Something wicked new is coming to iPad, courtesy of Algoriddim, the maker of ultra-popular DJ app djay. Billed as "paving the way for the next generation of personal and professional video creativity", vjay for iPad appears prepared to do just that: This is a new art form in the making.

Vjay allows you to easily mix music video; create unique audio/video mash-ups of your own; add special effects (fisheye, strobe, twirl and others); alter the speed of these effects; and trick out your mixes with transition effects that include cube, grid, blend, push, and more. Other editing tools allow you to remove unwanted portions of your video (goodbye skits and breaks!), reverse the footage (play backwards), loop your video or have it roll in slow motion – all in real time

After you've gotten that mix just right you can tap the red record button to fuse your videos and music in real time and share your flick with friends in your favorite social-network, stream to an Apple TV device or save it to the iPad for the next gig.

Vjay also includes iTunes integration that allows you to preview and purchase music videos right from within the app, and the option to use the iPad's camera to quickly record video and combine it with any song from your music library.

While $9.99 isn't cheap for an app, vjay provides value a-plenty as a powerful, easy-to-use tool for video editors and music mixers alike.

And the winner is...

The challenge was thrown down last May: Give us a video shout-out telling us how Promo has impacted your DJ career, post your mini-masterpiece on our Facebook page and you could walk away with a FREE year of our new ultimate all-audio, all-video POOL Platinum subscription (a $1200.00 value).

Here's how one enterprising subscriber, not coincidentally the winner of our 20th Anniversary shout-out contest, chose to respond…

What does Rob Thorp of TNT Entertainment NC have to say about picking up 12 months of music and music video on the house? "It took me five minutes, if that, to put this together. Less than that to post it. And I meant every word of it. POOL has changed the way I do business – for the better."

Five minutes. That how easy it was to enter. And win big.

Congrats to Rob, who will not be paid, of course, for the use of his our favorite new phrase: Say yes to the request. Get POOL.

Introducing the Pioneer RMX1000 Remix Station All aboard.

Controllerism is the name of today's game; demand for more and better live remix tools has never been higher. Pioneer has clearly picked up on this and in typical Pioneer fashion come up with a cool, ultra-modern solution, the RMX-1000 – a unit that promises to be the most exciting launch of the year… for DJs and producers at least.

Check this…

The RMX-1000's secret ingredient lies with four real-time remixing functions, all of which allow you to take full command of any track...

Isolate FX allows you to control hi, low or mid frequencies with a variety of kill and filter effects controlled through three separate, clearly labeled rotary controls.

X-Pad FX allows you to manipulate and add samples through the ribbon strip. You can also use an SD card for easy and convenient loading and transfer. X-Pad also acts as a beat machine so you can add your own kicks, snare, and claps as well as tap into a preloaded bank of samples.

Release FX removes the program signal leaving only the effect, leaving the digital door open for classic analog effects such as braking and backspins, all of which can be sped up or slowed down.

Scene FX gives you the option to choose between five build up or break down effects including echo, reverb, spiral and more, all easily controlled by the large rotary control on the right of the unit.

Our take: While a little pricey by some standards ($999.00 list; $799.00 street), you can't beat the value of a unit that provides you with editing software, performance hardware and VST/AU plug-ins at this price point. If you've ever thought about taking it from DJ to DJ/Producer, this is the gear you'll want to spring for this year.

Tip of the Month:
POOL: Save by the Song

Ask yourself this: If you could find a service that puts six songs in your pocket for the price of a single iTunes download, without the hassle of cherry-picking the right version or the worry of playing a song that's not licensed for public play; that serves up every song you need (including the ones you don't know you need) at a price point that allows for access to hundreds of Clean Edits, Dance Edits, Intro Edits and Quick Edits each month, wouldn't it just make sense to try it?

You can. Today. Call or email us for a free trial of POOL and see what you've been missing.
