The DJ Studio is a two-deck mixer that runs in your browser. You can mix tracks, talk on the mic, fire sound effects and go live on your station without installing any software.
Before you start
- Use Chrome or Edge on a computer for the best results. Other browsers may only be able to send uncompressed audio, which needs a fast, stable connection.
- Use headphones so your mic doesn't pick up the music.
- Allow microphone access when your browser asks.
- Keep the DJ Studio tab open while you're live. Closing it or navigating away ends your broadcast. Links on the Studio page open in a new tab for this reason.
Go live in four steps
- Open DJ Studio.
- Load a track on Deck A: click Library (your station's music) or File (a file on your computer).
- Choose the Quality (128 kbps is a good default) and press GO LIVE. The lamp turns to ON AIR and the timer starts. The AutoDJ fades out.
- Press PLAY on the deck. When you're done, press GO LIVE again to end. The AutoDJ comes back automatically.
Decks
- PLAY: play / pause. CUE: when stopped, sets the cue point; when playing, jumps back to it. RESTART: back to the start. BRAKE: slows to a stop like a turntable losing power.
- TEMPO: speed up or slow down by up to 8%. ±0 resets it. You can also drag the jog wheel sideways to nudge.
- Click the waveform to jump to that point in the track.
Mixer
- TRIM, HI, MID, LOW: input gain and EQ for each channel. Turn an EQ fully left to cut that band.
- FILTER: left for a low-pass sweep, right for a high-pass sweep.
- Channel faders and the crossfader (double-click to centre).
- AUTO MIX: when the playing deck nears its end, starts the other deck and crossfades to it, then loads a random library track on the free deck. Pick the crossfade length next to it. Press M to mix now.
- REC: records your mix to a file on your computer.
- MONITOR: hear the mix on your computer. Your own mic is never played back to you.
Microphone
- TALKOVER or MIC opens your mic. Or hold Space to talk and release to close it.
- With DUCK ticked, the music gets quieter while the mic is open.
- The MIC knob sets your mic level. Watch the MIC meter and keep it out of the red.
Effects, sound pads and imaging
- BEAT FX: echo, reverb or flanger on Deck A, Deck B, the master mix or your mic. TAP the beat to time the echo. F turns the effect on and off.
- Sound effects: pads for air horns, sirens and more. Click ? on a pad to rename it or upload your own sound. Esc stops all effects.
- Station imaging: one-click carts for your jingles. Upload them on the Jingles page.
Voice tracks (no need to go live)
Click VOICE, press Record, say your link, then click Upload & play next. The AutoDJ plays your recording after the current song. Great for pre-recorded links when you can't be live.
Shout-outs and weather
Under the GO LIVE bar, the SHOUT-OUTS ticker shows where your listeners are tuned in from right now, so you can say hello on air. If enabled, a weather strip shows current conditions and a 3-day forecast; click the location to change it for your station.
