What do you mean by DJ software?

Do you mean software with which you can create music with? Like electronic music? If so Reason is a great app.

Like whatever DJs use to play all ready made music, but they can overlap, and time stretch, and whatever else they do.

Thanks!

reason isnt really what you are looking for, just do a search on macupdate.com for DJ and read some reviews.

Imac Core Duo 1.83/1.5 GB/20 inch cinema, ibook G4 1 ghz

Sure it is. Reason is virtual rack. You can create a loop then when you are DJing you can mess with anything, time, tempo, effects even the notes.

it is rediculous. but it's not cheap.

Which is not what the person wants to do! Reason is for creating music, not DJing. DJing is presenting already-mixed, pre-recorded music. The last time I bought a CD, it didn't include Reason files for me to use.
