SAM Party DJ is a software that comes bundled with professional tools designed for audio mixing.

Upon initiating the software, follow a quick wizard in which you can add audio files to the media library, default special effects and demo files, as well as select playback and recording audio devices.

The interface may seem overwhelming to beginners, since the software is mainly developed for advanced users. SAM Party DJ includes features such as beat matching, instant song search, and album cover support.

You can view several parts in the UI: two decks, auxiliary, clock, fade control, sound effects, voice effects, voice-tracking, queue, history, playlist, and tracks in selected category, but you can also enable view of video display and event log.

First you have to organize music into specific categories (create them in the playlist window). Music can be added via the drag and drop method, from queue, or from other categories.

Songs can be organized according to their type (in the right-click menu), and these include normal song, karaoke, station ID, promo, jingle, and advertisements.

The playlist is configured by setting Playlist Rotation Rules from the Config window in File menu. If you leave the usage of ghost queue enabled, SAM Party DJ will cache the next song into its memory, loading is faster.

In Configuration, you can change preferences for the audio mixer pipeline, cross-fading, gap killer, playlist rotation rules, and general settings. The playlist rotation logic module is either based on web scripting, clockwheel (category rotation), or on weight.

Unfortunately, the program's online help page mainly focuses on the organizational aspect of SAM Party DJ, so if you do not have basic experience in audio mixing, it will be very hard for you to learn how to use this application.

The program uses a medium amount of system resources, and it did not cause any errors during our tests. We strongly recommend SAM Party DJ to power users.
