DJ.Studio 5.0: the DJ DAW that reads the structure of every song

DJ.Studio is a DJ app built like a DAW. You lay out the whole mix on one timeline and shape every transition until it sounds right. DJs, producers and radio hosts use it for DJ mixes, mashups, radio shows, video mixes and live sets, alongside their rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, djay Pro, VirtualDJ, Engine DJ or Mixed In Key music library. More than 360,000 people use DJ.Studio, and it won the NAMM TEC Award for DJ Production Technology in 2025.

Powerful Features for Hip-Hop and R&B DJs

Two features matter most for hip-hop and R&B DJs. Double- and half-tempo matching mixes a 75 BPM track into a 150 BPM track without changing either tempo, and the Scratch Editor lets you program scratches straight into a transition. Built-in stem separation and up to 10 sample lanes make it a full mashup studio, with voice-over recording straight into the mix.

DJ.Studio 5.0: Intelligent Song Structure Detection

Version 5.0, out 11 November, reads the structure of every song. It detects the phrases in each track (intro, verse, chorus, bridge and more), shows them on the waveform and starts every transition on a phrase. Harmonize orders the tracklist by key and BPM, and the editor snaps to phrases the way a DAW snaps to bars. A new Smart Beatgrid stays locked to the music, even when a track’s tempo drifts.

A New Audio Engine for Faster Performance

The core is completely rewritten around a new audio engine built natively in C++. It uses far less CPU and memory, so it runs smoothly on older laptops, and exports are up to three times faster than in version 4. Finished mixes go out as audio or video, to Mixcloud, or back to any of those six DJ apps with cue points and beatgrids intact.
