How to DJ With a MacBook (3 Steps)


Djay is a downloadable DJ software program for Mac OS X that uses your iTunes library to let you cue up songs, create endless loops and seamlessly fade and transition between songs. The interface is designed to visually simulate the classic 'two turntables and a microphone' setup of an old school DJ. Choose a song from your iTunes library and Djay will begin to a play the song, allowing you to loop a beat at any point in the song, match tempo and beats with another song cued up, and fade between the two with an easy to use interface. The program has an auto pilot function, which mixes music and playlists automatically, and has a record function for recording mixes and podcasts.
Ask The DJ is a free automatic DJ program available for download that uses iTunes to create hours of uninterrupted play, based off of keywords you type into the engine. Ask The DJ scans your iTunes library, analyzing tracks for similar genres and beat patterns, then matches and mixes beats, as well as synchs volume level to create a seamless, continuous groove. As Ask The DJ is a very 'hands off' program, it is excellent for occasions where you don't want to have a live DJ or worry about changing records yourself.
AccuBeat Mix is an simple, easy to use beat and mix software application for Mac that is available as a download from the internet. The program allows users to mix and match beats seamlessly, manually or automatically. Though it lacks some of the fun, visual features of a program like Djay, it is available as a free demo, and the entire program can be purchased for cheap.
