VIDEO: The New Amidio’s Touch DJ App For Your Apple iPhone Is Here

Now, a simple app can transform your staid Apple iPhone/iPod touch device into a brilliant recording/editing program. Amidio’s Touch DJ app, which is available for $19.99, lets users independently manipulate two MP3 or MP4A files, including looping, scratching, pitching and so on. The UI of this app is elegant and simple enough to use and gives the user a “visual mixing” feel of it all.

The only catch here, though, is that the user has to reload tracks directory onto the MP3 library – he can’t get it in thru his iTunes library. Still, this seems to be good enough right now. Take a look at the video below and you’ll know what we mean.
