Feature Request: Transition Memory — Save & Auto-Cue Track Pairs & Autostart Track
The Problem
When I find the perfect transition between two tracks, there’s no way to save that knowledge in djay. Every time I load those tracks again, I have to remember the exact point (Track A) where I start the transition and at which point Track B starts. I know there are cue points which i can set and but quite often it makes sense to have this specific memory stored on the app.
The transition itself i would like to do on my own.
The Feature
Transition Memory — the ability to save, rate, and auto-start the transitions between track pairs.
How it would work:
-
Save a transition: I’m mixing Track A into Track B. I’ve found the perfect moment where the transition starts
Track A’s at 4:43 - the transition begins here,
Track B autostarts at 0:30.
that is basically it!djay stores:
∙ Track A cue point (e.g., 4:43) -
∙ Track B entry cue point (e.g., 0:30) - Autostart when Track A is at 4:43 -
Auto-recall: Next time Track A is playing, I open the track browser
and have a dedicated Tab for that, or integrated in MatchTracks that have saved transitions show a special indicator — maybe a link icon
When I load Track B, djay automatically sets the cue points to the saved positions. -
Auto-start when Track A reaches the saved point, Track B auto-starts at the saved entry point, already synced. The DJ still controls the crossfader. The timing is just handled.
Real-World Use Case
Here’s a concrete example from my setup:
∙ Track A: Guy J — Karma (Original Mix) | 122 BPM | 9B
∙ Track B: Guy J — No Drama (Original Mix) | 123 BPM | 9BSame key, nearly identical BPM. I have set cue points here for those 2 Tracks.
I need start the cue points exactly - so that i can switch the songs instantly - within one second. I need the perfect timing.
Honestly, i can do that easily without the requested feature.
But its a time saver on top of that.With Transition Memory, I’d load Karma, see that No Drama is a 5-star match, load it, and the cue points are already set. No Drama even auto-starts at the right moment. All I do is move the fader.
Why This Matters
For DJs who practice regularly and build deep knowledge of their library, the real skill isn’t beatmatching — djay’s sync handles that. The real skill is knowing which tracks work together and exactly where to transition. That knowledge currently lives only in the DJ’s head.
This feature would:
∙ Reduce cognitive load during performance — focus on track selection, not transition logistics
∙ Build over time — new tracks get tested against the library, only 5–10 per week, with a few logical candidates each
∙ Make the library smarter — the more you use it, the better it gets
∙ Complement existing AI featuresHow It Fits djay’s Roadmap
djay already has:
∙ Match / Related Tracks — suggests tracks by key and BPM
∙ Neural Mix — AI-powered stem separation
∙ Auto-play when triggering cue point — instant playback from cue
∙ Cue points with color coding — up to 16 per trackTransition Memory is the natural next step: take the DJ’s tested knowledge and make it persistent, recallable, and actionable.
Platform
I primarily use djay Pro AI on iPhone (iOS). This feature would be equally valuable on iPad and Mac.
