Often the warm up bit to my nights is in the order of 2 - 2.5 hours. I normally start at 7pm in the local wmc but the party doesn't get going until post buffet 930.
I am looking for some good software that can use early doors either on my Mac OSX or on my iPad
I like to play a mixture of tracks and be able to chop and change easily the playlist according to the feel of the night as sometimes I don't get an idea of what they want until I can see who is there.
I like to just let the computer crossfade between the tracks rather than leave gaps and my biggest problem is that the crossfade is often rubbish. They often cut off the sharp endings on some tracks and on others there will be gaps because they often work on timing rather than the musical content. This is certainly what Traktor does and iTunes pretty much the same
The only decent software I have trialed is Mixmeister which I have played with but this is expensive, infrequently updated and now owned by numark :eek: And all I can see they have done is bought out IDJ for the iPad which works, but is very clunky if you want to chop and change tracks.
So, what else is out there for the iPad or OSX?
