Touch DJ by Amidio Inc is apparently now for sale, and is claiming to be the first and only real MP3 DJ mixing app available for the iPhone. It offers realtime independent manipulation of 2 MP3/M4A files, including scratching, looping, positioning, equalization, effects and and pitching.
Traditionally iPhone and iPod Touch have only one stereo audio output which broadens the possibility of using them as a DJ device. Touch DJ overcomes this limitation by offering innovative and unique way of deejaying which doesn’t require additional headphones for prelistening to the tracks.
The technology is called “visual mixing” and it places the graphic display of the track waveforms next to each other. The low-bass (kick) parts are detected and rendered in different color compared to the rest sonic frequencies, making beatmatching as easy as adjusting the tracks position and pitch so that the kick parts become visually matched. Simple, but devastatingly effective!
As a former DJ myself, I can say there is sound logic here, and I can’t wait to get my paws on it and review it! In the meantime you can find it on the Apple Store by searching for Touch DJ, and then paying £11.99 to download it.
