I can vouch that the beat matching was fine. Mixing/levels a bit dodgey in bits but apart from that not bad atall.
However we don't know how many times they've ran it to get that out. And the mixes are very short.
Still impressive in my eyes. |

| It is indeed as she said. It is for as far as we know the most accurate system on the market right now. The tracks stay on the bpm one has selected and stay in. This removes the element of drift and having to adjust bpm's. Basically select your betamatched tracks put them on a timeline where you would like to start them (this can be anyplace even if they all start together at the same time) and press play. One can adjust the bmp without drift as the mix is played. Mixes can be as long and as short as one prefers. The reason for our mixes being avarage lenght is due to bandwith expense on our server. We do get over a 100 downloads a day on average. |

You don't seem to realize the main concern of many DJ's on here. For most people it took years to perfect beatmatching skills and now some 10 year-old kid can hit beatmatch button without learning to do it manually at all. Of course, you guys at Auto DJ seem to care only about making profit, therefore it is pointless for me to tell you this. However, I want to point this fact out directly to you, so you don't go dodging around and try to make this software look like an eye candy to DJ's around here. |

We do understand everyone's point of view and do take this into account. This is a tool for everyone.
As for the making profit bit. That is not our goal. Of course we want to be able to pay our bills with this and it's not like we charge hundreds of pounds like many other systems would do.
Our goal is to open peoples eyes and ears to the wonders of mixing music with your favourite dancer dancing on your favourite track, going out to a gig and controlling everything with one tool, not having to drag heavy cases with CD's or records around as a few examples.
People will be able to use this at home for their own pleasure, DJ's will be able to boost their preformance with the control of many things (syncronized lyrics/text, beatmatched visuals, lighting and smoke), club owners will be able to save money on different control panels for their setup even song request could potentially be entered on a touch screen in a club.
The DJ will still make the atmosphere in the club or at the party by playing his/her tracks with enthousiasm. The people will always look up to the DJ for he/she is the one that get's the party started. Most people enjoy the music regardless if it comes from a computer system, cd's or turntables. It is the show itself that makes them enjoy the night. |

i prefer to drag heavy cases with vinyls or cd's than to take a software and let it do the beatmatching for me,like i said where is the fun??
i love to play and love it more when im mixing on point,so with something like this it would be more like a "programer" than a dj.....sometimes i wonder how long is the real dj'ing era is gonna last.......

k,nuff said,you are in the wrong forum buddy,im not trying to be a dick but you are asking ppl that been learning the art of mixing for years on front of a set of TT for who knows how many hours a day to let a program do the beatmatching for you and become a "programer" :rolleyes: nyways,just my opinion and my point of view....... |

All of this can already be done. I fail to see how your automatic dj software makes any difference other than either replacing the dj and/or making their job require much less skill and be much more boring. If we really wanted to mix with mp3s and save carrying "heavy lp cases", then we could just use mp3 enabled cd players. As to club owners being able to save money...it's not much money, especially considering they already have the tts, cd players, mixer, etc. |

| Most people see things as the easiest way is the best but realy... where is the fun if their is no challenges in life. The best feeling is when something is realy hard to do and you work and work and work and you finaly get it and then you can sit their and be proud. |

A.DJ: This will work wonders in a commercial club, i listened to the first 2 of ur mixes you posted, it'll do well.
By "Commercial club" i mean those that play radio remixed tracks, RnB n so forth, u get what i mean, where people jsut go out to drink and have a fun time. NOT the sorta joint that holds Trance events.
Honestly i can see these commercial club owners using this, paying some guy not-that-much and having him "program" (that seems to the be adopted word) the music.
I wanted to note however that in ur first mix everything sounds like a sample, and this being the case you can do it ableton already although u can edit the tracks live with it, not just mix, im not sure if your "Auto DJ" program can or not.
Anyway, you arent gonna sell it here, really the wrong place, i mean thanks for informing us about it, but it just not gonna be used by these guys (including me).
Take it to commercial club owners, they'll love it :) you should make a fair bit of money
p.s the algorithms to do this must be pretty damn good, what are the specs this program needs? |

I have to say that I found this very impressive and would be very interested in finding out more about it so will wonder onto the site later.
I have to say that some parts in the mixes are harmonically horrible but I think that emphasises the power of this tool in the hands of someone who knows how keys work together.
What caught my ear is that the Skin-Faithfullness track was well matched. Not sure if it's just my two copies of if it really is a bugger to mix because of bad vinyl pressing.
The cool things you would do with loops and stuff is very cool... could almost persuade me to go digital. (That's almost folks not for definate).
Cheers

Sounds seriously difficult (esp for a new company) how many people do you have on this?

We are still testing all the aspect of the specs with our beta testers but have managed to mix 3 tracks on a 386 no problems. |

We currently have 5 people working on this in house. One programmer one graphics designer, one stylist(female), one marketing manager and me in charge of administration/PR/Business Relations(female). |
