The Apple Design Award–winning Djay offers pros and novices alike groundbreaking behind-the-deck superpowers.

What we love: All the ways to mix a song. Isolate individual instruments, beats or vocals with Neural Mix. Save loops and key moments in a track – like a drop or breakdown – as Hot Cues that you can trigger instantly. Or use Crossfader FX to apply cool transition effects such as Sweeps and Filters.

Quick tip: You can manually speed up or slow down any track using the tempo slider. To easily match the tempo of two tracks, just tap the Sync button.

Meet the creator: Co-founders Karim Morsy and Christoph Teschner started developing Djay when they were college students. “It’s incredibly fulfilling to see how a personal hobby has grown into a global phenomenon,” Morsy says.
