Hello from Interaktiv Audio — a musician-who-codes building for Traktor on iPad

interaktiv_akoppelainteraktiv_akoppela
in Introduce Yourself

Hi everyone — I'm Andrey, the engineering half of Interaktiv Audio.

My background's split down the middle: software architect since 2008, but also a lifelong musician with a classical education in both music theory and computer science. I DJ and produce, and I run a small studio (Vibrohive) over in Chiang Mai. The thread through all of it is wanting technology to actually serve musical expression instead of getting in the way of it.

I build Interaktiv Audio with my co-founder Pierantonio — a DJ and producer since 1990 (he performs as Iltoro) who's played Traktor since its earliest versions. He spent decades feeling the same gap on stage: Traktor's deepest tools are powerful on paper but hard to truly play live. My job was to turn that into software you can trust in front of a crowd. Our first instrument is Interaktiv Tap for iPad.

I'm here because this is the one community that takes the iPad as a real instrument seriously, and I care a lot about the unglamorous stuff — latency, reliability, what happens two hours into a set. I'd rather be part of the conversation than drop a link and disappear, so I wanted to say hello first. I'll post about the app properly in its own thread.

Looking forward to being around. 👋

    Looks brilliant.

    I hope one day, you guys might even replace Traktor :smiley: . I'm being selfish because I don't bring laptops to performance anymore. I'm using Djay Pro on the ipad, which is splendid (the only thing I prefer about Traktor is they have a delay effect that can do 100% feedback, which all delays should be able to do, but most DJ softwares don't, Djay's doesn't – if you ever used a Pioneer DJM2000 it had the 3 individual bands feedback amount up to 100 which to me is the best delay implementation I've yet found in DJ gear), and I'm combining Djay with Loopy Pro, using KQ Loopback to virtual audio Djay in to Loopy, but hoping Ableton Link Audio appears in Djay Pro in future, ideally at a stem level! With that setup I'm then doing live remix things combining what I've got in Djay with the affordances of Loopy and its hosting of various software instruments and effects plus the widgets as interface building for a midi controller of Djay.

    Actually, thinking about it, if you ever had firstly a DJay edition of Interaktiv Tap, and then wrapped up as an AUv3, I'd use that, in Loopy, as it would replace my own similar midi controlling midi mapping canvas that I built (and keep finessing) in Loopy for controlling Djay. I'd leave all that work to you guys, and just pop open the AUv3 interface full screen in Loopy.

    I built that canvas because 1 switching apps is mildly uncomfortable, rather be in one place, and 2, as you point out about live performing, the layout of these dj apps isn't actually perfect for performing, so I put all the controls where I need them at once within Loopy.

    Thank you, @Michael_R_Grant — that means a lot. The philosophy's the whole point, so I'm glad it lands.

    Thanks! And honestly this is the comment I was hoping someone would make — you've hand-built in Loopy basically what we're building as a product, and for the exact reason we started: the app's layout is made to run, not to play, so you put everything where your hands need it. That "built my own canvas because the layout isn't for performing" is our whole starting point.

    The "don't bring laptops anymore" part — I like that you've committed to full iPad. Most of the booth still rocks up with a USB stick and whatever CDJs are in the house, so you're early to this. Djay on the iPad is genuinely good. I won't promise a roadmap, but Traktor's where we started, not where we see it ending.

    On the AUv3-in-Loopy idea — I get exactly why you want it: one place, no app-switching, every control at once. That instinct is spot on, and it's genuinely interesting to us. I'll be straight that it's a big undertaking and not something I'd commit to here — but it's noted, and you're exactly the person I'd want to chew it over with.

    (And the delay-feedback point — totally hear you. Being able to actually perform an effect instead of toggling it is exactly the kind of thing we want under your fingers.)

    Since you've actually lived this, I'd love your take:

    • In your one-surface setup, what are you reaching for most mid-set — FX, loops, or stems?
    • How much do you lean on Djay's stems when you perform?
    • Beyond wanting it all in one place — what did you actually put where in your canvas that the app's layout got wrong?

    Discord if you fancy going deeper: https://discord.gg/CDrPQUzyZY — happy to keep it here too. Really glad you're around.

    Superb! I'll reply at length once I get over a current workload hump. This will be great.

    No rush at all — get the workload sorted first, the thread'll keep. Really looking forward to your take whenever it lands. And if it's ever easier to just kick it around in the Discord, the door's open there too.

    The AI style tone is extremely disturbing though. Perhaps you genuinely write that way. But I think I'm not alone around here in not being inclned to communicate via bot translated sentiment :)

    Always true. Use it for the app description if needed, but at least respond as a human.

    Allright. You got me ;) English isn't my first language, so I use AI to help me write it cleaner. But the thoughts are all mine. I hear you though — it makes me read like a robot, and nobody wants to talk to a robot, sure thing. So from here you get the real me, clumsy grammar and all. Thanks for saying it straight.

    Welcome!
    Sounds interesting, can't wait to learn more about the app!
    Used to live in Thailand for 7 years ! I heard Chiang Mai changed a lot and got very busy with traffic.

    Thank you! We have videos on YouTube I'm working on some more "How To" and "Setup" style videos. Setup though is very simple though. Otherwise support page has it all. On a nice side I actually implemented MCP server with whole KB there. So it's possible to connect it to your local agent and ask any questions about the app in natural language. Makes it very convenient to learn anything about the app.

    I'm in Chiang Mai for last 3 years, it's ok with traffic here. There are certainly rush hours, but I lived on Bali before for 12 years and Chiang Mai can not be compared to Bali in terms of traffic =)
