Who built DJ Toolkit, and what it can't do for you
DJ Toolkit is maintained by a small group of working DJs, mix engineers and bedroom producers who got tired of opening four browser tabs and a spreadsheet to plan a single transition. This page is the editorial brief — what we publish, why we publish it, and the things we explicitly will not claim our tools can do.
Editorial standards
First-hand practice. Every tool on this site is built because someone on the team actually needed it for a real mix, a real set or a real lesson. We don't ship "calculator X for niche Y" because it might rank — we ship tools that have solved a real problem for us first.
Honest limitations. Every page has a "Limitations" section that says plainly what the tool can't do. We'd rather lose a click to a more capable tool than mislead you about accuracy.
No copied content. All copy on this site is original. We don't paraphrase Wikipedia or republish vendor manuals. Where we cite a standard (e.g. EBU R128 for broadcast loudness), we link to the canonical source.
No fake authority. We don't claim certifications we don't have. We don't have a "team of expert audio engineers" — we are working DJs and producers who use these tools every week and maintain them in our spare time.
Privacy-respecting. See the Privacy Policy in the footer. We don't ask for accounts, we don't upload your inputs, we don't sell user data.

What it isn't

Found a calculation that's wrong? A visualisation that breaks on mobile? A tool you wish existed? We read every message.
Email hello@djtoolkit.example.com with the tool URL and a short description. For feature suggestions, include the workflow that prompted the request — that's the most useful signal for prioritisation.
