PCDJ DEX 3 Karaoke is the only DJ software with all the features a modern and versatile DJ requires to make any every gig a total success.


The effects section can be swapped out with the press of a button for a Sample Player, which allows you to load up 8 sound clips of your choice that can be triggered and played over-top the mix. Choose to BPM sync your samples to the master player for seamlessly drops.

Record Your Audio And Video Mix
Capture your audio and video mixes with DEX 3 DJ software using the built-in recording features.

Want to record a video mix session in full-HD to share with a prospective client?   DEX 3 will capture a video mix in stunning 1920×1080 HD with zero loss in quality so you can present your finished mix exactly the way you intended.   The latest DEX 3 version includes built-in support for Icecast (streaming media server) so you can stream your audio mixes live via the internet to all your fans.

Display Text, Image And Video Overlays On Screen

85+ COMPATIBLE DJ CONTROLLERS
DJ Controllers provide hands-on tactile control over DEX 3, allowing for more creativity while mixing. Over 85 DJ controllers from popular DJ equipment manufacturers are natively supported, which means zero-configuration required so you can get into the mix right away. Use multiple DJ controllers at once — DEX 3 will even detect when a controller is connected in real-time. Your DJ controller isn’t included in our supported list? Use LEARN to map it easily yourself. When you press a button, twist a knob or scratch a platter on your DJ controller DEX 3 will react immediately, without latency.
