djDecks v0.88 released 2008-05-28
This release brings support for the Denon DN-HC4500, Vestax VCM-100 and Numark Total Control controllers.
There also have been some improvements for using 4 decks, the autoplay modes have been improved, the playlist/browser now has a search field, MIDI output compatibility has been improved, and many bugs have been fixed.
Creating skins for djDecks has also become more flexible, so check out the Skinning Forum or the Skins section on the website to find out more!


djDecks offers you up to three decks to load your songs in (2 are shown by default)
Each deck has a pitch slider with a selectable range from +-8% up to +-100%
You can pre-listen the song using headphones through the rear-out of your 3d-soundcard, with a second sound card, by splitting left and right channels or by using ASIO drivers.
djDecks has a very advanced bpm detection that will help you synchronizing your songs.
It's very easy to set a cue-point and start your song exactly when you want it at the position you want. Beat-matching two songs is also made easier by using the virtual record to speed a song up or down.
djDecks includes a high-quality three-band equalizer per player. You can configure the cut-off frequencies of each band to create cool filtering effects.

You also get an advanced effect panel with effects such as echo, flanger and gapper.
It's very easy to create instant-loops up to 8 beats long with just a simple click on a button.
To select your songs you can use the playlist and file browser. It loads all the id3 tags and shows the songs found based on id3 tags so you get the information displayed the way you want it, instead of by filename.

djDecks can also be controlled by external hardware such as an external analog mixer, or by dj controllers such as the Hercules DJ Console or the Behringer BCD-2000.

If you want to have the feeling of mixing with vinyl, yet have the advantages of digital files, then you'll definitely want to check out djDecks' TimeCoded vinyl plugins. Using special vinyls that contain a special code, your mp3's will follow the exact speed and location of the needle on the control record.
