Touch DJ offers realtime independent manipulation of 2 MP3 files, including scratching, looping, positioning, equalization, effects and and pitching. The unique futuristic user-friendly interface of Touch DJ and the highly advanced zero-latency sound engine bring fantastic results comparable to what can be done with professional hardware equipment.Traditionally iPhone and iPod Touch have only one stereo audio output which broadens the possibility of using them as a DJ device. Touch DJ overcomes this limitation by offering innovative and unique way of deejaying which doesn’t require additional headphones for prelistening to the tracks. This technology is called “visual mixing” and it implies the graphic display of the track waveforms next to each other.

ceeFrenzy For iPhone Provides Pocket Vinyl Price Guide

Semantik — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:26:51 +0000

Out of date vinyl price guides are no match for the constantly fluctuating prices of hot items. The iPhone app ceeFrenzy attempts to take some of the guesswork out assessing the current value of vinyl by gathering data from completed E-Bay sales.

Of course, E-Bay prices are certainly not an ideal measure of total value, but having an idea of what price a record could fetch can definitely come in handy in a number of situations.

ceeFrenzy costs $1.99

Visit Collectors Frenzy or iTunes for more info.
