PC DJ Home Edition

This is a primer for those just starting out on the road to domestic deejaying. To that end it's even simpler to use than the other PCDJ titles, which are already noted for their user-friendliness. The central tool is a console that acts as both dashboard and toolbag for your musical doodlings. Using your mouse and this console you can mix your two virtual decks, match the two percussive rhythms, monitor the tempo of your dual outputs, create a playlist that predicts your own moods and sort your entire roster by title, artist, groove and so on. There are also some specially created three-minute tracks to get you started and inspired.

Any disbelievers could check the verdict of Nile Rogers, one of the most influential producers of all time. He is said to have remarked, when asked about the capabilities of PCDJ software: "Unbelievably easy to use. PCDJ is truly the wave of the future." --Sean Thomas
