Deckadance: DJ Mixing Software

Mix tracks, apply effects, and perform live sets with Deckadance, a popular DJ mixing software that integrates with controllers and vinyl turntables.

What is Deckadance?

Deckadance is digital DJ mixing software developed by Image-Line, the creators of FL Studio. It is designed for DJs to mix tracks, whether playing live or creating mixes to record. Deckadance allows you to beatmatch tracks, apply effects like filters, flangers, reverbs, and more in real-time. You can use the software standalone by using your computer keyboard and mouse, or connect DJ controllers and even vinyl turntables via timecode vinyl to control Deckadance.

Some key features of Deckadance include: support for all major audio file formats, customizable interface with skins, recording your mixes internally or broadcasting live, integration with MIDI and DJ controllers, advanced equalizers and effects processors, timecode vinyl control, sampling, automatic BPM detection and sync, and more. It is available as a download for Windows and Mac platforms.

Deckadance competes against other established DJ software options like Serato DJ, Traktor Pro, Virtual DJ, and Rekordbox. It stands out for its seamless integration with Image-Line's FL Studio for music production and remixing capabilities. If you already own FL Studio, Deckadance integrates nicely allowing you to easily preview and mix down your FL Studio creations.
