eJay

Ever wanted to go out to your mates with your CD player and say to the have you heard this new song by DJ flip flop and they will listen to it and say wow this really great where did you get it and then you reply I made it then you stand up and look proud? No? Never wanted to do that? Well let me tell you I have, and when eJay came out I thought this is really my chance to make some decent music without learning to play an instrument so surely enough I went to buy it for £20.00ish and now I am about to write a review about it also eJay have numerous different types of software i.e. dance eJay, hip-hop Ejay but the product I am reviewing is eJay special edition which has ...  Read the complete review

Where do I start? eJay's have been around for years. Ive tried them all. I even went out and bought Dance eJay 2 thinking it would be brilliant. How wrong I was. OK, at the time, when I first got it, I did like it. But within a week I realised how limited it is. Heres a few examples: You cant make your own samples within the program itself, you have to use one of the loops supplied. Well, unless you count the Groove Generator (which is crap). All the synths and basslines etc come in 4 or 5 keys and are marked as such. This makes it a lot easier to find stuff that goes well with each other. But on the other hand it only allows you to create ...  Read the complete review

I've just laid down a massive dance beat...... It's a haunting little melody in a trancey kind of way, that's destined to top the charts in another couple of months, to be sure. Ok I'm dreaming again, I know. But with ejay dance 2+ it is easy to imagine that your creations WILL peak the charts - they just sound so professional. You get 16 tracks to use up for the massive array of sampled sounds that they provide. You can strike your own drum beat or use the vast selection on offer. You can record voice or any other sound you want or add in existing wave sounds and then tweak them to make them sound spot on. Laying down tracks ...  Read the complete review

The eJay programs come in a couple of flavours - Dance eJay and HipHop eJay. There have been plenty of good reviews on this program, particularly on its sleeve, but it really isn't very good. The main problem is that it's a toy. When you realise this, you can start to enjoy it for what it is. You cannot make anything sounding vaguely original on it, due to the way you have to drag and drop the terrible preset wicka-witcha-waa scratches etc. onto the timeline. I promise that no matter what you do, the stuff you come up with will sound very dull to anyone else. The box of HipHop eJay tells you to "keep the flava real". How ghetto? Not at all.
