1) A Unique DJ Timeline Tool
The easiest and most effective one should be listed first: DJ.Studio’s ability to create mixes with more precision, detail, and efficiency. DJ.Studio is a unique mix creation tool that upgrades the entire DJ production workflow – from discovery to distribution.
The inspiration came from the limited options DJs have to produce DJ mixes.
Previously, you could only create mixes by recording a live deck performance or building them in a production DAW – but neither of these options is ideal for rapidly creating seamless mixes. Recording them live on your decks at home takes time to prep and perform; if one small mistake is made, the entire mix must be recorded. On the other side of the coin, producing them entirely in your DAW is tedious and laden with annoyances like warping and tempo matching tracks.
That’s where DJ.Studio comes in – it evolves the DJing process.
Sitting in between traditional DJ software and music production DAWs – DJ.Studio is known as a DAW for DJs. It’s the perfect interface for the ‘Studio DJing Method,’ a powerful alternative to live DJing that is fast, efficient, fun, and effective. What more could you ask for?
DJ.Studio enables the creation of mixes on a DAW-style timeline editor, giving professional DJs a bird’s eye view of the energy flow of the entire mix to create even more narratively-driven mixes and giving new DJs visual feedback on how an extended mix of music is put together.
This presents several advantages over using the two previous methods:
- Faster, more efficient workflow – experiment with your mix, and render it perfectly without needing to rehearse and record live.
- Editing tools designed for DJs – No need to ‘hack’ the tools of a music production DAW, this software is explicitly designed for creating DJ mixes.
- Integration – DJ.Studio connects to all other major DJ software libraries, so you can share libraries between the two.
- Deeper mix crafting – Thanks to the non-linear editor, you can craft and sculpt your mixes in more detail than performing live. Resulting in more expressive and engaging DJ sets.
Of course, this is not a replacement for live mixing, but it is an alternative method to create radio shows or mixtapes. DJ.Studio is also a perfect tool to accompany live DJing methods, as you will find out later in this article.
It’s multi-platform too, and works on Mac and Windows. You can Download It Here!
2) Mix With Online Sources
Mix music from a range of online sources; where you can find and mix some of the most obscure and undiscovered gems seamlessly into the software.
Create mixes from YouTube, Spotify, and 1001Tracklists in the online project mode.
(Beatport and Beatsource integration are in beta and will be live soon).
DJ.Studio lets you test out tracks when creating mixes. It’s also legal, ensuring the copyright owner gets the royalties owed from each listen, and, most importantly, you can use whatever music you find completely stress-free and without having to worry about major label’s legal teams knocking at your door.
You can share your YouTube mix with anyone with an internet connection – they can even listen to it on mobile, without making an account meaning you can get the music into the hands of your friends, family, and fans in seconds.
The developers are currently working on a ‘Legalize Mode.’ This automatically creates a Beatport shopping cart of the tracks in your YouTube mix. You can then buy the tracks, and DJ.Studio will instantly recreate your mix, with all the automation and edits. This is the ideal tool for testing out various transitions between tracks and seeing how different tracks flow together, letting your next live set be even more engaging and exciting when you take to the decks knowing every potential route your set could take instead of doing it all on the fly and hoping for the best.
3) Experimentation & Planning Power
We just touched upon this a bit in the previous section, but it’s powerful enough to warrant its own dedicated section. Because you can achieve a deeper experimentation when planning DJ sets through automixing functions and playlist management. Don’t waste time checking the decks for the right order or songs.
Instead, effortlessly experiment with the order using the playlist editor or lean on the machine learning baked into the software and let is comb through thousands of different potential mix combinations, finding the best ways to organize and deliver your music.
DJ.Studio makes harmonic mixing easy by showing the harmonic compatibility of tracks and suggests extra songs to bridge key gaps. Test any song in your mix before you buy it. You have the world’s largest DJ library waiting at your fingertips.
- Try out some songs you think might work in a mix
- See if you’re happy with the results
- If you like it, buy and download the track to mix with.
- If you don’t like it, no problem – because you haven’t wasted any money.
