Algoriddim djay For Meta Quest: Welcome To The FUTURE | Beatsource Tech

[@djsrone]

Algoriddim should add real club environments as visuals. It would be cool to visualize playing at the best venues around the world.

[@Mojaxx]

That was a discussion we had, they're into the idea for sure.

[@djflipside33]

This will be dope when you can invite other people wearing quests to your own show, and they can watch you dj in VR.

[@masterbond9]

they dont need to. theres almost always someone DJing in vrchat. in fact, i think theres a 3, or even 4 day event going on right now a couple of my friends are DJing for, but of course, the more popular ones are on the weekends, one of them only being once a month. some have recreated some renowned clubs, others have created their own designs from scratch, many of which, are only really possible in a virtual environment, though the quest just isnt powerful enough and the vrchat devs arent smart enough to get everything working on quest standalone, but the vast majority of things are usable on quest

[@mrdrgonzo]

@@masterbond9how do you access these chats? I’ve a quest 3 though

[@masterbond9]

@mrdrgonzo it's a game called VRChat. Just look it up, you'll find so many things to see and do.

[@GODInTheWax444]

@@masterbond9 yeah but that's VR chat. Algoriddim should do their own thing. Competition and options are always good. I like how this system they've created works and it would be great to be able to do real shows. Hell even make it where you could charge for a show. That would be sick!

[@masterbond9]

@GODInTheWax444 yea, it would be nice to have competition, especially since VRChat dominates the space, but the 2 that can be considered competition are either severely understaffed or too complicated to pick up and is still super unoptimized. The others just don't have the freedom that these 3 have...

[@logisticalstyles]

I just pulled out my Quest 2 over the weekend and this gives me a reason to use it again.

[@paranoidparanoid6090]

You can use it to play Metro awakening or into black, blade and sorcercy just got the big V1 update on quest ...so much happened in your absence (go catch up 😂)

[@xxx-xf7ks]

no virtual beer near the decks!

[@LarryZinc]

lollllll

[@kaybecker]

The first time I tried XR I was blown away and knew right away it has game-changing potential. But this? EXACTLY what we needed. I said 2024 is the year people start taking VR seriously and it sure seems to be the case so far. I will give it a try with my S4 Mk3 tonight, exciting times!

[@djmacatack]

Imagine being able to see your twitch chat's avatars in front of you. Then maybe have their chat text or emotes appear over them as a way to read chat! It would create a massive (in DJ terms) market for customized stages from popular streamers.

[@Mojaxx]

I did Algoriddim that close integration with Twitch could be huge with this.

[@MarkAnslow]

Us old ones will cuss this. DJing to me is 2 turntables and vinyl but like it or not life moves on. I remember life pre mobile phones but times have changed. Thanks mojaxx for demoing this. I'm sure in the future this will develop. Enjoying music in any form is all good. 👍

[@LarryZinc]

To people who complained, you probably never had anywhere outside of DJing. Let people enjoy their moments. This is definitely the future!

[@danceb4nine]

The midi mode is insane to me. I love it lol

[@tombyrnerocks]

This is bags of fun! and yet another top notch review from the man himself. Love it!

[@dxcheong]

The MIDI mode is definitely interesting.

[@benji.B-side]

It's definitely an internet streaming thing or for the bedroom DJ, rather than using in a real life environment to a live crowd. But as you say, in 5 years time or so, where it could lead?

[@BogomilPetrov]

You underestimate the sheer giant number of people spending a lot of time in Social VR. So many people already have giant shows in VRChat and concerts in Horizon etc. The main part before we get to AR Glasses would be you being a Virtual Avatar DJing in a Virtual world in front of virtual people. Over time might be an interesting concept as well to put your avatar via a transparent screen in an IRL club

[@JohannesNielsen]

Take into consideration that Marshmallow DJ'd in Fortnight to 40,000 people. That's 40,000 in ticket sales.

[@AJ808UK]

I actually was thinking, Mojaxx does indeed look more dapper than usual! Everytime I see dude on these videos, he looks great! You lost mad weight bro!

[@James.KingHTX]

The only way I would want to use this is if they installed actual clubs from around the world where we could experience DJing in those environments. I don’t think anyone ever wanted to DJ in a volcano or Space lol.

[@JohannesNielsen]

That will happen due to the cost effectiveness. Add in the ambient noise reduction and the increased revenue streams for DJ's

[@chemonmusic]

This i imagine will initiate the DJ inquisition but just remember DJing is about having fun

[@bboymac84]

I need those stems. I’d try it when it gets to the glasses phase. But it’s smart because now your getting new younger clients intro DJing. Very smart!

[@djriddem]

Soon I will be uploading myself completely into the virtual world. All I will need from that point on is a head and a pair of iGoggles.

[@radioraccoon5922]

If Mojaxx finds this cool wait till ya see the club culture in VRChat, lots of talent and lots of ppl using a mix of actual industry gear and some VR elements. The future is now!

[@proximaone1350]

Interesting video, I have the quest 3 and find the hand control UI so so, just wondering how this would work. I will give it a go.

