There is no record button when you use the Spotify library in djay Pro. I am wondering if anyone can help? I have a MacBook Pro and I have a WeGO Controller.”

Cue buttons are screwy since Djay doesn't allow mapping for toggled buttons AFAIK. Cue 1 and Cue 2 set Cue 1 and Cue 2, Shift + Cue 1 and Shift + Cue 2 clear them, Cue 3 goes to Cue 1, Cue 4 goes to Cue 2.

This often baffles DJs when trying to record a mix they’re performing using music from Spotify in djay Pro (or other streaming services in other software, the other big one being Pulselocker in Serato DJ or the same service in Rekordbox DJ).

While DJ software nowadays is starting to incorporate streaming services, the issue is that the licences under which they are permitted to use music from streaming services forbid the recording of those performances.

It’s something that we can see not being a restriction at some point in the future when streaming services become the mainstream and owning music becomes an oddity, but for now, it’s there in the small print – which is why the buttons aren’t enabled. And while there are convoluted ways around it, it is currently illegal to do so.
