the playroom sessions

We would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to each and everyone of you that have dropped by the blog or tuned into our live broadcasts.

It wouldn't be the same without ya!

Peace.

Most of the DJ orientated apps for the Ipad have been pretty lame... until now.

Borrowing heavily from the Mac version of the software, this new Ipad version will be the one the rest will have to match up against.

Automatic beat & tempo detection

djay’s sophisticated on-the-fly song analysis calculates the beats per minute (BPM) and exact location of each beat, laying the groundwork for a host of other features including Auto-Sync and beat-synchronized scratching.


Visual mixing with waveforms
djay's advanced audio wave form display gives you an overview of a song's structure and allows you to visually cue to specific points to prepare the prefect transition.
Auto-Cut Scratching™


Auto-Cut Scratching automatically applies the rhythmic pattern of the currently playing song to your scratches in real-time. Simply touch and move the record with two fingers to create stunning effects and go beyond the possibilities of the analog world.

Mixer and EQ controls
3-band equalizers, gain, line faders, and a crossfader give you all the tools you need to seamlessly blend one song into another.

Broadcast your mix

Broadcast your mix via AirPlay djay takes full advantage of Apple's AirPlay technology introduced in iOS 4.2. Stream your mix wirelessly to Apple TV, AirPort Express station, or any AirPlay-supported speaker dock, AV receiver, and stereo system.
Fully optimized for iOS 4 multitasking and background operation

World-class sound
Building on the iPad's superior audio system, djay offers pristine sound quality and ultra-low latency, with support for popular audio formats like MP3 and AAC.

Preview and prepare the next song through headphones: by enabling djay's Split Output mode you can cue songs through headphones independently from the mix that goes through the main speakers. All you need is a stereo/mono split cable, and djay will send the master output to the left channel and the cue output to the right channel (which is always the opposite turntable to the one audible through the master channel).
