Hi Chris Unfortunately no, it isn't available as trialware any longer because it's in the Mac App Store. It uses yaour iTunes library and playlists which gives you to ability to mix and play your music collection like a professional. For just £13.99 I considder it a total bargain! Gordon

Hi, I know you have two mixing devices, but are mixing devices absolutely necissary to use this app? I ask this since I don't own a mixer, I just have an mAudio producer mic with a sound card. Courtney Tune into my show, moopie's mix, every Thursday morning at 2 UTC or 10 PM Eastern on the

Oh i agree and you can even use DSP effects you bought or are free that you put in the audio units folder under your user name. it is just very very good. I wish they would fix the bug where vo is reading the art work instead of the track in the auto mix table but apart from that if you watch

Hi Courtney By devices, I was referring to sound cards. What I said was that we own to imicd, which are Griffin Technologies USB sound devices. It's not essential to use two sound cards. But the problem would then be VoiceOver would go down the pipe as well as your music audio. Gordon On

Not wishing to start a debate as this isn't a Windows group, I think that for what it is, SPL Studio/creator is very expensive indeed. People rave about it but I submit that, if they were to try things like OTS AV DJ Pro Classic, (assuming they insist on working on the dark side), they might

No, that's its weakness. It doesn't allow for spot groups or jingles. We must talk to the developers to see if they plan any such expansion. However, if you're willing to be innovative, there are work-arounds. On 15 Oct 2012, at 17:31, Shaun Oliver blindma...@gmail.com wrote: ok, one thing

What's the best way in Djay if one doesn't have a mixer to successfully do voice breaks in the like? Will get a mixer eventually but if I were on Windows using SPL, it wouldn't need any mixer or anything. I'm just not sure how with Djay and or NiceCast I'd be able to do voice breaks, make Djays

It'd sure be great but I don't think we're going to see accessibility in this application any time soon. So I think we need to proceed down other avenues. I get the impression that, like Parallels Inc., they have no motivation to rewrite their applications merely to support the very small

Hmm. The problem is that the last time I checked, when turning off that mic button, all Djay does is turn the Mic slider to zero. When you turn it on again you have to turn it back up to 100. I wish that when you turned it on the slider would set the volume where you had it before. I failed an
