YOUR QUESTION:

1. I’m a wedding DJ and I use one computer to manage the events I’m doing, and I use a different laptop to perform. I need to know the most efficient way to get all of my playlists, song analyzations, cue points, etc. to the laptop. I’m coming from Serato and this was really easy. I keep my music on an external SSD. Serato puts the database with all the above info on the drive where the music is being stored. In this case it’s my SSD. Since the database is on the SSD, all I have to do is plug into another computer, and all my playlists etc. are there.

   What is the most efficient way to accomplish this with DJay Pro? I know there is a local database that can be transferred, but from what I understand that doesn’t include the song analyzation data. I really want to convert to DJay 100%, but I need an easy way to do it.

The most convenient way is to store music on an SSD. Then manually copy the DJay database folder from the laptop for pre-performance to the laptop for performance to sync playlists, cues and analysis. Of course this is not automatic like in Serato, but it is a closer workflow.

@Slak_Jaw Is Track Analysis Data still stored in a separate location? Or is it now all in the djay Media Library?
