Dedicated DJ programs are designed to lift your parties
to a new level. Many of these programs are FREE. These programs can
installed and used separately, but when
used collectively they form a highly integrated collection of control tools
that meld music, images, video and lighting into a seamless presentation.
From the simplest to the most complex party, show or presentation you can
easily control the content, timing and pace. Your guests or patrons will
appreciate the smooth non-stop flow of your well coordinated and feature
packed events.
Developed for ballroom and dance studios
this suite of programs has found many other applications also. The two main components
Dancing DJ and
Teacher DJ share the same music
library but serve different audiences.
Teacher DJ was designed to give
teachers and students quick and easy access to music with little or no
training. Teachers have long appreciated its ability to control the music tempo,
loop and queue their music. Several ballrooms and studios have reported
over 250,000 hits on this program.
Dancing DJ is a professional DJ program designed to give
a DJ exacting
control over the music and other event elements. Parties can be built
and tested using extended playlist capabilities or served up on-the-fly. Extensive
lookup capabilities will allow instant music queuing from even the largest
libraries. With integrated video capabilities the DJ or management can easily add video or images to the mix
such as artist video or image, featured upcoming events, etc. Ballroom
dancers have long appreciated the integrated Marquee which displays the
upcoming dances as well as the programs ability to trim music to preset
limits and set precise tempi. Dancers have often voted
Dedicated DJ as the #1 DJ in town.
With it's extensive capabilities Dancing DJ rivals the most powerful
music players on the market.
The third main element of this suite is the
Music Organizer (MO)
, a
collection of tools that assemble and manage even the largest, most demanding
music library. Two recent tools the
Crawler and
iTunes2ddj now augment the MO
assisting
with the loading of music.
iTunes2DDJ
was designed specifically for users of iTunes and will sync your iTunes
playlists to the
ddj Suite. Getting started has never been easier.
This lighting controller is suitable for novices and professionals
alike. It offers all the manual control of traditional consoles extended
over all 512 DMX channels. In addition it has many design features that
allow it to handle a wide variety of demanding lighting issues such as chase
lighting, synching lighting to music, stage and show control and even timed events. Test drive
this program and see how easy it can be to add lighting to your party.
Being your own DJ couldn't be easier. High quality music can be reliably
streamed over the internet to start your party rolling from any
location. This concept requires that the music/video stream be pre-captured
and works best when the video demand is not high such as with the ddj Marquee
(see
One-Click
examples). We recommend this only for low risk situations but it has
preformed admirably in several emergencies.
The
promise is that in one hour, from a dead start, you will be ready to DJ
your party.
You will be using your music, your playlist and you will be in full control.
To start, simply download and install the
ddj Suite and either the
Crawler
or
iTunes2ddj. Installation is quick and the music on your computer will automatically be
discovered and placed on a playlist and instantly available and ready to use by the ddj
players.
After your music is captured you need a playlist. Simply select your music
and set the play order. While you dress for the evening set your computer on 20s scan and make a few adjustments
like volume, tempo or song limits. Now go to your party, plug in and enjoy. Dedicated DJ can take it from here.
