It’s a funny thing… my last post is also about iPads / mobile. See? I’ve told you guys. More and more people see this as an opportunity to expand their market. It’s now Numark’s time to shine in this corner.
They’ve just released a DJ app for iPads, called iDJ. They said it’s “the easiest way to create seamless, synchronized playlists using your iTunes music library on iPad. iDJ allows anyone to make instant, continuous mixtapes of their favorite songs all blended together as one in perfect rhythm“.
Main Features
- Create seamless, synchronized playlists of your iTunes music library on iPad
- Automatically detects songs’ tempo and performs crossfades in perfect time
- Mix up to four songs at once for a completely new playlist experience
- Playlists can contain an unlimited number of songs
- Playlists can support audio WAV, MP3 and AAC files
- Easily manage your iDJ music using Itunes 9.2 (or later) on Mac or PC
iDJ’s music management system is streamlined letting you quickly build playlists using any song within your iTunes music library. More than just a lightning-fast method of building mobile mixtapes, however, iDJ’s patented BPM (beats per minute) detection technology makes your music meld together as one. As you add songs, iDJ analyzes their sonic-waveforms, calculates tempos and then automatically performs optimal transitions throughout the playlist. In the DJ world, it’s called “beat-matching”; the art of sequencing multiple songs in succession at the same speed as if one continual song. The end result being a playlist that flows from start to finish as a cohesive track.
Pricing & Availability
Numark iDJ is available for purchase in Apple’s App store, and it costs $9.99. You need an iPad with iOS 3.2 or later to run this app. More details here (numark.com)
