Hi fellows.
I was reading the I-DJ magazine and then I read about this app.
“…In true Mac form, Djay is not trying to keep numerous windows open at once, so your processing power isn’t having the life sucked out it, so yet another bonus. There’s also full MIDI integration for the Vestax VCI and VCM MIDI controllers making this software package very versatile…" "…I’m sure some people will moan that it doesn’t have auto BPM, or even a three-deck option, but for the money you won’t find better mixing software for the Mac. Although there is a basic auto mix function, you actually have to count BPMs and not rely on the computer to do it all for you, which is a breath of fresh air as far as I’m concerned. A DJ having to DJ, whatever next?! Plus, it’s nice to see a DJ package that’s not just another clone of Traktor, but instead ploughs its own furrow… iDJ”
Only 30 pounds on amazon uk, and till now some good reviews. Anyone has tried to mix on this?
If there has anything i have learnt about dj sortware is that whenever any new dj software hits the market its completely crap and need some serious maturing time.
Ok, i just checked out the site, 10 day trial…come on. No graphic wave, the program looks very simple to use 2 turntables and a mixer. Do this thing have key lock? Ill give it a try, but im not too big on installing stuff on my macbook.
i had the demo version but i was looking around online and someone posted their serial information and boom it works. but as JesC said, theres no wave graphic so you gotta play by ear which really sucks. As i said before its a very simple basic program.
Playing by ear doesn’t suck it’s actually a skill that every DJ should have . Your ears are your most important tool as a DJ and like any other tool you have if you can’t use em right they are useless .
I love to play by ear, but it has to be on 1200’s, every once in a while Ill will do a special set at a club with vinyl only, but I try to keep the sets under 2hrs. I might give the prog a shot.
I’ve messed around with Djay since it was a freeware app. It is fun to use the trackpad for a little wicki-wicki, and the automix function works well if you use an itunes playlist. It works nicely when you just want to hear a rough mix right now and play around a little bit, but the sampler and cue/loop tools are a royal pain to use. Mostly because all of those functions are on panels that can only be seen one at a time, that is you cant use the bpm tap/sync and cue points at the same time. Not the “everything at a glance” interface that Traktor has. One more thing… there’s no midi learn function as of yet.
