Audio interfaces
djay works seamlessly with a wide range of audio interfaces, whether they’re built into a DJ controller or used as standalone devices. Understanding the difference between the two helps you choose the right setup for your workflow.
DJ controllers with built-in audio interfaces
Many controllers from brands like Pioneer, Reloop, or Hercules include an integrated sound card. These are typically plug-and-play and let you control djay directly using jog wheels, faders, and performance pads while handling your audio input and output automatically.
You can find the full list of compatible controllers on the DJ Gear page.
Standalone audio interfaces
Standalone audio interfaces are external devices that manage audio input and output but don’t include physical DJ controls. They’re ideal if you prefer to use a traditional mixer or other hardware setup with djay.
djay is designed to work flexibly with a wide range of audio interfaces. In general, any audio interface that works with your device’s operating system will also work with djay.
djay supports a wide range of external audio interfaces:
- On Android, djay supports class-compliant audio interfaces (interfaces that don't require additional drivers).
Unlike some other DJ platforms, djay doesn’t lock you into specific audio interfaces. This open approach gives you the flexibility to use the equipment that best fits your setup.
Compatibility and support
While most class-compliant audio interfaces will work with djay, performance may vary depending on the hardware—we can't guarantee the performance of products that have not been fully tested. Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer troubleshooting or customer support for hardware we’re not familiar with.
For the best experience, make sure your interface is class-compliant and use officially supported devices listed on the DJ Gear page.
