Beatomat Decks
Take the decks:
a free online DJ mixer.
Two decks and a mixer in your browser, over a crate of 9,000+ records. Every record shows its tempo and key, so you can see what will blend before you try it.
First time? A guided first mix walks you through it in five short steps and ends in a real mix.
Music included: about 16,000 records, 6,800 of them by independent artists on Audius and 9,000 that everybody knows, played from YouTube. Spotify and your own files can’t be loaded yet.
Everything on the decks, in one sentence each
Fits at a glance
Records whose tempo and key fit what's playing are marked, so the next good pick is visible before you press anything.
Three-band EQ
Bass, mids and highs on separate knobs, so two records can share the room without the bass lines fighting.
Hot cues
Mark the moments you care about, a drop or a vocal, and jump straight to them with one pad.
Loops
Repeat 1 to 16 bars, or set your own in and out points, to stretch a moment while you line up the next record.
Effects
Eight of them: filter, echo, brake, speed, roll, slicer, crush and reverse, all working on the record itself. Filter and Echo are free; the other six come with Unlimited.
A crate of 9,000+
Search by track or artist, browse by genre, or dig through everything one artist has in the crate.
Hand the decks to the AI DJ, any time
Need a break? Switch to the AI DJ mid-set and it carries on from the record you left playing. Switch back and the decks are yours again. One player, two ways to run it.
Questions about the decks
Is mixing free?
Yes. The music keeps playing as long as you like, and on Free Beatomat mixes like a DJ for your first 30 minutes a day, with two effects, Filter and Echo. After that, records change with a short fade instead of a long DJ blend until tomorrow. Unlimited keeps the long DJ blends going all day and opens every effect, and until 20 December it is free for 6 months for the first 200 founding members: the seat is instant.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. On a phone the decks stack, one above the other with the mixer between them; a laptop shows everything side by side.
I've never DJ'd. Where do I start?
Open the decks: the first time, a guided first mix walks you through it in five short steps, from starting a record to sliding the crossfader, and ends in a real mix. Or start with the AI DJ and watch the decks while it plays: the countdown, the line that says why, and the Coming up list show what a DJ is doing at each seam.
Can I play my own music, or Spotify?
Not yet. Music included: about 16,000 records, 6,800 of them by independent artists on Audius and 9,000 that everybody knows, played from YouTube. Spotify and your own files can’t be loaded yet.
Can I record my mix?
No. A set can be kept on your profile and played again, exactly as it was mixed.
