I am a musician specializing in corporate events (not a DJ). I was hired for an event 3 months out. 3 Days before the event the client told my event planner that they wanted a dj instead of a musician. The planner told them they would still need to pay the musician at such short notice so the client decided to just go with me playing live music. When I set of for the event it was clear that they were pissed that I was there, so I said, "what if I DJ for you instead?" I had installed djay pro on my iPad and so I just connected my iPad to my PA and used djay pro to DJ their event. It was awesome. Client was happy and I got paid just the same. Thank you djay Pro!!
If the question is posed like that, from my point of view you can answer with a clear conscience in the meantime: Yes, you can work as a DJ with the iPad - and I personally like that, I find the idea extremely charming. But you should take a few circumstances into account. With a controller and other external devices you have more possibilities to perform. In addition, the iPad brings with it some technical limitations. So you will always have to work with different adaptations. On a real gig, it's also usually problematic to pre-listen to a channel on the headphones, because the volume on the headphone output is much too low. And so there are a few other things that you should at least pay attention to. I think it depends on what you want to achieve in the end.
Yes, I think you are very smart and I’m glad you made this video because it definitely opens peoples eyes and minds to what the future will bring. And that is definitely easier than setting up all the equipment that you have to set up to Dj an event.
Hey man, I have a question, normally with a laptop you would get two audio outputs one for monitoring with headphones and one for the PA, how does that work with this setup, you didnt mention anything about that. Thanks in advance
Justin loved this video! So helpful! I have a question? With the iPad what is the best way to connect a microphone. Especially if your doing an event and need to possibly walk across the room with the microphone to speak? Thanks Justin! Subscribed. Love your work. Much appreciated sir. 🙂
Hi you can use an external mixer and connect a wireless mic or use a DJ controller with a mic input or with a usb- c iPad and a few adaptors you can connect a mic to the iPad directly
Check out this video it is one of my older videos from when I was starting out on youtube and not edited that well but it should help th-cam.com/video/IMsgzCyb8gY/w-d-xo.html
Ok, how do you preview songs with a headphone? You need 2 Soundcards in order to do that. How to connect? I hav been told that you can't do that with that little multiport adapter. So please let us know.
Thanx for a great show! I’m Deejaying but still haven’t figured out how to be able to pre-listen to the next song in my headphones while playing another son on the other deck. What do I need to buy/do to make this possible?
Hi I’ve used the idj pro with the iPad for many years. Do you know if numark will ever release a new version of the idj pro . As mine is looking dated and I’ve got 2 . One for back up .
Hey Justin, love your enthusiasm. Do you have any links to a dj actually djing using the iPad? Have you done any sets that j you don't mind sharing with us?
Hi Yes internet is only required for DJing with Streaming, and I made many videos about pre Cueing with Djay Pro th-cam.com/video/bGL2I6UiR8I/w-d-xo.html
Justin - your passion , knowledge & outright enthusiasm for all things Ipad/DJ Pro ..... is infectious !!!! Thank you for all your video's - theyre unique !! Question - i have DJP/Neural and interested in going Ipad ( old one now 10 yrs old, so need to buy new ....... but ........ still want 'some knobs/sliders etc. Have you ever mapped the Xone K2 ( technically is supported by midi ) to an Ipad ....... & if so - how easy do you think it will be for a 'Newbie' ?? yes, realise i need two, if 4 channel required. Thanks for any help from UK.
Hi everyone! I think we are all seeing it comming. The technology is in fact better and offering performances at a high levels with the AI behind it. Some products may have such an improvement over the mobile DJ. I still feel the need to use a controler because sometimes we may have some issues such as the loss of signal in some remote area and the show we put on as a DJ may be underated because anyone can be a DJ with that. I'm convinced that it will bring more DJ to perform better but are we missing the point of being a DJ? I come from the vinyl era.. maybe it's just about the image. ;) To be realistic, i would use it for small venues because there's no need for bulky equipments and i would charge a little less to the client.
Will an ipad 9th generation work? I have a chance to get on at 50% off through my T-Mobile account. It says it uses a A13 Bionic chip. Thanks for getting back to me on this Justin!!!!
@@justinspiegel6841 Thanks for the reply! Wonderful job keep it up. Consider some lights and a backdrop to really bring a more professional look to your content. Keep it up friend!!
Can you still use a controller with this I have a ddj sb3 I'm at a loss with all the Os upgrades I've just bought a chrome book and serato or rekordbox won't run
This is something I was considering trying out. I got an iPad to use with the Reloop Buddy (and DJPro Software). I absolutely love the software!!! But I had some problems with my Reloop Buddy. First off it seemed super picky about what kind of power source I used and would not work with things that really should have worked, it was also inconsistent with things that worked in one place but then wouldn’t work in another. Secondly the output of the music quality sounded so bad!!!! I tried getting higher quality cords but that didn’t work. Mind you all these things I used to use with a pioneeer Dj-sr2 and Serrato. So I returned it. I considered getting another one in case it was just a fluke but haven’t yet. But this got me thinking could I just use the iPad alone?? When I would practice and make set points I would often do so with just the iPad. But I guess my big questions is: how do you DJ without using any headphones to preview songs? Do you just rely heavily on cue points?

