New apps are available everyday, and as more come out they become more and more creative in what they offer the average smart phone or tablet user. Today we are looking at just one creative app made by Crayola, Crayola DJ.
Crayola DJ is a fun new app where kids (suggested for kids aged 6 and up) learn about music production and music mixing in a fun, colorful, friendly way. The app is easy to use and is fun for everyone, including adults, to become “celebrity” DJ’s. In the app there are almost 100 exclusive tracks by professional DJs. These tracks are from various genres like Holiday, Hip Hop, Dance, and Pop, which sound great and are easy to mix together to make head bopping, toe tapping beats.
Learning how to mix the various elements of the song is interesting, and its even more fun once you have an understanding of them as well and can mix with some background. It is great fun taking and mashing up different genres and coming up with something interesting. Why not mix dance and holiday tunes? Each song can also be saved to be played again and again as many times as you like.
Once your track is complete, its time to perform. In performance mode, there are strobe lights, effects, and a whole lot more fun as the user can get creative with their track and even score points as well.
DJ battle is a two player competitive mode where each player tries to out scratch and mix the other, this mode is quite fun although takes a bit to learn.
The new Crayola® DJ app is available now for $4.99 on Google Play for Android phones and tablets. In June, it will also be sold in the iTunes Store for iOS devices, for the same price.
hey,thank you for the post,that app sounds amazing
My boys recently tried this out and loved it! It was pretty neat.
Looks like a cool app. I think the movie Pitch Perfect has made music mixing a “thing” that is out there and I’ve known so many kids that have had talent doing this. Thanks for sharing the info!
Wow, this is a great new app! I had no idea! I will have to try it out for my musical son!
This looks like a blast! Games like this are great to help give minds a workout.
This looks so fun! I love that there are also lights to go along with it!
