Multi-Touch Trackpad Scratching & Control

Revolutionizing mobile digital mixing, djay lets you take full advantage of the two-finger or Multi-Touch trackpad built into any modern Mac laptop for scratching, mixing, and full interface control! Use two fingers to scratch the record just as you would on a real turntable, or move them horizontally to operate the crossfader. Digital mixing has never been closer to the acclaimed analog world.
