FutureDecks DJ Pro is a program that features all the characteristics that a DJ would need: With it, users can mix songs, get samples, change the speed, volume and/or pitch of sounds, and create new and original music pieces. Also, you can add videos or animations to your mixes.
The program is not very easy to use. It has no menus or a Help file. To get an idea on how to use it, you need to go to the Videos/Tutorials section on the developer's webpage. If you try to figure out how to use it, you may spend the 20-minute evaluation time of the demo version (yes, you can only use the demo version for 20 minutes, which is not enough to fully test all the program's features).
Another disadvantage is that you need a system with a big screen to fully visualize the interface of the program. Thus, it can be difficult to use it with a tablet, a notebook or a laptop with a small screen. Due to this, the program is not very portable.
You may add different skins to the program's interface by downloading them from the developer's website.
