Don't know if this is any good; not really familiar woth DJ apps, and the file size is tiny. Still, it's been out since 2010, and the lowest price it's ever been is 14.99...or17.99, I forgot. Supports midi input and midi mapping. There's also a free companion app by the same company, just search the company name. App info is currently processing and/or the app is not yet fully available for sale on the US App Store.
Thanks for the post, but has anyone else who's grabbed this had a problem with the app loading your music library? Right now, I've got around 900 songs on my iPod, and the app only read 12 of them... =o/ I even kept it open while I was sleeping to see if it just needed time to 'load' tracks, but when I got up, I still only had 12 songs available from my library. =o/
Not to be simplistic, but have you checked if there is anything...different about those 12 songs? More complete metadata? Located in a different folder? In (or not in) a playlist? Bitrate? Just throwing out some stuff to see if anything might stick.
Very sure. I rip all my files from cd in the same way, with the same program, with the same tagging, at the same bitrate, and have no playlists. =o/ Guess I could also add that I only have full albums on my iPod, and that the 12 songs seem to be pulled at random from my files...
Considering it was released in 2009, and this is the first time it's dropped under $15, along with the amount of reviews for it in the AppStore... I'm guessing they're doing just fine. The crazy amount of updates, and pure professional and multiuse features they have that make it one of the best virtual dj programs I've seen yet (aside from my library issues)... I wouldn't have felt ripped off in the slightest if I bought this. Especially if I still had my old tables...
Still, if one has that kind of money to burn wouldn't a good DJ program for PC be a better option? (Not criticizing the fact that you wouldn't feel ripped off) Guess I'm just surprised that anyone would pay nearly $50 for a phone app, much less that that price was/is financially viable on the race-to-the-bottom AppStore.
Guess it depends on what you need it for and what your setup is. I know plenty of DJs who have purchased iPads because of programs available and being fed up with their laptops, as well as DJs who ditched their iPads for laptops... All comes down to preference, but having a windows based laptop limits you for sure... I know I haven't seen anything that comes close to this for windows for any sort of reasonable price... While my DJ friends with Mac laptops seem to be rolling in high performance programs, most of which are a fraction of the price of similar programs on the PC... =o/ Sure we could debate it for some time... Hell, I could debate it with myself for hours... =oP
Hey...it's been out since 2010, with a few sales. Usually to 32.99 or so, once to 17.99. This isn't a "release at 999$, drop it to days later to free" thing.
Let's say a DJ is having a house party. Might be easier to bring along the ipod/ipad than the laptop. A crate of vinyl in your pants! (yeah, I know Traktor metadata isn't for the non-digital turntable DJ, but...ya get the point)
50 for a phone app? Have you checked some of the upper echelon multitrack recording apps? Or for that matter, have you never bought Smurfberries
Lots of prof features, read the manual. Have a look in the device's main settings and the DJ Player section. No automatic beat matching like algoriddim's djay. BUT latency-free (almost) with WiFi Audio. And the MIDI features of course. Didn't figure out yet how to output stereo music (only mono here on iPad 3+4).
I know there is also a (currently free) companion app that goes with this; haven't looked at the features yet though. Perhaps you need to use an iRig Midi; a camera connection kit for the ipad (allows midi out via usb); or something similar?
meh... give it a while. It's not like we can all work on music 24/7 and create songs that are worth sharing every day of the week. =oP
I have the same problem. It seems that the songs it recognizes are the ones I purchased directly from iTunes, versus my songs from cd's. Other than the ones from iTunes, there are only 3 that it recognizes. I hope it gets fixed.
I love the idea! I joined as soon as I saw the group, but tragically, Grad School is taking up all my free time... and my eating time... and my sleeping time... and my... well, OK, I do still shave and brush my teeth, but it's touch-and-go some days... DBC
Hey! Thanks for posting this. I'm not a DJ, but I do enjoy these DJ apps. I signed up for musicians of TA. It's just hard to write when I'm already on other forums for discussing iOS and Music.
