Tilting Turntables

 So you already know that I dream about being a DJ. Don't get it confused with people like Skrillex. I want to be that dude in the club behind a set of turn-tables and those huge, rediculous looking head phones on playing and remixing songs. That takes a lot of time, money, and knowledge to do. You have to know you're way around the turn-table, practice remixing songs, make a playlist, then after all that find somewhere that wants to hire you. That's a lot of work to make a little bit of money, and you probably don't even get free drinks! There are DJ programs that you can download to a laptop, but most of them are over a hundred bucks, and who wants to waste that much money on something like that.

 I recently found an app that lets you mix and mash up songs just by tilting you're smart phone. Its called Crossfader. It lets you play two songs at once, or fade in and out of the two. The only downside is you cant upload your own songs to remix, you have to use the ones provided. They have plenty of choices though like Lil Wayne, Biggie Smalls, Usher, Bassnecter, Daft Punk, and a lot more. You can also post your mash ups to there site right after you've created them and people can like and play them.

 All in all this app makes it so everyone can be their own little DJ right from there phone, and if you're not into all that its still pretty fun to play with.

Here's my Crossfader page.
And you can download the app in the App Store, just search Crossfader.
