Algoriddim has introduced djay Pro AI, an upgrade to its popular DJing app for iOS, which is powered by Neural Mix technology. The tech allows DJs to separate a track’s vocals, drums, and harmonics in real time.

The ability to isolate these elements of a track expands the possibilities for creating live remixes, without needing pre-existing acapella or instrumental versions.
