Jackson

Jackson is DJ software that breaks with the past. It does not emulate the traditional DJ setup but truly unlocks the power of your computer. It is the first dedicated software package that offers sequencer-style mixing to the digital DJ.

Mixing tracks in Jackson is a 2-step process. Before you can play a track, you must rhytmically analyze it. The BeatMapper tool makes this an easy and instructive process. Once you’ve analyzed a track, which you have to do only once, you can mix and manipulate the track in all freedom.

Features:

• Jackson allows DJs to alter the structure of songs while playing them: parts can be repeated, skipped, paused and reversed.
• Tracks are automatically beat-matched and therefore always play in sync.
• Powerful filters and effects allow the DJ to sculpt the sound to his/her liking.
• The integrated browser facilitates the selection of songs. It lets the DJ preview the structure of songs and listen to them on a second audio device.
• The built in recorder allows DJs to record their mixes without the need for additional equipment.
• The integrated BeatMapper lets users analyze the rhythmic structure of songs.
• Different computers running Jackson can be networked. In such a configuration several DJs can play together in perfect sync: all tracks on all computers are automatically beat-matched.
• Jackson’s sliders can be controlled by physical midi controllers. This allows for fast, tactile control and simultaneous changes to different sliders.
• Jackson can generate a midi clock signal to tempo-sync external midi equipment.
• A real time oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer is available for the techie DJ.

Arguru Software

NOTE: Sadly, Aodix is no longer under development. As such, it has been released as freeware.

The main concept of Aodix is between old-school trackers and nowadays sequencers. The interface is inspired from trackers, but the features are at least those of the most modern sequencers. Aodix achieves outstanding real-time performance with less CPU usage than other sequencers, very low latency due to a proper implementation of ASIO2, and widest-range support for VST plug-ins, due to a clean implementation of VST2.
256 track, 256 pattern sequencer
Each track allows recording of events including chords and automation. Patterns have no fixed length. Both pattern using pattern calls and single-sheet operations are supported.
Full modular audio and MIDI routing
Forget old mixer paradigms. Aodix provides a flexible
modular net of audio and midi (events) connection wires between VST Instances, allowing complex audio/midi routing schemes, and you could sync your favourite step sequencers or MIDI event processors with Aodix main sequencer easily.

32-bit float sample precision
Aodix maintains sample precision to 32-bit float, from input all the way to the output.

Up to 960 PPQN timestamp precision
The midi point precision can be 960 PPQN, allowing a wide range of quantization settings, down to 1 point.

Enhanced recording and editing functions
Several recording and editing modes are available, combining online/offline, step/step-free, live-scroll on/off, quantization, zooming, overwrite on/off, events record, parameter record, automation record, powerful midi-masking and usual functions such as Range, cut, copy, paste, delete, move.

Real-time record and automation
Events and parameters can be recorded real-time while playing, with PC keyboard and mouse and/or Midi Keyboard.
Automation parameter assignment allows a slider/knob on a midi keyboard to control one or more parameters in one or more plug-ins. The Midi Mask allows to avoid interference with midiCC, in case automation is preferred to midiCC.

Piano-roll track split view
Provides a powerful alternative tool to view and edit note events and is seamless integrated with the sequencer structure.

Pattern markers and pattern calls
For each pattern, up to 256 markers can be defined. Pattern calls (non-recursive) allow to call a pattern from any other one, pointing at a marker, defining transposition and velocity scaling.

Steinberg VST2.3 Host
AODIX v4 provides a very enhanced support for VST plug-ins. VST effects as well as VST instruments can be chained and wired in the modular Routing view. Playing a VST instrument and tweaking knobs in other VSTs at the same time is possible, using PC keyboard and mouse and Midi Keyboard. Multi-output is supported for multi-output plug-ins.
In order to allow “send” schemes, a “VST output duplicator” plug-in is delivered with Aodix.

Audio / Project / Bounce Inputs/Outputs and Formats
Aodix supports only ASIO I/O (multi-channel). MME can be supported indirectly by using a ASIO/MME/WDM Wrapper (not delivered with Aodix). Aodix uses a proprietary file format for project saving. It can import midi files. It renders audio to either several 32-bit float IEEE single-channel files, or one single 32-bit float multi-channel IEEE file. Loading/saving Fxp and Fxb files is supported.

Senso Music

NOTE: THIS IS THE ‘FREE’ VERSION, AND IS LIMITED TO 1 STEREO INPUT, 1 STEREO OUTPUT, AND 4 TRACKS. PROGRAM APPEARS VERY COMPLICATED.

Usine is an patch oriented sound software where you can add plug-ins and connect them without restriction. The main purpose of this program is to provide a real time analysis of an input signal and then react with, and modify plug-in parameters to produce the sound.

