Output device: Choose which device plays your mix at App settings → General → Audio → Output.

Input device: Choose which microphone is used for voice recording at App settings → General → Audio → Input.

Apply Auto Gain: Toggle at App settings → General → Audio → Auto Gain to balance volume across all tracks in your mix.

Normalize individual tracks during import: Toggle at App settings → General → Audio → Normalize Individual Tracks During Import.
Track level is adjusted to balance loudness across your mix; these gain changes are visible per track and can be refined on the Master tab.

Repitch algorithm: Choose the audio stretcher engine at App settings → General → Audio → Audio Stretcher Engine:

DJ.Studio: built-in key detection; a consistent default across your whole library.

Mixed In Key: uses MIK if you own the extension.

Original: uses the pre-analyzed key already in the track's metadata (e.g. from Serato or another app you imported from).

Camelot Key (e.g. C Major = 8B, D Minor = 7A)

Open Key (e.g. C Major = 1d, D Minor = 12m)

Musical Note (e.g. C Major = C, D Minor = Dm)

Theme: dark, light, or match system settings.

Interface scale: adjust the size of the interface to fit your screen.

Keep zoom level: don't reset zoom when skipping to another transition.

Hide EQ controls: hide the EQ and filter knobs in the channel panels.

Track insert position: add new tracks after the selected track, or at the end of the mix.

Layout mode: keep channels at full height and scroll vertically; when off, everything shrinks to fit one screen.

Studio scrolling: scroll with Command + wheel or mouse wheel alone.

Input lane: adds a dedicated input lane in the timeline; music volume ducks automatically during input for clear speech playback.

Default track view: single waveform or stem-split view.

Waveform colors: customize standard waveform coloring.

Colored zoomed waveform: when zoomed in, color by frequency (RGB) like rekordbox, instead of plain white.

Stem style: how stems are displayed during transitions.

The buffer is the delay between audio being processed and played through your speakers; it gives your computer time to process audio before output.

Too low → glitches or dropouts on slower machines. Too high → added latency between actions and audio output.

Increase it if you experience glitches or dropouts; decrease it for lower latency on higher-performance machines.

Framerate: lower settings improve performance but reduce visual smoothness (does not affect audio).

High-res waveforms: enables higher resolution for Retina and other HD displays.

Watch locations: folders DJ.Studio keeps in sync; adding or removing tracks here updates your catalogue automatically.

Export location: where mix exports are stored.

Database location: where the DJ.Studio database is stored (useful for a portable database).

Disk cleanup: remove unused temporary audio files without touching your projects.

Extension install location: where extensions are installed.

Custom VST3 folder location: where your VST3 plugins are stored.

Auto relocate locations: fallback database locations for using DJ.Studio on multiple devices with the same database.

Dropbox: export mixes directly to Dropbox.

GPU Hardware Acceleration: Automatic by default; can be set manually to GPU (much faster on supported Windows machines) or CPU. If GPU is selected without hardware support, DJ.Studio falls back to CPU automatically.

Stems memory limit: Boosts the memory limit for stem audio to shorten loading time, at the cost of more RAM use. Only recommended above 32GB of RAM.

Stems cache size: Sets how much disk space (2GB–100GB) is used to cache separated stems. When full, the oldest cached stems are removed to make room; a project opened later will regenerate its stems on demand.

Clear stems cache: Frees disk space by deleting all cached stem files; stems regenerate the next time each track is used. This does not delete your stem samples or stem transitions — those are stored in the project itself, only the separated WAV files need regenerating.

Studio stem quality: Choose High quality (better on faster computers) or Preview quality (lighter). Exports are always rendered in high quality regardless of this setting.
