## What is DJ DEX?

DJ DEX turns your iPad into veritable DJ software console that rivals features found in top professional DJ applications.

Get touchy with the intuitive interface or plug in a supported DJ controller for tactile hands-on control over features like BPM sync, interactive waveform displays, pitch/tempo control, scratching, seamless automatic looping, automix, and effects. DJ DEX also supports mono split output so you can easily monitor each deck in your headphones just like a traditional DJ setup.

DJ DEX is not a game – it was created using the same technology found in DEX 3 Pro for macOS.  Whether you use DJ DEX as your go-to solution for DJing events or as backup you’ll have the features you need to create tantalizing mixes that keep ’em dancing. See for yourself and take it for a spin today!


Key Features:
 
+ 2 DJ DECKS and a Mixer
+ Hands-on manual mixing or hands-free automation 
+ Pitch/Tempo Control
+ BPM Snap-To-Beat Mixing 
+ Seamless quantized looping 
+ Automatic Beat-Grid based BPM detection
+ High-Quality effects (Flanger, Echo, Cutoff filters, etc) 
+ Interactive waveforms that allow you to scratch, pitch bend, reverse play, backspin, etc
+ Library browsing and search 
+ 6 hot cues can be set per deck, with cue-play
+ Record your mixes
+ Free updates!

DJ Controller Support:

+ supports multichannel audio controllers
+ over 100 controllers supported (from Pioneer, Numark, Denon, Hercules, American Audio, Reloop, Gemini, Akai, Vestax, etc). No configuration needed, but you do need the iPad Camera Kit connector or a Lightning to USB adapter to connect the controller to your iPad. You must use DJ Controllers that consume very little power (so that the iPad can power them) or have their own power adapter.
 
Optimize for performance:
 
+ Turn on “Flight Mode” when doing live mixes
+ If you need both speakers and headphones preview and you don't have a multi-channel audio interface or controller you can use a special inexpensive “splitter” that splits the headphones output so that the left channel will go to the speakers (master output) and right channel will go to the headphones (monitor)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with Numark DJ2Go2

*2020-12-20, version 2.0.1*

I paid for this purely to use with the Numark DJ2Go2 controller, which is supposed to work with the software. It doesn’t.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work with Bluetooth

*2018-10-18, version 2.0.1*

The app itself works good but will not work running Bluetooth the sound still comes from the iPad instead of the Bluetooth speaker major disappointment since I need it to work via Bluetooth for the application I’m using it for

### 1/5 — I want my money back

*2018-06-25, version 2.0.1*

They stole me again (PCDJ FX).
iOS 11.4 + iPad Pro 9” + 22.000 songs = the app never started.

### 4/5 — Audio splitter failed

*2018-06-02*

So I have a iPad 6 generation to lighting to camera usb to powered usb hub with a scarlet 2i2 and a Ddj-sb3  when audio spitter is turned on sound cuts to main speaker and headphones other wise VERRY NICE APP SUPPORTS THE CONTROLLERS YOU LOVE! I will give it 5 * when audio splitter doesn’t crash the sound thank you for this BOMB APP!

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2018-05-23, version 2.0.1*

Long time user of PC DEX which is a great program, was glad to get this iPad app.  I really like this app, easy to use.  One problem that I have with it is that it doesn’t store cue points.  That is a big issue with me since I use cue points in live services.  In order for me to use this app, I have to set up all cue points all over again for each session.  I will continue using the app hoping an update will fix this.  I gave it 5 stars because I love the other functionality and ease of use.  One other problem, when I search for a song, it finds the same song multiple times in the search results, even though the song is only stored in one location in iTunes.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2016-01-01*

Sorry can't load music files due to some protection. 
Waste of money really.

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2015-09-16, version 1.4*

Constantly crashing and can't play half the music from my iPad. This app is junk and I would like an immediate refund. I currently run dex 3 on my MacBook, could not be more dissatisfied with this app

### 1/5 — Avoid due to DRM issues

*2015-07-20, version 1.4*

Not good at all whenever i try to load a song is says DRM protected so the app is totally unusable

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2014-09-29, version 1.4*

I purchased the dj dex app for my IPad yesterday for use with my Numark Dj2go controller. As soon as a turn on the external mixer setting in the software the application crashes and stops working. It must be deleted and reinstalled.Please refund my payment for this application.

### 5/5 — Nice start

*2013-09-20, version 1.4*

I've been using pcdj for many years. As usual this is a solid app. This app seems to be in early stages but is rock solid. Definitely a real app.