I'm not agree. The biggest problem of any tablet PC is lack of multichannel. You can't listen a track with headphones while another is playing to main. I wish I could be wrong. So if you know how to make multichannel output on IPad, please tell me.
@@justinspiegel6841 You're right. But that adapter gives just 2 mono outputs, but this is not an option when stereo is needed. I have an MIDI-controller, but sometimes I find myself in situations when iPad is the only tool.

Thanks for the input I agree it is a different experience and there are limitations
and correction.. the days of Djing with a laptop is not over, one simply has options should you choose not to.
I have wanted to do this for the last few years. Thanks for giving me the push to try something new.

The best way is to get a cheep “non Bluetooth” controller that has a soundcard like the Numark DJ2GO2 Touch
Hey Justin, how do u preview a song ur going to mix like u do on a controller from the software?

I hope so! I had one ad it was the best. I think the Numark mix stream is the new one
Hi, thanks for the videos 😊how do I get the sound over to me Apple home pods or on my mixer ? I have a iPad usb on the mixer. Thanks
hello: just a question if i have a DJ pro account for my Ipad do i have to buy another one for my laptop and my iphone
Yes
Hey Justin, love your enthusiasm. Do you have any links to a dj actually djing using the iPad? Have you done any sets that j you don't mind sharing with us?
You can look up laidback He DJs with Djay Pro for huge events
Great video, thanks
Hello thanks for the info! Can I dj offline only using local music? Moreover, is it possible to use headphones for better controlling the mix?
Hi Yes internet is only required for DJing with Streaming, and I made many videos about pre Cueing with Djay Pro th-cam.com/video/bGL2I6UiR8I/w-d-xo.html
Just curious, I use the same program. It’s great but when you do Wi-Fi, it does not work. What do you do in that case thank you.

Curious on how to use headphones for cue on rev1 ?
Hi Justin,can you some how connect a
microphone to use whilst DJing??
Yes you will need a controller with a mic import or speaker/mixer with mic input
Best off with a Yamaha MG10 mixer with Effects it will sound a lot better
Ipad 4th generation has available all the ai neural mix features?
hi . i have a ipad 3 and pioneer wego . how can i connect them together . what i need . thanks
You just need a good adapter to plug into the iPad is it lighting or usb c
I just downloaded this and I must say it’s not bad.
Nice! Let me know if you have any questions
Will an ipad 9th generation work? I have a chance to get on at 50% off through my T-Mobile account. It says it uses a A13 Bionic chip. Thanks for getting back to me on this Justin!!!!
Excellent!
Glad you liked it!
Hey Justin, Hope you are well. Any IPad DJ options for Spotify or TH-cam music?
Hi thanks for reaching out unfortunately no DJ software has those options but I would recommend Djay Pro AI and Tidal streaming service
@@justinspiegel6841 Thanks for the reply! Wonderful job keep it up. Consider some lights and a backdrop to really bring a more professional look to your content. Keep it up friend!!
Hey Justin if i put the auto mix on the Ipad with DJay Pro why the songs don't play until the end of the song it changes to the next deck? thank you
Hi What size is your DJ ipad? Also what iPad generation would you recommend? Many thanks.
I have the 2018 iPad pro I would recomand getting an iPad with usb-c connection
Can you still use a controller with this I have a ddj sb3 I'm at a loss with all the Os upgrades I've just bought a chrome book and serato or rekordbox won't run
What connector do you use? I need to power the iPad and have an audio out and headphones. I got one on Amazon but it broke immediately.
Hi I added a link to the description USB C to 3.5mm Headphone and Charger

Do you just rely heavily on cue points?
Yes you can adjust your DJ style to use visual cues and cue points or you can get a headphone splitter and use headphones with the iPad.
How did you open the search box in the video on iPad?
Which iPad do you recommend with djay pro ai. I want to make sure I have a smooth as possible operating system overall. Please let me know thx
go with a iPad Pro with USB-C connection I have the 11 in from 2018 and it works perfect
Can Spotify be used as well with dj pro?
Unfortunately not Tidal is next best
Can you implement Spotify as well? Show us how to do prober transitions from 50 Cent to let´s say Eminem. thanks
Spotify is no longer integrated in DJ softwares and I am going to be releasing more transition videos soon.
Cool content
It will let you learn how to dj
What about a microphone to use whilst DJing???
You can get a controller/ mixer with a mic input
How do you cue (headphone) the music ?
All you need is a headphone splitter cable
i can use microSDXC to play my files from tablet ??????
Thanks fo reaching out is it a Apple or Android Device?
Apple
Can my music source be Spotify Apple Music, Amazon music? And still work with that app?
Im sorry but not at the moment and probably never because of copyright issues
Does it have Auto Play?
Yes there is a very advanced auto mix feature that uses AI technology!
I try it and 50% of the music library I have isn’t available
Which speakers?
I would recommend A PA style setup with a built in mixer so you can practice at home and also do gigs

does it have to be an iPad Pro or can I do this with a 10th generation iPad
The usb-c connection of the iPad pro makes it alot more powerful

@@Mr.AlFigueroa yes that model is great for DJing I put a link for it in the description of this video for you

Awesome!
Nice, and what is your controller please?
Anyone know if this app can integrate Apple Music?
No it is not intergrated
I have the same app on my iPad and I have used it during my work hours at the wildcat bistro for my school😊
Nice the app is amazing
It’s the pend s 😀
Just remember you have to pay as well. 😂
there is a free version to get started with
fact check actually you're wrong 1:55 it is 2024
