gareth Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I don't know whether such a thing even exists, but .... Does anyone know of a piece of software that allows the playback of mp3 files in the same manner as the old double-turntable disco consoles? (i.e. cue one up while another is playing, then crossfade between the two, but also with the possibility of playing one on top of the other) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I believe PCDj does that, least if I remember correctly. you can get it here though I seem to recall its a couple of hundred quid for the full version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 In the good ol'days of Winamp 2, you could do this. I'm not sure if theres a similar plugin for Winamp 5, but its worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lightnix Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 A Sound Engineer / DJ friend of mine uses something called "Traktor DJ Studio" a piece of German software by Native Instruments to create his mixes. You can download a demo version (5.4 Mb) from their website. The full version costs €199.00, approximately £135 at today's exchange rate. It's very good, featuring not just the ability to cross fade, but to line up beats as well. You can use it live, or save your mixes for burning onto CD (naughty naughty).

Bryson Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 If you're feeling posh, there's this which is, I understand, very cool indeed. I also think you can get the Traktor DJ thingy for Mac too, if you prefer a platform that's stable... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I've downloaded the demo versions of PCDJ and Traktor, so I just need to find a bit of time to fiddle about with them and work out how to drive them (there are an awful lot of buttons on the screen ...).

Jivemaster Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 There are several MP3 progs on the market PCDJ being a popular one it has a 2U hardware controller just like a twin cd controller or you can use a touchscreen or its keyboard controls PeeCee on several dj forums is an expert and pro user as is Wicked Sounz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Gareth I have all 3 versions of PCDJ, Silver, Blue and Red. I got Silver free with a CD I bought a couple of years ago (Club mix 2002 if you are interested) I have never got round to installing it before <clickety> <click> but now I have it looks like it has all the basic features If all you want is the ability to run 2 mp3's at once and mix them then Silver would do that - and at less than £20 it shouldn't break the bank.

Thats about the best PC DJ software there is availeable. I used it at most of my home parties, and if I have to go somewhere and I can't DJ you can hit AUTOPLAY and it mixes the songs itself...
