  4. Either search for music with the bar or paste in a track of your Spotify playlist URL. Make sure the playlist is set to public in the Spotify app.

  5. Add tracks, or an entire playlist to your DJ.Studio setlist by clicking the symbols. DJ.Studio takes the links from Spotify and finds the song on YouTube. You can then choose the order of the tracks, or...

  6. (Optional) Use the automix feature. This automatically orders and arranges your songs based on their key and tempo, keeping the beats matched and the mixes harmonic. These are pretty advanced skills that usually take DJs years to master, however, you can benefit from these in a matter of seconds.

  7. Further refine and personalize your mix. Using the detailed timeline editor and sample lanes. You can change transition points, edit the arrangement, add loops, effects, and more. After automixing, you'll see that DJ.Studio applies some transition presets - but you can customize your mix and transitions in as much detail as you want. This lets you create the perfect without any rehearsal or recording, or even much knowledge of DJing thanks to the intuitive interface.

  8. Share your mix with the DJ.Studio online mix player. Simply hit the Share button and enter the relevant details. This mix can then be shared with anyone on the internet using a QR code or URL - no account is needed for listening.

I started DJing when I was 15. Started a record label, residency by a club in Bristol. I’ve played at all the biggest clubs in Bristol (and the small ones) and have entertained thousands of dancers! I love writing about music, DJing, and technology. I've been blogging for DJ.Studio since the start of the project, and am always happy to answer questions and help fellow DJs out!
