Turn your DJ set recordings into clean WAV tracks in three taps. DJ Prep converts video recordings of your sets into lossless 24-bit WAV — the format every pro DJ tool actually wants. Pull tracks straight into Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, or Engine DJ, ready for your next gig. KEY FEATURES • LOSSLESS AUDIO — 24-bit WAV at the source sample rate, no re-encoding tax. The quality your sets deserve. • BUILT-IN LOSSLESS RECORDER — iOS's native screen recorder caps audio at 128 kbps AAC.

Cut a long set into tracks, or extract just the drop. • ID3 METADATA — Title, Artist, and cover art embedded directly into each WAV. Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, and Apple Music auto-fill the metadata on import. • AI COVER GENERATION (Pro) — Type a vibe or pick a built-in style and get unique artwork for every track. Powered by Flux on Cloudflare Workers AI. • ICLOUD DRIVE SYNC — Your tracks live in your personal iCloud.
