Dec 27, 2016 iTunes/Apple Music Tracks greyed out and unplayable in a DJ app (this is djay Pro in iPhone). MegaSeg changes all of this – at least, on the Mac, which is what the software is made for.

Algoriddim's new djay for iOS has moved to a subscription model, and includes beat-matching, A12 Bionic machine learning, plus iPad Pro USB-C support.


Algoriddim has been making djay for iPad, iPhone, and Mac for eight years, winning Apple Design Awards and being featured in Apple Keynotes along the way. The new version is a unified one across all of Apple's iOS hardware, with a bunch of new features added, and older ones improved.

The app launches in Classic Mode, with two turntables and a mixer. Load up two songs and mix between them, and virtual grooves are drawn on the screen so you can identify the breaks in the music. You can apply one of five free effects to either track.
The simplest way to mix is Automix mode. In Automix mode, you view all your tracks, and with one tap, djay mixes all of them with optimal transition points using machine learning and the 'AI Automix engine.'

The new version also has Spotify integration, giving you access to a huge library of songs if you're a Spotify subscriber. The integration allows users to match songs that go well with what's currently playing, and provide a list of matching songs based on danceability, BPM, key, and music style. It's also able to save songs to Spotify collections and playlists from within djay.
If you have a Pioneer, Reloop, or Mixtour controller, djay is able to work with it immediately. All these features are free, where different versions of djay used to be paid-for apps.
What's different now is that djay is moving to a subscription model, and unlocking pro features with the subscription. In addition to the supported controllers in the free level, a paid subscription unlocks support for over 50 MIDI controllers from Pioneer DJ, Reloop, Numark, Denon DJ, and others. It also adds an advanced MIDI learn system to map each control on users' hardware individually and enables support for Bluetooth MIDI.
Subscription also unlocks unlimited access to a 1GB library of samples, loops, FX, and visuals with content provided by Loopmasters, Future Loops, DocOptic, Sugar Bytes, and others, and a looper and sequencer, so you can begin performing tracks in addition to mixing and spinning. Users who want to make it into a performance can load up the grid-based Looper with up to 48 loops, and djay will time-stretch them and match them to the beat in real-time.

A pro subscription also turns on video mixing, with output support to external displays. There's a library of visualizers in djay that work with this feature. If you have a new iPad Pro with USB-C, you can use external displays and be connected to DJ hardware at the same time.

Turning on the subscription also enables an advanced media library with playlist editing and management, smart filters, and iOS drag and drop integration with the Files app and Dropbox.

Djay takes advantage of the power of the A12 Bionic processor. Every sample in the new looper can be assigned a video clip that plays in time with the audio. With the power of the A12 Bionic chip, you can now mix up to ten videos in real-time, right on the iOS device.

Earlier, we mentioned the Automix AI engine. An AI is only as good as the training that gives it the data to work with. Here, Algoriddim trained the AI using training sets from human DJs.
Automix AI intelligently identifies rhythmic patterns and the best intro and outro sections of songs. It then calculates optimal fade durations and automatically applies parameter changes to EQs and filters for a seamless transition. Users can fully customize their preferred mix settings and start the automix with a single tap.

djay also now includes Ableton Link, a protocol Ableton developed that allows apps from multiple vendors to all sync up to the same beat on a shared Wi-Fi network. Inclusion of Ableton Link means you can use djay to jam with friends using desktops or compatible mobile apps, and your djay beats will play in tempo with the their applications.

The new version of djay is available now on the App Store for free, and comes with a seven-day trial of all pro features.
Upgrading to a pro subscription for all the sounds, visuals, and other features is priced at $4.99 a month. Existing customers who purchased a version of djay in the past on iOS are eligible for an entire year's subscription for $9.99 —$30 off the standard pricing, or a year for two month's price.
The new djay for iOS is compatible with any iPhone or iPad running iOS 11.2 or later.

Lesser-known Mac DJ app MegaSeg has become the first DJ app that lets you DJ with all your music in iTunes – whether that’s your own music files or music you’ve added to your library as part of an Apple Music subscription.

This development blurs to the point of it not mattering the distinction between music you own and music you effectively “rent” via Apple Music – at least for MegaSeg users who manage their music in iTunes.

And while MegaSeg is not a mainstream player among our audience (it’s nonetheless a long-standing program, majoring on audio and video mixing and music automation for hospitality, radio and so on – although it does have features aimed at mobile and club DJs), notwithstanding any legal or licensing issues this could be the start of a similar change across all DJ programs.

Were this to happen, it could even herald iTunes coming in from the cold (having become increasingly less appealing as a music management choice for DJs – thanks in part to its clunky integration of Apple Music, alongside the general bloat it has suffered over the years).

So what exactly has changed?

Tracks you add to your iTunes library from Apple Music (remember, the Apple Music streaming service is built right in to iTunes, unlike standalone services like Spotify) show right there in iTunes, alongside your local music – which for consumers is great. (Indeed, we predict most consumers won’t even bother buying music very soon.)

Apple Music also offers you the choice of downloading your favourite tracks from the streaming service to your local iTunes copy, so you can play them without being connected to the internet.

This latter feature would potentially be perfect for DJs wanting to play such music, because once they’re there in iTunes, to all intents and purposes, they are no different from bought tracks (as long as you keep up your Apple Music subscription, of course).

The trouble is, that’s where the good news ends for DJs, as those Apple Music tracks simply don’t show in DJ apps, meaning you can’t play them there (it’s even that way in Algoriddim’s DJ apps, despite that company being very close to Apple). And while some DJ apps do have streaming service built in (Serato DJ and rekordbox DJ have Pulselocker, the aforementioned Algoriddim goes with Spotify), it’s not as convenient for DJs who already have and use iTunes for local music.

So what’s changed is that MegaSeg treats those Apple Music tracks just like local music – they are right there alongside your local tracks in the software’s library.

And while we haven’t had a chance to test this yet, MegaSeg’s developer tells us: “Yes, MegaSeg can play downloaded Apple Music tracks. We’re working on tighter integration, but it’s very workable.”

Would you like to see a similar function integrated into your choice of DJ software? Are you a MegaSeg user who uses this feature? Please let us know your thoughts in the comments.
