The No.1 website for musicians
Compatibility: iPad (requires iOS 3.2 or later)
Sounds Trends has been making music-based iOS apps for a while, with Studio HD and Looptastic already getting chins wagging.
Meta.DJ is something of a hybrid product that serves as a mash-up of the company’s existing products alongside more conventional DJing decks. You can combine up to four sound sources - be they music decks, samplers, loop players or a drum machine - slap on some effects and make use of a whole host of other neat options to create something pretty special.
Anyone who has used sample decks in Traktor 2 will be in familiar territory here. In fact, Meta DJ has a few tricks that even the daddy of digital DJing doesn’t, such as up to eight loops in one sample player.
Ambitious in concept, excellent in delivery, Meta.DJ is addictive and powerful. Future DJs will be in their element, but it’s not for the feint hearted.
