djay is a digital music mixing software program for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows,[1]iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch created by the German company algoriddim. It allows playback and mixing of digital audio files with a user interface that tries to simulate the concept of 'two turntables and a microphone' on a computer. Before the commercial release in November 2007, djay had initially been released as freeware in June 2006.[2] In December 2010 the software was also released for the iPad,[3] and subsequently for iPhone and iPod touch in March 2011.[4]
Djay Pro 2 for Mac is here, and it's nipping away at the heels of established DJ apps by adding key features such as Automix AI, and improving many others.
Its interface consists of two turntables, a mixer and a music library showing songs and playlists from iTunes. It also supports Spotify integration.
djay for iPad received an Apple Design Award in 2011.[5]

- The app puts the complete djay experience in the palm of your hand and provides some iPhone 7-specific features, like unique haptic feedback that lets you literally feel the beats while scratching and scrubbing the music, support for 3D Touch so you can quickly set a cue point by pressing and more. Djay Pro for iPhone is available on the App.
iTunes integration[edit]
djay's iTunes integration allows the user to mix songs directly from the iTunes library. It provides the option of browsing the library, for example by Playlist, Artist, Album, Genre, Key or History. Dragging songs onto the turntables in djay, transforms them into virtual records complete with album art.
Automix[edit]
Automix mode enables djay to automatically mix songs from the iTunes library, and play them instantaneously with DJ-style transitions. Using the Automix Queue the user can step in any time and immediately queue up tracks.
Transitions[edit]
djay's instantaneous beat and tempo detection allows the user to match the BPM of two songs for a transition. On pressing the SYNC button the software automatically syncs the BPM of the two songs so that both are smoothly aligned.
Record live performance[edit]
djay allows the user record live mixes and save them in high-quality sound files. It also contains a built-in organizer arranges, previews or exports the recordings.
Multi-Touch trackpad control[edit]
Mac has a tool called the Multi-Touch trackpad. djay can dynamically utilize this trackpad to fully control the software with versatile Multi-Touch gestures. For example, a rotating gestures can adjust the EQ, while two finger swipe gesture can scratch the record and operate the crossfader.
Live sampler[edit]
There is a built-in sample pack featuring 20 high-quality sounds made by ueberschal, a company in the sampling industry. In addition, djay allows the user to create custom samples from the turntables or the microphone.
Mixer and EQ controls[edit]
djay consists of a 3-band equalizers, gain, line faders, and a crossfader that provide the user with the necessary tools needed for a DJ setup to seamlessly blend one song into another.
Harmonic Match[edit]
The software can automatically detect a song's key and matches it to songs of the same key within the iTunes music library. It also allows the user to transpose songs into different keys, and even sort the entire music library by key.
High-quality audio FX[edit]
djay includes three FX control panes for different mixing styles: a one-touch panel for instant FX, a custom pane, and a 2D touch interface. Effects include Flanger, Phaser, Echo, Gate, Bit Crusher, Filter (High Pass, Low Pass), as well as six preconfigured instant effects: Absorb, Drift, Sway, Crush, Punch, Twist are bundled in with djay.
Beat-matched looping & cue points[edit]
djay has a range of different looping styles: Auto, Manual and Bounce. The use can manually set loop in and out points, use Auto-Loop to continuously loop part of a song, or remix live using Bounce-Loop to mash up the song, all in perfect sync with the beat.
iCloud integration[edit]
The program can work with iCloud (and iTunes Match), meaning the user can sync it with the iTunes library in the cloud. In other words, tunes are synced between every iOS device connected on the cloud. All of these devices can run djay, and cues and BPM information edited or added in will appear immediately in all of the others. There is a remote control available for iOS to control the djay app on the MacBook over WiFi.[6]

Lyrics over Lyrics “usually” isn’t good as you seem to already know.
I often times jump around from one cue point to another in a song…whether it be to cut out a breakdown or for whatever reason.What software are you using?

Are you mixing the breakdowns of one song into another, or mixing the breakdown of one song into the intro of another? Or perhaps mixing the outro into a breakdown?
If you are using turntables and serato just get a pair of dicers. game over.

OP asked if we use this technique, not how to gain access to cue points (I think). OP, please clarify what you are doing (or make a video), as the post is a little grammatically confused.
I do this quite often in my mixes. But i dont do the 8 count before the mix in point as im using Traktor and just turn on quantize to ensure that my mix in cue point drops in at the right point. I can see using Serato since it doesnt have quantize you have to keep ahead of it so u can ensure that the mix in point is right on beat.
Personally I have a bit of ADD when i do my mixes and rather than jump from song to song every minute, I like to do a lot of mashups with Electro house.
This is a great technique for keeping mixes interesting and different from the average go from one song to the next.
If im trying to make a song shorter ill place a hot cue right before each hook as there are typically 2 or more in each song. You can take out individual part of songs you don’t think will play well with the crowd. For me this also acts as a marker, knowing whether from that point, the hook is 4,8,16 or any other amount of bars. Ill write it in the comments for the song so its easier to get perfect timing when beat matching/outro from the hook.
I write in my comments how long the intros and outros are, and put cue points at the outros so I can see when they’re coming up. When mixing, I’ll mix in new songs at either the a drop, a breakdown, or an outro. I like to play around with effects and acapella samples during mixes, so I don’t really skip large parts of songs like it sounds you are doing.

When it comes to using a controller or DVS…I completely agree, and I do the same, depending on the genre of course. My original comment is directed for Hip Hop, R&B, and Top 40, where there is an acapella already in the track, and using samples of acapellas would be rare. Allthough I dislike playing for a venue thats attracts a top 40 crowd, I try to take those songs and make them the best I can. Using cue points to either switch or skip verses works to my benefit alot, especially since so many top 40 songs have bad verses.
