Design Features:  

OtsAV DJ places track listing at its emphasis, which is a welcome change. However, some users may feel that the dual-deck interface design is neglected, the buttons being undersized and complex.

OtsAV DJ offers live scratching and a scratch sampler, allowing users to manipulate and embellish tracks with a virtual turntable. Vinyl effects can also be recorded and compressed for easy exchange amongst DJ peers.

OtsAV DJ supports ASIO drivers, going beyond the “no delay” claims of most DJ Software Programs and actually delivering.

Input/Output:  

OtsAV DJ imports virtually all audio file formats, including MP3, WAV, ID3 and others, and comes fully equipped with a special studio to restore and improve track sound quality.

OtsAV DJ offers Save as Wave functionality, enabling users to publish sets to CD and Mpeg, or to broadcast directly online through the community.

Performance:  

OtsAV DJ performs very well, delivering on its “no delay” promises. Users who become comfortable with the somewhat difficult controls and tools, are unlikely to be disappointed.

Help/Support:  

OtsAV DJ provides help and support documentation and tutorials, while also hosting a FAQs page and community forum. Additional assistance can be found by email.

OtsAV DJ makes a very strong argument for itself. With excellent audio quality restoring applications, an emphasis on track listing and remote capabilities, there is much to be said about OtsAV DJ. However, the unfriendly interface design can hinder use and keep hidden the program’s potential.
