Deckadance

Deckadence is a DJ software tool that was first developed in 2007 for Microsoft. It is both a DJ console and a mixing tool. It has two editions, allowing the product to tailor itself to different music genre's artists. 

Features:

• One of the most renowned features is the club version's ability and support to work with timecoded vinyl. 
• The tool can be a standalone app, or it can be used in combination as a plugin VST inside software that supports VST, such as Ableton Live. This feature provides a Sound Manager (SM), which can then integrate with iTunes. 
• Two different editions, which host two different sets of benefits. The house edition can be controlled with a MIDI controller and can host VST compliant effects. The club edition has all of the effects of the house edition but also allows the producers to make their own timecoded CD's. 
• The sampling options are some of the best in the industry. There are multiple loop options, including 1,2,4, or 8 beat loop sample recording options. These samples can then be automatically synced to the tempo through its beat detection feature. There is a volume control feature as well as a tool that allows for these samples to be layered, creating a more enriched track. 
• Another outstanding feature is the software's ReLooper feature. This tool slices and then rearranges the created samples onto either Deck A or Deck B, allowing for easier organization. There are also multiple effects options included in the ReLooper, which include the panoramic LFO, ring-modulator, wha-wha filter. Master ReLooper effects include a wha-wha filter, a low-fi distortion option, as well as a track coder which combines a low-fi distortion option along with a vocoder.

In conclusion, Deckadence software is a tremendous and valuable DJ tool for both aspiring and professional musicians. While it may cost a bit of money, it can be considered an investment if accompanied by the adequate dedication to master it.

Different editions (house and club) give to DJ's the opportunity to develop mixes specific to their genre and provide unparalleled possibilities for working with timecoded vinyl.
