Software Details
Virtual DJ Pro 7
is a complete music mixing application for your desktop, allowing you
to dump your vinyl turntables for a laptop. Looking like a classic DJ
set-up, with a mixer and two decks, Virtual DJ will be instantly
accessible to DJs and newcomers alike. To get started, simply open your
music library, and drag and drop files into Virtual DJ's decks. There's a
BPM counter to help you judge transitions between tracks, and the
visual wave display also helps to cue up your music.
Virtual DJ Pro 7
is often packaged with USB-based hardware mixing consoles from the
likes of Hercules and Numark, and, in fact, if you really want to delve
into the full array of features, such devices are going to be a
necessity--and they'll require a $99 license fee to upgrade to the Pro
version of the software. That said, you can download the app for free by
itself and make very basic mixes and playlists.
The stylish
interface and high number of features score points, but learning how to
use the program is a hit-or-miss proposition. To be perfectly honest,
using it without mixing hardware (that is, just a mouse and keyboard) is
a challenge, and not one we enjoyed, so we recommend hooking up a
compatible USB controller. Also worth a look: the thorough online user
guide. Virtual DJ Pro is free, fully featured, and well-laid-out. It's a useful option both for aspiring mixers and newbies.
Virtual DJ Pro
is accessible to beginners and packed with extra features. The downside
of the software is that it sticks too much to what a physical DJ setup
is - other programs offer four decks and more user-friendly interfaces -
small knobs may be great for your fingers, but they're less use on a
screen! On the whole, Virtual DJ Pro is a solid, traditional-looking
application. You can showcase your very own mix without having to carry
around expensive and bulky equipment.
