Nieuwe dj software op komst, Deckadance

Geschreven door Reind Dooyeweerd dinsdag, 20 februari 2007 01:38

ImageDat er steeds meer software voor dj gebruik komt is inmiddels geen opzienbarend iets meer, dat er een nieuw programma aan zit te komen welke in staat is te werken met zo'n beetje alle hardware die er op het moment is is wel weer iets nieuws. Op djDecks na ken ik namelijk geen programma wat zoveel ondersteuning bied als het nog te lanceren Deckadance.

Deckadance komt bij hetzelfde bedrijf vandaan welke ook FL Studio ontwikkeld. Helaas ook deze keer geen Mac ondersteuning (staat wel in de planning) wat naar mijn mening een behoorlijke misser is aangezien daar nog flink wat te halen valt. Native Instruments is daar op dit moment met Traktor het enige software bedrijf welke in staat is een fatsoenlijk stukje dj software te maken voor de Mac.
