What is DJuced?<\/h2>\n\n\n

DJuced is software for DJs to perform gigs with digital music.
This software is meant to be bundled with Hercules DJ controllers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a Windows and Mac version.
In this review I’m testing the Windows version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can analyze your music for BPM<\/a>, beatgrid<\/a> and key<\/a>.
The music you are currently playing is displayed on the top of the screen.
Your collection is displayed at the bottom right and playlists on the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The software comes with a bunch of demo tracks, which I really like!
Very useful for the beginner to get their feet wet and start playing immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n

User Interface and usability<\/h2>\n\n\n

The software User Interface is pretty uncluttered and easy to understand.
What I like is that there aren’t any buttons to hide and display extra panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people call that customizability, I call it annoying.
Don’t know about you, but sometimes I click on a button (I never intended to click) and my screen changes.
I didn’t know what I clicked, or how to get the previous screen back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also for following along with tutorials, it’s annoying because you always have a different looking screen than your teacher.
Everything seems to be here in DJuced, in one screen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I do have to say that the software looks a bit outdated.
Nothing that feature-wise that prohibits you from using the software.
But a bit of eye candy would be nice though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like the CUE and PLAY button to be larger.
Those are buttons you use often, and in clubs with sticky surfaces, with small buttons you need to aim extremely precise, which takes time.<\/p>\n\n\n

Different modes<\/h3>\n\n\n

DJuced has different modes, which made me think a little bit about Rekordbox<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
