There is no good software for mac for VJays/DJays… VirtualDJ has alot of stability problems on mac, an serato video is hardware dependent (RANE ssl) so very expensive.
Please make a Vjay software with all the Djay capabilities (your good itunes integration)
We also need live feed video from macbook pro’s webcam or an external iphone (this is not complicated as there are already apps for that such as iwebcamera)
midi controller
Text input
Video effects
Video transitions
later on maybe twitter integration to show on the external screen the twitter conversation #subject or @people
Me + all the mac DJ/VJ would love to see that happen !!
Wanted to bump up this solution, Cross is worth checking out especially since there’s a free version to trial in the mac app store to see if it will work for you. Full version ($129 atm) has all features that OP was asking for (except twitter integration).
I understand your frustration that your request for your controller hasn’t been added. However, saying that customer service is terrible or that support is non-existent based on this is just not fair.
We take requests into consideration but you have to understand that we cannot implement anything and everything.
You say that your controller is the “most popular controller”, yet your post hasn’t been upvoted by many users here. Also note that all improvements and new features included in the last update where among the top requested features here.
Guys, are you sure you want this? I mean, you would have to have ALL your videos in iTunes. That is the ONLY way this software will integrate with your music.
They have ABSOLUTELY no plans to get away from iTunes… I stopped using it because I don’t want to be a slave to iTunes.
As with ALL other dj related software, the files are organized WITHIN the software itself. No external app… Djay and Vjay should organize the files within the software itself and have an option to use iTunes.
Most dj’s put their tracks in a folder. Then, the tracks are organized by the software, based on the folder structure.
Because Djay uses iTunes, it limits itself to those who use iTunes. It makes absolutely no sense to me that a high quality program requires its users to use something that MANY people don’t use.
If you look at your own forums, this is absolutely one of the most requested items. Glad to help implement this if you would like… but you would have to get out of bed with iTunes first.
Oh, and this feature has been asked about for years! That proves that there is no intention on changing anything. You got my money and I am not using your software based on this so I guess you won no matter what.
It’s been requested for two years… If it hasn’t happened by now, I would not hold my breath.
I am beginning to think this software is dead, with nothing being updated. I mean, no native mapping for the Denon MC6000. The most popular controller in the world… that says a ton.
Honestly, if this update or new product isn’t substantial, I am done with dJay. I have invested too much time and money only to wait 6 months for a reply to my post.
The customer service is terrible. Support is non-existent. They update an app and then disappear for months. No support for popular controllers…
ONE MORE and I am done. Too many other good software titles for professional dj’s out there.
You hear that Warren… make it good or I am outta here. (expecting a reply in November)
Andre, they keep coming out with iPad versions but nothing for Mac. It is VERY frustrating I assure you. They come out with something and then go on vacation for a year. Now that there is spottily integration, I don’t expect ANYTHING for at least a year. Just how they work things around here.
I keep checking back, hoping things change but they don’t. A TRUE waste of money on my part since we have been asking for SO long.
They are focusing on the bedroom dj, not the pro. That is obvious.
But yes, look for at least 9 months for anything else to come out.
I agree, its about time they update this app for us MAC users. Maybe they want us to stop using it so that they can go totally with these djs on iphones. For a while I thought DJay was gonna give Serato and VDJ a run…But I guess they have decided to concentrate elsewhere
I have to agree. For the last year or so I have been using another on with djay. Honestly, the more of my music that gets cues and stuff set in the other software, the closer I get to leaving djay. Djay has several things that I love about it, but I too have waited too long
