>. Press play. Hit + note at 1:42 the second you hear something. The composer freezes the timestamp; you can keep listening while you type. Save.
The note lives on the track, not on a round. Voice notes work the same way — record, transcribe, save. Hone the voice transcript with one click if you want it in engineer-speak for later.
Notes survive bounces
Upload v2 of the track and the notes stay. Cue uses the same canonical-anchoring that powers rounds — your "kick decay too long at 0:18" travels with the song. Resolve it when v2 fixes it; it grays out and tucks away.
Where it shows up
The track scratchpad lives behind a workspace addon — Settings → Addons → notes:track. Flip it on and the player on the track detail page swaps for the scratchpad surface (player + marker bar + your notes list).
Self-review notes don't surface anywhere else by default. They're scoped to you. If you later want to invite a collaborator into a structured review, that's a round — see rounds & takes.
Why nobody else does this
Catalog tools are built for the share path. Internal-only scratchpad notes don't show up well in a UI that's mostly "send this to someone." We built it because we kept wanting it.
