Stop Playing Low-Quality Rips. As a DJ or producer, your sound is your brand. You can’t afford to play a "high-quality" track that’s actually an upscaled, low-bitrate rip. dRIP provides the technical clarity you need to ensure every file in your library is club-ready. Whether you are digging through new promos or cleaning up your Rekordbox library, dRIP gives you visual certainty - on the go. Using advanced spectral analysis, you can identify frequency cutoffs and distinguish between a true lossless file and a fake "320kbps" render in seconds. Core Features: Precision Spectral Analysis: View high-resolution spectrograms to see the exact frequency range of your audio. Share Sheet Integration: dRIP straight from the iOS Share Sheet. Inspect files directly from your browser, cloud storage, or messaging apps without opening the main app. Batch Inspection: Save time by inspecting multiple files at once. Perfect for vetting large downloads or new record pool hauls. Designed for Professionals: Built with a focus on both aesthetic and function by DERMANO, specifically for DJs, producers, and audiophiles. Detailed Metadata: Get instant readouts on sample rates, bit depth, file size, and channel configurations. Why dRIP? In an era of WhatAapp and Telegram DJ pools quality varies wildly. Don't let a 16kHz cutoff ruin a high-end sound system. dRIP is the essential tool for the modern technical DJ. -DERMANO

Whether you are planning for a club night, a festival slot, or a stream, KeyMatch turns the tracks you actually want to play into an in-key, energy-aware storyline. ◼ Live Mode: your in-key copilot while you play In Live Mode, you pick what is playing now and KeyMatch suggests in-key options for your next track, ranked by our harmonic system and filtered by set phase and energy intent. Import your Rekordbox collection and Live Mode can also recommend specific tracks from your own library, combining harmonic compatibility with your track energy ratings, BPM, set history, and where you are in the set. • Filter suggestions by where you are in the set: start, middle, or end • Dial in your energy intent, from gentle build to peak-time push • Get ranked track recommendations directly from your imported Rekordbox library • Greens highlight safer Camelot neighbor moves • Yellows surface more advanced harmonic options that theory experts often explore • Clashing keys are filtered out so you can move with confidence You get live, in-key guidance without having to memorize the Camelot wheel or think through every move in real time. ◼ Set Builder: turn playlists into in-key, flowing setlists Set Builder is where you plan ahead. Instead of dragging tracks around a static playlist and manually juggling keys, you add the songs you actually want to play and let KeyMatch help you shape them into an ordered, in-key set with a smooth energy flow. • Start from the tracks you already love and want in the set • The algorithm respects your chosen opener, closer, and spotlight tracks • Build an energy curve that feels intentional instead of random • See a clear, harmonic path instead of feeling tied to the same Camelot neighbors • Save multiple versions of the same set to the cloud and refine them over time Your loose playlist becomes a planned, in-key journey you can trust when you step into the booth. ◼ Rekordbox friendly KeyMatch fits around your existing workflow instead of trying to replace it. • Bring in your existing library via Rekordbox playlist exports • Plan in KeyMatch, then play on your usual decks and software Rekordbox is a trademark of Pioneer DJ. KeyMatch is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Pioneer DJ. ◼ Built for DJs who care about craft, not clutter KeyMatch is designed to feel light, not overloaded. The patent-pending harmonic engine under the hood is complex, but the interface stays focused on what matters: • Cleaner, in-key transitions • More intentional energy flow • Faster, less tedious set planning • Fewer compromises on the tracks you actually want to play Spend less time wrestling with keys and playlists, and more time playing sets that feel like a story instead of a sequence of songs.
