Ideal for beginners and DJ pros Creating new DJ sets is especially difficult for beginners. With its mufin technology, MAGIX Digital DJ offers a unique function that helps in the selection of fitting songs! This way, the excitement of DJing stays at the forefront, and time-consuming search for new songs is no longer necessary. The unique mufin technology... The mufin technology analyzes music on your hard disk for its audio characteristics. New music that fits well to the current song is suggested for play. All found tracks will be visible at a glance, sorted according to similarity inside a list. Practical! For the mufin technology, only the sound is of essence, so any song can be used as a starting song, even your own music! Create playlists and fill up your playlists & DJ sets with the best songs Playlists & DJ sets can be compiled quickly & intuitively The best DJs create their sets ahead of time and save these as playlists in order to be able to concentrate on just mixing. With MAGIX Digital DJ, you can easily add any songs on your hard disk to a playlist. It is possible to create, save and replay (for example at the next birthday party or at a BBQ) various sets in just seconds! Song preview function and "beat matching" Using the preview function*, you can quickly and easily test whether the selected title fits to the current song and can be integrated into the open set. Your audience doesn't hear beat matching of songs and testing of various effects - the DJ can preview everything through his headphones, and the dance floor keeps moving from one perfect transition to the next. Handy browser and search function To help you quickly orient inside even a big music collection with many albums, songs and remixes, the intuitive browser offers access to all music titles on the hard drive. Additionally, thanks to the quick search function, fitting songs for a set or a spontaneous switch in the mix may be found quickly. * See system requirements Start making your own DJ mix using music from iTunes®! iTunes® view* This useful view visualizes music just like in a typical iTunes® layout and lets you mix music from the iTunes® database without any detours directly in MAGIX Digital DJ! The song views and playlists may be manipulated in a normal way. Titles may placed into the decks or added to playlists simply using drag and drop. Access to all iTunes® playlists* Those who have already spent time arranging their favorite music into iTunes® playlists, will be glad to know that iTunes® playlists are displayed and songs may be quickly imported from them; this saves time and lets you start DJing and mixing your favorite tracks right away! * See system requirements DJ software with AutoMix Party non-stop with AutoMix Party non-stop with just one click! The integrated AutoMix function automatically plays all songs from one playlist, mixes the tracks with each other and delivers hours or perfectly mixed music – without any interventions by a DJ. The playlist can be played from start to finish or in shuffle mode. PLUS! The duration of transitions can be set and altered at any time. DJ style & bass fade With its DJ style function, the AutoMix lets tracks seamlessly mix into each other on the beat. There are no pauses and the crowd can keep dancing, as if with a professional DJ! PLUS! Bass X-Fade function: Bass frequencies will appear and disappear on their own. Seamless transitions and beat-precise mixing Precise beat & tempo recognition Wearisome listening to determine the rhythm and beat of a song are a thing of the past! MAGIX Digital DJ automatically recognizes the beat and tempo of all songs. The speed and pitch of any two songs can be matched to each other with one click to ensure a perfect transition – ideal for beginners! Handy peak visualization Peakscope lets you keep your eye on the mix and stay on the beat! Visualization in the peakscope helps find quick and easy transitions and synchronize tracks with each other. Always stay on the right beat - thanks to the master tempo The master tempo determines the tempo of a DJ set, if desired, so that the DJ software can orient on the current master tempo during synchronization of various songs from the playlist, letting the overall mix never get faster or slower. This feature helps DJs to avoid making drastic tempo jumps within a set and to ensure an overall consistent mix, e.g. in DJ style. Match the playback tempo or pitch An important DJ tool: Pitch fader DJs need the pitch function to make sure that songs with different tempo or pitch are made to match one another for good playback. MAGIX Digital DJ has a pitch fader in each of its two decks - easy to access and intuitive to use, the optimal DJ tool! PLUS! Smoothly adjust track tempo Useful: Keep pitch When mixing different songs, it can happen that the tempo of one track must be adjusted, and changing the tempo also changes the pitch. This can sometimes cause unpleasant and undesired distortions, nicknamed "Mickey Mouse sounds". The key-lock button helps in these cases - when it is activated, the pitch remains constant when the song tempo changes. When it is deactivated, the track's pitch also changes. TIP! This function can be used creatively during DJing. Your own remixes complete with loops, scratches & samples Remix with the realtime sampler MAGIX Digital DJ offers manifold innovative functions that let you express yourself when DJing With the built-in realtime sampler you can load up to eight samples or loops at a time and mix them to the playing track in realtime. The sampler is ideally suited to add your own or one or several already included sounds to any number of songs and create your own remix versions! Chop up audio with the Relooper Another impressive tool for creating suspense and dramatic breaks in playing songs is the Relooper. A playing song is broken up into individual pieces, re-combined and played back as a loop - it's the easiest way to creatively influence a mix! Loop function The loop function can be used to repeat sections of a song in various lengths. This way, suspense can be created before a break or an especially catchy part of a song may be repeated again and again. It is possible to vary the length of the loop from 8 full beats to 1/32 of a beat and to set in- and out- points by hand. PLUS! Leap function: Repeat parts of a song and then set back to the current playback position. Mix effects for real DJ sound 3-band equalizer with kill function The EQ is the best tool for preparing the sound of a song for the mix in the best possible way; here you can easily adjust the high, middle and low frequencies of a song. The extremely handy band kill function even makes it possible to turn each of the three bands on or off with a simple click. Additionally, you can use this function as an exciting effect during mixing. Additional precise DJ tools For those who want to make more out of their DJ mixes, will find a large selection of precise DJ tools and effects. • Bit Crusher: reduces the audio material's quality to create a popular electronic sound • Filter functions: various filters for exciting effects (low pass, band pass, notch, comb & phaser) • Cue marker: selects parts of songs which can then be directly controlled and played back • Reverb, or echo effect Equalizer and the effects can be easily controlled and customized via the effect matrix.
