Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An iPhone app lets DJs monitor USB mixer channels over Bluetooth headphones and record individual channels to separate files.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-27 issue.

For: DJs using USB mixers with an iPhone
Worth noticing: The FAQ puts Bluetooth delay at typically 150–200 ms and says the app is for checking channels, not beatmatching by ear.

Field notes

For listed mixer models, the app labels channel pairs and marks the master using manufacturers’ factory layouts; the page advises renaming pairs if a mixer’s utility settings have been changed. Recordings go to the iPhone Files app, with file names carrying session start, channel, and offset so they can be aligned in a DAW. The page lists USB-C and Lightning connection routes.
