PVDJs DAI Digital Audio Interface - A Realtime Digital Audio Remixer

PVDJ is a division of Peavey and the Digital Audio Interface (DAI) is the first hardware and software package to allow DJs to remix in realtime. Just connect the DAI to your computer and start mixing your audio files with ease. This exclusive, forward-thinking audio interface is a landmark achievement in digital audio technology. The DAI is ideal for live DJs but can also be a very creative tool for home-studio remix DJs who can remix in the digital realm and output directly to recording software. The DAI will play and mix MP3s, WAVs, CDAs and other audio files. It includes all the controls needed for realtime remixing including jog wheels on either side of the controller that can be used to create scratching-type effects. In addition, the DAI will automatically find the nearest beat when setting a cue point or mixing tracks.

Get In Touch With Your Digital Side

The user-friendly intuitive DAI controller is separated into two players with a touch-sensitive screen between them that shows the current track playlist with track progress bar and BPM counter. Tracks can be sorted by artist, title or BPM (ascending and descending order). The on-screen keyboard allows quick song retrieval by automatically narrowing the search field as you type. Built-in Grab technology allows one-button-push looping, with adjustments for moving the loop backward and forward one beat at a time. The user can also lengthen or shorten loops on-the-fly, allowing for true realtime remixing. The Grab function always exits the loop at the end of the measure unless the user tells it otherwise.

Automated Control

The DAI also includes an “auto pilot” feature with fully automated mixing and tempo matching. This acts as a helping feature and eliminates dead air between songs in live DJ sets. Auto pilot detects the end of the currently playing track and mixes in the next song automatically, aligning the beats and matching the tempos. Auto Pilot only kicks in during the last 15 seconds of a track and can be left on as a safeguard without interfering with the unit's other controls.

No Additional Drivers Required

The DAI controller works in tandem with its companion PVDJ software package, which is built around a 56-bit audio engine. The software requires no additional drivers--it runs using existing Windows or Mac OSX drivers. The DAI is a true "plug & play" interface; if either the USB or power cord is unplugged, the DAI will pick up exactly where it left off once the cord is replaced without rebooting. The auto pilot function will even mix for you if you need to take a break and adjust the tempos to match. And it can sync the beats together for a perfect mix.

Start Mixing Today

Digital DJing is now truly possible and practical. No longer do you need a mouse or a keyboard. Just connect the PVDJ DAI to your laptop and all of the controls are right in front of you, laid out just where you would expect them. Features like Grab (one button push looping) and on-the-fly cueing allow you to remix a song in realtime with seamless loops that are automatically sync’d to the beat. When using CDs the DAI even connects to a CD data base via internet and displays the song names.
