Hello MacVisionnaires, A month ago, I bought DJay on the Mac App Store. I purposefully kept my accessibility expectations very low, as nothing I had previously tried on Windows was close to accessible. I am writing to briefly share my amazing experience with this App, which now has become a very fun tool.
The app is totally accessible except for a few minor controls with the mouse. You can absolutely overcome these by using a hardware interface, which I did. The App uses your iTunes playlist and browsing with VoiceOver is not an issue at all. You have two virtual turntables on which you must load tracks to start playing. I will not elaborate too much on how to get started here, but would be happy to hold a brief Skype session to give you a quick start tutorial if any of you are interested. The Skype call would be recorded to archive as a Podcast for future curious users. I purchased the Numark Mixtrack Pro which offers a very easy interface, with physical nobs, sliders, jog wheels and very distinct buttons. The software is so accessible that I can put my laptop aside and control the whole party through the Numark, including browsing my playlists and titles, looping, scratching, crossfading and applying numerous effects. I am an amateur, but had a lot of fun DJaying for our New Year's eve party. What I managed to learn in a few days and experimented at the party ,actually sounded much better than some sophisticated club DJs. Strongly recommended! I got the app for only $20, on sale on the App Store. I bought the hardware interface in Switzerland for approx. $250. All the best, -- Emrah “In theory, theory and practice are the same.
