why every DJ should try djay Pro in 2020: Ean hands-on review 

3:56 Spotify should at least keep supporting DJs, keep their link with Djay Pro and rise subsc. price or find a compromise. What a bad move...

Good to see you back Ean!

Been using djay for more than half a year now and I think you’re spot on saying that it is viable both for beginners, as well as for pros. I think you should’ve shown the 2-deck view as well, accessed via the djay symbol at the top of the screen. Also invaluable: using the Mac version along with the iOS version. iCloud sync makes it possible to prepare tracks with one device and then have the metadata sync over to other devices.

Yep the Secret is out... Been rockin' parties for years with this app...

Also what's nice is trying out full sets and seeing what mixes well before actually buying it to play in Traktor or Rekordbox. Having tracks that actually mix well! I am seriously considering this for getting some better playlists set up. One of the worst things I have done is listen to small bits of music and then just dump them into folders and hope I eventually sort them out.

Time flies! Nice to see you again since 2006! Where’s you hair? :) Your outstanding exercises with vci-100 were so inspiring for me. Thank you! Would tell more about time effective music selection for the playlist? And tips and tricks for iOS NI TRAKTOR DJ and vinyl setup integration?

Seriously, Spotify stopping integration for me will be the reason to switch to Tidal. Tidal supports entry solutions like Djay Pro as well as Denon‘s hi-end players. You can get higher bitrates and Tidal is closer to musicians.

I use this as a back up for my corporate and wedding events. I put the music on iTunes and have the correct adapters for XLR. You can also connect a DDJ 400 to it on the iPad and control it there. Valuable back up solution for sure.

Very nice tutorial.. ☺️ easy to understand.. you're chill n that helps 100% Thank you man. I'm the latest subscriber as of 11/3/ 7:45 pm PST..!

Just matched this App with a DDJSX mk1/Ipad camera connection kit & Ipad Pro (1st gen) and it was plug & play. Works like a charm. Waiting for the next family BBQ!

I love the DJ pro app. I use it exclusively for my radio show as well as my Mobile wedding DJ business. Streaming makes accepting requests at weddings a breeze, and the fact it lays flat keeps me connected to my dance floor like CDJs do.

Thank you for your support keep mixing

yep, with the subscription this package is pretty pro. i’m really looking forward to updates to the beat-grid, so i can quantise old variable tracks. fingers crossed.

This app went from a $10 app back in the days to a subscription only in 2020.

I love mix House using my Spotify playlist!!! Nice app!

awsome app being using it. since it came out now running the pro series with all the bells in whistles any where! any time! use It in the club to one thing I suggest is use a land line to stabilise the internet line because wifi is not stable and it will freeze believe me its happen! lol video mixing is amazing also! yeah don't whats up with Spotify pulling out oh well there lost I'm gana shut mine down cause I'm hooked up to all the other platforms now alI can say is thanks algoriddim keep up the good work with djpro

What’s really crazy ... that’s an iPad mini 2. A totally old and cheap as chips unit. I’m using a mini 5 and can stream full hd video via screen mirror and an $40 old Apple TV ( the iPad becomes the studio and the screen mirrors just the finished full screen output) so dope!

I Do use this as a back solution if anything goes wrong. Great little bit of software.

With the iPad USB3 Camera Adapter, I've been able to plug in my Pioneer controller and it worked straight away! Gives me more space to play with the track browser and even play around with the Looper option.

Switched from traktor tot DJay pro on my macbook. Has a better integration with my Pioneer XDJ's. DJay pro is a good program. Love it.

Ian this is awesome advice. I currently use this on my iPhone 7 along with a ddj 200, Tidal and dragonfly black which sounds really nice and loud even with the spit mono cable. If only there was a way to batch analyze tracks. The most efficient method I found was to run a playlist in autodj mode 🤦🏽‍♂️

Great review

Neural Mix is a game changer.

Always a vibe

Beatport/beatsource made Ean come out!!! wo0aaahhhhhh!!!!

Djay is a great app. They have also integrated their software into a Mac app, so you can Dj from your laptop. The iPad screen can be a bit limiting. This software also has native support for many diff controllers. Even supports a couple of native instruments controllers. I use the denon 7000 with this software. I can Dj from my laptop or my iPad and use my controller on both devices. Ian, I wish you would have shown this software hooked up to a controller. Try it out man.

And now we have Djay Pro AI and it's next level. In the process of migrating to it from Traktor after being a hardcore Traktor user for a dozen years.

You can use djay pro via midi Controller as well i have traktor s2 and its work perfect with it

It’s a master piece🔥🔥, been using it. Great for video mixing. Would really miss my Spotify integration 😞

I adore djay. The Spotify integration alone makes it an amazing set prep tool

thank you

Didn't cover the music video mixing that it can do. That is fun as well. Great for outputting video to monitors as well for a small gig video gig provided you have HDMI out dongle handy.

I've been exclusively a Traktor user since Traktor 3 LE days... Found myself switching to djay Pro yesterday... I had to get rid of my 2016 MBP 13 recently and fall-back to late 2009 MBP. Traktor Pro 3 with my S2 MK3 ended up being unusable on that laptop, so I decided to give djay a try on a 6th gen iPad that I had at hand. To be honest, I've been surprised with how usable the djay app is compared to Traktor DJ 2 (no streaming subscription except for Soundcloud Go) and even Traktor PRO 3 (too hefty and choppy on my hardware).

Cool

I got it on my phone it's amazing and easy to use

Nice stash!

Thank you for all the info! How do I tune in to one of the two decks in the app to hear, prepare and cue the music I want to mix in next without it playing in the current song on deck?

