What do you think to the idea of iPad/iPhone DJing, with real stereo output for your headphones and your speakers? Or having simple in-app iTunes music purchases, with on the fly previewing? Excited? Well, if you already own djay for iPhone or djay for iPad, go hit update now, because these improvements are waiting for you in the new versions that have just hit the App Store…
Pre Cueing Djay Ipad 6
As of today, Algoriddim’s djay apps both take full advantage of improvements made in iOS6 to offers full dual stereo outputs, as well the iTunes store right there in the app itself. In the case of the iPhone app, there’s keylock and some pretty major GUI improvements too…
Multi-route audio
It’s a common objection to iOS Djing that a splitter cable mono workaround is necessary to permit headphone cueing. However, that’s all changed, with multi-route audio configurable from within the app.
It is now possible to plug your iPad or iPhone into a USB speaker dock, for instance, and have master audio output in stereo through the base connector. You can then use the headphones socket for stereo headphone monitoring.

Dec 03, 2010 UI-wise, it's clear where the guys at Algoriddim got their inspiration, as the Djay app essentially turns your entire iPad's screen into a virtual DJ rig. It's got two decks with waveform overviews above, a crossfader in the middle, as well as individual channel mixers, volume controls,.

These improvements eliminate at a stroke one of the most commonly voiced objections to DJing on an iOS device, and should be widely welcomed.
In-app iTunes Store
But the new versions of djay go further, with the pretty major addition of a built-in iTunes Store. Complete with in-app preview, you can now search, listen to and buy new music while DJing and without leaving the app. Your purchases arrive in your library right away, ready to spin.
Keylock and a new GUI for the iPhone version
The iPhone version now has key lock (ie you can alter tempo without altering pitch), and has received a major overhaul to take advantage of iPhone 5’s wider (in landscape mode) screen. Features that had been shuffled off to secondary screens have now been reunited with the main screen, and in particular the return of the pitch faders to next to the decks makes everything feel, in Algoriddim’s words, “shockingly realistic” – and having seen it, we agree.
Time to give iOS DJing a try?
If you already own either app you’re probably already downloading as we speak, but if you’ve been holding back, now could be a good time to dip your feet it the waters of iOS DJing on your iPad or iPhone! djay for iPad is available for US$19.99 in the App Store, and djay for iPhone is US$0.99 in the App Store.

Griffin’s DJ Connect is a professional, compact DJ audio interface designed for iPad, iPhone and Mac, and optimised for Algoriddim’s djay software. Just announced, the DJ Connect is a dual output, full stereo audio interface powered by your device’s connection port, whether that’s a USB plug for your Mac, a Lightning connector for newer iOS devices, or the legacy 30-pin ports for past Apple gear.
DJ Connect has been engineered specifically to bring true plug and play functionality to the Algoriddim’s djay apps, although it should work with similar audio software and apps too. It has a big volume knob for controlling the volume in your headphones, delivering 16-bit, 48kHz audio to both phones and main outputs, with an 1/8″ stereo plug for your headphones, and a pair of stereo RCA jacks for connecting to your main speakers
The advantages it has over the Traktor Audio 2 (Native Instruments’s device that performs a similar role) is that you don’t need to connect a 1/8″ jack-to-RCA plug, making for a less cluttered set-up, and unlike the Audio 2, it comes with both types of iOS adaptor. However, the Audio 2 has a port for an external power supply that you can plug in should you want to charge your iOS device at the same time, which the DJ Connect doesn’t, and we’re unsure at the moment of just how much battery power the DJ Connect would drain when in use…
Why use an external audio interface at all?
Pre Cueing Djay Ipad Pro
Somehow or other, you’re going to want a separate cue (headphones) output to your master out. Devices like these give you a big advantage over one of the other existing solutions, namely a DJ splitter cable, because while splitters solve the issue – halving your device’s stereo signal into two outputs so you can cue on headphones, albeit in mono – they do so at the expense of some audio fidelity as they rely on your device’s built in sound card.
• DJ Connect retails for US$99 and is available right now.

Do you use a portable sound card when you DJ, or would you rather take along your DJ controller and output through that? Do you think iOS DJ apps with hardware like this are starting to mature into a truly portable DJ solution, or are they still “secondary” to their laptop software counterparts?
