The middle section can instead feature two AudioSamplers to trigger samples, show video samples, add notes and more. Both decks include the essential DJ tools, such as cue, hot cue, loop, play, pitch slider and more. You can create folders and playlists with the fiel management section below each deck, too, and import playlists from iTunes, Apple Music and M3U files.
The main caveat is that the free demo version of UltraMixer Pro Entertain only allows you to try the software for a maximum of 60 minutes before needing to start it up again. Still, UltraMixer supports over 80 DJ controllers, making it a viable option for getting to grips with a new DJ controller before paying for more comprehensive software.

Best freeware of the month: January Best sample packs of the month: January It has a highly intuitive interface, with the full mixer including crossfader, channel faders, EQs and more all displayed on your screen.
You can use it purely for laptop DJing , but it has also been mapped to a huge range of hardware, so the chances are that if you own a controller, it will be compatible with Mixxx. There are also plenty of features of the kind you need for creative DJing, including a four-deck option, looping, BPM detection and key detection, allowing you to do all the stuff you would on more expensive gear.
However, you have to pay a monthly subscription for the full version or a large flat fee — which might put some hobbyists or beginners off. Fortunately, there is a free version that allows you to use the most important basic features without paying a thing.
This is a solid option for novice DJs who are just learning the craft. Cross DJ Free is a fun way for beginners to try out DJing for the first time — and also for more advanced DJs to keep developing their skills on the decks. I like the simple and intuitive interface this software offers.
To anyone with even the vaguest idea about how DJing works, everything is easy to find and simple to master. This software offers the possibility of four-deck mixing, and there are all the standard features you would expect to find, including loops, scratching, effects and more. I also like the way it incorporates hot cues, just like you have on physical DJ controllers or players.
One thing this software offers that not all the competitors have is video-DJing capability. This means you can also have a go at mixing videos, something that makes this option stand out from the crowd. One of the big selling points is the super-simple layout that anyone will be able to understand, allowing you to start playing music and mixing tunes right away. This means you can get right into the transitions, blending your tracks and building your set.
As well as your basic crossfader, there are also low, mid and hi EQs, letting you attempt some slightly more advanced mixing techniques. You can also record what you do, so you can listen back later or even put your mix online.
Ok, sure, this is not one for more advanced DJs — this is aimed squarely at the kind of person who just wants to play around with a bit of music without spending any money. This software is compatible with both Windows and Mac and includes all the features you need to learn the fundamentals of the art of DJing. Often, people start out DJing on laptops with free software, but the next step is usually to buy a controller to give you a more tactile experience — and with this software, you can take that step without the need to learn a new interface.
Other features include a channel sampler and an advanced EQ panel, but on the downside, if you use the free version, you have to reload it every hour, which will limit its practicality if you want to use it for gigs.