4) Automix
Create professional mixes in record time with DJ.Studio’s automix.
Don’t worry, automix isn’t a replacement for a DJ’s skill or artistic vision – it’s a co-pilot to take the strain off the mixing process, letting you put more energy into expression.
The automix algorithm has two main purposes – harmonic mixing, and beatmatching.
DJ.Studio can suggest an order for your DJ playlist, making sure the mix uses compatible keys from track to track. It also automatically places tracks on the timeline, and matches their beats, keeping them in time and on beat.
The automix assistant is perfect for pro and beginner DJs. If you are new to DJing, you probably haven’t spent much time working out how to mix harmonically – it can be a bit of a headache at the start. If you’re a pro or advanced DJ – you might already use harmonic mixing in your sets, but it takes a fair amount of time and energy to work out a harmonic flow.
Let DJ.Studio take care of the calculations, giving you back the headspace to focus on the creative aspects of the mix that we all know are the only things your fans really care about at the end of the day.
5) Transition Editor
Quickly create masterful transitions with the seamless editor. The transition editor is designed to enhance work at both ends of the creative spectrum – speed, and precision.
Access infinite control over how the mixer transitions from song to song. This transition editor lets you create transitions that you wouldn’t be able to perform live (unless you’re an octopus). Thanks to the multi-layered automation system, you can edit the parameters on a timeline for any effects system at once.
6) Versatile Export
To build an effective brand, you need to be everywhere at once and the export function on DJ.Studio lets you publish your finished mixes anywhere.
DJ.Studio’s export engine lets you quickly render your finished mixes in ~1/3 of the time of the mix. This means that it instantly saves time compared to mixing them live, as you don’t need to spend 1:1 the length of the mix recording it.
You can export your mix to MP3, WAV, YouTube video, and more. This let’s you connect with your established fans faster and easier and lets new fans you never knew you had stumble on your music organically.
You can also export the timestamp and tracklist information. This can be added to a YouTube description to create the chapter dividers in the player timeline automatically.
Another neat feature is the ability to turn your mix into a full Ableton live multitrack project (with all the automation) for further editing.
7) Instant Online Mix Sharing
Instantly share your mixes online.
You can export local file mixes to YouTube, Soundcloud, and Mixcloud, with a few clicks of a button.
If you create a YouTube project in DJ.Studio, you can share your mix with the online player.
This is connected to the DJ.Studio community hub where each user has a profile for sharing their mixes. You can share your mix using the generated QR code or URL link.
It has a busy and supportive community who are always listening and liking mixes.
The sharing setup in DJ.studio further streamlines the essential process of promoting yourself as a DJ.
8) Integration With Popular DJ Software
DJ.Studio is closely integrated with other popular DJ software – in and out.
You can use your existing DJ libraries in DJ.Studio, plan and draft a mix, and then send the arranged playlist to your DJ software to perform live.
This in-and-out approach is a pro-grade tool for DJs and lets you take advantage of both live and studio DJing.
DJ.Studio is integrated with the following music libraries:
- Rekordbox
- Serato
- VirtualDJ
- Traktor Pro

This gives DJs a smart and intuitive way to prepare their DJ sets before a live performance.
9) Video Creator
Mixes published online typically reach a wider audience when they include an engaging video – which is where DJ.Studio also excels.
DJ.Studio features a built-in video creation engine, letting you make audio-reactive videos without any experience or knowledge.
The video creator lets you combine multiple elements to make your videos.
The backgrounds can be solid colors, custom pictures, or reactive animations.
You can also display track information overlays, which show the track and artist name, and cover art. There are a few other layers you can add for extra personalization.
These can then be exported in HD quality and uploaded to YouTube to grow your online presence.
10) Active Community and Support
DJ.Studio has a built-in community hub – so you can easily connect with other users, check out their mixes, and get feedback on your own.
DJ.Studio also has a built-in live support chat, where you can quickly get help with specific questions. There is an extensive online helpdesk full of articles, and an active Discord channel if you want to ask a question in the middle of the night.
