![]() ![]() It was ready to go right off the bat and I must say that this is a powerful DJ software, since everything is going digital anyways this is an investment that you might want to look into if you are thinking of becoming a DJ. This software worked great and I didn’t have to configure a single thing, just installed it and started it up. The manual is actually pretty easy to understand, some parts of it drag out and can get boring but you probably wont need those parts. Plus, through Image Line you can set up a user account and get all free updates on this and other products that they offer and download them right out of your account right to your computer without a problem. Getting started was easy and happened in a flash, I downloaded it right to my windows computer and ran it right away and had no issues at all with this program. I must say it was well worth the purchase and I have no regrets. I had to purchase the full version after giving the Demo a shot. You have complete full control of the mixing with Deckadance. Don’t think just because its on a computer you wont have the feel of real hardware equipment because Deckadance left me in aw after trying out the Demo version of this software. So anyone wanting to DJ from there computer needs to go try this out. We’ll watch this closely, for sure.Image Line’s Deckadance is like a virtual DJ software. ![]() And an open DJ app could finally free the full-time DJs from reliance on hardware/software platforms, at just the right moment as Final Scratch customers got burned by the Native Instruments – Stanton divorce. A full-featured DJ plug-in that works inside other apps means you can add DJ sets to your existing live sets, scratch during a performance … the lines between DJing and performance continue to blur. If the performance aspect is there, and if this thing has a similarly powerful workflow and rock-solid stability like it’s sequencer brethren Fruity Loops, I think Traktor (and DJ Decks, and Torq, and everything else) is in for some serious competition.Įd.: This is just the sort of thing we’ve been waiting for. No release date has been set, although Image-Line says it’s coming “real soon”. The only glaring omission I see so far is a lack of support for FLAC files (although it does support MP3, WAV and Ogg), but I’m sure we’ll see that in a future version. With the availability of Image-Line’s Poizone and Toxic III soft synths for OS X, perhaps it’s not as big a surprise as it would have been a few years ago, but it’s nice to see ImageLine pushing forward with multiple OS support (I’m guessing that a Linux/Jack port is further down the line :-). Most surprisingly, it says that a Mac / Audio Units version is planned, in addition to the current Windows version. Capable of learning new vinyl control systems.Supports Final Scratch, Serato Scratch, MixVibes and (our favorite) Ms Pinky vinyl.8-slot sampler that samples from the decks.Here’s a run-down of some of the more notable features: DeckaDance seems to have everything we’ve ever wanted in a DJ application, and not only does it support several different types of control vinyl, it actually has a learn mode to adapt itself to new types! Add the fact that it’s a VST host capable of hosting both effects AND instruments, and is capable of operating as a VST plugin as well, and I think we have something that will truly change the face of DJing (unlike some other recent products). We here at CDM love applications that don’t tie you into a specific controller/hardware/control vinyl solution. The creators of Fruity Loops aka FL Studio (Image Line software) have just announced a new DJ application called DeckaDance, and this thing looks like the answers to our prayers. ![]()