[@fouskalini]

I can see the potential. The UI needs a minimal (re)design in midi mode.

[@waynereid]

My favourite line from Mo’ 7:47 “…this is silly”😂😂😂. Big-Up yourself Mo’ for giving this a whirl. This is definitely for the casual newbie.

[@funkyruben4131]

I think this tech would be best used for VR clubs.

[@RyanNoise]

Strange that it would not include the VJ / Video dj feature? That would make a lot of sense. Not having to have a laptop to mix video.

[@mititeimaricei]

DJ'n VERTIGO. I'm heading straight to the mental Doc.

[@DJ.Kvn_]

So Serato face is algorithm IN YO FACE now?

[@Mojaxx]

RIGHT IN YO BRAIN 😂

[@DJ.Kvn_]

@Mojaxx 🤣🤣🤣

[@lukeannett]

Exactly.

[@sambagogo777]

Looks to be great fun! If they add my DJ controller to the list of supported controllers then I may be tempted.

[@mattmatiks]

This has many possibilities in the future. Could be fun for live streams in a future iteration.

[@vvvictoriav5958]

i'm not gonna lie, i've been a bit of a naysayer on VR etc... but this does look bloody good fun doesnt it!

[@cosmicbaggy9637]

Like it or not, this is the future. Pretty mental.

[@Thatfunkytrumpet]

Those cv look dope.

[@GCSTRADE09]

Im excited for this. Is there a PC steam verison? Whats the best DJ controller in your opinion to get? for shows and DJing in programs like vrchat? Im eyeing the headset with DDJ-REV5

[@zerosolidus]

I see you can connect to Tidal, instant win for me!

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

if this is the future of djing I'm sticking to the past

[@slaterbreaker]

Username checks out

[@TheWalkingSoul]

I’ve seen this recently and tempted to get it if and only if it’s possible to add my own visual environments from say Cyberpunk, for me DJing on social media is getting very boring to watch,so being able to add visual elements without spending loads on a video production would be top, good video thanks 😎

[@cashvault1996]

Well, this I think will be better than Tribe VR. Because there are no actual equipment to touch and make the feel of the controls easier in Tribe, but at least this new software can sync the algorithm with your equipment. I'll have to try and see if this works with my DDJ-1000 Pioneer DJ controller.

[@st33ldi9ital]

While amazing, this would make way more sense as plugin or interface within already existing online virtual platforms rather than it's own platform... vr chat, roblox, fortnite creative/unreal engine, etc.

[@Zelousfear]

The problem with the live streaming app from the Camera app is the the headphone cueing gets broadcast as well.

[@thisguyrools2807]

Only thing I think would make this better is gloves with hectic feedback so it feels like you’re touching actual buttons and knobs.

[@DJKOOLBREEZE]

Djay on the iphone is good enough. Full featured

[@coolo73]

I wonder if there's any camera stability for the VR view. Watching this started to give me motion sickness. It's like wearing a GoPro with a headset mount.

[@Mojaxx]

One of the issues with showing this to people is that what you’re seeing doesn’t really represent the experience of using it. The view from inside the headset is nothing like as shaky as the videos look. There is a way to stabilise the recordings in there, but that reduces the field-of-view further, and that’s already far more restricted than what I was seeing, even in square video mode. As for motion sickness… I played the Batman game that comes with the Quest at the moment, where your character walks around, and it turns out I am VERY MUCH the ‘VR motion sickness’ guy. Felt sick as a dog. But in djay, no issues, even after extended sessions.

[@theblowupdollsmusic]

I think I totally missed opportunity here is having a full crowd simulator.

[@gamingheadztvMediaHeadztv]

if this some how pluged into vrchat I would be happy

[@Drrolfski]

Besides streaming, quasi gaming or educating in DJing, I have a hard time seeing any game changing potential tbh. Even without all the limitations it seems gimmicky at best. Like the time that everybody needed 3D on their television, only to realize that it wasn't really worth all the hassle and inconveniences. Minority Report -style DJing isn't any more convenient and looks cool for 5 min before the crowd goes on their own business on the dancefloor. But maybe I have overlooked some scenarios where this could genuinely be changing the game of DJing. Still, in the future, people will still be going to public places to dance, to socialize, and hear an artist play music, like they have for centuries. Wearing some 3D gear won't fundamentally change that.

[@txbased1752]

"Minority Report - style DJing" is crazy lmaoo. I think your pre-judgement of this app is a Minority Report - style of opinion you have there buddy🫢

[@ArchiRobbie]

What sort of cable did you use? My controller has a USB B port, so i tried using a USB A to C converter and 2 wires and my Quest 3 won't recognize anything plugged into it.

[@jasondaly5351]

I honestly never seem anything like this has me head messed up a bit lol

[@22éruimmasébom]

[@BogomilPetrov]

He did a demo in the video. He took the USB C cable from the hardware and just plugged it in to the Quest.

