How to Download a Clip From a SoundCloud DJ Set

May 2026

You're listening to a DJ set on SoundCloud. An hour in, a track drops that you need to hear again — but the mix isn't downloadable, and you don't want the whole two-hour file. You just want that one section.

The old approach was painful: record your screen audio, or download the full track with a third-party tool and then open it in Audacity to cut the part you want. That's a lot of steps for a 90-second clip.

The faster way

SC Ripper does the whole thing in one step. Paste the SoundCloud URL, type a start and end timestamp, and it downloads and cuts the audio server-side. You get an MP3 of just the section you asked for.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Find the timestamp in the SoundCloud player

    Scrub to the part you want and note the time shown in the player. SoundCloud shows it as H:MM:SS for long mixes.

  2. 2

    Paste the URL into SC Ripper

    Copy the track URL from your browser's address bar — not the share link. Paste it into the URL field on the home page.

  3. 3

    Enter your start and end times

    Type the timestamps in H:MM:SS, MM:SS, or plain seconds. You can leave one blank if you want everything up to or from a certain point.

  4. 4

    Download or upload

    Hit Rip clip. Once it's ready you can download the MP3, or — if you connect your SoundCloud account — upload it directly as a private track.

What formats and lengths are supported?

Any publicly accessible SoundCloud track works, including long DJ sets and mixes. There's no hard cap on source length — the server just downloads what it needs and cuts out your section. The result is always an MP3.
