As an early adopter of Djay Pro, I initially approached the software with considerable enthusiasm. Having recently returned to mixing, I’ve undertaken comparisons with other software packages, most notably Serato and Traktor, which are recognised for their robust DVS vinyl tracking. My focus is on long blends rather than scratching, so stability over extended periods is paramount. This is particularly pertinent when considering features such as Serato’s Anti-Drift and Traktor’s updated DVS tracking technology.
Frankly, I found Djay Pro’s DVS performance to be a significant disappointment. This was especially apparent in its ability to maintain consistent speed, seemingly struggling with turntable wow, flutter, or inherent speed variations. Furthermore, the precision of pitch bend and nudge adjustments felt lacking. Overall, I perceived a distinct lack of stability and precision in Djay Pro’s DVS implementation.
This is somewhat disappointing, especially as Algoriddim appears to have executed many other aspects of the software exceptionally well. It’s a considerable shame, as this particular shortcoming prevents me from fully committing to Djay Pro. Unfortunately, for my style of mixing, this is a critical issue.
I would be very keen to read the opinions and experiences of other users regarding this matter.
