Just wanted to say thanks for the new version of Macs Cue.
It is still a vital part of the Alice Cooper show. I couldn't imagine having to ever go
back to trying to run cd's for my cues.
—Randall Muellier
I tried Macs Cue and had it sussed in 5 minutes without reading the instructions!
—Iain Urquhart
Macs Cue is so simple that it took me minutes to learn.
Yet, after three years designing with the program, I find myself discovering
dozens of new ways to use it each time I load it up.
