Connect MixReady to djay Pro

MixReady gives djay Pro a finished set as a playlist, with cue marks where each track mixes in and out. You point djay at it once; after that, each new set is a refresh away.

Short answer. Press Write playlist for djay, then in djay point External Apps → RB Collection at the file MixReady saved. You do that once — after that, Refresh Playlists picks up each new set. Nothing needs to be closed, and your djay library is never changed.

Step by step

  1. Build the set in the MixReady desktop app, with djay Pro chosen as the Rig.
  2. On the set page, press Add to djay Pro, then Export beside Write playlist for djay. MixReady saves the playlist file and tells you where.
  3. In djay, open External Apps → RB Collection and choose that file. It's behind the stacked-layers icon in the left rail, not the Playlists panel. If it says Configure, press it, then Continue, and choose the file. djay asks for a rekordbox export — this file is one, so there's nothing to do in rekordbox. You only do this once.
  4. After a later write, press Refresh Playlists in djay.

Good to know

Nothing needs to be closed

djay can stay open the whole time.

Open djay once first

On a new install, open djay once so it sets up its library. Until then MixReady says so, rather than saving a playlist djay can't use.

Your own files only

djay can stream, but only djay itself can put streaming tracks into its playlists, so a set built for djay Pro comes from files you own.

A backup comes first

MixReady keeps a copy of the playlist file before each write. Settings → DJ software → Library backups puts an earlier one back, with djay closed.

If a track has no cue marks, add it to your djay library, then write the playlist again. The marks sit in MixReady's playlist, so nothing you've set in djay changes.

Questions

Does MixReady change my djay library?

No. djay reads the playlist from the file MixReady saves, the same way it reads playlists from other DJ software. Your djay library is never changed.

Where do I point djay at the file?

External Apps → RB Collection, behind the stacked-layers icon in djay's left rail — not the Playlists panel. You only do this once; after a later write, press Refresh Playlists.

Can streaming tracks go in?

No. djay can stream, but only djay itself can put streaming tracks into its playlists, so a set built for djay Pro comes from files you own.
