There are multiple loop options, including 1,2,4, or 8 beat loop sample recording options. These samples can then be automatically synced to the tempo through its beat detection feature. Another outstanding feature is the software's ReLooper feature.There is a volume control feature as well as a tool that allows for these samples to be layered, creating a more enriched track. This tool slices and then rearranges the created samples onto either Deck A or Deck B, allowing for easier organization. There are also multiple effects options included in the ReLooper, which include the panoramic LFO, ring-modulator, wha-wha filter. Master ReLooper effects include a wha-wha filter, a low-fi distortion option, as well as a track coder which combines a low-fi distortion option along with a vocoder.

Full Deckadance 2.5 Reviewĭeckadance is one of those DJ apps that’s been around for a while – it started almost 10 years ago under developer Image-Line, maker of the popular Fruity Loops / FL Studio digital audio workstation. It brought innovations like hosting third-party VST plugins (EQs, compressors) as well as the ability to be inserted as a plugin itself in another DAW. In this review we take a look at Deckadance 2.5, which is the first Deckadance version to be released after it was acquired by Stanton DJ from Image-Line. There are two versions of Deckadance – Standard and DVS which lets you use it with third-party timecode CDs and vinyl like Mixvibes, Torq, Ms Pinky, and Serato Scratch Live.

I downloaded the Deckadance DVS installer from its website – it comes as a fully-working version of the software with a six second “mute” that kicks in once in a while until you’ve registered it.Īt the time of this writing there are only a handful of controllers that come natively mapped to it, but with Stanton breathing new life to it that could change in the near future.

I hooked up my Hercules Universal DJ (one of the newer supported controllers), and got to work.

The main interface of Deckadance 2.5 looks like a cross between Traktor Pro 2 and Virtual DJ 8 – you’ve got two decks on the upper half of the screen (extendable to four), a section in the middle that can be swapped (mixer, effects, sampler, scratch mode / vertical waveforms, VST plugins, and Grossbeat mode), and a Browser section for the lower half.
