App Reviews: Algoriddim Djay (for iPad)

You know the drill by now - dj app tries to replicate a realistic dj experience, and the experts try to pick it apart. So does the Algoriddim Djay app for iPad get the job done? A couple of in-depth web reviews give us some insight.

'Our resident professional dj was pleased rather than blown away by Djay, initially calling it a nice toy, but later describing it as a very convenient way to practice a set on a bus or train before coming back to 'real' dj gear at home or a club.' - iLounge

'Djay for iPad won't cut it for the advanced dj, but it's a fun tool that works well and takes advantage of all the iPad's usefulness.' - PCMag.com

Couple of things stand out to me. First off, the reviews note that you tend to get low memory warnings on a semi-regular basis, so look out for that. But for a beginner who wants to play around before upgrading to something bigger & better (or someone who just wants an easy way to keep the party going), Djay does a solid job of re-creating the experience - or simply beatmatching the tracks for you. Try it for yourself and let us know what you think by leaving a comment.

dj mix/mashup: 6 man [drake] x devil in a new dress [kanye west, rick ross]

Made with Logic Pro at 82 bpm Clip from mix #69 - two big beats on top of each other, which I could've done a better job adjusting for a cleaner sound. But if you listen to the actual mix, the transition sounds smooth; my goal for this video was to create a loop that feels like the first draft of a mashup/remix. Worth building on for a future project. Key- and bpm-compatible playlist

dj mix/mashup: gold [kiiara] x genie in a bottle [christina aguilera]

Made with Logic Pro at 87 bpm Not exactly how the transition went in mix #77 ; had to edit the Genie in a Bottle intro a little to cut out Christina Aguilera's vocals and make it more loop-able. A nice pairing - Gold has vocals and minimal percussion, and fits nicely over the Genie in a Bottle instrumental. Another good candidate for a full-on mashup or remix for someone who wants to dig in a little more. Key- and bpm-compatible playlist