Features

-	Analyse input or generated sound, for example pitch, peaks or dynamics to create adaptive effects, modify any parameter in real time.
-	Use the built-in virtual mixing table to mix the sound produced by different patches on each tracks (up to 16).
-	Organize patches, sounds, and effects on a timeline with the sequencer mode. Create complex automations curves. Very powerful Modular Mixing concept
-	Unlimited number of internal audio buses.
-	SMPTE synchronization with external sequencers. MIDI Time Code and MIDI Machine Control support.
-	Create huge, creative or stupid audio routing within the mixing table. For example, routing, a patch output to another patch input, or create a virtual master effect send and return, etc.
-	Manage 20 external audio sources (10 stereo) and apply different effects to any of them.
-	Create flexible Surround (up to 16 channels) projects: all audio tracks are 7.1, 8.0 or 16.0. The output sound can routed to any of the 20 available outputs, depending on your sound card.
-	Create inserts patches on any input / output channels. For example a master limiter or a master reverb.
-	Complete VST® processing: You can use any VST instruments or effect in patches and modify any VST Parameter in real time. Create a front-end simple interface.
-	Complete MIDI automation: assign any Usine visual object to a midi controller very simply by using the midi-learn command. Complete integration of motorized external controllers.
-	Complete MIDI input/output management, for VSTi instruments or external expanders.
-	Load up to 256 patches in memory in a “grid” and activate them as you want in real time.
-	Synchronize patches and VST plug-ins with a master tempo. Use unusual and absurd tempo from 0! To 10000000000!
-	Record your creations directly on the hard disk in real time: separate tracks, inputs and outputs.
-	All Usine functions are “real-time”, and you can resample, modify, input sound on the fly.
-	Of course, save patches, complete workspaces, and configurations, for a very quick adaptation to different projects.
-	Use any sample rate, depending on your Asio sound card. Usine has a 32 bit floating point audio engine.
-	Unlimited number of internal Audio, Data and Midi buses,
-	Unlimited Undo/Redo.
-	Include scripting capabilities to create complex patches in a Pascal-like language,
-	Full Open Sound Control (OSC) compatibility to communicate with other computers connected to the network or Internet,
-	If you are a C++ or Delphi programmer you can easily create new users modules with the API.

Sonic Visualizer

Sonic Visualiser is an application for viewing and analysing the contents of music audio files.

The aim of Sonic Visualiser is to be the first program you reach for when want to study a musical recording rather than simply listen to it.

As well as a number of features designed to make exploring audio data as revealing and fun as possible, Sonic Visualiser also has powerful annotation capabilities to help you to describe what you find, and the ability to run automated annotation and analysis plugins in the Vamp analysis plugin format – as well as applying standard audio effects.

We hope Sonic Visualiser will be of particular interest to musicologists, archivists, signal-processing researchers and anyone else looking for a friendly way to take a look at what lies inside the audio file.

Sonic Visualiser contains features for the following:

• Load audio files in WAV, Ogg and MP3 formats, and view their waveforms.
• Look at audio visualisations such as spectrogram views, with interactive adjustment of display parameters.
• Annotate audio data by adding labelled time points and defining segments, point values and curves.
• Overlay annotations on top of one another with aligned scales, and overlay annotations on top of waveform or spectrogram views.
• View the same data at multiple time resolutions simultaneously (for close-up and overview).
• Run feature-extraction plugins to calculate annotations automatically, using algorithms such as beat trackers, pitch detectors and so on.
• Import annotation layers from various text file formats.
• Import note data from MIDI files, view it alongside other frequency scales, and play it with the original audio.
• Play back the audio plus synthesised annotations, taking care to synchronise playback with display.
• Select areas of interest, optionally snapping to nearby feature locations, and audition individual and comparative selections in seamless loops.
• Time-stretch playback, slowing right down or speeding up to a tiny fraction or huge multiple of the original speed while retaining a synchronised display.
• Export audio regions and annotation layers to external files.

A DJ (disk jockey) is a person who selects and plays prerecorded music for an audience. This, of course, covers those folks who spin tunes at the radio station, the guy who plugged in his iPod at your wedding, and the gentleman who (according to Wikipedia) raps, toasts, and chats over prerecorded tracks at various social gatherings (though in this case they prefer to be known as deejays).
Today, however, we are going to be looking at the baggy-pants, subwoofer, headphones over one ear school of DJing. The first step is to pick a name - which is almost always “DJ” followed by the name of a science-fiction novel. The second step is to visit some of the following and edjukate yourself:

One of the most difficult aspects of starting a band is finding the right members. This may seem surprising with all of the musicians in the world these days, but there are many things to consider when asking someone to join your band - such as; their reliability, their personality, their dedication, ability, location, and family commitments (they may not be able to leave their wife/child to rock out on a Wednesday night). While the local music store ad board, or newspaper can help you to find band members, you’re on the Internet right now, so why not save some time and check these sites out:

Band Mix is a popular site, they serve US, Canada, and the UK.

Blue Cat

Blue Cat’s FreqAnalyst is a free spectrum analyzer plugin that lets you monitor the spectral content of your audio signal in real time. It has been designed to provide extreme smoothness and high resolution for both time and frequency: unlike most spectrum analyzers, Blue Cat’s FreqAnalyst is able to display continuous variations even with a very high frequency resolution, thanks to its unique smooth interpolation algorithms.

Most aspects of the audio to frequency display conversion can be managed, which lets you total control over the monitoring. A special thresholding system has been developed to help you see the important parts of the spectrum easily. In case you need extra precision in a particular frequency range, you can zoom the display and check the part of the graph you are interested in.

As shown in the screenshots, you can use the new opacity management feature to make the plug-in window transparent and see what is behind: forget about your multiple display setup, you do not need it anymore! You can now check the spectrum of your mix and see your audio tracks behind. This feature is also particularly useful when you want to compare the spectrum of two tracks: just stack your two FreqAnalyst windows and see the difference!

This is excellent for pads.
Chimera is an experimental synth that uses subtractive synthesis in a new way. White noise is sent through a series of narrow bandpass filters which are controlled by pitch. The filtered noise is used as resonant sinewaves to create pads, atmospheres, organs and percussive sounds. In other words, everything you hear from Chimera is white noise being filtered into music - in realtime.
