Anyone DJing with their iPad?

[Grooveguru]

Just picked up an iPad to use to DJ with. Anyone else using theirs for this? Been using iPods and laptops this way for years! Excited to try this!

No, but I'd love to hear how you get on. I've been DJing for 20+ years, and although its now obsolete, I love my Tonium Pacemaker for portable DJing - http://www.pacemaker.net/Products/Pacemaker

The restriction with Apple products tends to be the need for specialist audio interfaces because of the dock connector. As you know, if you are using iPods, this isn't too difficult to overcome in terms of a DJ console, but the iPad being a good bit larger needs a bit more thought.

I saw this a whilst ago, but it is far too cheap / bargain end of the market to be taken seriously - Numark iDJ Live DJ Controller for iPad

Was much more interested in this! Numark Mixdeck Quad Four Deck Digital DJ System

Let us know how you get on! Cheers.

Have done numerous gigs so far using this and it is the cats a$$! Plus it's alot of fun! Next is to go wireless with Airplay and then add a Seagate GoFlex for extra storage!

I use my iPad to control the mixer at my church. It is a big church and we have quite a board.
And of course I play music from it.

How are you controlling your mixer? What app?

Ive been using DJ player as a single deck alongside a pair of cdj's. I like it because it's full screen and has built in effects. I just wish djay would release an update so you could use it full screen. Then I'd buy another and use 2 in conjunction with a mixer and get rid of all physical media. I hate those built in mixers. I need tactile feedback.

StageMix. Only works for the Yamaha M7CL.

This is a nice mixing app, simple yet very effective. Load the track, and the transitions, hit play.

You can change tracks or transitions while it's playing. It's quite nice.
