Algoriddim’s latest release, Djay Pro 5, is a solid update in the realm of DJ software. This version, available as Djay Pro for Mac and Djay Pro for iPad and even iOS, is designed to cater to the diverse needs of DJs and music enthusiasts, bringing an array of features and enhancements. We’ve long said that AI is the next big DJ, and Djay Pro 5 is proving it. Now, unless you’re a Serato, Rekordbox or Traktor loyalist, here’s my rundown of the latest edition of this popular DJ software.
Djay Pro AI: Neural Mix Stem Separation Update
AI technology in Djay Pro 5 has received upgrades. This time, it significantly enhances its Neural Mix stem separation feature. This improvement, stemming from a collaboration with AudioShake, exemplifies the cutting-edge capabilities of Djay Pro’s software. The Djay Pro AI makes it possible to separate and manipulate individual components of a track in real-time, providing unparalleled creative freedom for DJs.

Crossfader Fusion in Djay Pro 5
A standout feature in Djay Pro 5 is the Crossfader Fusion, which integrates automated mixing with crossfader effects. This feature – a clear sign of innovation in the Djay Pro app, delivers a refined and simplified mixing experience, ideal for both beginners and pros. Personally, the Crossfader Fusion is my favorite part of Djay Pro’s user-friendly design. Complex transitions are now easily accessible.
Fluid Beatgrid: A Breakthrough in Djay Pro for Mac and iPad
Djay Pro 5 also introduces Fluid Beatgrid technology, a significant advancement in beat-matching capabilities. This feature, particularly effective in Djay Pro for Mac and Djay Pro for iPad, gives me dynamic and accurate beat-matching for tracks with varying tempos.

Compatibility Across Devices, Controllers and More
Both in its Mac and iPad versions, Djay Pro supports a broad range of compatible controllers. You’re unlikely to find a DJ controller that may not work well here.
Djay Pro for iPad and Djay Pro for Mac also seem to utilize Apple’s M chips quite well, particularly when utilizing Djay Pro AI features like Neural Mix. It’s a nice look at the versatility and advanced engineering of going on within DJ software these days as they evolve to cater to various user needs and setups. That’s not to say it doesn’t work well on Windows.
Does Djay Pro work with Spotify? Of course, Djay Pro integrates with Spotify and other streaming services like Apple Music- in fact, Djay Pro on Spotify has been its USP for a while now.

Djay Pro for Mac and Djay Pro for iPad are available for download on their respective app stores. The full feature set for Djay Pro can be accessed via its Pro subscription.
How much does Djay Pro cost though? $6.99 per month or $49.99 annually – which is a reasonabe price. In effect, it’s high-quality, accessible DJ software for a wide range of users. And Djay Pro 5 is also available as a free upgrade to existing users.
