future.dj pro 1.9.1 Maintenance Release
Summer is already here so instead of a spring cleanup we have a summer one instead. DJ maintenance is important too 🙂 This new 1.9.1 version is mainly a maintenance release. We have fixed some important crashes and also made under-the-hood improvements. We recommend you update to this new version especially if you had any crashes with the recent releases. However, on Windows we have temporarily disabled the MsPinky support so you might want to skip this release if you need timecoded vinyls...
New Release: future.dj pro 1.9.0 incl. Karaoke Ticker
Version 1.9 is ready for you to download and test now. We've added a karaoke ticker (text scroller) - this can be used with the Karaoke Singers List but also as stand-alone (eg. with a custom message). Also for karaoke we have added the ability to easily see the Performing Now status in the singers list. If you like to mix your tracks a bit hotter (maybe you dial your EQ or Gain a bit higher than usual) we have added an Audio Limiter. This will greatly help getting rid of any audio distortions...

2020 Year in Review for Xylio and DJs
We can certainly say that 2020 was a strange year. Lockdown year we might call it. Pretty much all DJs and KJs have had problems getting gigs to perform to and earning revenue for themselves and the family. 2020 year in review is basically an overview of what we and our fellow DJs did in 2020. Some of the more inventive DJs adapted to this new reality and embraced streaming / performing for radios or made collaborations with different companies to mix live for their online parties. Others...

We have also made some Metal rendering improvements which means future.dj pro 1.8.2 runs even better on your Mac. Now, for something that you will appreciate if you host Karaoke (on Windows or Mac). We've added a new option (enabled...

Mix-in-Key (Harmonic Mixing) Improvements in future.dj pro 1.8.1
If you're musically inclined or simply want your mixes to sound great you'll need to mix-in-key your tracks, also known as Harmonic Mixing. This is a technique where you're not only matching the BPM/tempo and beats but also matching the Musical Key. Why does a mix sound this good when you're also mixing in-key? Because the more notes 2 tracks have in common, the more alike they will sound. Notes? Yeah, stuff like C, D, E, F, G, A, B (or Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si). If both tracks are in, say,...
New controller: Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500
Future.dj pro adds support for a brand new controller from Hercules (released just a couple of weeks ago), the Inpulse 500. This is probably the best DJ controller Hercules has released thus far - the general feeling is of a high-quality controller. It looks pretty nice and it's even nicer in-the-flesh than in the picture). All the buttons press firmly with a satisfying click - especially the 16 PADs which are RGB. They can be different colours depending on the mode they're in. What also sets...