[@Mojaxx]

@@BogomilPetrovYeah, that’s about the extent of it! All supported controllers are simply plug-and-play.

Frankly…as a die hard djay pro user my first reaction is just disappointment. I excpected the Big Gamechanger to be something completly different for professional use (something like a very own integrated daw). After one Night of sleep I‘m thinking this could be the start of something where we can’t eben Imagine the future possibilities right now. Similar to when the iPad was introduced and people where like „ok, I get the iPhone concept but what do I need this thing for exactly“. It could grow with further development. Right now it’s not something I would use.

[@marct.1776]

Did you ever try it on Vision Pro, how does it compare to? For me it looks like on Vision Pro it is just so much better.

[@ethanblake4]

Vision pro doesn't support connecting real DJ hardware because it doesn't have a usb port, so the Quest is much better

I think the way he means it's a game changer is in the future....... This is iteration 1..... It's when we get to the point when computing time has accelerated in 5 years... This will be the point at which it was changed. Children these days are growing up in a time when it is normal to have a proper conversation with a computer.

[@logisticalstyles]

So, is this an app we have to buy in the Meta app store on the Quest headset?

[@Mojaxx]

That’s correct, yes. One time purchase though, no subscription.

[@djnoteazy]

imagine everyone left the club but you still in the matrix thinking the party is going on... :D crazy tech to try but i still prefer the reality

[@NueNueKiro]

On paper it really looks amazing, but my real concern is the physicality: when using it as a game there is none so for me it's a no go, the same reason i hate the idea of touch screen mixing when using it with a controller yes you gain the physicality, but at that moment what's the point? just some fancy backgrounds? One scenario that will sell me is as you said with normal looking glasses, for browsing purposes, so I'm minimizing even further the time spent while browsing for files and I can see what's loaded and what not, but since the functionality is gimped by not ordering tracks by your criteria also makes me stay away for the time being. It's an interesting tech demo but tbf I don't really see the added value unless you are streaming on twitch or want to have your kids play next gen of DJ Hero

[@timothydobesh3241]

I have a quest 3, and i am a quest dummy lol, how do you use it with hands and no controllers?

[@DuBTV2018]

You can turn on handtracking in your quest settings. Throw the controller away and your hands will be tracked

[@daveworzel]

It was only going to be a matter of time.

[@djxcel23]

Ah man

[@ashleystyles6888]

Any long term safety data? Think I'll pass

[@thedjnamedves]

This works when others are wearing VR as well. Essentially having the Twitch feeling but actually seeing others and the DJ. Just like you said. But I disagree this is as big as the move to DVS. Wearing this in a club, lounge, wedding is just not viable.

[@nourdinh.1450]

think it's getting more and more away from the DJing that we knew. At some point people will think, why am I paying money for someone who stands up on stage with VR glasses and waves his hands around? Is he even real or just an animation? It's becoming more and more unreal, which is why there are more and more parties without smartphones and DJs who play whole sets like they used to, i.e. for several hours. For example, last week was the 25th anniversary of the STEREO Club in Montreal. Danny Tenaglia played a 17.5 hour set, just like in the old days 😉😉😉

[@eskei83]

@@FunctionGermany das ist halt sehr kurz gedacht und klingt für mich genau nach den Kommentaren die man gelesen hat als Digital Vinyl Systeme an den Start gegangen sind. Da schrie auch jeder „ich bring doch keinen Computer in den Club“ … Geräte wie Meta Quest werden in den nächsten 5 Jahren wesentlich kleiner sein als jetzt und leistungsfähiger. Dann trägst du am Ende nur noch ne „normale“ Brille um deine Software zu sehen. Ich weiß nicht ob du schon mal VR probiert hast, aber auch im Home Consumer Market wird es auf kurz oder lang Fernseher und andere Bildschirme komplett ablösen.

[@FunctionGermany]

@eskei83 ich kann deine einwände nachvollziehen, aber ich zweifle start daran, dass die forschung innerhalb der nächsten 10-20 jahre solche produkte ermöglicht. obwohl es VR grob 10 jahre schon gibt, sind motion sickness, screen door effect etc. immer noch probleme, die die dauerhafte nutzung von VR beschränken. motion tracking ist zwar deutlich besser geworden, aber es gibt noch keine technologie für das feedback zum bedienen virtueller controller, was die genauigkeit und intuition extrem einschränkt. auf nem physischen controller oder CDJs kann man fast blind auflegen, oder etwas bedienen und dabei woanders hinschauen. bis es dafür eine lösung gibt sind physische controller notwendig und die VR brille nicht viel mehr als der ersatz für einen laptop statt ersatz für die physischen decks. bitte unterstell mir nicht den gleichen vinyl boomerismus, denn im unterschied zu denen versteh ich die "next gen technologie" :) um es zusammen zufassen: wir brauchen noch 1-2 fundamentale breakthroughs in der forschung, bis deine vorstellung der zukunft möglich ist. dafür reichen keine kleinen verbesserungsschritte. deswegen seh ich die vision sehr kritisch. liebe grüße ✌️
