The features mentioned below are available in DJ.Studio 4.1 March 16 2026.
Voice-over recording in the Studio — record directly in your mix
DJ.Studio Sample Pack 2026 — fresh sounds for your productions
Stop copying audio data to the DJ.Studio database folder — major disk space savings
Folders in the Samples tab — better organization for your library
Folders and search in your mixes & mashups — no more scrolling through 200 mixes to find the one you need
Faster stems during mix creation — optimized processing, less waiting
These features will become part of DJ.Studio 4.2:
Cue-point detection — automatic markers for perfect transitions
Improved key detection — more accurate harmonic mixing
No more cluttered home screen, long waits for stem separation, and juggling multiple apps for voice-overs. With this release, you can organize your samples, mixes, and mashups into folders, search like a pro, record voice-overs directly in the studio, and enjoy faster stems for instant mixing.
We’ve also optimized file management to save disk space, added a lot of free samples in a new Sample Pack, and made tons of small improvements.
Voice-over recording in the Studio
Record voice-overs directly inside DJ.Studio. This is useful for radio shows, podcast-style mixes, or adding spoken intros and outros to your sets. No need to switch to a separate recording app and import the audio afterwards.
1. Enable the Input lane using the eye icon in the top right corner of the Studio
2. Select your input device at Settings > General > Audio > Input Device
3. Open a mix or mashup project
4. Click the Input lane on the left side of the screen
5. Click the Record button
6. You will have 4 beats before recording starts
7. Click Record or Pause/Space bar to stop recording
8. Your recorded clip will appear in the Input lane
You can configure the amount of ducking of the master lane and influence the gain.
When you hoover on the Voice recording, there are buttons to:
remove background noise
add reverb
and of course you can add all the regular automations, EQ etc to this voice sample.
DJ.Studio Sample Pack 2026
A new collection of samples included with DJ.Studio. Ready to use in your mixes and productions.
In the Samples tab, click the Free samples button to check them out.
In the Complete Loops folder you can find layered samples which are constructed of multiple parts and are marked with a blue four-cornered icon.When you select one of these, you can either add the full combined sample to your project, or expand it to browse its individual elements and add only the parts you want.
Example:
• A drum impact made of a kick, a clap, white noise, and a sub drop
• A riser built from noise, synth, and percussion
• A transition effect with sweep, hit, and tail combined
Instead of one flat audio file, it is a small stack of elements grouped together.
Why this matters:
• You can use the full impact instantly
• Or take only the clap, only the noise, or only the sub
• More control, less digging through folders
In short, it is a pre built mini sound design stack that you can use whole or in parts.
You can:
• Add the full layered sample as one combined sound
• Open it and select individual layers to add separately to your audio clips
Stop copying audio files to the DJ.Studio database folder
Previously, DJ.Studio would copy your audio files into its own database folder when you added tracks to a mix or mashup project. That meant every track existed twice on your drive.
With this new version, DJ.Studio will add references to your original files, instead of copying the tracks which can save a lot of disk space, especially if you have a large library.
If you have been using DJ.Studio for a longer time, your database can be already pretty large.
When this feature is released via DJ.Studio Next, added tracks will be linked directly to the files on your hard drive via file referencing. As a safety measure, we will still copy these tracks to your database. This ensures full compatibility with DJ.Studio 4.0, allowing you to switch between DJ.Studio 4.0 and DJ.Studio Next (4.1) without issues.
When DJ.Studio 4.1 is officially released, we will stop copying the audio files and even offer a cleanup mechanism to cleanup your existing DJ.Studio database.
This change doesn't mean a lot of visual changes in the app. When you have changed the location of a file on your machine, and you open a mix project in DJ.Studio, you could see a message like this, where you are asked to relocate the file.
Folders in the Samples tab
You can now organize your samples into folders inside the Samples tab. If you work with a lot of jingles, drops, sound effects, or loops, this makes it much easier to keep things tidy and find what you need quickly.
Open the DJ.Studio > Studio > Sample > Library tab
Click on the + Add button
Choose New folder
You can move samples to a folder by dragging a sample to the folder or right mouse click on a sample and choosing "Move"
Folders and search in your mixes & mashups
As your library of mixes and mashups grows, finding a specific one gets harder. You can now organize them into folders and use search to jump straight to what you're looking for.
Open Your Mixes or Your Mashups
Click New folder to start organizing.
Drag a project onto a folder or right mouse click on a Mix or mashup project and choose Move to.
Use the looking glass icon to search for a specific mix or mashup.
Faster stems during mix creation
In DJ.Studio 4.0 we use two steps for stem separation:
We generate fast visual stem waveforms.
When you play audio with a stem muted or extracted, we process the real stem separation in high quality.
On slower machines, especially older Intel Macs, that second step can take time.
In DJ.Studio 4.1 you can select a faster Stem separation mode in Edit mode in the Studio.
This faster stem separation has lower quality (Mono, 22.050 Hz) but it is up to 5 times faster on Intel machines. This makes editing much smoother on older hardware.
Important: When you export your mix, we always use full high quality stem separation. Your final audio does not lose quality.
How to switch quality in the Studio:
• Go to Settings > Extensions > Stem Separation
• Or use the switch in the top right corner of the app
If you first worked in lower quality and want to switch to high quality later:
Turn the switch in the top right corner yellow.
Click Preload Stems to generate high quality stems for all separated parts in your project.
Wait until processing is done. Yes, this is the coffee moment.
This way you edit fast and still export in full quality.
If you open DJ.Studio on a slower machine, Dj.Studio will automatically suggest you to switch to the faster lower quality .
