DJay from Algoriddim

DJay from Algoriddim is very cool DJ software for your Mac. It sells for $49.99 US and has an iPhone App that allows you to control it remotely over wifi for $4.99 US (djay Remote – algoriddim).

The app itself features iTunes integration (it will grab you iTunes Library and playlist—any of the music you have can then be analyzed for its tempo for easy matching), Automixing 1 (DJay will grab song after song out of your iTunes playlists and mix them while you get your dance on), Tempo Matching (put any two songs together and DJay will slow down or speed up to match the tempos), as well as Scratching, Mixing and Looping.

In the mini video below, I use my nonexistent DJ’ing skillz to mix the 2 versions of “Still Alive” off The Orange Box (Original Soundtrack) into a duet between GLaDOS and @JonathanCoulton. For those musically challenged folks like myself, I recommend songs that already match.

Today’s Mac Awesomeness selection comes from a tweet posted by @leohayden2 Be sure to check out the video below and leave a comment.

Djay for Mac and ITunes is awesome, but using your IPhone wirelessly to control it via the djay app is off the charts On 5:54 AM Aug 15th 2010 from Twitter for iPhone

Apple makes available Logic Pro 8.0.1

I assume that this update will make itself known to Logic Pro 8 users via Software Update, but it can also be obtained by plugging your Apple ID into this downloads page.

The Logic Pro 8.0.1 Update addresses specific customer and compatibility issues and includes Waveburner 1.5.1 and Impulse Response Utility 1.0.1, which address issues for Waveburner 1.5 and Impulse Response Utility 1.0 respectively .

If you are using Logic Node you will need to update your Logic Node application on connected computers as well. After running the updater you will find an updated Logic Node installer called Logic Node 8.0.1.dmg in your Utilities folder.
