AIDJSets vs CRATELAB

AIDJSets uses AI to create DJ set orders from a user’s Rekordbox library. It arranges tracks by harmonic mixing, BPM progression and energy flow, applying Camelot wheel principles and analyzing key-change difficulty. Audio is analyzed locally with RMS energy, spectral centroid and loudness to produce energy scores from 1 to 10. The service supports more than 40 electronic music genres with genre-specific algorithms. Its desktop app reads Rekordbox playlists and metadata, supports Rekordbox 6 and 7+ database layouts, and works best when tracks are analyzed in Rekordbox. Users can combine playlists, include or exclude tracks, limit set length, reorder tracks and regenerate sets. Finished sets export as M3U8 files or import into Rekordbox as a new playlist; Beatport playlists can also be created. Audio files stay on the computer, while metadata and local paths are sent for ordering. AI processing requires internet access. Generation consumes one token per input track plus one per target-set track. Token packs cost $5.99 as a one-time purchase, $12.99, paid once or $24.99, paid once; a free plan is available.

CRATELAB is AI-powered DJ software for analyzing tracks, organizing crates, planning playlists, and syncing a cloud library. Its desktop analyzer performs local beat tracking, and the site claims tempo detection to ±0.5 BPM. It identifies keys using Camelot notation, assigns energy scores from 1 to 10, and maps intro, build, and drop sections on coloured waveforms. Mix tools include AI playlist generation, transition compatibility scoring, and an AI DJ coach for suggestions. Metadata can be exported as CSV or connected through the Sync page to Rekordbox, Serato, and Engine DJ. Audio stays on the user's computer unless sent to the cloud, while metadata syncs by default. Browsing, editing, and playback work offline, but local analysis needs internet access to verify the subscription. The Free plan is free, billed Forever, and requires sign-in. Pro is $9.99 a month, billed monthly, with 200 analysis credits per cycle; each analyzed track uses one credit and unused credits do not roll over.
