#DJAY PRO VIDEO SOFTWARE#

Spotify’s catalog is pretty huge at this point, thanks to digital distributors. This is to me really powerful for music discovery, which is where mobile apps for me shine. And on supported iPhones, “3d touch” (force touching the screen) lets you set cue points and preview songs. You get haptic feedback to make the touch interface more usable when working with the jog wheels. It’s funny that Algoriddim is making better use of touch feedback than even Apple.

Here’s another reason this might be a serious VJ tool – armed with a stabilizer and/or some extra lenses, it could be a powerful visual addition to a live rig. Yeah, stop thinking of lugging laptops, and start thinking of your phone as a computing device capable of the powers your laptop once had. You can mix two simultaneous 4K video streams. But that four deck mode means you can try a lot of what-if scenarios on the go with multiple decks when practicing, even when you’re far away from your DJ rig. You actually have a choice of layouts – horizontal, vertical, two decks, or four. The feature set that makes this possible: (Okay, maybe don’t tell your boss you’ve got this app.)Ĭoupled with haptic feedback and Force Touch, this interface is surprisingly fun to use – certainly good enough for practicing and trying out mixes, or recording a quick podcast. I mean, I’m mixing a set while I write this. And casual use is something that both serious DJs and weekend music lovers have in common. So they’ve crammed in a bunch of features here, for “pros,” but they’ve kept everything friendly so it’s just as handy for casual use.

What I like about Algoriddim is that, despite the “pro” moniker, their software doesn’t really make a judgment about what it is you’re doing. In fact, djay Pro could be the solution to adding 4K video mixing to your live/AV set.

It’s there when you’re on the bus and curious how some tunes might mix together, or lying in bed browsing through music and mixing, or listening at the office, mixing the latest promo tracks you’ve gathered.Īnd it’s a serious enough VJ/DJ tool that you might use it to run video in the background from your phone, or make it an ultra-portable companion to a controller in place of a laptop, or keep it as a backup. It’s there when you’re at a friend’s place, or at an afterhours/afterparty in the drowsy hours of the morning. It’s there if you need to play a mix while a party is warming up. You’re just going to use it for everything else. Not just could be – is.Īlgoriddim’s djay Pro is here on the iPhone, and after playing around with it, I think it’s a must-have for DJs and VJs alike.Īre you going to do a serious DJ set with this? Probably not. Could a DJ/VJ app on your phone be a serious tool? Absolutely.
