-- djDecks includes a high-quality three-band equalizer per player. You can configure the cut-off frequencies of each band to create cool filtering effects. You also get an advanced effect panel with effects such as echo, flanger and gapper. It's very easy to create instant-loops up to 8 beats long with just a simple click on a button. To select your songs you can use the playlist and file browser. It loads all the id3 tags and shows the songs found based on id3 tags so you get the information displayed the way you want it, instead of by filename.

-- djDecks can also be controlled by external hardware such as an external analog mixer, or by dj controllers such as the Hercules DJ Console or the Behringer BCD-2000. If you want to have the feeling of mixing with vinyl, yet have the advantages of digital files, then you'll definitely want to check out djDecks' TimeCoded vinyl plugins. Using special vinyls that contain a special code, your mp3's will follow the exact speed and location of the needle on the control record.
