Musik Messe 2008 - DJAY [mac dj software]

Geschreven door Reind Dooyeweerd zondag, 16 maart 2008 19:06

Iets wat ik tegen kwam op de Musik Msse en ook mijn aandacht trok was de DJAY software. DJ software voor op de mac en in tegenstelling tot veel andere pakketten geen ondersteuning voor timecode vinyl maar een simpel dj programma met de broodnodige functies welke aan te sturen zijn met een midi controller zoals de VCI-100 van Vestax en het meest interessante moet nog komen... de prijs want die is namelijk laag. Voor 40 euro ben je namelijk eigenaar van dit stukje software.
