Transport And DJ Mixer Controls

DEX 3 makes it easy to mix everything. The DEX 3 user interface and transport controls work much likeCD 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, beat-grid editing, automatic key mixing, 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.

Real-Time Stems with AIUnmixEQ™

Using our exclusive AIUnmixEQ™ feature, DEX 3 can isolate individual parts of a song using machine learning, a flavor of AI. The industry refers to it as stem separation, or as we like to call it, real-time “unmixing”. The feature works with any standard audio, video, or karaoke tracks, including supported streaming services such as TIDALorBeatsource LINK. Enable the feature in DEX 3’s options and use the EQ knobs and kill pads to smoothly separate songs into three isolated stems: Vocal, Instruments, Drums/Percussion.

DEX 3 DJ and Video Mixing Software for Pro DJs | PCDJ (17)

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 automaticallyso 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 makes it easy to find the song/s you’re looking for. 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.

100+ Compatible DJ Controllers

DJ Controllers provide hands-on tactile control over DEX 3, allowing for more creativity while mixing. Over 100 DJ controllers from popular DJ equipment manufacturers are supported, which means zero-configuration 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 3will react immediately, without latency.
