BPM Supreme’s in-house expert, Raj Thomas, recently had the chance to check out djay Pro 2, the next generation of Algoriddim’s multiple award-winning DJ software. It has new features like artificial intelligent DJ mixing, beat-matched photos and an improved interface to make mixing with iTunes and Spotify even easier.

I made a DJay Pro 2 mapping for XDJ 1000mk2. I couldn't find any way to make these players work with djay so I made a mapping. I would love to hear changes or improvements. These players are a year old and still no support from DJay. This method isn't optimal like HID would be. But it works pretty good on a basic controller like level. Jan 15, 2018  Bottom line, djay Pro 2 is a great program! For the price point and cool features that djay pro 2 has, I’d say it definitely stacks up against the competition. If you’re looking for a forward-thinking and user-friendly way to mix and create your DJ sets, djay Pro 2 is a perfect option.”. Djay Pro supports a wide range of DJ MIDI controllers natively (plug & play) out of the box. Please see our list of natively supported MIDI controllers to check if your controller is already supported in djay. If you have a MIDI controller that is currently not natively supported by djay Pro, you can still use it with djay's easy-to-use MIDI Learn feature. Pioneer XDJ-RX2 Mapping for Djay Pro. Hello, i have done a really fast mapping for the new Pioneer XDJ-RX2 and Djay Pro 1.4.4 on Mac OS High Sierra! I've made a mapping Djay Pro to work with xdj rx. I've managed to mapp as much as i could, the only thing that i didn't manage to mapp was the jog led's and the level vu meters of the channels and the master level.I hope u like this mapping.

“Recently I was able to get my hands on Algoriddim djay Pro 2. When it comes to DJ software, there are usually two programs that come to mind for me – Serato DJ and Traktor. For a third option, Virtual DJ is a solid go-to program as well. When I had the chance to use djay Pro 2 both at home and out at gigs, I found more pros than cons, and ended up having a good time with it.

Sound quality
The New Audio Engine pleasantly surprised me. It sounds really great! No dropouts during built-in stand alone playback, and also no problems when using my compatible DJ controller.

X-Y Effects Control
I love the ability to control the FX in an X-Y performance pad type of layout. This allows for more expression with parameters than traditional knobs – especially if you’re performing with just a computer and no controller.

Compatible Controllers
There are a vast amount of compatible controllers from all price ranges that natively work with djay Pro 2. The company seems very active in keeping up with the new hardware coming out from manufacturers.

Macbook Pro TouchBar Compatible
Very surprised to see some useful features programmed into the debatably gimmicky touchbar of the new Macbook Pro. I usually don’t use my touchbar but using it with djay Pro 2 was pretty fun.

Images in Video Mode
The PhotoBeat feature is great to have if you are DJing with video and don’t have every video you need. Instead you can display images, such as a flyer for an upcoming event. PhotoBeat also allows you to have a nice visual slideshow with effects should you just want a theme of images playing on the screen. Great for weddings!

Beautiful Design
Have to mention the design aspect of djay Pro 2. It’s definitely ahead of the curve when comparing to competition.

No Controller Needed
This software is ready to go when you are. Whether you perform using only a laptop, or maybe you want to test mixes out without setting up all your gear, just open up the software and have fun!

Automix AI
Automatic DJ mixes based on artificial intelligence is a pretty cool feature. I think it would be great to use for dinner parties or during a wedding reception dinner to make the experience a little better than a normal pre-made playlist.

Price Point
As I write this review, you can download djay Pro 2 for only $39.99 on the App store. Really can’t beat that!

Different Keyboard Shortcuts than Serato
There were just a few things I noticed that could use improvement on djay Pro 2. For example, when using the computer keyboard, I’m already very familiar with Serato DJ shortcut commands. I would love if djay Pro 2 has a selectable drop down in the “shortcuts” menu that allowed me to select Serato DJ or Traktor shortcuts.
However, I will mention that shortcuts on djay Pro 2 are totally customizable. You can save presets and make the keyboard shortcuts your own, but it just takes some time out of your day to map those commands.

Added Costs for Extra FX
Wonderful effects designed by Sugar Bytes are available for an extra add on purchase ($9.99). Even though these effects are priced very low, it would be nice if the cost was included with the program.

Automix AI
Yes, this feature was just mentioned in the “Pros” section, but I feel the need to point out how scary it is that machines can do what humans do. Obviously I don’t think AI will be replacing DJs anytime soon, and AI cannot perform up to the level of a professional DJ, but checking out what the AI feature can do really lets you know to step your game up because the robots are coming!

