Pacemaker Lets Amateur DJ Mix with Their Spotify Accounts

— September 29, 2016 — Tech
Pacemaker is an app for the amateur DJs out there who wish that it were easier to share their musical creations with the rest of the world. The app connects to users' Spotify accounts, allowing them to create mixes from Spotify's gigantic library of songs and helping out with an automatic beat-matching function that finds the perfect song combinations.

Pacemaker's beat-matching automatically syncs songs to the same beat, making them blend seamlessly. It also has other remix techniques built in, such as reverb, loop, and Hi-Lo. Outside of these technical features, the Pacemaker app serves as a sort of musical social network. Users can create mixtapes of their DJ mixes and share these with friends. They can also take other users' mixtapes and create remixes, whether in homage or as a challenge.
