Active DJ Studio具有內(nèi)置解碼功能，可以解碼MP3, WAV, Ogg Vorbis等一些最常用的音頻格式：它可以用不同的虛擬平臺同時下載不同的音頻。由于DirectSound的使用，分配播放器可以有獨立的音量，節(jié)拍，播放速率，音高和均衡器值：每一個播放器具有一套內(nèi)置可配置的視覺反饋，例如電平表、頻譜分析儀、示波器和信號波形。

一個內(nèi)置的自動音量控制器可以輕松地通過精確可配置的淡入/淡出，混合從播放列表內(nèi)載入的音頻軌段。

由于與DirectShow的整合，Active DJ Studio可以通過格式載入和播放視頻文件，這些格式的解碼器可在目標機器上使用。通過上面提到的播放器，它可以將不同的音效（均衡，音量，DMO等）應用到視頻文件的聲音部分。

Active DJ Studio對DSP(數(shù)字信號處理器)的外部世界是開放的：它可以與開發(fā)者自己的定制DSP，以及互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上的多種VST（虛擬錄音室技術(shù)）兼容。

我們來看一下它的主要特點：

• 可播放以下音頻格式：MP3, WAV, OGG Vorbis, MP4, AAC, M4A, AC3, FLAC, WavPack, ALAC, W64, AU, PAF, SVX,  NIST, VOC, IRCAM, PVF和CAF。

Active DJ Studio comes with built-in decoding capabilities in order to decode most common sound formats like MP3, WAV, Ogg Vorbis and many others: it can load different sounds at the same time on different virtual decks , usually defined as "players" (*), and, thanks to the use of DirectSound, allocated players can have separate Volume, Tempo, Playback Rate, Pitch and Equalizer values: each player comes with a set of embedded and configurable visual feedbacks like VU-Meter, Spectrum Analyser, Oscilloscope and Waveform.

An embedded automatic fader can easily mix audio tracks loaded inside a playlist with an accurate and configurable fade-in/fade-out.

Thanks to the integration with DirectShow, Active DJ Studio can load and play video files using formats whose specific codec is available on the target machine and, through the mentioned players, it can apply different sound effects (equalization, volume, DMO effects, etc.) to the sound portion of a video file.

Active DJ Studio is open to the external world of DSP effects: it can work with custom DSP effects developed by the developer himself and also with the multitude of VST effects available on the Internet.

Let's see a brief summary of the available features:
