That's literally Virtual DJ (A bit of software a lot of DJ's use) Reskinned and put on some fancy screen. Prob one of the worst pitches I have ever seen.

I love the haters. If you only realized that this product came out in 2010. The funny thing is this repost video a decade later has more views that @TraumaticAI has on their entire channel. So basically STFU!

I was looking for a fellow person that knew anything about music lol ur so right. Anytime I see a pitch to do with "revolutionizing" the music industry I cringe bc we know how it will go. These ppl come in knowing most of the dragons barely know any specifics with stuff like that

Wow, looking back at these episodes, the multi-dragon partnerships seem fairly commonplace, seems like their MO. Makes real good sense for both the Dragons and the partners, the partners should 100% take that deal every time.
Without knobs and faders you are forced to watch the screen and not the crowd.. horrible idea

Not really - turns out, you can touch a touchscreen as easy as a knob all while watching the crowd. Not really a horrible idea !

DJs used vinyl before CDs not cassette tapes. That's why

Cassettes never replaced vinyl, they were an alternative for portable players, travel, cars etc that was impossible with vinyl. You obviously don't know music. The CD absolutely replaced vinyl.

Maybe out of your price range, but we sold 500 globally, so I guess there are people with more money than you. The new one will be double that price...and guess what!? They will sell, because the product is awesome!

Not sellable idea... its just a toy for fun mostly... even poffesional DJs its too simple... and touch screen is bad idea... non resposive and you need your eyes on it... Virtual DJ seem way better idea with HW plugings

Touch screen can be responsive also. Nokia phones had this already like 15 years ago. Not saying this was a good pitch or anykind of good product, but even your Android/iPhone can be responsive if you enable it.
