Mix Dashboard

DJ.Studio has a project manager that lets you organize, save and load, and perform other tasks relating to your mix projects.

Written by Fleur van der Laan

The Mix Dashboard lets you manage all your DJ.Studio mixes from one place, and gives access to other features and operations.

From here you can:

  • Create new mixes

  • Manage existing mixes

  • Manage your music library

  • Browse the Marketplace

  • Visit the Community

  • Open DJ.Studio settings

  • Backup and import mixes

  • Access the DJ.Studio academy

The Mix Dashboard shows all your saved DJ.Studio mix projects, as well as a range of information and actions relating to each one.

To Open the Dashboard from within a mix, do one of the following:

  • Click the Home button at the top left

  • Click the DJ.Studio logo

  • Select Close from the menu dropdown.


Creating New Mixes

There are three places to start a new project:

  • Click Create new, the first tile in the My mixes row

  • Click New project at the top right of the dashboard

  • Hover over DJ mixes or Mashups in the left-hand panel and click the + that appears

This lets you create new mixes or mashups.


Managing Projects

When you click on one of your existing projects, the project opens straight away.

To manage a project without opening it, click the three dots on the project tile. This presents you with the following project management operations.

Open / Duplicate / Backup / Details / Delete

Open

This opens the chosen project.

Duplicate

This creates a new duplicate of the selected mix. This is useful if you want to experiment with a mix, without losing the current state of work.

Backup

This creates a DJ.Studio mix backup file (in .DJS format), which can be re-imported into any other instance of DJ.Studio using the Import Mix function.


In case of any issues with your mix, our support desk might ask for a backup of your mix, so our developers can figure out the issue and fix it.

  1. In DJ.Studio go to Mixes

  2. Click on the specific mix

  3. Click Backup

  4. In case of a support issue: Share the created .DJS file via a Google Drive, WeTransfer or Dropbox link with support@dj.studio

After the backup packaging is complete it will be stored in your selected DJ.Studio export folder.

Details

This opens the details screen for the selected mix. See below.

Delete

This deletes the mix from your hard drive. Be careful, as this cannot be undone.


The Details Screen

The details screen shows you information about the mix, along with its tracklist.

The information displays include:

  • Last modified

  • Created

  • Length (and track count)

  • Genre

  • Description

This can be useful information for certain situations, such as seeing info about the tracks or taking notes for a radio show.

You can move to the next or previous project using the arrows at the top right of the details screen.

Details Options

Click Open to open the mix, or click the three dots next to it for further options.

Edit details / Previous versions / Duplicate / Backup / Delete

Edit Details

Click the three dots, then Edit details. This lets you change the information for the selected mix, including the Title, Artist, Genre, and Description.

Previous Versions

Click the three dots, then Previous versions. This shows you save history for the mix. It shows the mix version number, followed by the date and time the version was saved.

From here, you can load previous versions of your mix saves.

For example, you might have made some mistakes in a more recent version, and want to go back to an early save.

Simply click on the version you wish to load to restore it’s earlier save state.

Add Personalized Image

You can customize your mix with a personal image instead of using the default artwork.

To add a personalized image:

  1. Open the details screen for the mix

  2. Hover over the current mix image

  3. Click on the image icon

  4. Upload your chosen picture from your computer


Organizing Mixes and Mashups into Folders

As your library of mixes and mashups grows, finding a specific project can get harder. You can organize your mixes and mashups into folders and use search to jump straight to the project you’re looking for.

To create folders and organize your projects:

  1. Open your full project lists, either click DJ mixes or Mashups in the left-hand panel, or click Show all next to My mixes or My mashups on the dashboard.

  2. Click New folder to create a folder and give it a name.

  3. Move projects into folders by dragging them onto a folder, or by right-clicking a mix or mashup and choosing “Add to folder”

To search for a specific mix or mashup, click the looking glass (search) icon in the top middle of the screen and type the name of the project you’re looking for.


Restore / Import Mix

The Import Mix function lets you import any DJS files created by DJ Studio's backup function.

Simply click the Import button at the top right of the dashboard, or Import at the bottom of the left-hand panel, then select the .DJS file you would like to restore. You can also double-click a .DJS file in your file browser.


Source Browser

The left-hand panel gives you access to a range of sources within DJ.Studio like

  • Home

  • Marketplace

  • Community

  • Academy

  • Your projects

    • DJ mixes

    • Mashups


Marketplace

The Marketplace is where you can upgrade your plan or buy DJ.Studio extensions.

Add-on extensions are specialised extras you buy once, and they stay yours on every plan. Each extension has a Learn more button with further information.

Extensions you already own are listed under You already own at the bottom of the page.
