The ideal solution for DJs who prefer playing pre-edited audio files when mixing live would involve routing track audio from DJ Studio directly to Ableton's utility, rather than how it is applied now: to track volume control (in Ableton's mixer).
The reason I suggest this is that** mixer automations in Ableton aren't flattened **when frozen, and flattening/freezing is the fastest way to create multiple audio files with the effects applied from DJ Studio.

This routing method would be especially beneficial for those who use Ableton for DJing. -
In my experience, Ableton DJs often prefer having individual control over their track volumes. Once a midi knob routed to track volume is moved - automations are turned off and need to be re-enabled.
By routing track volume from DJ Studio to Ableton's utility, DJs on all platforms can utilize Freezing tracks in 'Vertical Output' in Ableton. This allows for all edits made in DJ studio to be consolidated to a new audio file - said files would be found in C://... /AbletonProject/Samples/Processed/Freeze
In essence, this update would significantly enhance the usability of DJ Studio for a specific group of users, balancing the needs of production and live DJing in a more ### integrated and efficient manner.
