How to Rebuild a DJ Edit With Different Settings

To rebuild a Club Ready Music DJ edit with different settings, press Change settings & rebuild in the result panel: the DJ Edit page reopens the grid, intro and outro and Redrum steps with the same song already uploaded, so you change what you want and press Build the DJ edit again. No re-upload is needed, and every setting is open, from BPM and First beat (ms) through Intro bars, Outro bars and the bass toggle to Redrum, Shift tempo to and Volume level. Change one thing per rebuild and compare with the Intro, Drop in and Outro buttons, and you will usually land on the right edit in two or three passes.

Steps

1. Audition the current edit and name the problem

Before you rebuild, use the result panel to work out exactly what is wrong. Press Intro and listen to whether the loop is too long, too short or too thin. Press Drop in and listen for a flam or a doubled kick on the crossfade. Press Outro and check whether the vocal fade and drum tail feel right. Read the chips: BPM, length, INTRO n, OUTRO n, REDRUM mode and LUFS tell you what the edit was built with.

2. Download the version you have

If the current edit is usable, press MP3 320 or WAV and save it before you rebuild, so you can compare the two in your DJ software. Copy link keeps the Club Ready Music share URL for the current build. This takes a few seconds and means you never lose a good version while chasing a better one.

3. Press Change settings & rebuild

The button sits in Club Ready Music's result panel next to the download buttons. It reopens the settings steps with the same song and your previous values filled in. Do not use Start over with another song for this; that link is for a different file and sends you back to the drop zone.

4. Separate grid fixes from taste changes

Decide whether the change is a correction or a preference. Grid fixes, meaning the BPM field and First beat (ms), affect every other setting, so make them alone first and confirm with ▶ 4 bars. Taste changes, such as Intro bars 16 to 32, the Bass joins in the second half of the intro toggle, Redrum mode or Strength, Shift tempo to and Volume level, are safe to combine once the grid is right.

5. Change one thing at a time

If you alter the intro length, the Redrum Strength and the loudness in a single rebuild, you cannot tell which change made the difference. Pick the one with the biggest expected effect, build, listen, then make the next change. A rebuild costs about 2 minutes for a 4-minute song, so three focused passes still fit inside ten minutes.

6. Build and compare

Press Build the DJ edit. The status moves through Queued, Separating and Mixing to Ready. Club Ready Music's worker handles a few edits per step every few seconds, so a busy queue adds a short wait. When the new edit is Ready, press Intro, Drop in and Outro again and compare against the file you downloaded in step 2. The chips should show your new INTRO, OUTRO, REDRUM and LUFS values.

7. Keep the winner

Download the MP3 320 and WAV of the version you prefer and copy its share link. Your edits appear under Recent edits and in the Crate, where sorting by BPM or key helps you find them later. Once you have a pair of settings that works for a genre, note it, because the next upload in that style needs only one build.

Tips

• Rebuild for grid errors first and taste second. A perfect intro length on a late first beat still flams at Drop in.
• Use rebuilds to make two versions of one song on purpose: a club version at −8 LUFS with Intro bars 16 and Outro bars 32, and a streaming version at −14 with Intro bars None and Outro bars 16.
• Try Redrum changes with the Strength slider in steps of 20. Smaller steps are hard to hear across a two-minute build cycle.
• If a build fails, the fix is often a rebuild with no changes at all. Wait a minute and press Build the DJ edit again.
• Only the song stays on the server between rebuilds; each build is a fresh render, so give it the full two minutes before judging the status.

Common problems

• The rebuild sounds identical. You changed a setting that the edit does not use in that configuration, such as the bass toggle with Intro bars None, or Strength with Redrum Off.
• The rebuild is stuck on Queued. The worker processes a few edits at a time. Wait; it will move to Separating within a minute or two.
• I lost the earlier version I liked. Download MP3 320 or WAV before each rebuild. Check Recent edits and the Crate for builds you already made.
• The chips still show the old values. You are looking at the earlier result. Wait for the new build to reach Ready; the panel then updates with the new INTRO, OUTRO, REDRUM and LUFS chips.
