Looks cool. I can see this being used for folks who have a preset mix that they want thick off. Its track handling looks really slick.

Yes we are very proud about the track handling and there is much more coming soon.

I checked out your site a bit. If I am behind a rapper and need to hit cue points based on his flow, can I use the tempo key and energy features to find matching samples from my collection and create transitions, but manually hit the cues on the next bar? Will transitions work if I go back to an earlier cue or jump ahead?

Yes, transitions are "fixed" but keep working, also if you jump around.Michael L wrote: Sat Sep 16, 2023 3:01 am I checked out your site a bit.

Music-wise, DJ Studio is a pretty impressive piece of software for DJs and music producers alike, which has gained a lot of praise via music media in recent months.
However, the software and the developer are not without their faults currently - and to the point where I imagine it will turn many potential customers away.
Perhaps the quickest way to sum up the benefits of this software for music producers is via the video below from the cheesily-named but reasonably-popular YT music channel called 'EDM TIps' (which I know will have some of you gnashing your teeth!), where the presenter comments about the decent stem separation, warping / tempo matching, AI auto-mixing and other functions of this psuedo-DAW:
However, as found by both that YT commenter and me, currently the layout of the software / pseudo DAW is impossible to change in terms of moving GUI layout sections around (or reducing / expanding them, as you can easily do with most DAWs), which results in GUI space taken up pointlessly at the detriment of likely user preferences.
TBF, the company appears to update its product pretty regularly in recent weeks / months, so hopefully this GUI layout criticism will be addressed shortly.
Much more annoyingly (to the point where many potential customers might refuse to buy the software), the Dutch company behind DJ Studio only offer you the chance to login to your new DJ Studio account (created either whilst demoing the product, or after buying and activating it) via a linked sign-in with any of your Google, Facebook, Hotmail or Apple accounts.
The company claims that this method is the 'most secure' option for customers and themselves, as no passwords are stored via their own company.
However, frankly, it seems like just a blatant data grab of users' data information as when you link your Google account (as I have done for a demo version), then you are immediately met by a warning error from Hotmail / Google etc that you HAVE to allow access for the DJ Studio to access all your data stored on your Hotmail / Google etc account!
What is the justification for this?
This is very unusual compared to more than 95% of other music software products on the market (which might give you an option to link your social media accounts, but they also allow you to instead / in addition create your own accounts via their company websites).
More to the point, how on earth can the company justify their data GDPR obligations under EU law, which require data to only be held in a RELEVANT, timely and transparent fashion (or deleted ASAP)?
This is only a music software app which aims to help people to mix / blend songs together, is it not?
Lastly, as per this help section on the company website:
https://help.dj.studio/en/collections/5 ... tall-setup
If you wish to delete your DJ Studio account (linked to one of your Hotmail / Google accounts etc), the company states on the above webpage that if you send a request to their stated email account (help@dj.studio), they will comply.
But in terms of my experience of trying to cancel my Gmail-linked DJ Studio demo account, company reps have sent about 6 advertising / tutorial emails regarding their software during the past 2 days to my Gmail account, but they are yet to reply to my requests (sent to their correct email address) to cancel my account during this same timeframe.
As such, the DJ Studio software operates in a fairly impressive manner currently (July 2024), and hopefully will improve further in the future.
But it's fair to say that I'm more impressed with the software than the company at this point.

Hi @dark water,
Thank you for your feedback and awesome that you are impressed with our software.
1. GUI
You are correct that DJ.studio currently doesn't offer options yet to customize your GUI. We started our development with a fixed layout and it's a tedious task to change the base of a software program to become customizable. We haven't started the work for that yet, but we know that we will have to invest time in that at some point.
2. Safe way of creating accounts at DJ.Studio:
Your login credentials can't be hacked, because we don't have them! That's really safe!
You write that we " grab of users' data information when you link your Google account (as I have done for a demo version), then you are immediately met by a warning error from Hotmail / Google etc that you HAVE to allow access for the DJ Studio to access all your data stored on your Hotmail / Google etc account!"
When you create an account at DJ.Studio with for example your Google account, you will see this message
"To continue, Google will share your name, email address, language preference, and profile picture with DJ.Studio. Before using this app, you can review DJ.Studio’s privacy policy and terms of service."
You say that we request access to all data stored on your Google account, but we only ask for these 4 items.
It's really weird that you got a warning that asks you to share "all your data stored on your Hotmail / Google etc account".
>> We would really appreciate it if you could send a screenshot of the screen that you saw to support@dj.studio so we can take a look at what is happening.
Just to be very clear: we are compliant with GDRP obligations and are not gathering data that is violating those rules.
3. Account deletion requests
We process account deletion requests every few weeks. We will delete your account next week. If you don't want to receive any more emails from us, you can also click Unsubscribe at the bottom of one of the emails that we send.
We would love to get a screenshot of the warning you saw about gathering all data, and we hope that this response will soothe your impression of our company.
