Dj Splitter Cable And Djay For Ipad
You’ve heard the rumors, seen the videos, you may have even messed around with a DJ sort of app on an iPad before, but here it is – this is the real deal – here you go. What we’re looking at here is two bits of awesomeness, together combined to create one “it just works” sort of digital DJ situation. First there’s the djay app developed by algoriddim. This is an app that displays for you two tracks of music (or any sort of audio) that you can control with what everyone knows to be modern DJ controls. Equalize, mix, record, and play. And you can do it all with the hardware bit of this equation: the Griffin DJ Cable. Plug the cable into your iPad 2, start up the djay app, and you’ll be on your way to not just blasting out audio, but previewing it as you connect one of your two new ports into your pair of headphones, the other connected to your fabulous gigantic speakers.

If you were to use the djay app with a pair of headphones connected to your music device you'd hear the program track in one ear and the cue track in the other. This splitter cable is specifically designed to split the cue track and program track to separate outputs. — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth. Griffin Audio Splitter Cable for Algoriddim djay - Question mono/stereo output? June 2019 in General App Discussion. Djay’s acclaimed user interface has won multiple Apple Design Awards for excellence in design and ease of use. Building on that foundation, the new djay offers the most intuitive yet powerful interface we’ve ever made: a classic turntable and a mixer setup, an immersive Automix view with gorgeous album cover display, an all-new 2-Deck pro mode to view high resolution waveforms and your.
Now I’m not going to get too extremely in-depth with this app because while it’s created with the ability to tend to even the most high-class and skilled DJ folk on the block, it’s made simple enough for essentially any halfways intelligent and/or musically inclined humanoid to use with ease. Flip back and forth between tracks, speed up or slow down tracks, and turn up or down the tracks as you see fit. Add tracks automatically from a list or add them manually to either side as you need. You’ll be able to see the music levels above the records on either side to see how far you are in the track, and you’ll be able to mark any moment in the track with a pin then get back to that pin at the press of a button (these are the two buttons below the digital vinyl.) Album covers are displayed in the vinyl disks as well – it’s all pretty or totally nasty depending on your own collection of tunes.
All of this is relatively simple to use, once you figure out which each of these little switches and buttons mean, you’ll be able to keep your hands flying across all the bits without a hitch. One of the very awesome features on this app for all those who just want a long party from a playlist is the ability to set up that playlist, then set up an array of transitions between the tracks that use the beginning and ends of the tracks themselves to make it sound ever so natural – you could even pretend you’re doing it yourself if you’re a weirdo like that – no judgements!

Then comes the connection to the hardware, the simple cord splitter that plugs into the top of your iPad 2 and outputs to your high quality pair of headphones and your super awesome speaker set. What we’re outputting to here is slightly less than that just for the demo because we wanted something small and something bright, but you can bet that in our tests with the big guns, there’s been no ill will toward sound quality. Mostly because there’s no real loss of quality between the original port at the top of your iPad 2 and your new set of ports here, one for headphones, one for speakers. The DJ Cable does what it says it does, nothing more, nothing less, and it just works. That’s the theme here, working like it says it does.
The quality of this set, the app and the hardware, is reflected by the fact that Apple uses the app for their iPad TV commercials and can often be seen to be having it featured on their in-store iPad units. As far as the cord goes: you can purchase that in any Apple store as well. It’s almost as if this set doesn’t need another endorsement, but here it is: try out the app, and if you like it, buy it, and buy the cord too because you’re going to be glad you’ve got it once you’ve got it.
You can pick up the app on the iTunes app store for $19.99 [View in iTunes]
You can purchase the Griffin DJ Cable from algoriddim’s online store for $19.99 as well [Buy it Now]
ALSO note that there’s a slightly more advanced version of all this also made by algoriddim and Numark, that being the iDJ Live iPad 2 DJ station which, again, works with the same app as is reviewed here.

Hi Scott… I’d say first off consider taking the speakers, amp & interconnect cables back to Maplins for a refund if you can. The amps and speakers they sell are (and I’m being kind here) fairly awful.
If you really want to stick with the gear or getting a refund isn’t possible I’m sure I can help you get it working assuming nothing is broken. I’ll have a quick look at the specs of the kit you’ve bought and will post again in a bit.
If you can get a refund I should also be able to point you towards some better kit.

2 x Gold-Plated 1/4in Mono to Phono Adaptors
http://www.maplin.co.uk/1-4-6.35mm-plug … ptors-12802 x Mono Jack Leads
http://www.maplin.co.uk/mono-jack-lead-224841I have attached the Mono to Phono Adaptors to the High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect so that they will insert into the Input connections on the amp and the High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect is connected to the speaker connection of the Griffin cable.
The sound is only very faint coming out of the left speaker and nothing is coming out of the right speaker. If I pull the Amp input connector half way out the volume increases dramatically but the sound is still not perfect.
Something is not compatible somewhere I assume it’s the Mono to Phono Adaptors & the High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect.I have tested a direct connection via the Griffin cable to my portable Bose docking station and this appears to be fine.
Please can someone help me out.

First things first, you don’t need the pre-amp. That is designed for connecting the output vinyl record player to an amplifier. It contains a filter that will screw up the sound if you use it with a line level device like the iPad. If the guys at Maplin advised you buy it, I’m afraid they either don’t have a clue what they are talking about or didn’t understand what you were trying to do.
Garageband software for pc. With its in-built simple interface, you can share your sensational hits worldwide. It’s a total music studio right on your iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone, which comes with virtual session drummers, presets for voice, guitar and software instruments!
Secondly the ‘Mono Jack Leads’ you linked to are designed for input level signals, not speakers. Are you sure those are the ones you have? Maplins also sell speaker leads that look similar:
Hopefully those are the ones you have.
So, on to your set-up.
You should not have to pull your input connector part way out to make the amp work.
Try the following test.
Hook up the iPad directly to the amplifier using your mini jack to twin phono lead ( ‘High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect’) and the two phono to mono jack connectors. Connect the mini jack directly to the iPad’s headphone socket. Play something using the normal iPad music player (i.e. not the DJay app).
Does this give you proper sound out of both speakers? If not, it suggests the jack sockets on the amplifier are faulty.
My recommendation would be to look for some better quality pro audio kit, second hand if you are on a tight budget.
That will be difficult to source really quickly though.
If you need something for a gig this weekend I’d suggest hiring something. What do you need the kit for (what size of event – number of people, size of room etc).
If its just for home use, a set of active (powered) monitors might suit you well. The KRK Rokit series seem well liked by DJ’s. Quite a lot more money than the Maplins kit but your ears will thank you and should you change your mind you’d have no trouble selling them on.
Now if budget was really not an issue I’d suggest something like these

What connections are required for the iPad?

Passive Monitors/Speakers = amp requiredScotte, post: 10285 wrote: Ok thanks, if I were to buy the Rokit 8 or 10-3, do you need a pair of these or is one sufficent? does this mean you don’t need an amplifier?

You could just use one if you want, although most people go for a pair (if resale value is a concern, a pair would be easier to sell on than one).
Correct, no amplifier required.
The Rokit’s have an RCA (phono) input connector, so you should be able to use your mini jack to phono (High-Performance Twin Phono Interconnect) cable to hook things up. You might want a long one though, since it needs to reach from your iPad to wherever you put your speaker(s).
