Saved as you play
The file is written every second and stays valid. If your Mac or your DJ software crashes, everything up to that moment is kept.
Record my set
Every set you play, recorded by itself. It starts with your first sound, saves when the music stops and writes the tracklist for you. Then turn your best moment into a clip for your socials.

Press Start. Play. That's it.
Record my set runs next to your DJ software and takes care of the recording, so you can take care of the floor.
Hands-free
It starts with your first sound
Press Start before the doors open and forget it. The recording begins with your first note, not before. When the music stops for a few minutes (you choose: 1 to 10, or never), your set is saved and the app waits for the next one. Back-to-back sets come out as separate files, and your Mac stays awake all night.
Tracklist
The tracklist writes itself
With VirtualDJ, every track shows up with the minute it started, straight from VirtualDJ's own history. Tracks you loaded and skipped within 30 seconds are left out. Copy it for Mixcloud, YouTube or SoundCloud in one click: it is saved next to the recording too. On any other DJ app, press Space when a new track starts.
Clips
Your best moment, ready to post
Click a track or drag across the waveform, nudge the handles, listen, export. MP3 320, M4A 256 or the WAV itself, for a Reel, a TikTok, a Short or a story. No audio editor needed.
Every sample
Recorded straight from Core Audio, the Mac's own sound system: no clicks, no gaps, no set that comes out rushed or short.
All night long
Long nights split by themselves before the 4 GB WAV limit, about 6 hours a file. Open any old recording again, with its waveform and tracklist.
Why not just press Record
in your DJ software?
You can. Until the night you forget, the software crashes, or you spend an hour finding the one minute worth posting.
| What you need | Record my set | The Record button in your DJ app |
|---|---|---|
| Starting | Starts by itself with your first sound | Only if you remember to press it |
| Stopping | Saves after the silence you choose, then waits for the next set | Runs until you stop it |
| If the software crashes | Your recording is in its own app, saved as you play | The recording can go down with it |
| Tracklist | Every track with its start time, skipped ones left out, one click to copy | Depends on the app, often an export to dig out |
| Clips | Any moment exported in two clicks | Back to an audio editor |
| Your gear | Any DJ app, controller or mixer: one recorder for all | Only what that one app plays |
| Old sets | Open any recording again with its waveform and tracklist | A file somewhere in a folder |
The other ways to record a set
Good tools, made for other jobs.
Audio Hijack
$69 · macOS 14.4 or later
Rogue Amoeba's pro recorder captures any app on a Mac. Powerful, but built for every kind of audio, not for DJ sets: no tracklist, and cutting a clip takes another app.
QuickTime or Audacity
Free
Fine for a quick take. You start and stop them by hand, they still need BlackHole to hear your DJ software, and you write the tracklist yourself.
A recorder on your mixer
A box to buy
A Zoom or a Tascam on the mixer's record output works with any gear. It's one more box to power and bring home, and it can't tell what you played.
Works with your setup
Set it up once, then just press Start.
VirtualDJ
One click: Set up VirtualDJ adds the recording line to every audio setup, including the one VirtualDJ switches to when you plug in your controller. The tracklist comes with it.
Other DJ apps
rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, djay, Engine DJ: send their sound to BlackHole, the free virtual cable, with a Multi-Output Device when they play through your Mac. Press Space to mark each track.
Decks, mixer or controller
Plug an audio interface into your mixer's record or booth output, or pick your controller if it sends its master over USB. CDJs and turntables too.

- Is my set uploaded anywhere?
- No. Everything stays on your Mac: no account, no cloud, no internet needed.
- Can I try it before I pay?
- Yes. Press Request a demo at the top of this page: we get in touch and set up the demo app with you, then you decide.
- Is it really one payment?
- Yes. €12.99 once, and the app is yours to use for life. No subscription, no account.
- Why on request?
- For now we send every copy ourselves. Leave your email and we answer as soon as we can.
- Is there a Windows version?
- Not yet. Record my set is a Mac app for now.
- Can I post my sets?
- Your mix is yours, the tracks in it belong to their artists. Mixcloud is licensed for DJ mixes and other platforms have their own rules: we went through them in How to record your DJ sets and post them without takedowns. Streaming services don't allow recording their tracks, so record the sets you play from your own files.
