About
DJ.Studio is an award-winning, timeline-based digital audio workstation (DAW) designed exclusively for DJs. Unlike traditional DJ software focused on live performance, DJ.Studio brings a production-style workflow to mix creation, letting users build polished DJ mixes, mashups, radio shows, and video mixes faster than ever before—all from a laptop. At its core is the Harmonize engine, which uses millions of calculations to auto-order playlists based on tempo (BPM), key, and Camelot Wheel harmonic matching, ensuring every mix sounds professional with minimal effort. Users retain full creative control through a precision transition editor, where they can apply custom effects, automations, and personal audio samples. DJ.Studio integrates natively with industry-leading tools including Mixed In Key, rekordbox, Serato, VirtualDJ, Engine DJ, TRAKTOR, and iTunes, and can export sessions to Ableton Live for further production. Mixes can be exported as WAV or MP3 files, or published directly to Mixcloud and YouTube with auto-generated track lists—eliminating manual steps. A built-in Music Visualizer allows users to export video mixes as MP4 files ready for YouTube. Recording happens at 5x normal speed without sacrificing quality. Advanced features like stem separation, beatmatching, and harmonic mixing make it suitable for both beginners and seasoned performers. DJ.Studio won the prestigious NAMM TEC Award for Best DJ Tool in 2025, beating major industry players. It's trusted by 250,000+ DJs, producers, and content creators worldwide.
