Your library and your DJ software

Take your tracks to Engine DJ

You play on Denon gear and want what you prepare in Surco to show up in your Engine DJ library, with its artwork and in a playlist.

It works on Mac and Windows.

Settings, just once

Open Surco's Settings (⌘ , on Mac) and find each option by its name.

  • SettingsOutputWhere converted tracks goEngine DJ

    Just below you pick your library and the playlist the tracks go into, called “Surco” unless you change it.

  • SettingsOutputEngine DJ libraryUpdate the Engine DJ library when convertingOnOptional

    If you convert a track that's already in Engine, it stays the same track, with its playlists and cue points.

Then, each time

  1. 1

    Close Engine DJ

    Surco doesn't write to the library while Engine is open, and it offers to close it.

  2. 2

    Drag the tracks into Surco

    The ones you want in Engine.

  3. 3

    Click “Convert”

    The button says “+ Engine DJ”. Each track goes into your library and into the playlist.

  4. 4

    Open Engine DJ

    The first time you load each track, Engine analyzes it.

  • Details, rating and artwork reach Engine.
  • Cue points and beatgrid don't. Engine works them out when you load the track.
  • Before writing, Surco keeps a backup of the library.