I try djay pro it fun and awesome

virtual dj is great and flow deck 8 it be great to try flow deck 8

I use the Pioneer DDJ 200 with DJay Pro on my iPad Pro and it's awesome.

It's never about the soft wear it depends on your dj skills and I love this app no complaints

Been using djay since it came out back on the ipad2,,,,stuck with it ,now just retired my 7 year old beat pad 2 after a very hard life and just recently picked up its successor the Reloop mixon 4 at a bargain 250£ brand new with soft travel bag ,,absolute bargain …I use it lie all the time,,,,but back before I had a controller I got really good on djay just by messing around on it continually,especially trains on planes ferries etc it’s so true with a set of headphones on you can just make an absolute racket eventually learning new techniques etc ,,,like he said it is so much fun ,,,,funny I was thinking recently to call myself DJ ADHD😂

good afternoon, it happens to me in the program that when I open zoom, automatically the sound of the dj is lowered and when I connect it to the tv the same thing happens to me and when I play the music it is heard very softly, do you know what it could be and how can I solve it? thank you very much

i use this on my note9 with a hercules controller, works great

i have a Vestax Spinn midi controller from uhm....2009? it were shipped with an older version of djay, but idk if its still supported.

An iPad can never replace a hardware controller. Touch screens are terrible unless you are using them for FX. Although the best part is the streaming service which a lot of professional DJ softwares are catching up to.

Good video

❤️❤️❤️❤️ this app

well said

Is the djay pro stable for the 7th generation iPad? I have. A mixon 4 and I wanted to pick one up

The only reason I use Djay pro is Spotify integration. I will have to stop using it after July 1st.

Can someone please answer this, for this app, do you have to buy the songs in order to play songs on this app?? Because some dj apps wont let you use songs because of copyright or not having them bought. I have a apple subscription and in some dj apps i still cant use my music. Could i still use my music with a apple subscription or do i need to physically buy and download the music on my ipad?

So can you save loops and cue points with this even for tracks that are streamed from a 3rd party service?

I djayed a party last night with dj pro ai and it was great. I recommend it

good soft, i will prefer a fix cool price more then a subscription, with time is not cheap..

I use this everywhere with a UE Boom...all hooked up to a Mophie battery pack

Nice, but i like better traktor dj2... I hope that NI doesn’t give up on that as they did with The s5 😔

Is there any DJ software that allows you to take songs from your own iTunes to be remixed?

Disappears after making a promise Reappears for a sponsorship 😔

can you export playlists? So that you can listen to them later?

its a great software, amazing, but i cant use it with my external ssl2 card...the mic input has latency and plays only on my right channel....pls fix this..to be able to use external sound cards....

How would you suggest playing your own music?

Hi, Can you make a playlist as you go along ? Regards Geoff

Cue on the iPad is the issue I have a ptoblem with

Do you have to buy the songs from iTunes?

Strange that spotify has given no explanation for pulling the plug. Tidal is unfortunately 2x the price and lacks user playlists contribution, which is a great way of sourcing music

Can you use this with turntables?

Do they have a paid version for Windows and do it come with all the features

Who else here in 2022 and got that OG midi fighter?

What Controller is it compatible with so I can get hands on

Why won’t djay recommend matching songs in itunes? What am I missing?

what’s the point of the itunes app integration when every song is drm protected

TIDAL is part of Jay Z's umbrella. it is the highest quality bit rate and quality. plus great that this has access to Beatport. Why is Traktor not Beatport accessible? or is it 🤔

Is it possible to listen to one track in head phones while the other is playing? … mixing the tracks and guessing if they are in time is a flaw!

What tips have you got me pl

How to save?? I can't screen record >:(( HOW DO YOU SAVEEEEE AAAAASA

Can we change the samplers?

Spotify are dropping their api for all DJ software July 1st - they have just added support for Beatport though. Also, the app has a whole lot more.

Even cheaper, its for free : Traktor DJ 2. So if you just want to try out if this is for you....

Can you hear one channel on your headphones while another channel is playing?

Programma?

Can I record my set on this app?

Lol it’s ok Ean everyone knows native instruments is slacking in software and hardware. Djay is great i midi mapped a mpd 226 to control all the sample decks and looper pads. It’s so much fun to play around with them and like a remix deck you can keep a constant beat going. I’m still using my original s2 with a kontrol f1and a single Stanton sc3 for wacky touch screen EQ and effects on traktor, but I’m considering moving to Djay or even VirtalDj for the new neural ai stem features.

How do I download musix for free? Other than music downloader app

I wish they can have youtube music ...

How about a hardware setup for actually playing with this? Is it possible ?

De beste dj ,s zitten thuis

Ninguém aí tem conta pra me emprestar não? Pra mim instalar o djay 2

I wish you would’ve showed it hooked up to a controller. I haven’t seen any video about Djay and controllers on RU-vid.

Have a trail been added to the echo as yet?

But can I connect my midi fighter and controllers to the app

Still think that app is great just lacks a dvs feature ...

Cough - Ean taking that Djay money.

9.99 u can save SoundCloud tracks offline too

And now the app via Bluetooth doesn’t stay connected to my DDJ-200, it lasts for about 10 minutes and then it disconnects!! This is why I hate Bluetooth stuff

🇹🇲👍

I use djay

"Let's mix it up" plays all electronic music 🤣

Ean, this is Djay Pro but you didn’t mention Djay Pro 2 is there a difference.

It would be unreal if you could use crates and integrate with serato. A main loss for me though is the lack of isolation on the eq. Mixing techno without this is very ugly
