Six Lexicon features that quietly save prep time — the kind you scroll past in Settings until someone points them out. Everything here is in the current build, and menu paths are included so you can go straight to it.

Find your next track with Mixable Tracks

Right-click any track and choose Track tools → Find mixable tracks, and Lexicon hands you a list of tracks that actually mix with the one you picked. The real power is in the mix rules, where you decide exactly what the results should look like — constrain by BPM, key, color, genre, energy, danceability, popularity or rating, or lean on custom tags for total control. It's the successor to Similar Tracks from Rekordcloud, and because it runs live you can fire it mid-set to line up your next track while the current one is still playing.

Stop hand-placing cues on unprepped tracks

In Settings → Automatic Actions, switch on Auto Generate Cues on Play. Any track you load that has no cues gets cue points generated automatically from your current generator template — no more dropping a fresh download into dead air while you scramble to set a cue. One caveat worth knowing: the option is ignored if you have Custom Cue Anchors enabled, so it's aimed squarely at tracks that arrive with no cues yet.

Clean up duplicates by audio, not just tags

Find Duplicates scans two ways: by audio signature — so re-tagged or renamed copies still match — and by artist/title. Lexicon then intelligently pre-selects which copy to keep, giving priority to higher-bitrate files, and if an exact audio match has a lower-bitrate copy carrying more cue points, it weighs that in too. If messy metadata is stopping near-duplicates from matching, run Smart Fixes first to clean up your titles and artists, then rescan.

Fix missing files with Find Lost Tracks

Move files around or rename a folder and those tracks show up as missing. Right-click them to Relocate, or run Find Lost Tracks from the top menu bar under Utility to have Lexicon hunt down where they went. Sorting this out in Lexicon first — before you sync — keeps your paths intact across every DJ app you export to, instead of leaving broken links scattered across each one.

Send cues to the right bank in Rekordbox

Rekordbox is the only DJ app with memory cues; everything else, Lexicon included, just has hot cues. When you sync to Rekordbox, set the Cue Destination — pick Only hot cues, Only memory cues, or Both — so your cues land in the bank you actually use. Coming the other way, setting the destination to Both on import pulls in your hot and memory cues so nothing gets left behind.

Keep your cue colors when converting

Lexicon has far more colors than most DJ apps, so a straight conversion can quietly drop any color your target app doesn't support. Turn on nearest matching color when syncing and Lexicon maps each color to the closest one the app supports — orange becomes red in an app that has no orange, rather than vanishing. Leave it off and unsupported colors are stripped to no color, so it's worth flipping on before your first export.
