Mad Decent responds to Paul van Dyk and Deadmau5 iPhone apps with their Own
OH man, there is an all out market now on DJ apps from different labels and artists. Mad Decent released theirs back in January apparantly and it has the ability to trigger sound effects. It's pretty much just something to either annoy the hell out of people, or be really useful for sound drops during a DJ set. "Demo" by label-head Diplo himself on the video above.
Man, there are more and more interesting iPhone apps coming out. I think this is honestly the first time that professional DJs are doing some legit celebrity endorsements with some quality products. And now, every trance fan's god, Paul van Dyk, has his own app on the iPhone as well.
The app looks pretty useful from the demo PvD himself gives above. The thing has noise level meters (which may or may not work due to the crappy iPhone microphones), a BPM counter, a frequency analyzer that works through the mic (again dunno how that will work).
However the coolest feature has to be the Seismic Reader which lets you place the iPhone/iPod touch on your turntable and see the vibrations coming in so that you can set up Serato or Final Scratch up properly.
Oh and the thing has a virtual glowstick and a flashlight. Go figure.
We don't know when it's coming out or it's price, but I would guess it would be under $12.
