Unfortunately though, it’s in the licensing agreements software makers have with such services. This is no good for DJs who want to record their sets to listen back to and learn from, for instance – a perfectly legitimate reason to want to do so. Recording DJ mixes directly inside software is generally the “go to” method, but as you’ll see, isn’t always possible.īut what if your DJ software or system doesn’t let you record? Some DJ software has recording disabled (looking at you, Serato DJ Lite), and all DJ software disables recording when you are using a music streaming service such as TIDAL, Beatport, Beatsource or Soundcloud Go+. Same with standalone DJ systems – you can press a button to have your set recorded to your USB device, then remove the recording from your device the next time you plug it into a computer to do the same. The software records your mixing, and gives you an audio file at the end of it that you can share, upload to a service like MixCloud, listen back to for your own learning or pleasure… whatever. Recording your DJ set is usually easy if you use a controller and a laptop: you just hit “record” in your DJ software.
