Professional or experiences DJs will miss the more advanced features not available in CrossDJ Free. This version doesn't allow recording or the use of midi controllers.

Controls are mapped to your keyboard, although in this version you cannot edit them yourself. We found the beat detection to be as good as most mixing apps - when CrossDJ Free sets the wrong first beat of a bar, it's really easy to correct too. Each deck has cue and play controls, and you can save up to six play locators for each track.īeats per minute are automatically calculated, and can be changed if incorrect. There are quite a lot of controls squeezed into CrossDJ Free's interface, but they are all useful. Above the decks both waveforms are shown together, so you can easily see how beats match up. There are two decks, with waveforms displayed for each. Professional DJ software will also support various DJ controllers, giving the DJ or operator hands-on, tactile control over the software – eliminating the need for a keyboard or mouse (unless you’re doing a song search). Professional software for Disc Jockeys like PCDJ DEX 3 or DEX 3 RE (Red Edition) makes it easy to focus on your clients and your gig, rather than the more tedious technical aspects of mixing music or music videos.With a clear, light grey interface, CrossDJ Free looks good.

In any case, a DJ can focus on these responsibilities and less on the technical aspects of mixing music the more likely the event is to be a success. When DJing a wedding, DJs are also usually called on to be master of ceremonies. DJ mixing software assists the DJ or operator in the technical aspects of the musical or video presentation of items, while allowing the DJ to focus on other important areas. In many cases, the DJ is directly responsible for keeping the crowd entertained and the dance floor packed through skilled song selection and proper microphone use.
