This App definitely has a few flaws. But over all its amazing. I almost cant believe these guys created this!!! Ive been DJing and producing for over 20 years. Although i own over 30,000 records (yes vinyl), Im a Serato user now and this definitely works as a lil transitional tool while im plugging in. Yeah you can obvioulsly just throw a cd on, but this is about a million times cooler. Plus just looking at the other DJs face while you use it is priceless.
Although im sure you guys at Quickdecay are aware of some of the necessary improvements, I thought I would list a couple of key/important fixes/adjustments.
1. Obviously the scrathing is completely off and inaccurate. ( I dont really expect to scratch with this, but hilarious thats it was even worked in ) If you guys actually get this to work... I might fall over. LOL
*****2. Most importantly, the pitch control slider needs to be flipped. Pitch presently increses up and decreses down. That is not the stardard on any equipment in the DJ or production industry. Its the opposite. Faster pitch needs to be slider down and slower up. Please correct that. Driving me a lil crazy ;)
3. Im sure you guys are well aware... but you really need to switch to full MP3 implementation. Nearly every digital DJ uses MP3 exclusively. I had no problem converting to Ogg/Vorbis but that might be a lil out of the scope of the average dj limited computer skills. More importantly, you really dont want to lose any more quality by having to use another conversion.
4. Effects can use a lot of improvement. However, very cool that you included them. Im sure they will get much better.
5. Aside from the pitch facing the wrong direction, its sensitivity needs to be toned way down. Jumps too far too quickly. Ive gotten pretty good at using it a bit more percisely, but still pretty difficult to adjust subtlely.
ALL OF THIS ASIDE!
I serioulsy commend you guys on a great app. I very much look forward to any and all fixes or upgrades that might be coming in what is hopefully the near future ;)
If you DJ get this App. Nothing will compare. This thing is basically a digital Technics 1200 the size of a credit card! Not perfect, but it will impress u and blow people away when you show it to them!!!
Thanks to the guys a Quickdecay. Out of about 100 apps ive purchased, this one has been the most impressive and fun.
