Filtering

Filtering helps you focus your library on exactly the tracks that fit the moment you're planning for. Ora DJ's Smart Filter matches your library against a reference track, the one you have selected or loaded on the master deck, so the tracks that surface are the ones that will actually blend with it.

Filter options

• BPM range: show tracks within a tempo window.
• Key: show tracks in a specific key or harmonically compatible keys.
• Tags: show tracks matching one or more tags.
• Genre: filter by genre metadata.

Combining filters

Filters stack. For example, set a BPM range of 122–126 and a compatible key to find tracks that will blend smoothly with the one you're mixing out of.

Save as dynamic playlist

When at least one filter is active, the filter dropdown shows a Save as dynamic playlist action next to Clear all filters. It opens the dynamic playlist editor pre-filled with rules that match your current filters: key, genre, BPM, energy, rating, release year, date added, play count, and tags all carry over. Review the rules and save to create a playlist that updates itself as your library changes.

The free-text search box is not carried over, since dynamic playlists match on track metadata rather than a search query.

For combinations such as Techno OR (House AND a rating of at least 4), use grouped AND and OR rules in the playlist editor. Its tag picker also lets you browse categories and search before selecting tags.

Imported smart playlists

Supported Rekordbox smart playlists become dynamic playlists whose rules use your whole Ora DJ library. They are not limited to the tracks that matched in Rekordbox at import time. See the playlist import rules.
