Chichigrabit's Review of Djay 2 Reviewed on 9/8/18 4:11 AM After updating it is constantly freezing while performing đ It canât play songs on iCloud! For those of you not familiar with djay (you can read our full djay 2 review here, by the way), it is a beautiful-looking DJ solution for iPad and iPhone, that despite appearing nice and simple (in the âtraditionalâ view, nothing much more on first glance than two strikingly realistic turntables and a mixer), actually packs a lot of power.
Read our review on the popular DJ software.
BPM Supremeâs in-house expert, Raj Thomas, recently had the chance to check out djay Pro 2, the next generation of Algoriddimâs multiple award-winning DJ software. It has new features like artificial intelligent DJ mixing, beat-matched photos and an improved interface to make mixing with iTunes and Spotify even easier.
Keep reading to see what Raj had to say about djay Pro 2:
- But can Djay break the mould and join the âbig threeâ at the peak of DJâing software. Today we take a look at the full range of Algoriddim Djay, a piece of software you can find on every platform, from Windows through to Android smartphones! Algoriddim DJ Pro 2 on iOS (iPad and iPhone).
- Jun 18, 2020 Djay Pro AI with Neural Mix is available today in the App Store for a $5 monthly subscription (and will be an update for existing subscribers). The regular version of djay for iOS is still a free.
- Aug 04, 2013 App maker algoriddim recently launched a sequel to the popular music playing app djay with the new and improved djay 2. If you are a fan of their initial record spinner, you wonât be disappointed by the follow-up. Djay 2 for iPhone or iPad is a music player that incorporates many of the functions that deejays use when spinning vinyl.
âRecently I was able to get my hands on Algoriddim djay Pro 2. When it comes to DJ software, there are usually two programs that come to mind for me â Serato DJ and Traktor. For a third option, Virtual DJ is a solid go-to program as well. When I had the chance to use djay Pro 2 both at home and out at gigs, I found more pros than cons, and ended up having a good time with it.
Sound quality
The New Audio Engine pleasantly surprised me. It sounds really great! No dropouts during built-in stand alone playback, and also no problems when using my compatible DJ controller.
X-Y Effects Control
I love the ability to control the FX in an X-Y performance pad type of layout. This allows for more expression with parameters than traditional knobs â especially if youâre performing with just a computer and no controller.
Compatible Controllers
There are a vast amount of compatible controllers from all price ranges that natively work with djay Pro 2. The company seems very active in keeping up with the new hardware coming out from manufacturers.
Macbook Pro TouchBar Compatible
Very surprised to see some useful features programmed into the debatably gimmicky touchbar of the new Macbook Pro. I usually donât use my touchbar but using it with djay Pro 2 was pretty fun.
Images in Video Mode
The PhotoBeat feature is great to have if you are DJing with video and donât have every video you need. Instead you can display images, such as a flyer for an upcoming event. PhotoBeat also allows you to have a nice visual slideshow with effects should you just want a theme of images playing on the screen. Great for weddings!
Beautiful Design
Have to mention the design aspect of djay Pro 2. Itâs definitely ahead of the curve when comparing to competition.
No Controller Needed
This software is ready to go when you are. Whether you perform using only a laptop, or maybe you want to test mixes out without setting up all your gear, just open up the software and have fun!
Automix AI
Automatic DJ mixes based on artificial intelligence is a pretty cool feature. I think it would be great to use for dinner parties or during a wedding reception dinner to make the experience a little better than a normal pre-made playlist.
Price Point
As I write this review, you can download djay Pro 2 for only $39.99 on the App store. Really canât beat that!
Different Keyboard Shortcuts than Serato
There were just a few things I noticed that could use improvement on djay Pro 2. For example, when using the computer keyboard, Iâm already very familiar with Serato DJ shortcut commands. I would love if djay Pro 2 has a selectable drop down in the âshortcutsâ menu that allowed me to select Serato DJ or Traktor shortcuts. However, I will mention that shortcuts on djay Pro 2 are totally customizable. You can save presets and make the keyboard shortcuts your own, but it just takes some time out of your day to map those commands.
Added Costs for Extra FX
Wonderful effects designed by Sugar Bytes are available for an extra add on purchase ($9.99). Even though these effects are priced very low, it would be nice if the cost was included with the program.
Automix AI
Yes, this feature was just mentioned in the âProsâ section, but I feel the need to point out how scary it is that machines can do what humans do. Obviously I donât think AI will be replacing DJs anytime soon, and AI cannot perform up to the level of a professional DJ, but checking out what the AI feature can do really lets you know to step your game up because the robots are coming!
Bottom line, djay Pro 2 is a great program! For the price point and cool features that djay pro 2 has, Iâd say it definitely stacks up against the competition. If youâre looking for a forward-thinking and user-friendly way to mix and create your DJ sets, djay Pro 2 is a perfect option.â
