Digital 1 Audio has announced the release of DJ DEX - The DJ Mixing App for the iPad. The App promises to maintain the core audio DJ mixing features of PCDJ DEX 2, their flagship DJ software for Windows and Mac OS X, while taking full advantage of the touch screen interface.
"DJ DEX is not a DJ game or gimmick, it's the real deal" says Digital 1 Audio's Product Manager, Ryan Sherr. "We made it our mission to include features that seasoned DJ's and hobbyists can really use and rely on in a live mixing environment, leaning on our 13 years of experience in the Pro DJ software field. You can easily sync the beats of two tracks with the press of a button, grab the on--screen waveform and scratch, spin, and tweak. You can really make the music your own, even drop in effects to add that extra layer of excitement to your mix. With a very high resolution GUI, DJ DEX looks brilliant on the new iPad with Retina display, it's candy for your fingertips. While I don't expect DJ DEX to replace high--end DJ software solutions such as our PCDJ DEX 2 any time soon, the App would allow a DJ or Hobbyist to easily tackle most gigs -- from backyard sessions with friends, to small bar or club events. We're really excited to bring DJ DEX to the masses via iTunes".
