PureDJ — but how stripped down should it be?
The functionality of a DJ’s setup does not rest in the gear itself or what the gear if capable of doing – it lies in the operator, who knows how to use it. There are still problems with the way DJ gear is produced these days, but rarely does it come down to what the actual hardware or software can do. The DJ either has too much on his plate to deal with, or he doesn’t know how to use what he is given. Simply put, there is no DJ system that will satisfy every type of DJ out there. No matter how configurable or how modular that system is – it will never be perfect. The iPad has become a good platform for DJs due to the fact that these apps can be tweaked by developers to fit our needs, even more so than the big name companies who are trying to innovate their DJ software. PureDJ is an idea that has been making its way around the internet – and people are actually interested in it. They are given the tools to basically strip down all the unused features of a DVS, creating their own DVS interface if they wish. Only time will tell if it gets to be used the way we expect it to. http://djworx.com/puredj-a-stripped-down-approach-from-dj-player/
