Yugen DJ

Expensive audio mixing software can be incredibly costly, especially for those who have just started their journey into the music industry. However, thanks to the power of technology and its thriving global community of developers, free alternatives that respect your privacy can be obtained easily, and Yugen DJ is a great example for both beginners and people who just want to occasionally impress their friends.

When booting up the program, the user is greeted by a simple virtual turntable layout that follows Microsoft’s Fluent design language, while also having support for dynamic light and dark modes synchronized with the system. The app supports playing two concomitant sound files, each with their own settings to tweak for real-time audio mixing. Scratch, rewind or pause the songs using dedicated discs that the user can interact with using the mouse or multitouch capable devices for a seamless experience.

Adjust the tempo according to the mood of the crowd, quickly fade songs in and out when having to change the beat, play a second song in the background at a lower volume and easily change the intensity of both tracks using easily accessible sliders.

Enthusiasts will be pleased to discover dedicated equalizers for fine-tuning the ongoing beats of each song. For those with access to a wider sound stage, support for two sound cards is available in order to allow the connection of multiple speakers, along with the ability to pick the master audio and headphones audio device for deejays using professional headgear.

The bottom toolbar contains small previews of the highs and lows of each song so that the user can determine when reducing the tempo or volume would be appropriate. A real-time volume and beat meter are also available for detailed monitoring capabilities.

Thanks to its turntable functions and support for a system with dual audio cards, Yugen DJ may be the perfect start for those looking to dive in the world of audio mixing or for those who want to impress their friends in a quick and free manner.
