These are terrible examples of “DJ” software. Definitively not a top 5. The only decent one there is Mixxx. You might find an use for Sound Forge in the future, if you gain some experience. But for real DJ software, take a look at Native Instruments Traktor, M-Audio Torq and Serato Itch. They’re not any more expensive and are the real deal. |
