## What is VJ AutoStage?

VJ AutoStage analyzes the music you play on your iPhone or iPad — or the sound from a microphone or line input — in real time and automatically generates pro-grade stage visuals, pseudo lighting and effects. Put it on a TV or projector for parties, events, bars and DJ sets.

KEY FEATURES
- Real-time audio analysis (beat, tempo, downbeats, transients such as kicks)
- Auto-director that reads the song structure (intro / build / drop / break)
- 1,500+ high-quality visuals via the MilkDrop-compatible engine (butterchurn)
- Pseudo stage lighting (laser fans + moving heads)
- Touch effects (cut, drop, strobe, blackout, glitch, mosaic, negative, title and more) and tap tempo
- External display output: full-screen visuals on a TV or projector via AirPlay or HDMI, while your device becomes the control panel
- Recording: saves the generated visuals with audio to Photos (portrait or landscape)
- Title overlay: show your event, artist or tour name on screen
- On-device — the audio being analyzed never leaves your device

FIVE INPUTS
- Music Files: import songs from the Files app and play them in VJ AutoStage (most accurate)
- Line In: feed a mixer or DJ gear directly through a USB audio interface (most accurate)
- Microphone: reacts to the sound in the room
- Other Apps: use it while playing music in another app
- Apple Music: play Apple Music songs from your library inside VJ AutoStage (recordings with this input contain video only)

FREE WITH EVERY FEATURE / PRO UPGRADE
The download is free and every feature is available with no time limit. In the free state, a watermark appears on the visuals for about 10 seconds every 3 minutes (it is also included in recordings). The one-time in-app purchase "Pro Upgrade" removes the watermark (features are identical). If you bought it in the Mac version, choose "Restore purchase" with the same Apple Account to unlock Pro on your iPhone or iPad.

REQUIREMENTS
iPhone with iOS 17 or later, iPad with iPadOS 17 or later

PHOTOSENSITIVITY NOTICE
This app contains intense flashing imagery. If you have photosensitive epilepsy or feel unwell, please refrain from use.
