Djay pro ai ipad2/18/2023 It may have taken a little longer than I thought, but this video proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is. The iPad is a more than viable DJing platformĪt launch, I predicted that the iPad would become a viable DJ tool. Side note - one of the first tracks I put through djay Pro AI when I first had a play was the same Guns N Roses track. ![]() His brain and hands are working together and yet independently on so many levels.Īs someone who routinely has to shoot djay promo videos, I’m in absolute awe of what he’s doing here, not just from a technical perspective, but also a musical one too. Imagine if you tried to cram so much of a performance into such a small time frame and condensed workspace. Look at how much Angelo is actually doing. “It does it all for you” or “you just press a button” are common knee jerk comments that get rolled out for each and every advancement in DJ tech. It clearly demonstrates that human skills do and always will be the biggest part of being a DJ Give it a couple of years and you won’t know how you lived without it. VirtualDJ has already released an update that brings controls to tweak the crossover between stems. The crowd won’t notice the things that you do and will only dance harder at the new tricks that you weren’t able to pull off before.Īnd it can only get better. But knowing that more controlled listening with headphones would highlight the deficiencies in the tech, I donned my trusty HD25s for a more critical spin.īar the odd isolated soft sound, this more than proved to me that on a dancefloor this is ready to be used in a professional environment. When I listened to the set through for the first time, it sounded excellent. Yes, both VirtualDJ and djay’s separation tech is in its infancy and when listened to in great detail via audiophile headphones through an expensive sound system in a silent treated environment soon shows just how early it is.īut the real proof of the pudding is in the… um… DJing. When new tech comes out, we all have a habit of drilling down and making observations based on either no experience or in overly controlled ways. It’s a cracking showcase of djay’s new Neural Mix source separation technology ![]() Each one on its own is probably worthy of a longer piece, but this feels like the perfect opportunity to cover off a lot in one related flow of words. Having got that out of the way first, let’s take a look at the key positive points that this performance delivers. Djay needs to deliver that to get wider acceptance with the naysayers. There is an expectation that DJs will look and perform in a particular way. The actual musical performance might be first-class (and this definitely is), but we’re rather more accustomed to DJs not only playing the tunes but also providing visual hype through their own stage presence.įor me, the way around it is to use more hardware, and have djay and its ilk hook up to more external devices, leaving the iPad (or even iPhone) as the brains and screen and have the usual physical boxes deliver the control to the DJ. Angelo is where he is today because he knows how to rock a crowd.īut in a wider sense, I don’t believe anyone wants to watch DJs hunched over iPads with all their focus applied to an A4 sized screen in a club or at a festival. ![]() It’s not about Angelo’s screen presence (although I’m digging the new haircut sir) and is all about showing djay at work. This one has clearly been made to demonstrate the mix in a very obvious way that’s easy to follow. The visual performance or lack thereofįirstly this is not a criticism of this video but more the wider point it brings up. But writing as I do, I’ll address the only negative that I see as I know it’ll be thrown right at me in the comments. So imagine my delight/anger/awe/envy when DJ Angelo‘s seemingly effortless demo of djay Pro AI’s Neural Mix tech hit my social streams.Īside from posting this as something for you to enjoy, this video has so many layers for me, all of which are worthy of discussion. But when it comes to actually shooting the sets, even the shortest of tricks can take a long time for me to get right. But I’m merely an average DJ and never feel like what I create will be good enough. ![]() As the guy who makes Algoriddim’s promo videos for djay, I’m often asked to create very short sets.
