DJ.Studio is a DJ software application launched in 2023. DJ.Studio uses a different approach[1] in comparison to other DJ programs like rekordbox, Traktor, and Serato. Instead it uses a workflow closer to a DAW or audio editing software, rather than trying to emulate a traditional DJ setup.

History

edit

DJ.Studio was founded in Friesland, Netherlands, by serial software entrepreneur Siebrand Dijkstra.[2]

Dijkstra was inspired to build DJ.Studio after becoming frustrated by the limitations of other software, and the lack of a DAW designed specifically for DJs.[2] He felt that the production of DJ mixes was still restrained by the paradigm of turntables dating back to the 1970s.

Functionality

DJ.Studio's Timeline Interface

Unlike traditional DJ software, DJ.Studio doesn't try to simulate a standard DJ hardware setup - such as a DJ mixer and pair of decks.

DJ.Studio uses a timeline-based interface, which works in a similar way to audio editing software and digital audio workstations. This gives DJs a new method for making DJ sets which is not limited by hardware and physical technique. By using a non-linear system, DJs are given the opportunity to experiment with mixes, and refine them over time.

Integrations

edit

DJ.Studio is integrated with a range of other mainstream DJ software and music services, including:
