Touch DJ – Be Fatboy Slim with this new iPhone App
Perhaps you are growing tired listening to the same old playlist, or maybe you are growing tired of your same old Apple iPhone Apps. Perhaps you have been sitting on a bus, or heard a song on the radio and had that Eureka moment, when you realise you, yes you, can improve a song, and even, make a new one by mixing it with another.
Well now you have a chance to do exactly that. For $19.99 (£15), you can download the new Touch DJ Program App from Amidio, and have a go at mixing some tunes from the comfort of your iPhone.
The whole thing revolves around “visual mixing” which involves a lot of tapping and sliding, but with a bit of practise the following effects can be achieved:
- Looping
- Scratching
- Positioning
- Equalization
- Effects and pitching
Though you will not get the same results from hi-tech DJ Equipment, you can carry it in your pocket, is considerably cheaper, and if you are truly rubbish at it, you will not have wasted immense amounts of money. It is also more portable than a drum kit.
The flaw with the App, is that you can not import songs from your iTunes library straight into it, but instead, you have to reload them into the App’s library, which seems a little daft.
Still, for a bit of mixing fun, or indeed a new single, the Touch DJ Program App is both unique and appealing in equal measure.
This video should give you an idea of what it is like in action.
