PCDJ DEX is a computer mixing program for both beginner and professional DJs. DEX has a powerful Recordcase that allows you to Import, Mix, and Search all of your mp3, ogg, wma, flac, wav files and unprotected iTunes Library easily. DEX supports multiple m3U waitlist, play-list, or crates of mix and match tracks. DEX includes many Skins that give you a different Look, Feel, and Feature set depending on your style of mixing.
PCDJ DEX is optimized for use with Denon DJ's DN-S1200, DN-HD2500, DN-HC4500, DN-HS5500, USB MIDI controllers.
Each deck has a pitch slider with a selectable range from +-8% up to +-100%. You can pre-listen to 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.
PCDJ DEX has advanced BPM detection that will help you synchronize your tracks. It's very easy to set a cue-point and start your song exactly where you want. Beat-matching two tracks is also made easier by using the virtual record to speed a song up or down.
