Your first mix doesn't need to be complicated

Press Start First Mix and PixelDJ puts two practice songs on the decks. Then it lights one control at a time and waits for you to press it. These are its real steps, on the real console.

After that, add your own songs from My Music and mix them the same way.

Enjoy music your way

From a first try on your own to a small party with friends.

  • Try DJing for the first time

    First Mix walks you through mixing two practice songs on the real console, one key at a time.

  • Mix your favorite songs

    Add the MP3, WAV and FLAC songs on your computer. Sync lines up their beats, and the crossfader takes you from one to the next.

  • Play music at home

    Mix on your laptop's own speakers, or pick a Bluetooth speaker at the top of PixelDJ.

  • Keep a small party going

    Party Check looks over your speaker, battery and sleep settings before people arrive. Auto DJ blends each song into the next when you'd rather dance.

  • Play with sound effects

    Add echoes, filter sweeps and backspins with ten Retro FX, and play sounds of your own on the pads.

  • Play instruments over the music

    Press F2 for a ten piece drum kit, or play eight instruments that stay in key with the song.

Beginner and Advanced

PixelDJ opens in Beginner, with just what a mix needs on each deck. Advanced adds more controls when you want them. The keys and the sound are the same in both, and you can switch any time along the bottom of PixelDJ.
Deck A in Beginner, playing Neon Run, with its wheel, Pause and Sync

Beginner

Each deck has its wheel, Play and Sync. With the crossfader and the pads, that's all a mix needs, and it's what PixelDJ opens in.

Advanced

Adds Cue, Preview for your headphones, and each deck's Echo, Reverb, Filter and Bass, with settings for the Retro FX too.

You mix, or Auto DJ does

PixelDJ is made for mixing yourself. When you'd rather dance, it keeps the music going.

You're the DJ

Start each song, match the beats with Sync, and slide the crossfader when it feels right. Every mix is yours.

Auto DJ

PixelDJ plays through your music and blends each song slowly into the next, lining up the beats when it can. Touch the crossfader and you're back in control.

Questions people ask

More answers on the support page.

Do I need a DJ controller?

No. PixelDJ is played with your laptop keyboard. Every control has a key, and you can click them too.

Do I need DJ experience?

No. The first time PixelDJ opens, Start First Mix puts two practice songs on the decks and lights each control as you need it. Nothing happens until you press the key yourself.

Once you've had a go, Mix Next can do a smooth mix into the other song for you, and Auto DJ can keep the music going.

Can I use songs from my computer?

Yes. PixelDJ plays MP3, WAV and FLAC files up to 20 minutes long. Find Music on This Computer looks through your Music, Downloads and Desktop folders, or you can pick folders and songs yourself.

Songs in Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming apps are protected and only play inside those apps, so PixelDJ can't use them.

Is PixelDJ free?

Try it free for 14 days, with no credit card. Then it's $4.99/month or $19.99/year. Both are the entire app, and so is the trial.

Nothing is charged when the trial ends. The pricing page has the rest.

What happens after the trial?

A song that's playing plays on, and pausing still works. Starting something new asks if you'd like to keep PixelDJ. Your music, recordings and beats all stay on your computer either way.

Can I use PixelDJ for a house party?

Yes, for a party at home. Plug your laptop into a speaker or pick a Bluetooth speaker, and press Party Check before people arrive. It looks over your speaker, your songs, your battery and your sleep settings. Auto DJ keeps the music going when you'd rather dance.

Bluetooth plays everything about a fifth of a second late, so pads and drums feel tighter on a speaker with a cable.

What's the difference between Beginner and Advanced?

Beginner keeps each deck to its wheel, Play and Sync, which with the crossfader and the pads is all a mix needs. Advanced adds Cue, headphone Preview, each deck's Echo, Reverb, Filter and Bass, and the Retro FX settings. The keys and the sound are the same in both, and you can switch any time along the bottom of PixelDJ.

What computers does PixelDJ run on?

Laptops and desktops with Windows 10 and 11, from the Microsoft Store. There's no Mac OS version, and PixelDJ doesn't run on phones or tablets.

Does PixelDJ need the internet?

Only now and then. It goes online to start your free trial and to check your subscription, and plays offline in between. Your music stays on your computer, and PixelDJ plays it there.

Ready for your first mix?

Two practice songs come with PixelDJ, so you can start mixing the moment it opens.
