Real time mixing app for music lovers
I'm not a professional DJ at all – not even an amateur one – but I can still appreciate a good DJing tool when it comes to my hands.
Ots Turntables Free is a basic yet fully featured DJ application with which you can have your very own DJ sessions at home.
Feeling creative? Mix your two favorite songs and create a unique blending with the software mixing capabilities. Throwing a party? Spice it up with your most lively songs, mixed together in a continuous loop.
The good thing about Ots Turntables Free is that it's loads of fun, even for those o us who have almost no experience in mixing music. The program's intuitive interface, designed just like a real double turntable, makes it very easy to use: you can adjust the volume, speed and tempo of each sound source, and even make some scratching effects by dragging the turntable with your mouse.
Plus, the program features a couple of samples to get you started but you can easily add your own MP3 files.
On the downside, however, this free version of Ots Turntables has been slightly crippled to keep some of the extra tools for the Pro version.
While I understand this decision, I find that some limitations, such as not being able to record your mixes, are a bit too restrictive.

Ots Turntables FREE.
Very nice program. It works with one playlist instead of a playlist per deck, which is far more intuitive in my opinion. I can't really make useful effects with the scratch function, but maybe that comes with experience.
/>The built-in dynamics processor is great, even though the free version will only do presets.
The 'tempo' function changes the tempo of a song without affecting the pitch, which is absolutely great.
Auto fadeover is also great, better than most other DJ programs.
Pros:
- one playlist
- dynamics processor
- tempo function
- great auto fadeover, determines good start point for next track automatically at end of previous track.
- simple and intuitive to use
Cons:
- no BPM counters?
- 'OTS audio' commercial audible randomly between 2 tracks
- many functions only available in paid versions, free version only fit for simple jobs. More
