This article addresses a common question about exporting edited tracks from DJ.Studio for use in various live DJ software platforms. Based on a recent customer conversation, we will guide you through the steps for making and exporting your edited tracks efficiently.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Understanding Export Options in DJ.Studio
DJ.Studio does not export individual edited tracks with transitions directly. Instead, it exports the entire mix as a WAV file. This method ensures that your mix transitions seamlessly without any errors during a live performance.
2. Editing Individual Tracks
If you want to create an edited version of a single track (e.g., with intro and outro edits or effects like echo), follow these steps:
Load the Track: Import the track you want to edit into DJ.Studio.
Make Your Edits: Use DJ.Studio’s tools to perform phrase edits, apply effects, and adjust the track to your liking.
Create a Mix with One Track: Make a mix that includes only the edited track.
Export the Mix: Export this mix as a WAV file.
3. Using Your Edited Track in Any DJ Software
Once you have exported the WAV file of your edited track, you can import it into any DJ software (such as Serato, Traktor, Rekordbox, or Virtual DJ) and treat it as you would any other track in your library. This allows you to use the edited version in your live performances seamlessly.
4. Exporting Multiple Tracks with Transitions
If you need to export multiple tracks with transitions between them:
Create a Mashup: Load the tracks you want to use into DJ.Studio and create a mashup or mix.
Export as One WAV File: Export the entire mashup as a single WAV file.
Import to Your DJ Software: Import the exported WAV file into your DJ software. This way, you can play the mashup as one continuous track during your live set.
Example Scenario
Customer Query: "I do intro edits and outro edits for commercial/pop music songs in other software. I do this so that I can mix it easier when DJ'ing live at events. When exporting a mix from DJ Studio, can you, for example, load a single track, do some phrase edits and an echo effect, save the track as is, and then export the edited track to use in my DJ software?"
Solution:
Load the desired track into DJ.Studio.
Perform the necessary phrase edits and apply the echo effect.
Create a mix with only this track.
Export the mix as a WAV file.
Import the exported WAV file into your DJ software for use in your live performances.
Conclusion
DJ.Studio allows for flexible track editing and export options, ensuring that your live sets can benefit from pre-edited tracks. By exporting your edits as WAV files, you can seamlessly integrate them into your DJ software and deliver a flawless performance.
