Get started DJing with us (with access to free music): DJing Made Easy And even though download stores are still hanging in there, the specialist dance music download stores of interest to DJs can be expensive, especially for those who are just starting out and want to build their collection quickly. And while torrenting or other ways of illegally ripping music certainly haven’t gone away as sources for building a quick DJ collection, they come with legal, ethical and technical pitfalls. Streaming services are even finding their way into DJ software, offering DJs this option too.īut most DJs still want to own their music. Then along came digital and DJs could suddenly download music for free, first with Napster, then a rush of similar sites becoming a huge opportunity for DJs wanting lots of music for nothing, and of course a huge problem for the music industry.īut the music industry has changed fundamentally since then, with the big streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music largely replacing the download sites, for consumers at least, who are happy to pay their $10 a month for anything they could wish to listen to. Once upon a time, all DJ music was bought, in physical formats. Many DJ tools offer more bells and whistles, but DJ Mix Pro's basic layout and features won't let you down when it's loud, dark, and crowded.Įditors' note: This is a review of the trial version of DJ Mix Pro 3.0 build 78.5.Want to legally download music for free for your DJ sets? There are still plenty of places you can do just that, whether to build a collection without spending much money, or to discover something cool that nobody else has got… Bottom LineĭJ Mix Pro stands apart from the crowded field of beat-mixing wares, and not just in looks but functionality. Not a studio console: While DJ Mix Pro is useful on its own, it's not a substitute for a full mixing suite with sliders, scratch pads, effects, and simulated turntable decks. Beatlock options include tempo adjustment, upper and lower bounds, and song history retention. It's easy: Just select tunes in the Database to send or drag to a playlist, play as a jingle, mix with the next tune, and many other actions.Īdvanced controls: Despite its clean look, DJ Mix Pro has a pop-up equalizer and song info windows and expandable advanced controls.īeat-sensing: DJ Mix Pro's built-in Beatlock Technology detects and displays BPM of songs for the easiest possible matching. Prosĭual layout: Separate small windows for DJ Mix Pro's main interface and its Database are a radical departure from the usual gray-black tones and faux-mixing console look of most DJ tools. DJ Mix Pro is an inexpensive mixing tool with some interesting features that make a DJ's job easy, like analyzing files for beats-per-minute (BPM) while playing (so you can match beats and build a playlist as you go) and headphone previews of edits.
