What's new in 1.6.0

This is our biggest drop yet. Whether you’re prepping your next set, chopping up a bootleg, flipping a remix, or building a timeline mix from scratch, DropLab’s got your back.

Dynamic deck playlist

Inside the mix editor’s bottom panel, right next to your music library, you’ll now see the Decks Playlist.

You can now drag and drop songs directly into the Decks Playlist, and they’ll be added to your mix with your default transition settings and automatic BPM matching.

From there, you can reorder tracks, remove or insert new songs, and try different combinations—all without breaking your existing transitions.

And you can do all of this without ever leaving the mix editor, or even stopping playback. It’s a huge time-saver when you’re testing out new ideas and finding tracks that sound good together.

Unlimited effect blocks

Before, effect curves like EQ, volume, and filters were tied to the start and end of audio clips.

Now, effect curves are separate from audio clips and can be moved freely, or together with them. DropLab intelligently detects which audio clip each effect block belongs to, so you don’t have to constantly worry about losing sync when editing your mix.

It strikes the perfect balance between flexibility and speed when creating transitions—and makes it easy to build loop transitions, echo outs, or add effect automations mid-track.

Also, switching between different effect curves is now easier and more intuitive, right on the timeline, thanks to the new color coded controls.

Dedicated sample lanes

You can now mix on up to 4 tracks, giving you space to add sample loops, stems, voice overs and one-shots. Each lane has its own volume meter, and you can solo or mute lanes to focus on individual layers.

This gives you much more room for creative mixing and layering—especially when building more complex transitions or mashups.

Range selection

Making loops or extended edits just got way easier. You can now: select, copy, paste, split, loop, or remove sections of a track.

The resulting parts are automatically grouped, and you can move them together or independently. Perfect for extending intros and outros.

Shift mode

This one’s simple but powerful. When you loop a section, remove part of a track, or move a song around, you can hold Shift to automatically shift all downstream elements in your mix.

Just remember: hold Shift to shift everything after.

Multi-select

Last but definitely not least, multi-select is here. You can now use Shift or Ctrl / Command to select multiple items on the timeline and move them together.

But here’s the best part: you can copy and paste entire sections of your mix across different projects, and switch between project tabs with one click—so you can explore and compare different mix variations side by side, without breaking your flow.

This final feature makes DropLab feel like a true DAW, and a one-of-a-kind tool for preparing outstanding DJ sets.
