Requirements
You need to have the following installed:
VirtualDJ needs to be started at least once.
You need an active Lexicon subscription. Basic is all you need. You can activate your subscription from inside Lexicon.
Steps
Converting from Engine DJ to VirtualDJ is very easy, just follow these steps.
Make sure Engine DJ and VirtualDJ are fully closed.
Open Lexicon.
Go to the Sync page.
- Click the
Import tracks & playlists
button at the bottom.
- Choose
Engine DJ
. Lexicon should automatically detect your Engine DJ database.
- Make sure
Full
is selected so your entire Engine DJ library is imported.
- Click
Start importing
in the bottom right corner.
Now your entire Engine DJ library will be visible in Lexicon. That was part one of the process. The second part is to sync your library to VirtualDJ.
- Go to the Sync page again. This time we stay there and don't proceed to the import page.
- Choose
VirtualDJ
. Lexicon should automatically detect your VirtualDJ database.
- Make sure
Full
is selected and leave the other options on their defaults.
- Click
Sync to VirtualDJ
in the bottom right corner.
After the process is complete, your Engine DJ library will be fully converted to VirtualDJ.
All your playlists are now converted to VirtualDJ. All your tracks, cues, beatgrids and other tags will all be there.
Extra
For details and conversion limitations, please see the manual.
Lexicon does a lot to minimize the limitations of each DJ app, for example, through Field Mappings.
