DJ.Studio 5.0 labels track sections and adds Smart Beatgrid
The DJ DAW now finds intros, verses and choruses on its own and widens support for rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, Engine DJ and more.
DJ.Studio 5.0 now reads the structure of every track you load, Gearnews reported. The new Phrase Detection feature finds and labels sections such as introduction, verse and chorus, so transitions can be planned around where phrases start.
The pitch is about timing, not just tempo and key. “The start of a phrase is where your cue point belongs, and DJ.Studio 5.0 now shows you exactly where that is, at a glance,” says Siebrand Dijkstra, the company’s CEO. “It’s still your mix, just without the guesswork.”
Smart Beatgrid is also new, and it suits human-recorded songs with wavering tempos. The core has been rewritten for faster, lighter performance.
Version 5.0 widens compatibility with rekordbox, Serato DJ Pro, Traktor, Engine DJ, djay Pro, VirtualDJ and Mixed In Key, and adds full MixMeister support. The release also brings built-in stem separation, up to 10 sample lanes, direct voice-over recording through the updated Input Lane, and a redesigned interface.
DJ.Studio 5.0 is out now for Windows and macOS. It costs $29 a month for the Pro+Stems subscription, or you can buy a one-time perpetual license. It is available from Thomann.
