Frequently Asked Questions about Virtual DJ

Can I export beat grids or cue points to Virtual DJ?

At the moment, DJ.Studio does not have an export option to export beat grids or hot cues to Virtual DJ. We have to build that for every software tool separately because there is no universal way how to store beat grids in audio files. ​DJ.Studio already supports exporting Beat grids to Ableton and rekordbox. We are in the process of also buidling the export of beat grids to Virtual DJ.

What should I do if DJ.Studio can't find the Virtual DJ library folder?

If you see the message "DJ.Studio could not find your Virtual DJ library" please follow the instructions on this guide - Locating Integration Folders
