Hey,
I'm looking for some opinions to help me decide on which DJ software to invest time into using.
Background
After a bit of a hiatus, I decided recently that I wanted to geting into DJing again. When I say DJing, what I really mean is just recording some mixes to listen to and share with friends and occasionally sticking a few tracks together when people come over for a drink etc.
I'm not a noob as such, I was pretty used to playing on Technics and similar back in the day, and went through a phase of using Ableton Live to put some mixes together a few years back. What's reignited the itch for me is actually using Algoriddim DJay on my phone and my iPad, It was great to pick up stuff from Spotify and put mixes together at home or in the garden/car/beach/ etc etc.
Recently bought a Numark MixTrack Pro3 for a bargain price and using it with DJay Pro on PC. This is pretty good, but there are a couple of niggles and wonder if worth looking at other options - just not sure what is best.
The niggles with Djay on PC are
- The filter on the mixer is awful.
- Looping doesn't seem to behave properly or sync too well
- No proper playlist/crate facility
- Just wonder what else I could be missing out on!
Requirements
I have no problem learning software normally, just want to make sure I spend time getting set up and into the program that will be best for me. This is specifically what I need.
1) Supports / fully compatible with with Numark Mixtrack Pro 3
2) Able to use multiple audio devices (generally I use the cue out from my mixtrack, but the main output is going to my other audio interface because they are hooked up to my monitors)
3) Decent filter and EQ
4) Good track synching (I am not a purist, I can beatmatch if I need to, but far prefer to let the computer do it and focus on track selection / eq / blending).
5) Timestretch / key detection
6) Good library management and playlist/crate features
So basically, looking for recommendations and opinions, what are you guys using?
Cheers
