Follow these steps in order. The app's setup takes you through the same ones.

Your gear

Pick what you DJ on. Software only

  1. Map your partner's fader, EQ and filter to a channel you're not playing on: your DJ software hears these knobs too.
  2. After you've taken over, pull your partner's fader all the way down for 10 seconds, and they're told they can stop: the same as pressing Partner mixed out.

Your software

Pick the DJ software you play with. VirtualDJ

  1. Pick VirtualDJ, under DJ software.
  2. On a Mac: to bring your partner up on a deck instead, tick the VirtualDJ box, pick a virtual audio device (such as Serato Virtual Audio) as the output, and set a deck's line input to it in VirtualDJ. The line input may need a paid VirtualDJ licence.
  3. On Windows: to bring your partner up on a deck instead, tick the VirtualDJ box, pick a virtual audio device as the output, and set a deck's line input to it in VirtualDJ. The line input may need a paid VirtualDJ licence.
  4. In VirtualDJ, open Settings: its button is in the Application Controls.
  5. In Audio Setup, click LINE INPUT. In the new line's SoundCard field, choose the virtual audio device you picked for Your partner. Click APPLY.
  6. On the deck you keep for your partner, open the Custom Buttons panel (Pro and Performance layouts), pick the Timecode & Line-In view with the View Selection button, and turn Line-In on. Your partner plays on that deck.

In a set, you'll see these buttons and messages:

  • READY · Set starts in · Handover · Accept handover · Partner mixed out · Fader up
  • You have control. Press Partner mixed out when you're in; your partner can stop their track.
  • Handover complete. Keep your track playing until your partner mixes you out.
  • Your partner has mixed you out. You can stop your track now.
  • After you've taken over, pull your partner's fader all the way down for 10 seconds, and they're told they can stop: the same as pressing Partner mixed out.
  • Your partner's fader is down. Push it up before you Accept.

Your internet

Use a wired connection if you can: an Ethernet cable from your computer to your router. Wi-Fi drops out more often, and a dropout can be heard in the set.

Upload speed: 5 Mbps or more, or quality may drop. The app checks both uploads when you link. On a slower upload, that DJ's part of their partner's recording is at the live sound's quality. If a connection slows during the set, the full-quality recording needs time to finish after you leave, up to 15 minutes; anything it can't finish by then is at the live sound's quality.

How a set sounds depends on both DJs' internet connections, which we don't control. We can't promise a connection will be good enough, so try a short set together first.
