Djay 2 Ipad Spotify Offline

Posted on  by


Almost a year ago, I wrote a review of the very popular djay iPad app by Algoriddim. I really enjoyed the app and had very few complaints, so naturally I had high expectations for djay 2 when it was released in July. Although the update to the app isn’t completely groundbreaking, djay 2 does add some useful new features while keeping the same, quality interface that made the first djay such a huge success.

Aug 03, 2018  Step 2. Add Music to Spotify Music Converter. Now, just open your DJ apps like Djay, Virtual DJ, Stereo DJ and more and then import the music to your DJ apps as your Deck 1 and Deck 2 to mix your music by different sound effects, such as Gate, Phaser and more. May 22, 2014  First Impressions / Setting up. For those of you not familiar with djay (you can read our full djay 2 review here, by the way), it is a beautiful-looking DJ solution for iPad and iPhone, that despite appearing nice and simple (in the “traditional” view, nothing much more on first glance than two strikingly realistic turntables and a mixer), actually packs a lot of power.

Upon first glance, djay 2 looks a lot like the first djay, making it instantly familiar to many users. However, the new features lie cleverly hidden just below the surface. In the middle of the screen, between the two decks, is a small button with a grid icon on it. After pressing this button, the decks slide out of the way, and the user is greeted by a 12 button sample player. The 12 individual pads are pre-loaded with popular DJ samples (air air air airhooooooorrrnnn) and instruments (kick drum, high hat, etc.) Pressing the “edit” button in the middle of the screen allows you to assign new samples and sounds to any pad that you wish. Djay 2 provides a pretty nice selection of samples within the app, but also gives you the option to record your own samples, which is a nice feature. I really enjoyed drumming out some beats on the pads. They responded well, were large enough to easily hit, and didn’t interrupt the playback of the main decks.

In addition to the standard 2-deck DJ interface, djay 2 also incorporates a new waveform only mode. This can be accessed by pressing the squiggly line button in the upper section of the main screen. The decks are then replaced by two large, beautiful, color-coded waveform displays. This enhanced waveform view makes it very easy to set one or all of djay’s four available cue points. This new mode also allows you to edit the “beatgrid” of a particular song if you choose to do so. Thanks to the enhanced audio analysis of djay 2, I saw no reason during my demo to adjust the preset beat gridding of any track that I played. All of them were gridded perfectly immediately after they were loaded to the deck. The sync buttons on djay 2 work wonderfully, and the large waveforms make it easier to visually beat match 2 songs even without sync engaged (using the pitch slider and bend buttons). I really liked the new Slice Mode, which allows you to use the beats in the waveforms as temporary “hot cues”, making it easy to chop up and rearrange the beats of a track on the fly. Slice Mode can also be switched over to Slip Mode, which is basically a waveform scratching mode. Much like the scratching on djay’s turntable decks, the Slip Mode scratching is pretty decent, but feels more gimmicky than practical. Overall, the waveform only mode is a useful addition to the djay app that feels slightly more professional that the standard 2 deck mode.

Another great new feature included in djay 2 is the single deck mode. There’s really no big secret to activating this mode, simply turn the ipad upright and presto…….you’re in single deck mode. The deck or waveform that is currently playing will enlarge and fill the entire screen. All of the other features and effects of the app are still available, and the extra screen real estate makes it easier to scratch or mix in a track. For me, this single deck mode would be very useful in a live setting. Since I spin on turntables with Serato Scratch Live, I rarely ever use an app as a primary mixing source. I do, however, like to use a DJ app as a third deck. Djay 2 fills this need perfectly by providing a large, easy to use single deck interface with all of the features I need to seamlessly mix a third track into my set.

Honestly, the new sample pad mode and the waveform mode are the only two big changes to the djay app. But, there are numerous little changes that make upgrading to djay 2 worthwhile. In the standard turntable deck mode, the virtual vinyl records look more like real vinyl. The breaks in the track are visually identifiable on the record, much like they are on a real piece of vinyl. The music library also displays differently on djay 2. After pressing the “load track” button on a deck, a small window opens to allow you to browse your music selection. I definitely prefer this over the first djay, which opens up the music library in full-screen mode. Another minor change that I found to be very useful is the backlighting of buttons. When you open the effects section (or any section for that matter), the button or icon remains lit until it is pressed again to exit out of that particular section. This is not the case with the first djay, and while using the original app, I often found myself searching for the way to exit out of the effects or looping sections. The backlit icons solve this minor issue and add to the overall user friendliness of djay 2.

Then with it, you can search online. Virtual dj pro mac serial number. If you want a track and that was not available on your PC. Virtual DJ 2020 Crack Build 5630 For Mac + WinMoreover, Virtual DJ Keycode is also an online tool.

All of the same great effects and looping features of the original djay are included in djay 2, with an improved tab-style layout that helps simplify navigation. The effects in djay 2 are identical to the effects in the first djay, with the exception of a new looping/filter effect. Although it’s the only new effect that I spotted, it is a very, very cool effect that utilizes an XY-axis touch pad to simultaneously loop and filter the audio from a track. Combine this with the multi-touch capability of the app (allowing you to crossfade and engage effects at the same time), and you’ve got an awesome sounding new way to mix between tracks.

