The Project Browser window 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 - either click the Home button at the top left, or select Close from the menu dropdown.
Creating New Mixes
You will see the option to Start a New Mix at the bottom left corner, or in the project gallery.
This lets you create new mixes and presents you with some choices over the type of project you want to work with.
Managing Projects
When you click on one of your existing projects, you will be presented with the following project management operations.
Open / Edit / Duplicate / Backup / Delete
Open
This opens the chosen project.
Edit
This lets you change the information for the selected mix, including the Title, Artist, Genre, and Description.
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.
In DJ.Studio go to Mixes > Backup
Make the backup with the setting "Include Audio files" enabled.
If you plan on sending the mix to another machine, you should make sure this option is enabled. This will add the audio files to the .DJS folder, so you can restore the entire mix.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, you will be prompted to select a folder location to store the backup .DJS file.
Delete
This deletes the mix from your hard drive. Be careful, as this cannot be undone.
Mix Info Panel
There are three different tabs showing information about the selected mix.
This has three tabs - Tracklist, Details, and History.
Tracklist
This tab shows information relating to the tracklist of the chosen mix.
It includes the following for each track in a mix: Track Number, Key, BPM, Track Name
This can be useful information for certain situations, such as seeing info about the tracks or taking notes for a radio show.

Tracklist
This exports a .txt file containing the timestamp information, and name of each track. You can use this text to import the details into YouTube and Mixcloud, which use it to automatically create chapter dividers.
History
This tab shows you save history for the mix. It shows the mix version number, followed by any dates where changes were made to the mix.
From here, you can load previous versions of your mix saves.
