About CortexDJ

CortexDJ is desktop DJ software for Windows 10/11 and Apple Silicon Macs (beta). Point it at a folder of your own music and it analyzes every track on your computer (Camelot key, BPM, 1-10 energy, intro, drop and outro), then builds a beatmatched set that follows the Camelot wheel and an energy curve, and renders it to a WAV or FLAC file with a timestamped tracklist.

Simple mode asks three things: what to mix, how long, and which transition length. Advanced mode adds live decks with EQ, filter, effects, loops and hot cues, plus plain-English requests and a loudness target. A set can be played live with any control taken over mid-mix, or exported to rekordbox, Serato, VirtualDJ, Traktor, Engine DJ, Mixxx and djay.

It works offline on local files (MP3, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, M4A/AAC, OGG), reads existing Mixed In Key and Beatport tags, and does not work with streaming services. The free edition covers analysis, auto-mixing, rendering and export for home use; Pro and Lifetime add MIDI controllers, recording and live-streaming, and are required for gigs and other public use.

The makers' launch note

Why we built it

We built CortexDJ so anyone with a folder of music they own can get a finished, beatmatched set, then play it live and take over any control, or take it to rekordbox, Serato and five more DJ apps. It runs offline on your own files. The first set needs no key and no email, so you can judge it on your own music before deciding anything. Pro and Lifetime add controllers, recording and live-streaming. The Mac build is still a beta, for Apple Silicon only.
