Macworld 2007 party roundup for Wednesday, January 10th

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Jan 10th, 2007

Macworld certainly isn't all work and no play, so I thought it would be handy to round up any parties and gatherings that are happening *off* the Macworld Expo grounds. For simplicity, I checked Upcoming's Macworld tag, though we have heard of at least one other non-listed event (and I would bet there are plenty more). If you have a gathering going on this week, let us know at tuaw.com/tips (use relevant subjects like: "Party at Macworld Wednesday!" and "Party at Macworld Thursday!" etc.) and we'll include them in our daily roundups, updating as we receive new tips through the day. For now, here is a list of Wednesday's gatherings:

djay - a "groundbreaking" audio application

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Aug 20th, 2006


djay, as you can see, is a "groundbreaking" new audio app that offers a slew DJ-oriented features to get your party started, including:
  • Real-time audio mix transmission over Bonjour network
  • Real-time audio mix recording
  • iTunes Integration
  • Automatic artwork image loading on both turntables
  • Time-Stretching
  • Pitch-Shifting with amazing blend effect
  • Audio Unit Effects Support
  • Pre-Cueing (requires multichannel sound card)
  • Crossfade automation
  • Magnetic tempo slider for precise beat matching
  • GarageBand instruments integration via network
  • AppleScriptability for mixing automation
and a whole lot more. Seriously, I had to whittle out quite a bit from djay's feature list just to fit these key points into the post. I'm not a DJ myself, but checking this out sure makes me wish I was.

All these features come in (what looks like) a slick package for the low, low price of $0; in fact, I can't even find a donation link at the product's site, algoriddim.net (clever). If any more DJ-capable TUAW readers check this out, please share a few words of your wisdom with the rest of the class.

Chili Pepper listening parties to be held at Apple Stores

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Apr 26th, 2006

It's great to see that when the Peppers (finally) decide to commit to something, they really dive in: iLounge is reporting that on May 2nd at 6:30 pm local time, Apple Stores in the U.S., Canada and UK will hold listening parties for the band's new album, Stadium Arcadium, set to land on May 9th. The stores will play all 28 songs from the new album and will be giving away a limited number of iTunes cards so fans can download the new single, "Dani California" (iTMS link). Let's also not forget that pre-ordering the new album enters you into a contest for a logo-engraved, 60 GB Chili Peppers iPod, and gives you access to a Ticketmaster pre-sale for the band's North American tour.
