Just an FYI (alt. for others):
There is an another program for free.
[[ LINK REMOVED ]]
- Click software.

i don't have anything against apps that make dj'ing easier, progress is the future and dj's are overrated anyway, but 58$ for this kind of app?! that's barely reasonable if it had a success rate of 99.9% of tracks, which lets just say i don't have high hopes for.

yes, the dj is imoprtant. he makes (or doesnt make) the set. with this software, its nice to get a grip when mixing is hard in the begin, but you're becoming 70% less DJ i think. the mixing is gone, live-elements fade away .... its all software which is taking over (2 bad ). this program has the same thing as ableton does, beatmatching 2 or more tracks together. there's nothing left for the dj then to press a button at a certain point. a shame for the name/profession DJ, when its used wrong. with wrong i mean that the beatmatching/mixing is not done by the dj anymore ...

thats my point of view. any criticism is welcome, feel free to discuss this!

Quoting Lucien Foort House was ooit house. Een gevoel, een scene, een stroming die recalcitrant was.

Waar als Roderick & Anne Fleur gingen hockeyen, Jack stoer verklaarde: “Laat er house zijn en housemuziek werd geboren”. Waar ongelovigen toch predikten “God made me funky, and I’m glad He blessed me this way”.

sorry, but that's gotta be one of the biggest piles of bullshit i've read lately.

the mixing is gone??!! this program beatmatches 2 tracks together like ableton??!! what the flying fuck. this program supposedly just gives a hint to dj's on what tracks should work out with each other, AND THAT'S IT. it's not a button that you click and returns a set automatically.

and i'm all for keeping the beatmatching away from the dj's. if a computer can do it (and do it very well), why the fuck should we hand the job to a human? dj's can concentrate on other tasks, like trying to actually change the music live if they are able to. if they don't have the skills to do anything more than beatmatching, why the fuck should they be idolatrised like they are nowadays? it's actually great that it makes the DJ profession ridiculous, maybe then we'll be able to praise the guys that make the music instead of those that just play it.

There are websites out there with big lists of keys for dance record so DJs who can't tell by ear can mix melodically.

don't know how I feel about technology taking over parts of djing that makes it a challenge and gives a dj who does it soley as a hobby hours and hours of pleasure at experimenting with records. Although it could be a helpful tool to a dj that plays out frequently to large crowds but at a house party or bedroom djing why would you need this. It's a shame that given the resources of these days that a dj isn't required to have nearly the amont of skill that was once required back when composers like György Ligeti and so forth were making giant strides in the Electronic Music World.What the big deal with this anyhow.

I say that if you can't do it by ear than you havn't got the talent it takes and maybe you should consider other options instead of djing. A product like this only gives a sense of false hope to those who really havn't got any musical aptitude. Kudos to the guy who made the program but anybody using it for djing purposes should be shot.

just my opinion

Feel free to shoot Sasha and Armin then.

(not like they are using exactly this program, but the harmonic mixing technique)
