powerful, yet very easy to use mix engine:
• Ask the DJ detects tempo (BPM).
Ask the DJ automatically detects tempo for all tracks in
your play-list. You don't have to manually “tap” with the
keyboard: Ask the DJ analyses the tempo from the
sound track itself. This analysis allows Ask the DJ to
match beats perfectly and automatically when mixing
tracks. Ask the DJ optionally stores tempo information
in the file's tag, which allows other software such as
iTunes 4 to display the BPM.

To match beats when mixing tracks with different bpms,
Ask the DJ gradually alters the tempo with a special
pitch-preserving time stretching algorithm. The music
gradually runs slower or faster, without the pitch being
affected. To alter the tempo, other software merely
“pitch” the sound, which results in unpleasant key shift.

rearranges your play-list so following tracks have
matching tempos, rhythms and volumes. You can even
assign weights to each matching criterion.

• Ask the DJ indexes your iPod(s).
When it's launched, Ask the DJ automatically indexes all
your mp3 and AAC files on all connected iPods. This
makes it very easy and quick to add a new track to your
play-list: you just need to type a few letters of the title,
the artist or the album.

What users say about Ask the DJ:
Great start on a very promising application. I've been a DJ in the Los
Angeles club and underground scene for about 7 years. The automated
matching engine you've got is pretty tight. This could become the perfect
house [home] party application. Stace (California)
I did the last gig NOT using Traktor anymore. I used ATDJ for the playlist
and transitions and added my mixes using Steinberg Remix and Apple
Soundtrack. This works great, I played 9 hours straight and had no trouble
getting a beer every now and then cause I knew I can count on ATDJ =) Tom

I'm a computer programmer with 19 years of experience in developing
computer games, including their sound engines. The software, and
especially the unique "smart transition", is impressive. I've never seen
anything like it, and I love it! Ronald (California)
Rather than sit and line up tracks in iTunes or build myself a CD I can now
let this thing pre-mix and spit out a bunch of tracks and I can mingle (and
seem like a superstar DJ at the SAME TIME!) :-) Graeme (California)
