Image Line has updated Deckadance, its DJ mixing application, to version 1.9. This new version includes a complete internal re-write, with the aim of improving beat synchronization throughout the program effects and functions.

Changes include:

• New synchronization engine - Songs are now totally locked in sync for whatever functions are performed within DD. Importantly, Deckadance can now be fully synchronized in other hosts such as Live including BPM & Phase.
• Snap & Quantize buttons - The GUI also gains new 'Snap' and 'Quantize' buttons to make cue point setting and jumps to cue points, seeks in waveforms & exit looping perfect synchronized with the beat.
• Loop settings - Improved to work per-beat rather than per-bar. This means faster, tighter repeats are now possible.
• Song manager - The song manager (SM) is now fully integrated into Deckadance. You can detach the SM window, great for multi-monitor setups. The SM includes iTunes integration for drag-&-drop between SM and iTunes. Import playlists and more.
• File Browser - A new File Browser replaces the old one. Designed for improved integration, searches and working with your files in Deckadance.
• Options & Setup - All setup and options have been organised into a unified tabbed system. Spend less time searching and more time tweaking options.
