If you're familiar with Algoriddim's processor-intensive AI features for its DJ software and the company's close relationship with Apple, you won't be surprised to hear there's already an update to djay Pro AI for Mac. This release leans heavily on Apple's M1 chip and claims some interesting new tweaks to Neural Mix functionality, inheriting the tools from its iOS counterpart. This is not to be confused with the standalone Neural Mix Pro sampling tool. Djay Pro AI for Mac is available now for free in the App Store, but if you really want to get something out of it, you'll need a Pro subscription ($7/month or $50/year). This unlocks access to all the free audio content and features.

AI and machine learning seem like buzzwords at this point, with their mention spattered across press releases and new product launches. The ubiquity may have numbed us, but some cool and weird things are happening at least. It seems the company has been developing some more interesting uses since then with today's launch of Neural Mix, as part of the new djay Pro AI. These new tools leverage Apple's Core ML framework and the A12 Bionic chip (or higher) to provide on-the-fly audio separation -- similar to what you get with stem files -- but extracted from a single streaming waveform. The Automix AI feature is still on board, but the Neural Mix tools and related UI refresh are what's interesting with this update to djay for iOS.
