Making sure your Djay Pro tracks work with your iPhone or iPad

To make sure your tracks in Djay Pro on macOS appear on your iPhone or iPad, you have to go through an extra step before syncing.

The following worked in our testing but your milage may vary.

The important extra step is to drag your tracks into Djay Pro before syncing. That way Djay creates the tracks in it's database instead of Lexicon. Djay makes sure the tracks work with iCloud so they appear on your iPhone/iPad.

Here are the exact steps:

1. Use Lexicon like you always would
2. Add your tracks to Djay yourself. Drag them in right from Finder, or add their folder in Djay's My Files. To make it easier, enable the Drag out of Lexicon setting so you can drag tracks straight from your playlists into Djay.
3. Only after the tracks are already in Djay (but empty without cues etc), you should run the Sync.
4. During the sync, Lexicon updates the tracks in Djay with your cues and everything.

After that, your tracks should appear on your iPhone/iPad like they normally would. Of course, it works with iCloud so that has to be enabled.

What iCloud syncs

Djay's iCloud sync shares your track data like cue points between your devices. Playlists and beatgrids are not synced by Djay's iCloud. Lexicon writes your playlists to Djay on your Mac only, so they won't appear on your iPhone or iPad.
