The first of these is a sample player: this enables you to place samples and loops into eight sample slots, or even to record them from the playback of Deckadance.Īnother feature that helps Deckadance to stand out from the DJing software crowd is its ability to host VST instruments and effects - you also get some rather excellent built-in effects. The output list we´ve just given you should have given away the fact that Deckadance has plenty more cool features in its arsenal. It´s ideal for people who prefer to use their laptop as a simple playback device and mix using a hardware mixer.

In fact, Deckadance can support up to six stereo output channels - Master Mix, Deck A, Deck B, Monitor, Loop Sampler and VSTi - which is pretty impressive. Speaking of monitoring, this obviously requires a multiple output soundcard. This even enables split-cue monitoring to ensure smooth mixing every time. You´ll find 3-band EQ and kill switches on each channel, and there´s a very comprehensive monitoring section.

Unsurprisingly, Deckadance also has a full complement of mixing functions. You might love it, but punters are likely to tire of it fairly quickly. The results are very impressive, and quite useable, but we would caution against overusing this type of relooping effect. You can opt for organised mayhem or click the Randomize button, then add master effects for total sound mangling. Furthermore, with the Relooper you have a far more sophisticated looping tool: this slices the loop rhythmically and enables you to rearrange the looped audio currently playing back in the playback buffer. Let us know what you think.The loop function can be engaged at the exact moment you activate it rather than the nearest beat. Man, I’d better not go out in Berlin tonight… And Ableton said seeing side-by-side waveforms couldn’t work the UI burden was heavy enough with one. Hmmm…Įven though you wanted plug-ins, your love was useless and Traktor said no. I may have watched that video too many times. And as we wait for the beta, she couldn’t tell you the burden was heavy enough alon–* And some of this UI/panel customization is nice, too, a bit like the iPad DJ app from TouchAble with the unpronounceable name you can’t spell.Īs far as how this stacks up against the competition, my feeling is that, even though you tried to help her, your love was useless and she carried on.
