How to reduce the size of your DJ.Studio database

If you're looking to reduce the size of the database folder in DJ.Studio, here’s what you need to know:

  • DJ.Studio creates a \Music\DJ.Studio\Cache folder where stems are stored. This is the only folder you can currently clear to reduce space.

  • You can remove all the files from the \Music\DJ.Studio\Exports folder.

  • The audio-library-audioData folder retains copies of tracks used in projects, which should NEVER be cleared manually.

  • To manage storage more effectively, you can move the entire database folder to a different drive. After moving it, update the folder's location in DJ.Studio at Settings > Folders > Database folder to ensure proper functionality.

  • Make sure the new storage drive is fast and locally accessible. Avoid using network drives, as DJ.Studio requires high-speed file access for optimal performance.
