    Thanks for the heads up. Will look into it.

    Dude -- wait for the book. So happy w/ the iPad. Although she's on my ass to get the kid one, so I might pass him this one (iPad2) and get a 3. Gotta save some duckets or sell something first.

    Meta.dj allows you to set the master tempo to whatever you like.
    Hmm... not sure if this is going to cut it then. I would only use a single deck, and it would go directly to a channel on the mixer. I would set the tempo to match whatever the 2 CDJs are running at... of course, it won't be perfect so I need something to pitch bend -- same function as the platter... but, preferably a button. I'm assuming it's more like Live where you make sure everything is synced before and then do your biness.

    Cheers.

    How I would do it is load a looptastic loop into meta.dj and then beatmatch the CDJ to the loop.

    That would work, but I'm presumably going to be doing it simultaneous to 2 CDJs. While it's possible, it's a lot harder. I'd rather avoid that if I can. Looks like Sonorasauras Rex does what I want out of the box. Might give it a shot.

    i would recommend IMachine. you can upload your own loops and set out the layout and between them but i would clean you iPod memory first and just the one app on it. iPods are like mini computers so you have treat like a computer otherwise it will crash and kick you out of the app. (happened to me before live)

    I can't tell if that one has pitch bend or not. Guess I will hunt down a video of it in action.
