Are you one of the millions of users of Algoriddim’s djay 2.5 for iPad? We’re preparing a training course to help beginners to DJ using djay 2.5, and in order to make the course as useful as possible, we’d like you to tell us what you’re struggling with the most learning to DJ using djay.
Hi, Me and alot of other persons that use djay pro are very sad, that we can play music of Spotify only online. Of course its pretty nice to have at least this feature implementet, but as a DJ you often dont have internet access, we pay premium to you, so could you just give them the ability to read. Desktop & Touch. Djay Pro for Windows combines the best of both worlds, desktop and touch. Specifically leveraging the unique capabilities of the Microsoft Surface lineup and modern Windows computers, djay Pro seamlessly leverages all available input methods such as keyboard, mouse, touch, pen, MIDI controllers, and the new Surface Dial to give the best possible control of all of djay Pro’s.
Maybe you can’t get your music into the software properly? You’re overwhelmed by the millions of tunes out there that you can access via Spotify and play on it? You’re struggling with beatmatching, or the key mixing functions, or playlists? Or you’re finding it hard to use the effects, or the loops? Or, perhaps you want to know how to connect everything up to DJ using the app like a “pro”? You need help with getting your headphones and speakers plugged in, knowing what accessories you need to “complete” your djay 2.5 / iPad DJ system?
Whatever it is you’re finding your biggest challenge right now on djay 2.5, we want to know! We’re going in all guns blazing on this project – we’re doing a full video training series, and we’re going to be delivering the course in an innovative, iPad-friendly format – but it all counts for nothing if we don’t hit the “pain points” and solve your problems. What’s more, we’re going to pick our ten favourite replies to this post and give you all a free copy of the course when it’s finished – plus, we’ll try and help you “here and now” by answering you directly below – so it’s a win-win…
So, over to you: If you have djay 2.5 on your iPad, and you’re trying to learn the basics of DJing on it (or you’re already a DJ just trying to get to grips with iPad DJing), let us know where you need help the most in the comments below!

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.”
Digital DJ Tips says:
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).
How To Use Djay By Algoriddim Using
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.
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.
