Do I need to buy it for iPhone and for iPad too? No, you only need to buy it once and it's working on both iPad and iPhone (and iPod touch too). Future DJ is a universal app - works on all iOS devices provided they are fast enough. How can I learn more about this app and how to use it? You can look at the Videos/Tutorials or browse the Forums and discuss with other people What hardware controllers do you recommend? Hardware controllers only work on the iPad (since the iPhone has too little current/voltage to power the controller). Also, in order to work with the iPad the controller has to be USB MIDI-class compliant and we have to support it. At the moment we support the following hardware controllers:
  • Akai LPD8
  • Numark DJ2Go
More controllers are coming for iPad so stay tuned.
IMPORTANT: you need to have the Apple Camera Kit Connector in order to connect the USB cable to the iPad
When I'm trying to pre-listen (cue) a song in the other deck, it doesn't work If you need headphones preview (cueing), use a special inexpensive adapter (called a Splitter) that splits the device stereo output so that the left channel will go to the speakers (master output) and right channel will go to the headphones (monitor). You also need to activate the Split Mode from the app's preferences. I have some tracks on the device that don't seem to work Maybe they are old DRMed files -- these simply won't work. Try with other non-DRM tracks. What is a cue point? A cue point records a position in a song for easy re-finding of good/interesting mixing positions. You may think of it as a bookmark in a book. Can I record my mixes? Yes, you can record your mixes in AIFF format. You can later retrieve the file in iTunes:
  • connect the device to iTunes and select it
  • choose the Apps tab and scroll down to File Sharing
  • select Future DJ and you can see the recordings - you can copy them on your disk