Overall, djay 2 is a very impressive DJ app. The first djay app felt a lot like a toy to me, but the new features of djay 2 make it feel much more like a professional grade DJ app. With a growing number of hardware manufacturers creating compatible controllers, I have a feeling that djay 2 will find its way into an increasing number of DJ booths over the next year. If you are a fan of the first djay app, the new features of djay 2 definitely make it worth the cost to upgrade. Too me, djay 2 strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and practicality and I highly recommend checking it out.

[rating:4.5]
Algoriddim's djay 2.5 has received an interesting update for any Spotify subscribers out there. And there's more that just full integration of this music streaming service as Tadhg Leonard discovers.

Integrating Spotify with a DJ app is something I have wanted for a long time. That came in February when the Pacemaker DJ app announced it would be incorporating Spotify along with its 20 million tracks. This was considered by many to be the first step in an iPad DJing revolution. DJs would now have the option to leave their record bags (or more recently USB sticks) behind and instead DJ from the cloud, safe in the knowledge that they had access to a library of music that would suit any dance floor. However, it still wasn't the solution I was looking for. Pacemaker was not without its positives but its lack of hardware integration and advanced DJing features meant it was not really a valid option for professional mixing.

Luckily Algoriddim have jumped to the rescue with a Spotify partnership of their own. djay, with its unintimidating interface, clever syncing features and vast array of FX is thought of as the main competitor to Traktor DJ as the best DJ app available. Therefore it was quite exciting to hear that with the update to djay 2.5 you had now essentially 20 million tracks to play with in a professional mixing environment. Lets have a look at how this integration works in the real world and see if it really is the game changer many people think it is.

Access

The first thing you are going to want to do is load a track onto the decks but with 20 million tracks to choose, it’s hard to know where to start. Luckily Algoriddim and Spotify have pulled out all the stops in making track selection an easy process. When you tap the load song button you will see five tabs at the bottom of the screen, each designed to help you choose the next track.

Of course you could use the Search bar on the top left of the screen which will allow you to directly search for one of the twenty million tracks at your disposal.

Firstly, all your playlists that you created from your regular spotify account appear the left hand pane of the Playlist tab. This is ideal for DJs who like to prepare a tracklist before gigs as they can use Spotify on their other devices to build up different set lists.

If you’re a DJ that keeps up with today’s popular music trends, then the Charts tab should be right up your street.

If you’re a DJ that keeps up with today’s popular music trends, then the Charts tab should be right up your street. Comprising of Spotify's 100 most streamed songs, the list is updated every day ensuring that you will always be in the know as to what the masses are dancing too.

However, if you would rather not succumb to such commercialism then the Browse tab gives you access to twenty charts of various genres. There is also a Top DJs’ chart if you want to see what tracks David Guetta and Co are currently rocking dance floors with.

Next up is the Match tab which works in a very interesting way. It is designed to give you suggestions of what song to play next based on the one that is currently playing. Algoriddim have teamed up with Echo Nest Technology to ensure this feature is not just a fad. In fact Echo Nest calculates suggestions based on many different factors including danceability, BPM, key, style and how it mixes with the currently playing track. In practice, the Match function provided surprisingly useful as it presented complimentary songs that I probably would not have thought of otherwise.

To preview any of these recommendations long press on the song title and select ‘Preview’.

The Queue tab is also quite handy as it grants users the ability to queue up tracks for playing from both Spotify and iTunes (by the way iTunes is still perfectly integrated, should any users be worried that their locally stored music might be given the cold shoulder)

Finally, the History tab is designed to remind you what tracks you have already played in your set should you have forgotten. You also have the option to export your playlists or share them to your social network. Unfortunately you can’t record your mixes but with current day music copyright laws that is hardly much of a surprise.

Analysis and Mixing

Now that we have our track selected, let's have a look at how well these Spotify tracks perform back in the mixing interface. Despite the fact that the tracks’ data is being pulled from the cloud, analysis is just as quick as if it were a track that was stored locally. (Tip: The track will load faster still if you turn Key Detection off in the settings.) The track can even be played immediately before the waveform is fully displayed.

Another nice touch is that the artwork from each track is also displayed onto the relevant deck.

Better still, djay will store all this information within the app itself so the track will be already analyzed the next time it is loaded onto the deck. Of course the hot cues that you created will also be stored. Another nice touch is that the artwork from each track is also displayed onto the relevant deck.

New FX

Spotify integration is obviously the main headline in djay’s update to 2.5, but it is also worth mentioning that Algoriddim have included some new FX as in-app purchases. Powered by Sugarbytes there are now an additional thirty ‘desktop- class’ FX to play with, perfectly complimented by djay’s excellent FX interface.

Conclusion

Needless to say I was very impressed with the integration of djay and Spotify. Not only because there is now 20 million tracks in my virtual record bag but also the way in which the app was laid out to make the track selection process very easy indeed. The Match feature was especially impressive and although I don't believe any DJ should depend on charts or various algorithms to choose your next track, there is nothing wrong with having suggestions to browse through.

Also, if you’re a DJ who spends a considerable amount of money downloading tracks, then shelling out for djay and a premium Spotify subscription could very well save you a small fortune. It is also worth investing in one of djays approved hardware controllers to give yourself some physical mixing control over a pretty much limitless library of music.

Price: $4.99 (excluding in-app purchases) / Upgrade: Free

Pros: 20 million tracks available to mix one of the best DJ apps around. Match feature.

Cons: Can't record your mix for copyright reasons. Can’t offline Spotify playlists, meaning you will need to depend on Wi-Fi during gigs.
