Be The Life Of The Party With Djay Remote
In the middle of DJ’ing a house party you’re called away from your desktop forgetting to cue up some tracks. To your amazement, iTunes cues up your live version of “Like a Virgin” after a kicking Beastie Boys track — your guests recoil in horror.
This tragedy could have been avoided with an app like Djay Remote.
Djay Remote is a sleek fully-functional remote for Algoriddim’s music mixing software, DJay 3.  Using the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad users can mix, scratch, loop and sync tracks from their Mac’s iTunes collection– no importing required.
The app’s user friendly interface displays the tracks on two virtual turntables, album art included.  After cueing up two tracks users can sync the beats per minute or tap automix for quick and seamless blending . Both songs can be manipulated on-the-fly by flipping back and forth between track 1 and 2 screens.
Djay Remote includes audio FX favourites like pitch, echo and reverb to change the acoustic environment of the song.  Mixing the audio levels and EQ is easy as there’s a built-in digital mixing board –just like a pro DJ would use.
Some of the more advanced functionality of Djay Remote includes the ability to loop and cue. Set up multiple cue points to quickly jump to different parts of the track or use the nifty looping feature which will record and playback specific segments or riffs.
Since the app requires you to have the Djay 3 desktop software running on your Mac you will need to grab the free trial or purchase the licensed version for $49.99. The $4.99 price point is a bit high for a mobile app that companions paid software but it’s cool none the less.
This may not be a solution for a professional DJ but it’s a fantastic app for those who love music. I promise it offers lots of time wasting fun. Just try mixing Snoop with Tom Jones.
Djay Remote works on a WIFI connection (two-way-synchronous).
Compatible with the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.
Djay3 software is available on Mac.
