Here's how to move your entire DJ library
from Engine DJ
to UltraMixer with all of your playlists,
beat grids,
album artwork,
track metadata, and
all of your tracks.
First, we're going to import our library
from Engine DJ
into MIXO.
You can see here we've got our entire
library in Engine with all our playlists,
tracks and metadata.
So if we head over to MIXO,
we go to the import page
and we choose Engine DJ from the list of DJ
software.
MIXO will read the entire library from
Engine DJ
and then show us a list
of all our playlists.
MIXO should automatically find our Engine
DJ library.
However,
if you've moved your library
or it's on an external hard drive,
you might need to select the Engine DJ
database file manually
using the Change File button
at the top of the import page.
You can choose to turn off Track Analysis
if you like,
although we recommend keeping it on.
Track Analysis will go through all your
tracks and get the album artwork saved in
each track,
and it will also build a waveform for every track
and
analyse the beat grid.
If you turn Track Analysis off then your
import will be a lot faster, but you won't
have artwork, waveforms or beat grids in MIXO.
But if you're just exporting your library
directly to another DJ software,
then you might not need that data.
If you'd like to start with the fresh MIXO
library, enable Mirror Mode.
Mirror Mode will completely replace your
MIXO library with the library that you're
importing,
so all your playlist and
tracks will match your engine DJ library
exactly.
If you don't have Mirror Mode on, then
MIXO will merge your import with your
existing MIXO library
to speed up the import.
Mirror Mode will analyse any new tracks in
the import
and use the previously analysed info for
tracks that were already in your library.
If you want to, you can reanalyse tracks
for your whole library or certain playlists
after the import is complete.
Once we've chosen our settings and our
database file,
then we can choose to import either the
entire library
or we can choose individual playlists.
When everything's set, hit the Start import
button and MIXO is going to begin importing
our library.
MIXO will save the tracks using info from
the Engine DJ database.
This includes all the custom metadata,
loops,
queues
and beat grids.
MIXO will then analyse the tracks for
artwork and build the waveforms.
This import may take a bit of time
depending on how many playlists we choose
and how big our library is,
so you might want to get a cup of tea
or even
leave your import overnight.
Once the import is complete, we can head
over to the library in MIXO
and you'll see all our playlists, tracks,
cue points,
loops,
and album artwork
have been imported
from Engine DJ.
We can now use MIXO as our main DJ library.
MIXO lets us edit our playlists,
import music from other DJ software,
sync our entire DJ library to the cloud,
listen to our music on all our devices,
and
export our library to other DJ software.
Now we've imported our library into MIXO.
Let's transfer everything over to UltraMixer.
Before we do anything in MIXO, let's have
a look at UltraMixer and you can see
there's nothing showing in the library.
So it's ready for us to import everything
from MIXO.
So we load up MIXO
and from the menu at the top, we click on
the export tab,
which gives us a list of all the DJ
software we can export to.
Select UltraMixer from this list
and from here we can choose to export the
entire MIXO library
or select individual playlists we'd like to
export.
Once we're ready and we've chosen the
playlist, to move to UltraMixer, simply
click Start Export.
Once the export is finished, MIXO will
confirm the export is complete
and from here we can head over to UltraMixer.
Here we go to the left hand column
and right click Add Music,
Add Playlist,
choose the folder Music MIXO exports
Ultramixer
and select all the playlists.
From here you can see the library has been
exported and is ready to use with
Ultramixer.
Now we can drag any track to the deck, play
it, and off we go.
Now we've moved our library,
let's have a look at what else we can do
with MIXO.
The first thing you'll definitely want to
do is connect your Dropbox, Google Drive,
or OneDrive
so that MIXO can sync your DJ library
across all your devices.
Once you're connected, MIXO will upload
all your tracks and playlists to your own
cloud storage,
so they're backed up in your own secure and
private cloud.
You can then download MIXO on your phone,
tablet
or any laptop or desktop
and MIXO will automatically sync all your
playlists and tracks to all your devices,
so you can edit,
access and export your music from anywhere
to any device.
You can also use MIXO to export your tracks
to USB,
ready to play in your favourite hardware.
With MIXO, you can export directly to the
REKORDBOX, USB Device Library
or Device Library Plus
to Engine DJ format
or as a Virtual DJ library.
When exporting to USB, your MIXO library
will look just like it was exported from
your DJ software, including all your
playlists,
cue points,
beat grids,
album artwork, metadata,
and more.
Export to USB is also available on the
mobile app so you can export your playlists
directly from your phone
once your library is in the cloud.
You can also play your library with CarPlay
or Android Auto in your car
so you can enjoy all your purchase music on
the go,
just like you can with Spotify, Apple Music
or your favourite streaming service.
MIXO also has a Spotify Track Matcher tool
that allows you to put together playlists
in Spotify
and then have MIXO locate the tracks from
your own collection
and save it as your own playlist in MIXO.
MIXO also comes with lots of
library management tools
such as Track Analysis,
Duplicate Finder,
Que and Key converter,
Find and Replace scanners, and all the
general playlist and track management tools
that you'd expect.