Bottom line, djay Pro 2 is a great program! For the price point and cool features that djay pro 2 has, I’d say it definitely stacks up against the competition. If you’re looking for a forward-thinking and user-friendly way to mix and create your DJ sets, djay Pro 2 is a perfect option.”

  • I have had a similar dilemma for the last few weeks, and have pretty much decided to jump onboard the MCX8000. I’ll explain why, and it may shed some light on your situation.

    I have been DJing for over 15 years professionally in clubs/bars. Virtual dj home 7 download full version. I begun on 1210’s, then moved to CDJ’s (as the promo stuff switched to CD’s) and am now on Serato mainly. You say you want to be prepared for playing in a club, but not all clubs use Rekordbox CDJ’s (a lot I play in still have CDJ 1000 Mk3’s).

    When I started, it was nice and simple, as you just turned up with your records/CD’s and you just used whatever was in front of you, however, things have become more tricky over the years due to the multiple systems out there, and with the variety in owners to upgrade their equipment.

    I believe a true professional should be able to play on whatever equipment is there, even if what is there is total garbage, and this is why a lot of my friend DJ’s still use CD’s- it doesn’t matter what they have, they work. Personally I always carry an SL2 box and my Mac, which I can hook up to ANY mixer and turntable/CDJ, so maybe you could consider the Denon equivalent of an SL2 with the savings you make if you ever play in bars/clubs.

    I have also begin carrying a small cheap Vestax Controller with a selection of connectors/adaptors as a total backup if their equipment is totally shot- preparation and backups are the key to not getting caught short and looking like a fool.

    The DJ world doesn’t begin and end with pioneer 🙂

    I agree with Grant, if you really feel the Denon unit has the features you want, then that is the direction you should go. The MCX8000 looks frickin’ sweet too. It might just be the all-in-one that wins me back from my modular setup. But I digress… When you get a booking, one of two things is likely to happen:

    – If the venue you want to play at has a modern setup, then you’d be able to connect your laptop to it and keep on using Serato (complete with any cue points you’ve set).
    – If the venue you want to play at does not have a modern setup, then you bring in your own controller and just ignore their equipment.

    I, too, was thinking about both of these units recently. In the end I went for the XDJ-RX; just got it last week.

    It really is just like playing on Pioneer CDJs and a DJM mixer. The build quality is excellent, and there’s a good array of Pioneer beat and color FX. The screen is decent too – and parallel waveforms are quite the added luxury!

    I went for the XDJ-RX because I wanted to get more practice using Pioneer gear – I often DJ on CDJs, and I’m perfectly capable, but I really want to feel a lot more comfortable and confident using them, and also really get my head around the DJM beat FX for interesting transitions. I’m always a little wary to mess around too much when playing out because, well, I hate people who overuse FX 🙂
    The places I tend to play all have USB Pioneer decks anyway, so I’m already used to running all my music through Rekordbox.

    In terms of a simple “standalone 2 decks and mixer” it’s really great. It’s permanently set up in my living room and just being able to walk in to my apartment, stick my USB drive in and immediately play is really, really nice.

    If you decide you want a bit more excitement (extra features on the MCX8000, a 4 channel mixer) and you’re not so fussed about becoming a master on Pioneer gear, then I’d say go for that. It really looks like a great unit at a great price.

    I’d echo what Grant says though about backups – I also have a tiny but fun controller I can take with me anywhere (Novation Twitch), plus an Akai AMX (also tiny!) and control vinyl/CDs for Serato. In theory, that covers me for playing just about anywhere… the Twitch, AMX, cabling, laptop and headphones all fit in a small (and surprisingly light) backpack!

    Let us know what you decide!

    I would go for the RX, I recently traded in my old 850’s for it and haven’t looked back… Best piece of kit brought out in recent years…

    There are many ways to go about these things. As both units have their own specific features and are, imho, aimed at slightly different groups of DJs, with the MCX8000 standing to take the place of the venerable MC6000 (mk1 and 2) as default workhorse for the mobile DJ. Hope they got the build quality right on it.
    What would clench the deal for me, as mobile DJ, is always the multiple mic inputs on separate channels. Not having that on just about any other brand of DJ controller is a true deal breaker for me. Effectively the Denon’s are 6-channel controllers, not 4 with switchable inputs. Add the separate onboard reverb on the mic channels (handy if the best man wants to sing to the happy couple at a wedding) and you are good to go. Finally I like Denon’s persistence in offering additional split cue rather than just cue/master balance.

