Transport And DJ Mixer Controls
DEX 3 makes it easy to mix everything. The DEX 3 user interface and transport controls work much like CD Decks and include advanced mixer controls much like you find on high-end physical DJ mixers.
Use a traditional 2-Deck interface (skin) with or without video mixing controls, or layer in your mix with one of the included 4-Deck DEX 3 skins (or Download A DEX 3 Skin). BPM grid-based beat-sync, smart looping, key-lock, hot-cue points, filters, and effects all work flawlessly whether you’re mixing only music or performing a music video mix for your audience.
Advanced Media File Browser With Search, Playlists And Automix
DEX 3 includes an advanced media file browser for all your music, music videos, and karaoke files. iTunes playlists are also imported automatically so you can start mixing immediately.
The included library filters allow you to view only the file type you want to work with, and the fast search feature displays results as you type. Create custom playlists or generate lists from directories on your hard drive. The ‘History’ list can be filtered by date so you can go back and re-use a previous mix set. Album art and color-coding make it easy to find the song/s you’re looking for. The new “List Mode” allows for a more traditional column-style layout. Playlist playback automation is built right in; engage Automix or Shuffle Play if you need a break.
90+ Compatible Dj Controllers
DJ Controllers provide hands-on tactile control over DEX 3, allowing for more creativity while mixing. Over 90DJ controllers from popular DJ equipment manufacturers are natively supported, which means zero configuration is required so you can get into the mix right away. Use multiple DJ controllers at once — DEX 3 will even detect when a controller is connected in real-time. Your DJ controller isn’t included in our supported list? Use LEARN to map it easily yourself.
When you press a button, twist a knob or scratch a platter on your DJ controller DEX 3 will react immediately, without latency.
Karaoke Rotation List and Singer/Song History
So they wanna sing some karaoke? No problem, DEX 3 has you covered there, too. The karaoke singer rotation list will manage the singer rotation for you — whether you have 3 or 40+ singers in rotation on your karaoke night. Use the “Load Singer” button to quickly load and play songs from the rotation list.
For each singer you have DEX 3 will automatically create a singer/song history for them so you can easily search a singer and add them, and the song they want to sing, back to the rotation.
Use the “filler music player” to easily play regular music in between singers and sets.
Built-In Effects And Sample Player
The included audio “effects grid” in DEX 3 will further enhance your sets by providing the ability to apply Echo, Delay, Reverb, Phaser, Flanger, and Auto pan – either one at a time or layered in to create brand new sounds. The effect controls DJs have come to expect are present, including wet/dry, BPM sync, and varied parameters per effect.
The effects section can be swapped out with the press of a button for a Sample Player, which allows you to load up 8 sound clips of your choice that can be triggered and played over-top the mix. Choose to BPM sync your samples to the master player for seamlessly drops.
Record Your Audio And Video Mix
Capture your audio and video mixes with DEX 3 using the built-in recording features.
Want to record a video mix session in full HD to share with a prospective client? DEX 3 will capture a video mix in stunning 1920×1080 HD with zero loss in quality so you can present your finished mix exactly the way you intended. The latest DEX 3 version includes built-in support for Icecast (streaming media server) so you can stream your audio mixes live via the internet to all your fans.
Display Text, Image, And Video Overlays On Screen
Create and display stunning multi-layered on-screen text, image, and video overlays with DEX 3.
Use the new overlay feature to show messages, images, and videos (which loop automatically) on-screen to your fans and clients. Display congrats drink specials, your DJ logo, and whatever else you desire with a few clicks. You can save as many multi-layered custom overlays as you wish to cue up and display live.
Adjust position, size, and opacity of all elements to create the perfect visual presentation for your audience. In the case of text overlays, both font and color can be altered.
