Question 1

What is Ora DJ?

Accepted Answer

Ora DJ is a visual planning workspace for DJs. It helps you organize your music, structure set playlists in chapters, explore track relationships on a visual canvas, and rehearse ideas with your DJ controller before the gig.

Question 2

Who is Ora DJ for?

Accepted Answer

Ora is built for DJs who actively prepare their sets: club DJs, house and techno DJs, open-format DJs, bedroom DJs who want to be more intentional, and anyone with a large library who keeps playing the same recent imports instead of rediscovering their full collection.

Question 3

Do I need to replace my current DJ software?

Accepted Answer

No. Ora is designed as a planning layer alongside the tools you already use. Import your Rekordbox library, plan your sets in Ora, and keep using Rekordbox, Serato, or Traktor for live performance and export.

Question 4

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Join the public beta and import your music library — or bring your Rekordbox library directly. Ora DJ is free during public beta, and you can start building your first set immediately.

Question 5

What are Set Chapters?

Accepted Answer

Set Chapters let you break your playlist into structured sections — warm-up, groove, peak, reset, closing, or custom sections you define. Instead of one flat track list, you can see the arc of your performance and plan each section intentionally.

Question 6

What is the Visual Canvas?

Accepted Answer

The Visual Canvas lets you map your tracks spatially by energy, BPM, key, genre, mood, or custom tags. You can see how tracks relate to each other, discover clusters and transition paths, and plan alternative routes through your library — in a way that is easier to understand than a long scrolling list.

Question 7

How does library management work in Ora?

Accepted Answer

Ora gives you fast search, flexible filtering, custom tags, and visual organization designed around the way DJs think about their music. The goal is to help you rediscover tracks you forgot you had and find the right next track faster — instead of always reaching for the same recent imports.

Question 8

Can I connect my DJ controller?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Connect your DJ controller to test transitions and rehearse sections directly inside Ora. The idea is to bring the hands-on feel of performance into the planning phase, so you can feel whether a combination works before you play it live.

Question 9

Can I build multiple versions of a set?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can save different versions of a set without losing your chapter structure. Build flexible routes for different venues, timeslots, or crowd energy levels.

Question 10

Can I import my Rekordbox library?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Import your Rekordbox library to bring your existing playlists, tracks, and metadata into Ora. You can start planning immediately without rebuilding your collection from scratch. Ora works as a complementary planning layer — you do not need to stop using Rekordbox for Pioneer workflows.

Question 11

Which DJ controllers does Ora support?

Accepted Answer

Ora currently supports Pioneer DJ DDJ-400, Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4, and AlphaTheta DDJ-GRV6, with more mappings being added over time. Connect a supported controller and test transitions directly inside the planning workspace.

Question 12

Can I use Ora without a DJ controller?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The controller is an optional add-on for hands-on rehearsal. The core planning features — chapters, canvas, library management, and Rekordbox import — all work without a controller connected.

Question 13

Does Ora work on Mac and Windows?

Accepted Answer

Ora DJ is designed for desktop use. Check the latest platform support information during public beta.

Question 14

Is Ora DJ GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ora is built with GDPR compliance in mind. Your music library data and set planning data are stored securely.

Question 15

How much does Ora DJ cost?

Accepted Answer

Ora DJ is free for everyone during public beta. The full workspace is available with no track limits and no feature gates. After launch, Ora will still have a free tier. You will get advance notice, clear plan details, and founding-member pricing before anything changes.

Question 16

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

There is no paid subscription to cancel during public beta. After launch, a free tier will remain. If you choose a paid plan later, you will see the pricing before any charge applies.
