Tau DJ v1i

I’m not sure why the developer decided to rewrite this app to be cross platform (including web browsers?) It’s less stable, widgets feel “off”. And the library browsing/previewing is unusable. In DJPP it was very intuitive and quick to use live. I’ll keep using DJPP till it stops working or Tau catches up. Judging by the progress in the release notes I worry it’ll be the former.

This app has some great improvements over DJPlayerPro. I also really appreciate the updated business model. As a vinyl DJ who prefers to use an iPad instead of a laptop, I really appreciate the DVS support and there were a few bugs from DJPlayerPro that I really appreciate being squashed.

To be fair, the creator has a Discord acct set up for chats about issues and bugs. And I believe he is trying to fix them. But as of right now, the platform is unusable. Too many display issues. Library search malfunctions more than it works. The wave forms often do not display correctly. Beatgrids are not displaying on the beat. Too bad DJPP is already discontinued. That was a great platform by the same creator, but this one is def not ready for public consumption. It is not reliable for DJing. Hopefully that will change soon. 🤞🏼
