There is no record button when you use the Spotify library in djay Pro. I am wondering if anyone can help? I have a MacBook Pro and I have a WeGO Controller.”

This often baffles DJs when trying to record a mix they’re performing using music from Spotify in djay Pro (or other streaming services in other software, the other big one being Pulselocker in Serato DJ or the same service in Rekordbox DJ).
While DJ software nowadays is starting to incorporate streaming services, the issue is that the licences under which they are permitted to use music from streaming services forbid the recording of those performances.
The Djay app is a good example as it allows you to mix every track on Spotify with the help of virtual mixing decks. It also comes with a function called “Automix AI” that might be useful if you’re looking to just forego the duties of DJing and just want a crude DJ mix for a party. Dec 12, 2017 Djay Pro 2 comes with AI that can mix songs together for you. It will select the next song from your library that will best match with what’s currently playing, slowly fade over once it. Jan 14, 2019 There are now seven different modes available in djay Pro: Classic, Automix, 2 Decks, Looper, 4 Decks, Single and Video. Classic mode gives you the “two turntables and a mixer” graphic interface that’s been a staple of the djay app since its inception. Automix lets you pick songs for djay to mix automatically. Mix music, remix your favorite songs, make great mixes with this free DJ mixer. Mix hits on the turntables whether you’re a pro DJ or a starter. Introducing djay FREE - the award-winning DJ app is now on Android! Djay transforms your Android device into a full–featured DJ system. Seamlessly integrated with your music library, djay gives you direct access to mix and remix your favorite. For those that have Djay Pro 2 and aren't Dj's, I notice that all of the. Start a mix with Djay choosing songs from Spotify with it's Match engine. The isolated vocals in the beginning of the song are ideal for practicing various types of transitions, possibly by simply varying the mid or by implementing a filter, and when you're just messing around with this track, the whole track is good for getting to grips with how a general track is pieced together.

It’s something that we can see not being a restriction at some point in the future when streaming services become the mainstream and owning music becomes an oddity, but for now, it’s there in the small print – which is why the buttons aren’t enabled. And while there are convoluted ways around it, it is currently illegal to do so.
