SetDeck

Read full description

Your whole DJ booth, in one app. Record your set, dial in the room, and log every track, made for the people actually behind the decks. RECORD THE SET SetDeck captures the master output straight from a USB mixer or audio interface. Record in WAV 24-bit, WAV 32-bit float, or AAC 256/320, so you choose your own balance of quality and file size. Drop cue markers live and jump right back to them in playback, and keep an eye on clean L/R metering with peak hold and a clip warning. TUNE THE ROOM A real-time 31-band spectrum analyzer (RTA) shows you exactly what the room is doing, while SPL metering tells you how loud it really is. Save and compare measurement points across the space, from the dancefloor to the booth, bar, and FOH, so you can spot problem frequencies before the floor fills up. STAY ON TOP OF THE SET Catch the tempo automatically from the mic, or tap it in yourself. A set timer warns you as closing time approaches, and a timestamped tracklist lets you edit, reorder, and export everything you played when the night is done. Dark, fast and distraction free. No clutter and no fluff, just the tools you actually reach for in the booth. SetDeck requires an access code. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Pioneer DJ, rekordbox, Serato, or any mixer manufacturer.
