We believe that the days of a D.J. simply banging out the same monotonous beat are now coming to an end. We are noticing customers preferring to book a chatty D.J., one who not only has a varied cross section of music available, but also (appears) to have an in depth knowledge of the music they are playing too. therefore, in contrast to other applications of this type, in addition to excellent sound quality and mixing capabilities, another major consideration in the Quake 2007 design is it's ability to store and retrieve vast amounts of text based information for the user to refer to. (Show Me)

Become a richer D.J. - trade in your commercial vehicle for a small hatch back; fire the roadies; you no longer need them !

A small table with your computer and a mixer is all that is needed. You can pull up music quickly, and mix it professionally; you can spend less time hunting down CDs and vinyl, and more time entertaining and being personable with your customers.

>> Easy To Use:
You won't need a degree in computer science to use Quake 2007. If you know how to type your name using the keyboard and how to use a mouse; Quake 2007`s vast array of wizards will help to do the rest. Although Quake 2007 is simple to use; don't make the mistake of thinking that it lacks power. The Quake 2007 design helps amateurs sound professional and professionals sound sensational.

>> Stability and Reliability at the heart of the design:
Quake 2007 is robust and dependable, a major design consideration being to "bomb proof" the application. Quake 2007 won’t crash every time you do or enter something unexpected.

>> Dual Streaming Track Play Decks And Information Displays:
Quake 2007’s streaming track play decks offer unrivalled control over track starts; in addition to manual deck start, at the click of a button, three other functions are provided to fully automate deck panning and fading on deck starts. As an aid to "D.J. patter"; sited above each deck are scrolling text displays; "Free text" of any practical length can be displayed for each track when loaded.
Quake 2007 has an intelligent track play and error prevention system. This helps to reduce the risk of continuity errors from occurring by intercepting potentially embarrassing decisions (sudden silence at the speakers for instance) with a "Continue or Cancel" dialog.

>> Dedicated Sound Bite / Jingles Play Deck:
Quake 2007‘s unique sound bite & jingle player allows the inclusion of pre-recorded sound bites into your program list; the player is equipped with Auto fade and fade speed functions operating over the two track play decks; providing maximum control over how the sound bite is played in a live performance. The player also allows definition of up to 5 instant play favourites buttons; and in common with the track play decks, P.F.L.(Head Phone) facilities and independent volume controls are provided.

>> Pop Quiz V1.1
Recognising the fact that a data base structure such as Quake 2007, could be the perfect source for a quiz like program, Pop Quiz V1 was born.
Pop Quiz V1 is a versatile Pop Quiz manager and draws on the Quake 2007 tracks database. Pop Quiz V1 "splices" randomly selected track snippets, Inserts a musical segment separator between each segment (Mixer) , plays the resulting file as a continuous "snippets chain", and finally displays a Suitable Question to ask the audience.

* Single or multiple snippets play.
* Textual only questions supported.
* Unlimited Elements.
* Full question and answer review and/or replay.

In common with other functions in Quake 2007, Pop Quiz V1's design is intuitive and logical, making it suitable for use by amateurs and professionals alike.

>> CD Ripping and Audio File import:
Manually adding 12,000 tracks to the database would be a daunting task if it were not for the CD ripping and file import utilities. Both utilities offer a high degree of automation; with the CD Ripper, whole CD’s can be ripped directly to individual Mp3 files; or tracks imported as a batch from, for instance, a downloaded file folder.

>> CD Burning
Worried about loosing your valuable Mp3 files ? well, worry no more. You can burn your favourite tracks to CD using the CD Burn utility. All you need to do to create a Compilation CD is select the tracks In Data Manager of interest, then click the Burn button.

>> Full Function Data manager:
After importing your music collection onto the database, you use the data manager to edit and process your tracks. You can easily define new genres, artists and albums, edit track names, and unique to Quake 2007, globally unify output volume levels of all tracks in the database; totally removing the need for constant volume adjustments.

>> Play List Manager:
A full function play-list manager allows saving and loading of your play-lists at a click of a button, each track in a play-list is loaded in the same play order as it was first saved; ensuring that you can re-create "the magic" of a good gig.

>> Requested Track List
Each time a customer requests a track, it is added to the requested track list, enabling an at a glance guide to the most popular tracks played to date.
Unique to Quake 2007, another kind of play-list called a group Play-List can be saved and loaded. This kind of play-list is designed for use with "Auto Play"; when a group play-list is saved, timing, fade type, speed and other information is saved along with the play-list. When auto played, playback sounds just like a taped recording of the live performance; the difference being that each segment of the play list can be fully edited to suit.

>> Genre, Artist and Album Profiling
Quake 2007 allows you to create and edit individual text based profiles/definitions for each and every Genre, Artist or Album on the data base. Displaying the information is as simple as selecting the item your interested in, and clicking on the Information balloon below the selection list in question.

>> Info Centre
The Info Centre is an index driven internal text file editor where you can store just about any information you may like to refer to later. creating a new text file using the editor is as simple as (a) Create a Category (b) Create A Topic (c) Create A Title and (d) Start Typing. We find it handy for storing lengthy or difficult to remember jokes, quips, trivia and the such like.

>> Automatic Play with 3 modes:
In addition to manual play control , Quake 2007 Provides 3 distinctly different auto play options.

- Quake (default) - this mode seamlessly mixes each track in the play queue.
- Juke Box - In this mode, Quake 2007 operates like a Standard Juke box.
- Preview - Preview mode scans the entire tracks database and plays a snippet of each track; this mode can be handy for "wetting the appetite" of your customers.
- Play-list Scheduling - Quake 2007 allows you to set a timer to begin Automatic play completely unattended. If you are a broadcaster, you won't even have to be in the studio to start the show !

>> Headphone Support (Pre Fade Listening)
Quake 2007 allows you to use an extra sound card for Cue, or Previewing, a sound file. You can use this feature to assist with beat mixing (fading two songs together on-beat), or for simply previewing a song before playing it live. Many DJs use their P.c. built-in sound for previewing (since the quality of the internal sound chip is often lacking), and a secondary audio device for their main mix. This configuration allows you the flexibility you are used to with dual CD decks and an external mixer; just like a real mixer, the P.F.L. monitor function routes its output to the headphone output (e.g., to your Secondary Sound Card).

>> Recording Rights and Royalties Compliant:
For Recording Rights considerations, Quake 2007 can automatically keep a printable time and date stamped log of all tracks played for each day.
