Putting a camera in front of the computer screen instead of simply sharing the screen is the most VDJ-user move.

Thank you for posting this. I switched in 2020 and like you "NEVER LOOKED BACK". The thing that saved me a ton of time is the automix for cocktail and dinner times and the ability to edit it as it's playing.

[izzyduzzit]

I’ve used both and switched to vdj for good back in 2018. Serato is like 5 years behind on most features. Crazy how easier vdj is

[tikipete]

I have been using VDJ since 2008 and have tried to use other software and it just seems like a step backwards to me.

i migrated to vdj 3 months ago... adding new songs to serato was so much time consuming.... i hated prepare list without the possibility to mantain tracks after loaded on decks... i hated autoplay feature... wanted only a basic automix in winamp style (removing dead air and some simple fade between tracks). But my biggest issus was the constant audio driver fail on ddj sz when entering in internet.... On vdj all issues gone :)

Been using VDJ since version 5 and compared to others it’s always ahead of the pack! The stuff that was release about a month ago on another platform regarding EFX on Stems, etc. have been in VDJ now for almost two years. Been using the variable adjustments Stems for so long that can’t remember when I started using that feature. In more complex setups the use of NDI to send out and bring in sources to other application like Resolume, VMix, etc. The list goes on. Built in EFXs and Transitions for Videos. I am a true supporter.

I have both Serato and VDJ and just like someone here said- I've switched 100% to VDJ- especially when doing videos- so flawless

Traktor has had these features for a decade or more:

- preview
- preparation list
- cruise control (auto-mix)
- automatic doubles (clone)
- color matched key suggestions
- stems (not separated on the fly, though)

I started using them thanks to videos like this though.

FINALLY, SOMEBODY WITH COMMON SENSE. Great video Aaron.

When it comes to keys i noticed some are wrong i compared them with mixed in key. I just check the comments tab for info from mixed in 🗝️

Big VDJ user for 15 years now, its the best!

I'm 35+ years in this game and started testing VDJ back when it was AtomixMP3 in 2000. I officially switched from Traktor DJ/Studio when the first VDJ Pro version was released. It cost me $50 to upgrade to a permanent Pro license back then! I've used every piece of DJ software out there. None of them have kept up with VDJ, especially feature-wise. I've never had to buy anything extra to play videos, karaoke, etc. It's not a computer resource hog and it works with damn near any controller on the market. Some people hate and disrespect VDJ, but I haven't seen a software that has out-performed it, yet. It has never let me down.

Sidelist - has been a feature since before I started using it in 2006. and because screen space is usually in short supply, you can enable the old school horizontal sidelist in Options (requires restart to enable)
Custom buttons? try this one with AsktheDj and label it REQUEST get_askthedj_unread ? blink it will make the custom button blink when you get a request via AskTheDJ

but this is a fav custom button/easter egg they've had forever: GET FOOD. open the button editor - under Category select System and under Action select getfood then close editor and click the button

[StevenShearer-euqc]

Another option is to create a quick access button. i have key, bpm, genre, colour my favourite tracks i colour. i can shortlist my fav tracks in seconds

VDJ is like the Android to Serato being Apple. Android comes out with features years before Apple, but when Apple has a new feature they get all the praise as if it’s the coolest thing ever. Also, the Automix function on VDJ is way better than Serato. Transitions are way smoother. It comes in clutch for cocktail hour when I’m trying to breakdown ceremony gear.

[bigtimeeventsdj]

I'll toss requests and bangers I think of into the sidelist and its SO useful. As is the AutoList for ceremony prelude or cocktail hour or dinner.

[MrKbz]

Love this software, I’ve been using it for the past 10 years. It’s miles away from every other DJ program and their capabilities.

[corycoffey]

I have owned VirtualDJ for years, and I have Serato just because of my mixers have the license. Going back and forth playing with them I always use Virtual DJ. Also, they have the best consumer friendly license model. Buy it once for life. Way it should be.

[martinyourn]

Thank you Aaron. I'm a professional DJ in Melbourne, Australia, and I've been using Virtual DJ for years. I've learned about so many features by watching your video. Typical male, I never read the instruction manual! :)

[gabyj]

Stop it, stop it! Don't try to sell me this thing. Sold. You convinced me. I'm giving in. I just got the Numark Stream Pro Go and VDJ can virtually make my unit like the NI S4 like having more than 2 channels with the Side List and preview feature. Thanks Aaron. Love your sense of humor : )
