The app works with over 60 MIDI controllers, including Pioneer CDJ controllers.
You can also download a free trial on the company’s website. You can buy it for $49.99, but there’s a launch sale at $39.99.
And the fact that you don’t have to put together an MP3 library anymore is a huge improvement.ĭjay Pro 2 is now live on the App Store. It doesn’t feel like you’re fighting against a clunky app. Overall, I thought my mixing days were behind me, but playing with the app just feels nice. It’s a much better way to skip to the next song than crossfading. I could see this kind of technology in music playing apps as well. It’s quite impressive to see in real time and it even removes a bit of the magic behind mixing. The app analyzes the structure of a song to figure out the best intros and outros and then automagically turns the EQ and filter knobs to create a smooth transition. “We’re introducing Automix AI and we’re using a lot of artificial intelligence variables,” Product VP Michael Simmons told me. You can adjust the frequency and match photos with the beat of your songs in real time.įinally Automix mode has been overhauled and now works like magic. But even if you don’t want to spend too much time on video mixing in order to focus on the music, there’s a new PhotoBeat mode.
You can plug your computer to a TV or projector and mix with videos. Building your library is quite easy as you can split the music browser and drag and drop songs from one service to your personal library.ĭjay Pro also has a video mixing element. They can come from different sources, and this library is saved on iCloud. Now, you can build a library of songs that would work well in your DJ set. Previously, if you wanted to use multiple services, it was a pain as you needed to switch from one tab to the other. In djay Pro 2, you can add a folder with a bunch of MP3s, browse your iTunes library or browse your Spotify playlists or the entire Spotify catalog.īut even if you would rather use Spotify for everything, you just can’t find every single obscure remix on the music streaming service. But there are also a handful of major new features, starting with a DJ library. These are just the low hanging fruits that help keep djay Pro fresh. When you’re switching from one track to the other, you can choose to keep playing effects on the original track thanks to a new fade-out effect option. You can zoom to an incredibly precise level in case you want to set a cue point at the exact time. Lol, as you can probably tell, I barely know what I'm talking about but I think I know what I want.The waveforms have been improved and now look more detailed. BY EUGENE ROBINSON iTunes djay 1.2 (free, Tangerine 1.2.2b (24.95, tangerine), optional Audio Hijack Pro. I am thinking about returning the Numark and picking up a table that's more compatible w/ Djay pro & my iPad. I also see it is possible to get extra effect packs but I'm not sure I'm able to use them w/ this table as it already has the 6 dedicated effect controls.is it possible to use other effects w/ this controller? I've been trying to do some research and I see it is possible to use rolling loop can be used w/ Serato but is that only with the Pro version?
However, I have been using Serato lite and found myself really missing a few features that I was using in Djay Pro, mainly all the extra FX effects that came w/ the program plus the rolling loop bounce feature. I just picked up a Numark Mixtrack Pro FX and I do really like the design and how it feels. I have been practicing on my iPad w/ Djay Pro for a few months now.
