Exporting Beatport Project Mixes
There are a few options when it comes to exporting Beatport Mixes.
Because these are streamed files, you cannot export them in the same way as Local File projects. It's not allowed to record DJ mixes with streaming files.
But we made a solution for that: It's called Legalize mix and let's you buy the tracks with a few clicks. Read more below.
When you're mix is ready to export:
Click Export in the top right corner, select the settings you would like for your export and click Export in the bottom right corner to Legalize.

Click Open Beatport Shopping List. You will now be taken to a DJ.Studio Cart playlist.
Click Buy All, and they will all be added to your Beatport Cart. If you've used tracks in your mix that you already own you'll see a notification asking if you want to re-purchase them, click no.
Open your shopping cart with the icon in the top right corner.
Complete the checkout process, and head back to DJ.Studio.
Click I've purchased the tracks. DJ.Studio rescans your account, locates the bought tracks, and will automatically start exporting.
DJ.Studio cannot find tracks that I have already purchased?
If DJ.Studio doesn't detect that the tracks have been downloaded to your library, you can try these options:
Click Download Tracks From Beatport. This will then create a .zip folder,
Click the Browse button in DJ.Studio and locate the downloaded zip.
Or
Manually download the files from the Beatport Website

Beatport Streaming Unsupported File Format
Some tracks on Beatport Streaming are 'Pre-Release Tracks'. These give users a taste of upcoming music. These will not work in DJ.Studio due to Beatport's terms of service.
You will have to wait until the track is officially released, sorry!
I bought some tracks on a different Beatport account
We request a list of all tracks that are bought with this account. Based on that, we check if you already bought the track. Once all tracks are in your account, we will take the next step and check if the tracks are in your library. When you have multiple accounts, this won't work. We are working on a solution for this, please email support if you are desperate.
