Deckadance

Deckadance is a DJ software tool that was first released in 2007 by Image-Line, the developer of FL Studio, for Windows and Mac. It is both a DJ console and a mixing tool. It has two editions, allowing DJs to choose the features they need. The software was later acquired by Gibson and sold under the Stanton DJ brand; it is no longer developed, and the last update appeared in 2017. 

Features:

• One of the most renowned features is the club version's ability to work with timecoded vinyl and CDs, including control records from Serato, Torq, MixVibes and others. 
• The tool can be a standalone app, or it can be used as a VST plugin inside software that supports VST, such as Ableton Live. It can also read the iTunes library, so existing playlists appear in its browser. 
• 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 features of the house edition but also includes a generator for making your own timecoded control CDs. 
• The sampler offers eight banks with multiple loop options, including 1, 2, 4, or 8 beat loop sample recording. 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 notable feature is the software's ReLooper. 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 a panoramic LFO, ring modulator and wah-wah filter. Master ReLooper effects include a wah-wah filter, a lo-fi distortion option, as well as a track coder which combines lo-fi distortion with a vocoder.

Two editions let DJs choose between a MIDI controller setup and full support for timecoded vinyl and CDs.

In conclusion, Deckadance is a capable DJ tool for both aspiring and experienced DJs. Version 2 added configurable Smart Panels, SmartKnobs that link one knob to several effect and mixer targets, and Gross Beat effects from FL Studio. As the software is discontinued, it suits users who already own a license.
