How MyTools Helps You as a Wedding DJ
A catalogue of the side tasks around a wedding DJ gig, each solved by a free in-browser MyTools tool: editing tracks, prepping promo clips, and handling contracts.
Being a wedding DJ is mostly reading a room. Knowing when to pull the tempo up because the dance floor is thinning, when to let a slow one breathe, when the best man's speech has run long and the couple needs rescuing with the first track everyone knows. You feel it in real time, and when you get it right nobody notices you at all. That is the job.
The rest of it happens on a laptop days before anyone hears a beat. The couple sends "their song" as a shaky phone recording. The venue emails a vendor form as a PDF. The first-dance track needs the two-minute instrumental intro cut off. A promo clip from last Saturday's reception should be thirty seconds and vertical, not two minutes and sideways. Contracts, invoices, timelines, all in different files, all needing to look professional before they land in a stranger's inbox.
Below are fifteen of those side tasks, each with the free MyTools tool that handles it in your browser. No installation, no account, no plugin for your DJ software.
The First-Dance Edit
The couple picked a four-minute ballad, but they want to dance to the last two minutes, from the key change onward. Standing on a floor for four minutes is a long time when a hundred people are watching, and they told you so at the planning meeting.
Trim Audio gives you two handles on a waveform. Drag the start handle to the key change, drag the end handle to the final chord, and download the edit. You are not re-encoding the whole song or loading a full DAW for one cut. The trimmed MP3 drops straight into your set.
The Song They Recorded on a Phone
Sometimes the track the couple wants is not on any streaming service. It is a voice memo of a song from their first date, or a live recording a friend captured, and it arrives so quiet you can barely hear it over the room tone.
Boost Audio Volume pushes it up by the decibels you choose with a brick-wall limiter holding the peaks. That last part matters: you can add nine decibels to a quiet file and it plays at a normal level through a PA without clipping into distortion. A quiet memory becomes something the whole room can actually hear.
The Ceremony Cues, as One File
A ceremony has three or four audio moments: the processional, the ring exchange, the recessional. Right now they live as separate files, and cueing each one by hand while the officiant is mid-sentence is how you miss the bride's entrance.
Merge audio stitches them into one continuous track in the order you set. You arrange the processional, then the signing music, then the recessional, and export a single file you can run start to finish. One press, one worry gone during the most no-second-takes part of the day.
The Track That Won't Load in Your Software
A planner sends the couple's requested song as a WAV, or an M4A straight off someone's Mac, and your library software refuses it or chokes on the format. You do not want a five-message thread about file types the week of the wedding.
Audio to MP3 converts WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG and more into the MP3 every DJ tool on earth still reads. Drop the file in, download the MP3, add it to the crate. The back-and-forth ends before it starts.
A Promo Mix for Instagram
You cut a two-minute highlight mix to show couples what your sets sound like, but Instagram and TikTok will not accept a raw MP3. Audio needs a picture to become a post.
MP3 to MP4 wraps your mix in a cover image at the resolution you pick. Use your logo, a photo of your booth, or a shot from a past reception, and you get a video ready to upload anywhere a booking lead might be scrolling. Your sound gets a face, and the platform stops refusing it.
The Dance-Floor Clip, Vertical for Reels
The best clip from last weekend is a packed floor during the party set, but you filmed it landscape and Reels wants a vertical frame. Posting it wide means black bars top and bottom and a video nobody stops for.
Crop Video reframes it to a 9:16 vertical, or a square if you prefer, and you drag to keep the action centred. The dancers fill the frame instead of floating in a letterbox. It is the difference between a scroll-past and a booking DM.
Your Handle on Every Frame
Your clips get screen-recorded and reposted, sometimes by other DJs, and the metadata that named you gets stripped the moment it leaves the app. The work travels without you attached to it.
Watermark Video stamps your logo or your handle onto every frame, and you drag it into a corner and set the timing and fade. When the clip gets grabbed and re-shared, your name rides along in the pixels themselves. Credit that survives a repost is credit that brings the next inquiry.
Just the Audio From a Guest's Video
A guest films a song request on their phone and sends you the video, but all you need is the track underneath so you can find and buy a clean copy. The picture is useless to you.
MP4 to MP3 pulls the soundtrack out of any clip and hands you a standalone MP3. You get the audio to identify the song, and you skip the ten-second video file entirely. One less thing sitting in your downloads folder.
The Booking-Site Headshot
Your profile photo on the booking site is a good shot, but there is too much venue behind you and your face is small in the frame. Couples browsing a dozen DJs decide in a second, and a distant face loses.
Crop Image lets you cut the wide margins and reframe tight on you, with a live preview so you see the crop before you commit. Tighten it to your shoulders and face and the thumbnail reads as a person, not a room. A better crop is a small edit with an outsized effect on who clicks.
Your Logo, Cut From Its Background
Your logo lives on a white square, which looks fine until you drop it onto a dark flyer or a coloured Instagram story and a bright box appears around it. You need it to float on any background.
Remove background cuts your logo out and hands back a clean PNG with transparency, the whole thing running in your browser. Now the same file sits on a black poster, a photo, or a story frame without a rectangle giving it away. One transparent version replaces a folder of colour-matched copies.
Event Photos, Credited Before They Travel
You post a shot of your setup at a beautiful venue, and within a week it is on someone else's page as if they staged it. Photos of your work are marketing, and unmarked marketing gets borrowed.
Watermark Image stamps your name or logo across the picture before you publish it, so the attribution travels with the file wherever it gets saved and reposted. Stamp it once and the credit is baked in. The reach stays yours even when the image wanders.
The Vendor Form the Venue Emailed
Every venue has its own vendor agreement, and it arrives as a PDF with fields for your insurance details, your load-in time, your power needs. Printing it, filling it by hand, and scanning it back is a chore you repeat for every new room you play.
Fill PDF lets you type straight onto the form in your browser and download the completed file. No printer, no scanner, no phone photo of a signature at an angle. The venue gets a clean document and you keep a tidy copy for your records.
The Contract, Locked Before It Sends
A booking contract has the couple's address, the balance owed, sometimes their deposit details. You are about to email it, and you would rather it not sit readable in every inbox and forwarded thread between here and signing.
Protect PDF adds a password before you send, so only the couple with the code can open it. You share the password once, over a call or a separate message, and the file stays shut to anyone who intercepts it. A locked contract is a small courtesy that reads as professional.
One PDF for Contract, Invoice, and Timeline
By the time a wedding is booked you are sending three documents: the signed contract, the invoice, and the reception timeline. Three attachments in one email is three chances for the couple to miss one.
Merge PDF combines them into a single file in the order you choose, so everything the couple needs opens as one clean document. Contract first, invoice next, timeline last, one attachment. Fewer files means fewer "did you also send the timeline?" replies the week of the event.
A QR Code for Song Requests
You want guests to submit requests without crowding the booth all night, or to tip without hunting for cash. A link works, but nobody types a URL off a table card.
QR Code Generator turns your request form or tip link into a code anyone can scan with a phone camera, and you download a clean PNG or SVG to drop onto a printed card for each table. Guests point, tap, and request from their seat. You keep reading the room instead of taking dictation.
Fifteen small tasks: a trimmed track, a boosted memo, a locked contract, a QR code on a table card. None of it is DJing. All of it happens in the same week as the playlist you are building and the venue walkthrough you still have to do.
With the file work living in a browser tab instead of a stack of apps you had to install and license, the hours go back where they belong. Into the crate, into the flow of the night you are planning, into the ten seconds before the first dance when you drop the needle and the room turns to watch. That is the part you signed up for.
