Dec 24, 2016  Algoriddim’s djay Pro has Spotify built in so you can DJ with a choice of millions of tracks. So why, asks our reader today, can’t you then record those mixes? Digital DJ Tips reader Germain writes: “Question: I want to record a mix using music from a Spotify playlist in Algoriddim’s djay Pro software. Jul 14, 2014 Ableton Push is an excellent controller/instrument for use in the studio. However, you can also use it when DJing as Tadhg Leonard demonstrates in part 1 of 3 in this mini series. As wonderful as Push is for both Studio Production and Live Performance, it is fair to say that it's not tailored to those who want to use a traditional DJing setup. Sep 15, 2017  In this series of videos I look at how we can use Ableton Live to create and perform a DJ set. In this part I look at importing and warping songs so they follow the master tempo of the project. If you want to load a track, just select it and push 'load to Deck 1 or 2'.In the settings you have to set the Mixer Mode to External and Deck 1 to Ch 1-2/ Deck 2 to Ch 3-4, so you can simply use the Mixer from the XDJ-XZ.

We’ve seen time and again in the music industry how streaming services are taking over – but in the DJ world, owning your own music has stayed the norm. Today Ean takes a closer look at how Algoriddim’s djay Pro could be changing that, testing the app and its integration with Spotify.

  • Software: djay Pro for Mac
  • Price: $49.99
  • Availability: On the Mac Store
  • Requirements: To get Spotify integration working, you’ll need Spotify Premium ($9.99/month)

Overall the app is very sophisticated for what many have viewed traditionally as a basic DJ application – with advanced features like MIDI mapping, X/Y effects (with more effects from Sugarbytes available to purchase as well), and four decks of control. It’s all around fairly impressive – watch the video above to get Ean’s take.

Our journey so far

When we launched the first version of djay back in 2006, it was completely free as we wanted to remove any barriers whatsoever for casual music listeners to embrace the art of DJing. This had a profound impact on DJing for years to come.

As our user base grew and as users grew with our app, they started to need more advanced features. We listened to our users’ feedback and took djay to retail in 2007 as a $50 purchase available through our online store and as a CD/boxed software in physical stores (djay was originally printed on CDs and sent across the globe.. we’ve come a long way!). A considerable number of users of the free version updated right when we announced the $50 upgrade. We were blown away by the loyal support of these early adopters.

Those users helped bootstrap Algoriddim and it has allowed us to continuously improve and expand our app. We have stayed independent ever since, thanks to the millions of djay users around the world, who have contributed to the global phenomenon that djay is today.

Why have we made djay free with an optional subscription?

With smartphones and tablets being so ubiquitous now, we want to once again open up DJing to even more people than ever before. We decided to make djay a free download again. Moreover, in the same way that djay made mixing music accessible to the masses, we wanted to do the same for creating music… music production relies on access to an extensive library of content.

For a high quality and seamless experience we have licensed content from world-class artists and labels. Moving to in-app subscription gives us an easy way to add more packs, more sounds, more videos, in a way that ensures everyone has access to the same downloads, without further cost barrier. Customers pay monthly to access every official download as they’re added.

No more paid upgrades

In the past, we would release one major update every two to three years, as a paid upgrade or new app. Since the App Store (the main distribution channel to purchase our apps) didn’t provide a way to distinguish between new and existing customers there was no way we could reward existing users for their loyalty any more.

While we published constant smaller updates throughout the year, this long release cycle meant we would also have to hold back major features for the next major release, resulting in a sometimes long wait to include them. With the new subscription model, our team can now focus on making the existing version the best product with every innovation going directly into the product as soon as it’s ready.

Over the years we have built eight different versions of djay and vjay on the iOS App Store alone, and we couldn’t even offer cross-grade between the apps: customers had to buy the apps on both iPhone and iPad individually, and pay for add-ons such as effects separately. With this new release of djay, we wanted to simplify the process and unify the brand. With the free download, users that choose to subscribe only pay as long as they need to use the app, and don’t have to worry about different features or versions of the app across all of their iOS devices.

Subscription provides ongoing value

The change to subscriptions allows us to offer a free trial before customers choose to spend money. In the past, the iOS apps were full price before even being able to try. And unlike the traditional model on desktop where you offer demo versions with stripped down functionality (thanks to the old shareware mindset of the 1990s), the free trial implemented as part of the subscription model on the App Store allows you to use the full experience for a full week. It’s the ultimate try before you buy experience!
