Jan 2025 Update - Notice Regarding YouTube Mixing in DJ.Studio​ #

We received a warning from a major record label that our YouTube video streaming implementation didn’t align with YouTube’s intended use and violated their rights.

Unfortunately we had to remove the YouTube mixing feature immediately to continue operations.

You can still create DJ mixes and mashups with your locally stored music or through integrated platforms like Beatport and Beatsource streaming services.

We’re actively exploring alternative music sources to integrate into DJ.Studio, including partnerships with SoundCloud Go+, Tidal, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and more.

Our goal is to provide you with a vast catalog of music. Thanks for your understanding and support.
