DJ software

Beat-matching audio program

DJ software is computer software that replicates the functions of traditional DJ equipment—turntables, mixers, and effects units—allowing users to mix, blend, and manipulate digital audio files.

Features typically include beatmatching, crossfading, looping, and adding effects.

Professional DJs use it for live performances, while hobbyists use it for creating mixes at home: I learned to mix on DJ software before buying real decks.
