How to check a WAV before taking it to the DJ booth

Check the format of your edit, prepare a copy on USB and test playback on the DJ equipment you will use at the event.

The editor interface is in Spanish for now. Button names appear in Spanish, followed by their meaning in English.

Confirm the model you will play on

Ask which player will be there and look up in its manual both the audio format and the file system it reads over USB. A QuickEdit web mix downloads as 24-bit, 48 kHz stereo PCM WAV. For example, the CDJ-3000X manual lists 24-bit, 48 kHz WAV among its supported formats. Use the manual of the model you will actually use to decide whether your file fits. CDJ-3000X manual, pages 12 and 13.

Copy the edit to the event media

If you edited on your phone, find the download and transfer it as a file to your computer. Check the name and the length on the computer before copying it to a compatible USB drive. For a reception entrance, for example, save reception-entrance-v3.wav and note “starts on the first beat, lasts 38 s” in the running order.

Play it from that drive

Load the file on the player the DJ will use. Listen to the start, the loudest passage and the end. If the player sees the drive but rejects the WAV, try another file you know works on the same drive and compare the formats. If it does not recognise the drive, check the supported file system and try media you have already tested. Keep a second copy of the edit with the same name and confirm at the soundcheck which one you will use.