    You say that Engine works with Serato. Now there is a tricky one. I may be completely off-base here, but I think what the advertising says is you can use Engine for standalone use (just you and your memory stick) AND it also supports Serato if you want to bring a laptop and play. In which case I am sure they have made it so the screens display some interesting things otherwise on your laptop Serato screen. It does NOT (again, as I understand) mean that you can import/export from and to Serato from Engine for example. So in that case it would be very dissimilar to RekordBox DJ which does allow you to easily export stuf to your RB memory stick.

    I am an avid Mixvibes Cross user. It has full HID support, so when I go to a place that I need to use the CDJs, I bring two USB leads and a small powered hub and just use the players with my laptop as controllers. Mixing clearly takes place on the DJM(usually)900s. It’s sub-optimal but will work.

    I will typically have one of those zipped CD-bags with me with some CDs as well, sort of like the ultimate backup. Or when you roll up to that one club that has a full Denon setup (or Gemini, Numark or something non-Pioneer).

    Good question – I have no idea how I got a picture here. I’ve been hanging around this board for ages now. It’s an old version of my logo though, so it must be from when I originally signed up.

    Nope Vintage:
    The new Engine Software CAN directly import all Settings from the Serato library.
    So if you set all your cuepoints, loops, crates, smartcrates and analyse the files in Serato it will seamlessly be available in the new Engine software, same goes for iTunes playlists. (At least this is what the Denon sales rep tells us…)
    Which IMHO gives you the best of both worlds.
    I can DJ with Serato nicely and if my laptop fails (which it never did) I can simply go on with the USB stick I have ready made with Engine.

    Ok, I have been looking for a copy of the new engine in the wrong places then 🙂

    Well we never know what will materialize, what I am stating is sales rep talk… so the end product may vary from that hehe

    Yeah, I read the specs. They are, imho, up for interpretation. It seems like you have to open both Serato and Engine, drag and drop the stuff you want in Engine and then … and here it gets interesting … hit analyse if it doesn’t automatically analyse. What does it analyse then (since it’s a track already Serato-analysed) and does it indeed take all those painstaking beatgrid corrections you put in?

    We will indeed see when the product is out there.

    Now that the MCX 8000 is officially out and been out for awhile, what do people think? I’m torn between the two but love the native Serato support on the Denon. I’ve been using CDJs though for most of my life so that’s attractive too. I have been using Traktor with a mouse and keyboard or my twin American Audio Radius 3000s. I have so many CDs though and it seems like a waste to move completely to digital… I just don’t know!

    Having passed that station years and years ago, going back to CD’s and CDJs as my primary platform will never happen.

    It does depend a little on what kind of DJ you are. I am a mobile DJ that plays just about any genre from any era. First just software (PCDJ RED among others) on a laptop with keyboard and mouse I “graduated” and moved to the (then high-tech) Numark D2 Director (see below picture). As you can tell effectively a double CD-deck reminiscent of the old Denon DN-S2600 and such, but with an option to hook up a hard disk and use digital tracks. Simple management software took care of indexing so you could find tracks quicker. Rudimentary in retrospect but it worked.

    Then I bought my first real controller, the Denon MC6000. I’ll freely admit that I am a big and long-time Denon fan. It came with Traktor software. At the time Traktor were trying to get their software bundled with many controllers. Pretty soon I had strong love for the controller, but way less for Traktor as I found it very unsuitable for mobile DJ-ing, but especially for my workflow. Since Serato was very closed ecosystem then and could not be used with the MC6000 I moved to Mixvibes Cross. It has most in common with Serato and works fine and I use it to this day. I then sold my MC6000 in anticipation of buying the mk2. Unfortunately Mixvibes was behind the curve on creating a mapping for that one, so I waited. At some point I was able to swap some other gear for a “golden” DDJ-SX. This I have been using for the last couple of years and works just fine. As you’d expect from a higher-end pro-grade piece of equipment.

    Since the announcement of the MC8000 I have been waiting to get one and it looks like I’ll be able to order one this week. I have never considered the XDJ-RX in general and after reading Phil’s review and hearing from co-moderator Terry_42 (a more than avid Reloop afficionado who willingly tossed his Terminal Mix 8 aside for the MCX8000) I don’t think the XDJ-RX and MCX8000 can be compared as equals.

    So my vote goes to the 8000.
