YOUR FIRST MIX WITH BEATSOURCE DJ
Making your first mix couldn’t be easier. Click the left or right arrow next to any track, and it will automatically load into the left or right deck.
Once you have two tracks ready to go, click play, and you’re off. From there, you can either click Automix to let the app mix for you (more on that below), or use the Sync button. Use the EQs, fader, and gains to blend the track, and click the Cue button to bring the track back to its original cue point, which is usually the beginning of the track.
If you’d like to find more music by the artist currently playing, you can click the track name, the artist name, the genre, or the record label, and you’ll be taken to their respective pages while you continue mixing.
CREATING A PLAYLIST
Building playlists in Beatsource DJ is quick and simple. Beatsource’s top 100 tracks, genre charts, our playlists section, and much more are all easily within reach for quick inspiration.
Hover over a track and click the + or 3 dot icon to add a track to an existing playlist or create a new one. You can also drag and drop tracks directly into any of your playlists, which are all visible in the playlist sidebar on the left-hand side of the Beatsource DJ user interface.
Your playlists built in Beatsource DJ will automatically sync to your My Library section in the Beatsource store or any of our third-party DJ platforms integrations, like Serato, rekordbox, and Traktor.
Once your playlist is ready, it’s time to try out the Automix feature.
AUTOMIX
Automix is an amazing feature that lets you whizz your way through charts and existing playlists, with tracks automatically mixed for you. You can also change the settings for the mix to suit you. Drag and drop the tracks you want to add to your own playlist while Automix takes care of the rest. This is a really great way to choose the tracks you like from a large playlist without having to keep adding tracks to the decks. Perfect for those times you need to multitask.

Beatsource DJ gives you the ability to add tracks directly to your Beatsource shopping cart. Hover over a track and click the + or 3 dot icon, then click the add to cart button. You can find your cart on the top left-hand side of the user interface. Click it to review the tracks currently in your cart and delete any tracks you don’t want by clicking the trash icon in the right hand side.
