What is DJ.Studio’s Automix Feature?#

DJ.Studio's Automix feature, also known as Harmonize, is the secret sauce that makes this software what it is today. It's a clever algorithm that analyzes your chosen tracks and arranges them in the most harmonically and rhythmically pleasing order. This means no more clashing keys or awkward tempo jumps in your mixes. I can throw a bunch of tracks into a project, and Automix will instantly suggest a sequence that flows the best.

It’s more than just a simple sorting tool, though. It gives you a strong foundation for your mix, taking the guesswork out of track order. This allows me to spend more time on the creative side of DJing, like perfecting the transitions and adding my own unique flair to the mix.

Here are some of the settings and modes you can use with Automix:

• Key vs. BPM Priority: You can tell Automix whether to prioritize harmonic compatibility (mixing in key) or a smooth progression of beats per minute.

• Lock Tracks: If you know you want to start or end your mix with a specific track, you can lock it in place.

• Transition Presets: Apply a variety of pre-designed transitions to get a professional sound in seconds.

As you can see, the automix feature is very versatile, allowing for different parameters depending on how you want your overall mix to sound.

Different Ways to Use Automix#

I've found so many ways to incorporate Automix into my DJing, and it has become a key part of my creative process.

One of the most significant benefits for me is in planning my live sets. Before a gig, I can drop all the tracks I'm considering into DJ.Studio and let Automix work its magic. It gives me a clear idea of how the tracks will flow together, highlighting any potential awkward moments. I can then experiment with different track orders and transition ideas, all before I even touch the decks. This level of preparation gives me so much more confidence when I'm performing live, as I know my set is musically coherent. I can then export my prepared setlist with cue points to my preferred DJ software.

For those times when I need to create a studio mix for a podcast, a radio show, or a promotional recording, Automix is an absolute lifesaver. Instead of spending hours recording a mix live and hoping I don't make any mistakes, I can create a perfect mix from start to finish within DJ.Studio. I start by letting Automix create the initial sequence, and then I dive into the timeline to fine-tune every transition. I can adjust EQs, add effects, and even create complex automation that would be impossible to perform live. The result is a studio-quality mix that sounds polished and professional, all created in a fraction of the time.

Another fantastic use for Automix is for finding those perfect bridge tracks. We've all been there; you have two amazing tracks you want to play, but there's a significant jump in BPM, or the keys just don't match. This is where Automix shines. I can place the two tracks in my timeline and then add a selection of other potential tracks. Automix will then suggest the best track to bridge the gap, creating a smooth transition. This has saved me countless times and has helped me to be more adventurous in my track selections, knowing I have a tool that can help me navigate those tricky harmonic and tempo changes.
