Where Does Deckadance Store Cues and Settings?
Deckadance keeps its library database and cues beside your music, with settings in app data folders.
Last updated
Deckadance tracks analyzed audio, cue points, and loops in its own library database rather than in the files. Music stays where it was. Move the audio and the links break, so settle folder layout early.
Back up the database plus settings before version jumps. Exact database names shifted across the Stanton and Image-Line eras, so copy the app data tree whole. Export key cue sheets separately for gigs that cannot fail.
Where Deckadance stores this, by platform
Documents and AppData (library database)
Library database plus analyzed track cache. Exact filenames vary by Deckadance generation, so back up the vendor folders whole with the app closed.
Music and Application Support (library database)
Same split as Windows. VST and AU plugin copies share the database. Keep audio paths identical when moving between Mac and PC rigs.
Frequently asked questions
Will moving music break Deckadance cues?
Yes if paths change. Relocate through library tools or keep identical trees on both machines. Reanalysis after a move can drop unsaved cue edits.
What should I copy before a show?
The library database, settings, and the exact music folders. Test the full set on the gig machine a day early. Carry exports of critical mixes as plain audio too.
