Frequently Asked Questions

Cue is a digital audio workstation (DAW) that you control with your voice. Record, mix, add effects, and export — all through natural voice commands. It runs entirely in the browser, no download required.

Yes. Cue is completely free during the public beta. No credit card, no trial limits. We'll introduce plans later, but beta users will always get something for being early.

Cue works best in Chrome and Edge. Firefox and Safari are supported with some limitations in the Web Audio API. No download or plugin required — just open the URL.

Cue is designed for desktop. You can view the interface on mobile, but multi-track recording and voice commands work best on a laptop or desktop with a microphone.

Any microphone works for voice commands — even your laptop's built-in mic. For recording music, a USB microphone or audio interface will give you much better results.

Yes. Everything voice can do, you can also do with the mouse and keyboard. Voice is the fastest way, but it's never the only way.

Projects are saved locally in your browser. Your audio never leaves your machine unless you explicitly export it. If you sign in, your project metadata is associated with your account.

Yes. Cue detects all audio input and output devices connected to your system. Select your interface in the voice settings panel, and choose which input channel to record from or use for voice commands.

First, make sure your browser has microphone permission. Then check the voice settings panel — select the correct mic input and adjust the gain slider until the level meter shows activity. If you're using an audio interface, make sure you've selected the right input channel.

Cue supports WAV (uncompressed, full quality) and MP3 export. All tracks, effects, volume, and panning are mixed down into the final file exactly as you hear them.

Cue records at your system's native sample rate (typically 44.1kHz or 48kHz) in full resolution. Exports maintain this quality — WAV files are uncompressed, and MP3 files use a high bitrate.

Your music audio stays entirely on your machine. Voice commands are processed through a speech-to-text service, but the audio you record and mix is never uploaded anywhere.

There's no hard limit. The practical ceiling depends on your device's processing power. Most machines handle 8–16 tracks with effects comfortably.

Cue includes reverb, delay, EQ, and compressor — each with multiple presets. Effects are applied per-track with full voice control: "add reverb to Vocals", "remove delay from Guitar", etc.
