Paul van Dyk’s PVD iPhone DJ app

Spotted another iPhone DJ application recently – this time by trance DJ Paul van Dyk.

More of a DJ tool kit with a number of discrete applications than a standard single iPhone app this one will check frequency sound levels, vibration on your turntables (seismic reader), has a noise level/distortion meter, a BPM calculator, plus has a few fun things (digital glowstick anyone?) thrown in.

Check out the video here:

‘DJ Hero’ game controller first look

DJ Hero is something that has had a lot of murmurs about for a while. It will feature “diverse music genres including hip-hop, R&B, Motown, electronica and dance” and will include the turntable controller – image posted below.

 

The title “transforms players into DJs who rule the club scene by creating original mixes of popular songs and music from the world’s most exciting artists and DJs.” Will we see superstar DJ branded editions/updates coming out in a similar vein to Guitar Hero as well? Paul Oakenfold trance edition? Grandmaster Flash scratch edition?

Cheap plastic toy or hours of fun for the aspiring bedroom banger in us all? Time will tell…

Keep checking their website for release dates: http://www.djhero.com

Stream you home music collection to any web based PC

WOW!

I just had to write about this one after spotting a link that describes a new streaming media capability of Windows 7 (Microsoft’s latest operating system) slated for release in the very near future (May 5th?).

For those of you out there that have a great home music collection and would love to access it on the move Vs storing multiple instances of your collection on home/work pc, work laptop and portable mp3 player Microsoft Windows 7 looks like it provides the answer. Aside from the vastly reduced storage implications having one master set of music that is now accessible anywhere on the web with no doubling up/extra copies- result!

Going over to a mate’s place who hasn’t got a decent music collection? Want to show off that latest track you have created to an A&R man in his office? Want to provide the ultimate Barry White soundtrack to that special meal over at a date’s place? Need that perfect track to match that perfect sunset?

Windows 7 looks like it has the answer with the new Media Player streaming feature that allows you to stream your collection to any internet based device. It uses your Windows Live ID (eg your @hotmail email address) and requires you to sign in with that to establish the connection.

I’ve just installed Windows 7 so will post some screen shots shortly.
