Where is the DJ.Studio library located on my hard drive?

When installing DJ.Studio, the library is automatically placed in the following destinations:

  • /users/username/Music/DJ.Studio

You can easily change this destination in the DJ.Studio settings:

  1. Open the settings via the cog icon.

  2. Open the Folders Tab

  3. Next to the Database Location field, click Browse, then select the folder you want DJ.Studio to use as the library destination.

NOTE: The D.Studio "database" folder that we are referring too is the complete DJ.Studio folder that includes the following subfolders:
You can delete the content of the Cache and Logs folder before you copy it to a new location.



​WARNING: Do not try to install the DJ.Studio folder on an external SSD, because that will impact the performance of DJ.Studio substantially in a negative way.

Install DJ.Studio on a new/second machine

You can install DJ.Studio on 2 machines.

You need to sign in on the second machine with the same email address as on your first machine. Go to Settings > Account to see on which email address and which provider ( Apple, Google, Microsoft or Facebook) you used for your paid license.

NOTE: you don't need to enter the one-time activation code on your second machine, as that is a one-time activation code.


Be aware that the database is not shared between those two machines. If you want to move a mix from one pc to the other, you can Backup the mix on the one pc and import it to the other

Check out this article to see how that works:

If you want to move over all of your mixes, you can also copy the complete database by copying the Users/user/music/DJ.Studio folder to your new machine.

It's best to clear the Cache folder in the DJ.Studio folder first and also check if you want to copy the complete content of your export folders to the new machine.
