djay - DJ App & AI Mixer 4+

Best DJ App for iPhone imo!

I’ve tried a lot of different DJ apps on here and while nothing will compare to VirtualDJ, that isn’t available on iOS so this is definitely the closest alternative out there.

My only few complaints would be;

- the vocal/instrumental isolation tools could be improved quality wise, especially when isolating vocals but I have noticed recent updates have added extra tools to try and improve so hopefully it’ll only get better

- more looper sound packs; they’re all great but there’s only so many things you can do with the same packs, even if we had to pay for the extra ones I wouldn’t mind as long as they were reasonably priced

- there is a bug I’ve encountered since downloading where often times the track will start a few seconds in instead of at the beginning which can get frustrating especially when doing longer mixes that use multiple tracks at specific points

- another bug I encounter a lot is especially when using looper over two tracks, the last loaded track never matches with the BPM set of the looper making it quite hard to mix and sound good using more than one track.

Other than these though I love this app, maybe some cool personalization things would make a good addition too like setting custom colours for the decks other than that keep up the great work! ❤️

Biggest Fan/Power User - but Version 5 is LAGGY

Hi algoriddim if you’re reading this…. As title suggests I’ve been using this app since version 1. In fact, I bought the first gen iPad just to pretty much just use the app. I liked it so much, I soon got rid of my Pioneer CDJ’s and mixer. I’ve always been able to do far better mixes and manipulate tracks/vocals/beats etc. with this app than you ever could with Pioneer kit. So, all was more than amazing - until this new ‘Version 5’. I’m now on a 3rd gen. iPad Pro and I’m sorry guys, but it’s soooooo laggy. The app on my iPad could previously analyse and skip through full fat WAV tracks in the blink of an eye. But now, it’s clunky and struggling/freezing when simply sliding/skipping forward and back to points on a track. Also, don’t know why when you’ve added functionality to the crossfader you’ve removed position markings from it?! Anyway, that’s currently the least of my worries. I wouldn’t be writing this if I didn’t care, because like I’ve said, I guarantee I’m one of this apps biggest fans/users. BUT, on an iPad Pro the app currently feels like it’s one swipe away from crashing to the point where I’m no longer confident to use it live in front of an audience. Pretty much every update of Djay has run beautifully on the 5 iPads I’ve had, but my verdict on this latest update - sorry algoriddim, but currently it’s not running smoothly at all…..

Great but…..

I really like the way I can have this app across devices. It’s really responsive across Mac and iOS. Seems to have most the features I want and I’ve been doing for 20 plus years, including in a professional capacity. One thing I expected was to be able to make playlists on my phone and port them directly to my Mac. Either this isn’t possible, or it’s hidden deep in the settings, or I’m daft. I’d like to know which cos it’s frustrating as hell. If we can’t do this, why? For me it’s kinda the whole point that we can make playlists on the go without getting all our kit out, then plug in our laptop and mixer do a quick sync and then your away. But if that’s not the reason, it’s just a 3 in 1 subscription to 3 different apps with some very limited data porting of cue point data. If I’m wrong and you have a specific tutorial for this problem please link me to the video. My subscription is coming up soon. I love the phone app and want to expand to using it for real gigs if possible. If this problem can be solved it’s kinda a no brainier.
