DDJ-FLX4 CONTROLLER SUPPORT Connect a DDJ-FLX4 via USB to control playback, cues, jog wheels, mixer controls and more. DDJ-FLX4 is sold separately. A compatible USB connection and appropriate power supply are required. Remote library access requires a compatible Mac version of SpinCut DJ, the same account on both devices, your Mac running and awake with sharing enabled, and an internet connection on both devices. Playback start time depends on the connection. Fetched audio uses temporary storage on your device. This feature does not provide a subscription music catalog. Feature availability may depend on your account and plan. Use supported audio files you have the necessary rights to use. Ensure you also have the necessary rights for live broadcasting.

DUALWAVE DJ turns your smartphone or tablet into a complete, portable DJ mixing console. Import your music, combine tracks across two independent decks, shape the sound with professional controls, record your performances, and share your creations. TWO-DECK DJ MIXER Load a different track into Deck A and Deck B, start playback independently, adjust levels, and create smooth transitions with the crossfader. Follow track position through responsive waveforms and use Beat Align, Sync, Cue, Restart, Pitch, Key Lock, and Eject controls during your mix. PROFESSIONAL AUDIO CONTROLS Control Gain, High, Mid, Low, Filter, channel volume, master output, cue volume, and cue mix. Use the master booster up to 200%, with limiter and clipping indicators designed to help you monitor high output levels. CREATIVE DJ TOOLS Build more dynamic performances with Hot Cues, manual and automatic loops, selectable beat lengths, samples, and real-time FX. Available effects include Echo, Reverb, Flanger, Phaser, Delay, and Filter, with Dry/Wet, Amount, and beat-length controls. IMPORT YOUR MUSIC Import individual audio files or select multiple tracks at once. Add music from ZIP archives and extract audio from videos stored on your device. Organize imported tracks in your music library, mark favorites with a star, search your collection, and load any song into Deck A or Deck B. RECORD MIXES AND VOICE Record the complete console output, capture voice only, or record your microphone together with the active mix. Saved recordings include name, date, duration, and file size. Play them inside the app, rename or delete them, download them as MP3 or WAV, and share them with compatible apps and devices. PROJECT MANAGEMENT Create, save, duplicate, rename, import, and reopen DJ projects. Export projects in the DUALWAVE format to preserve mixer settings and continue working later. If the app closes unexpectedly, session recovery can restore your latest working state. BEAT-SYNCED LIGHTS Add visual energy with Bars, Pulse, Wave, and Strobe lighting modes. Adjust intensity and speed, synchronize animations to the active deck, and use compatible screen-sharing options to display the light experience on another screen. PERSONALIZE YOUR CONSOLE Choose from eight interface themes and adjust appearance, controls, audio behavior, and language. DUALWAVE DJ supports English, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese, with automatic device-language detection. Your imported music, projects, preferences, and recordings are managed locally on your device. DUALWAVE DJ is designed for practice, creative experimentation, mobile performances, parties, and anyone who wants to mix music wherever inspiration begins.
