I’m djing since 2000, i’m not a home-bedroom dj (with all my respect for them), i make serious money from that, for me its a bussines.
and what I will say next is from my experience of so many years djing
Pioneer bought Serato and now it’s time for Djay to become a real Pro software.
Djay needs 3 features for that.
Flexibile beatgrid
Possibility for mapping any controller for sorting “artist” and “BPM” library column directly from hardware. Now is possible only from laptop.
Now, when you play a song is colored instant. We need to increase the time to 20-30 sec or possibility to mapping any time you desire.
I have been asking for this for many years and have always been told me that they will consider whether to implement these options. Let’s not forget that Serato, Rekordbox and Virtual dj have already had this for many years and are not options that require high costs or hard work.
if these options were added, my opinion is that Djay would become one of the most powerful pr dj software.
I paid 3 times for the Macbook desktop version of Djay and 2 times for the iOS version and I think I can give my opinion too. Maybe in the end the people from Djay will also listen to the opinion of a customer and at the same time a DJ with a lot of experience.
Wait a moment:
You paid separately for ios and mac? Don’t you have the same apple id on those 2 paltforms??
In which case just 1 subscription is enough for both paltforms inclsuding ipadOS.
I pay yearly once for all 3 devices i use
As far as I can tell, Djay Pro already has flexible beatgrids by default. I have tried this with a few songs that have been played by actual musicians and that shouldn’t line up with, e.g., electronic music, but Djay’s beatgrids make it happen. Unfortunately, this can’t be manually adjusted or disabled, which leads to problems with beatgrids going haywire in parts of songs with few to none rhythmic elements, which throws off the grids significantly. There has been a thread about this problem for years now, and nothing has been done about it.
