Image-Line Deckadance: The DJ App/Plug-in To End All DJ Apps ?

The creators of Fruity Loops aka FL Studio (Image Line software) have just announced a new DJ application called DeckaDance, and this thing looks like the answers to our prayers. We here at CDM love applications that don’t tie you into a specific controller/hardware/control vinyl solution. DeckaDance seems to have everything we’ve ever wanted in a DJ application, and not only does it support several different types of control vinyl, it actually has a learn mode to adapt itself to new types! Add the fact that it’s a VST host capable of hosting both effects AND instruments, and is capable of operating as a VST plugin as well, and I think we have something that will truly change the face of DJing (unlike some other recent products). Here’s a run-down of some of the more notable features:

  1. Works as standalone or VSTi plugin
  2. Hosts VSTi soft synths & FX in 8 slots
  3. 8-slot sampler that samples from the decks
  4. 6 inputs & 12 outputs
  5. Supports Final Scratch, Serato Scratch, MixVibes and (our favorite) Ms Pinky vinyl
  6. Capable of learning new vinyl control systems

  7. Auto-sync
