DSS DJ vs. DJ equipment
DSS DJ has the most important features of all DJ hardware that your money can buy. But, do not forget the top quality features that no hardware can give you (eg. precise, automatic BPM counter for ALL genres, automatic one-click BEAT MATCHING and synchronization, beat-aware loop engine with snap to beat, etc).
Here below, you can see the hardware equipments (the cheaper ones) a DJ must have to start, compared with DSS DJ.

NOTE: The prices listed above are for intro DJ hardware equipment (with only a few features and the lowest quality).
Both options require from your part to buy also a microphone, a pear of good DJ headphones, an amplifier and a pear of loudspeakers.
Also you can combine this 2 options. For example: buy the software, a mixer and a turntable and use them together.
You can see now the cost and the features differences. You know what are you looking for and what is your budget. Why spend more money if you have a better solution that you can profit.
Another fact is that if you are a beginner then you have a long and difficult learning period in front of you. Why long and difficult? Because you have to work (and I mean hard work) on your DJ skills, from which the most important is feeling the beat, the rhythm and using it to claim your crowd. This skill is very hard to achieve (a couple of years of practice) if you use hardware equipment.
In other words the most accurate bpm detection is the key for success. The hardware can't detect a very precise bpm in order to help you. Most of them use a tapping method which is primitive and not good at all.
To help you, DSS DJ has: a precise, automatic bpm counter, waveform display (to see better where the beat is), automatic one-click beat matching and synchronization and beat-aware loop engine. With this features only, you can do in no time the best mixes of your life because the beat-match is done automatically, letting you more time to use effects, cut-off filters or other stuff.
Imagine playing a different song in each deck with cross-fader at middle, both song beat matched and synchronized with one click while you are scratching on loop one of decks. Amazing, isn't it? The best part is that you can do this in a minute.
Other advantage is that you don't have to bring your bag with records. You just copy the music you need once into your hard drive and it's easy to find for immediate play.
DSS DJ vs. other DJ software
Don't be influenced by what other companies say about their software. The only way to see if that software does exactly what they say, is to test the product. After this you will know if that software is what are you looking for, and if it worths the money.
Many programs claim that they are the perfect tool for a DJ but in essence they have a pitch and a crossfader, and the vital DJ functions can't be done in real time (like bpm detection, beat synchronization, loop).
Compare DSS DJ features and our price with other DJ software. Test them, to be sure they do exactly what they say and in real time.
I can't give you a list of prices for other DJ software but I assure you that DSS DJ beats them all for the features and the price.
