I've always used VDJ ever since I switched from the old CDJs and continue to be blown away by what they offer. Just download the 2023 version and these new STEMS are AMAZING

After a 20 year hiatus I decided to start doing music again about 7 years ago. I started back with VDJ and since then have had serato and rekordbox but I have to say VDJ has consistently been my go to program and has shown itself to be a legitimate dj tool that is versatile, stable and perfomance minded. The latestest stem upgrade is nothing short of phenomenal! Clean as a whistle and definitely the best out there right now. Thank you for letting people know that being a serato snob may be keeping you from having the best performance software at your disposal in your gig bag!

Thank you Terry for an honest STEM review. I compared Serato and VDJ and at this point, VDJ is better. I know DJs can be bias with their favorite software but you demonstrated each genre equally and the results were clear.

Thanks for the review. Big big update for Virtual DJ!! Nice move!! 👏👏👏

[DJRachelLynch]

Thanks for your time to do this. 💯👌🏻 Appreciate it.

The first time you soloed the vocal in Virtual DJ my jaw dropped. I've been using Izotope RX for manual separation for years, and never got anything nearly that clean. truly impressive.

Virtual DJ has always stood up to all other brands. It unfortunately didn't get the recognition it deserved over the years.

Stems 2.0 is on a whole league of its own now

[MBrulla]

The same advice I give to people about massive hard drives applies to stems.

Pre-analyze those you plan to use. You don't need to do your whole library.

That said, this update echoes what I keep saying. VDJ will not allow another software, Serato especially, to be the best for long.

DJs are just so blessed to be alive in this day and age! Great review and comparison, my dude. Very thorough as always.

Another great review from my brother. I gotta give VDJ some big credit because although it seem like Serato is more popular VDJ had stems way before Serato. I been using VDJ stems and I think it is very good. And another thing I like about VDJ is if your purchase the full package, you entitle to life time free upgrades.

This is a big step up and clearly a long time in the making. I agree that the winners are DJing overall in this race for perfection!

I uploaded a comparison of VDJ Stems v2.0 with v1 if others are interested (I removed the direct YT link as it felt disrespectful)

I do feel that Serato will be the ones to watch in the future again, as iZotope has a head start on this tech.
Keep on making these great videos CT.

So happy I switched to VDJ gonna need to update when I get home

[dJBoog]

Just updated VDJ and it definitely improved a lot. I'm much more confident in its performance.

[KennethAYoung]

Yo!!! I see you @Cleveland Terry saying more good things about Virtual DJ, who woulda thought that. Glad that you're thriving, man!

[DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

the battle of the Stems continues.I must say VDJ is doing well

[DJILLEE]

Great comparison! Not that I'd switch software ever but it's good to know. Virtual DJ has really stepped it up a notch. We've come a long way from carrying record crates or cds haven't we?

[ginosteiner]

yes, I agree with you completely. You can hear it quite well through my headphones. Serato filters out the highs a little more, so the voices sound a bit muffled compared to Virtual DJ, which filters it out really well with the Stems 2.0. We don't even need to talk about Djay, sounds like the first stems that Virtual Dj released at the beginning!

I been using Virtual Dj since 2020 And iv'e been doing all my mixes on there every since. I still have my Serato DJ But i don't hardly use it anymore since i downloaded the software for Virtual DJ in 2020, I like the quality of everything it has to offer And everything works A1 perfect for me. I just upgraded to the new 2023 version of Virtual DJ lastweak And the stems sounds great👍😎😎😎
