THE REAL PROBLEM

A good crate is not automatically a good set.

BPM matching is only the start. You still need a believable energy arc, compatible keys, clean phrase changes, and enough room to make your own judgement. Setly gives you a strong draft without pretending to replace your ears.

01

Find compatible transitions

Reorders your crate around BPM distance, harmonic key fit, energy movement, variety, and your target set length.

02

Land the incoming drop

See when to start the incoming tune, where its first drop sits, and where that drop lands against the outgoing track.

03

Choose your mix-out

Audition nearby grid-snapped phrase options and ride an 8, 16, or 32-bar blend without losing your chosen entry point.

04

Follow the energy arc

Start with a genre profile, then shape the climb, reset, peak, or pressure level to suit the room.

05

Keep control by ear

Override any drop cue when you know the tune better than its metadata. Setly prepares the set; you still perform it.

06

Take it to the decks

Export the running order, detailed transition plan, and playlist files back into your DJ workflow.

THREE EASY STEPS

From candidate tunes to a set you actually want to play.

01

Export your crate

Drop in a VirtualDJ CSV, Rekordbox XML, Traktor NML, standard CSV, or M3U playlist.

02

Use analyzed grids

Rekordbox XML and Traktor NML can carry grid metadata. VirtualDJ users can add database.xml once for cached grid timing.

03

Shape and export

Pick the genre profile, audition phrase options, then export your ordered playlist and transition plan.

MADE FOR RAVE MUSIC

Different genres deserve different starting points.

Profiles set sensible defaults. You stay in control of every transition.

WHAT YOU GET

Enough structure to move faster. Enough freedom to still DJ.

DROP-AWARE TIMING

Know when to bring the next tune in.

Setly works backwards from the incoming drop. It shows the launch point, the incoming drop cue, and where that drop lands against the outgoing tune.

BPM + GRID FIT

Beat-friendly handoffs.

Compare tempo distance and use analyzed grids where your DJ software exposes them.

HARMONIC MIXING

Keys that move naturally.

Camelot-aware scoring helps avoid awkward key jumps and highlights smoother musical directions.

PHRASE + BLEND CHOICES

One transition. Multiple ways to play it.

Audition nearby 4-bar and 8-bar mix-out phrases, then choose an 8, 16, or 32-bar blend window without moving the entry point you liked.

ENERGY JOURNEY

Build, reset, peak, or hold.

Genre profiles give you a sensible starting shape while editable energy scores keep the room in your hands.

LOCAL FIRST

Your music stays yours.

No audio upload. The Windows desktop app works locally with exported metadata on your machine.

EXPORTABLE PLAN

Take the result back to your decks.

Export an ordered M3U playlist, Rekordbox XML, Traktor NML, plus a CSV transition plan with phrase options and blend lengths.

FAQ

Questions and answers.

Does Setly automatically DJ for me?

No. It handles repetitive set-prep work so you have more time for live chops, scratches, cue choices, and reading the room. You still audition transitions and make the musical decisions.

Does it upload my music?

No. The local-first planner uses exported metadata. Your audio files stay on your machine.

Which DJ software does it support?

Setly imports VirtualDJ CSV, Rekordbox XML, Traktor NML, standard CSV, and M3U playlists. It exports M3U, Rekordbox XML, Traktor NML, and a detailed transition CSV. Serato and Engine DJ workflows use the universal playlist handoff or a Rekordbox bridge where needed.

Is Setly affiliated with any DJ software brand?

No. Setly is an independent preparation tool. VirtualDJ, Rekordbox, Traktor, Serato, and Engine DJ are trademarks of their respective owners.

Will every suggested transition be perfect?

No software can hear your room or know every vocal clash. Setly helps you move faster by giving you useful options to audition.
