The Aevornix option
Aevornix AudioDJ records from any input, edits non destructively with six fade shapes, plays eight banks of sixteen sampler pads, recalls scenes, builds live set running orders and measures loudness to ITU-R BS.1770. Nothing it does opens a network connection.
Limitations
AudioDJ is an open beta on Windows only. Decks, beat grids, tempo and key detection and controller mapping are not built, and a pad or scene performance is not captured in an export.
