DJ software for Windows and Mac OS X: Page 5 (1133 words)
When you launch Disco, you are greeted by a very white and clean interface that is nice enough, but clearly done by a single developer.
Although Disco includes a pitch bend, which is nice for a low-end app, what's missing are the little touches like simply being able to click on the portion of a levels slider to have it jump to that point—you have to grab and drag everything, which further limits this bare bones package.
It became pretty clear using Disco that it's not for anyone who values sound quality or just full execution of the features provided and while I'm a big fan of underdog developers, this isn't one to do them proud.
Disco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2100 words)
Initially, most disco songs catered to a nightclub/dancing audience only, rather than general audiences such as radio listeners, but there are many aspects proving opposite tendencies as well; popular radio-hits were being played in discothèques, as long as they had an easy to follow rhythmic base-pattern close to 120 BPM (beats per minute).
Disco music diverged from the rock of the 1960s, elevating music from the raw sound of 4-piece garage bands to refined music composed by producers who contracted local symphony and philharmonic orchestras and session musicians.
Most disco songs have a steady four-on-the-floor beat (sometimes using a 16-beat pattern on the hi-hat cymbal, or an eight-beat pattern with an open hi-hat on the "off" beat) and a heavy, syncopated bassline.
