Being a DJ is easy. You just play other people’s songs at parties and then some Las Vegas promoter finds your Soundcloud and gives you a residency at Caesar’s Palace. After that, you just hang out in Ibiza and start a line of sunglasses. Okay, maybe it's not that easy. But performing tools have gotten pretty exemplary, at the very least making live mixing easier.
Case in point: DJ Mixer Pro offers a sophisticated interface for mixing tracks and video clips live. With accurate pitch and speed shifting and automatic key- and beat-detection, you can make seamless transitions on the fly. Four different decks let you cue up songs and crossfade between them at any time for complex, layered mixes. It even supports simulated vinyl effects, letting you add some turntablism to a live set.
Whether you want to be the next Frankie Knuckles or just want to bring some flair to your karaoke party, this application has everything you need to make the floor bounce. Available for Windows and Mac, you can pick up DJ Mixer Pro for $39.95—69% off the usual price.
