While wasting time on Twitter, I came across a flurry of activity from @SimonBangs who appears to be from Numark (at least he seems to be tweeting on Numark's behalf). His tweets from 4 days ago appear to fly out to a number of different DJ app dev teams, including;
- Sonorasaurus Rex
- Tap DJ
- DJ Mixer
- FlareScratch
- Touch DJ (an odd choice, I thought Amidio have dropped off the face of the earth...plus their proposed new Touch DJ Evolution was meant to be the new DJ app from them?)
- IPadMixr (this one is odd as I don't believe it will ever see the light of day! It's been "in development" since April 2010!).
Also, no tweet to the DJ Player / Red Bull BPM team? Nothing to Capsulated Software (Cue.Play.DJ)?
The tweets read something along the lines of;
"simonbangs @sonorasaurus Hello this is Simon from @Numark Would be interested in talking to you about adding iDJ live support Sonorasaurus"
Looks like we might get a swathe of apps becoming iDJ Live compliant...I'd like to think that the app dev teams might take a broader view and check out other USB MIDI compliant DJ controllers which may be suitable for the iPad. I'm actually not sure there's much else out there at the moment that would fit as neatly...Vestax Spin would be a little more professional build though?

I've been doing gigs with DJAY and it's worked well enough. But if I find myself needing knobs I might just switch to something all-in-one like Stanton SCS.4DJ ... to avoid the hooking-stuff up PITA.
That Stanton product does look very nice indeed and priced at catching some of the mobile DJing market too. The idea of a one-stop-shop (console, control, library) is a neat one, I may have to take a look around as I was completely unaware of this....or at least I seem to have forgotten about it if I have previously mentioned it!
