Allready been said, But to get your virtual dj effects to echo out with the fader down you just need to go into setting and find the fx section and change it to post fader. pretty much any problem you run into can be fixed in the settings.
You can't have both a lot more features and be less complicated. But in fact you can. With VDJ the whole UI can be redesigned element by element to be exactly what you need. It takes a bit of time but you can pay someone to design your perfect layout, down to buttons, sizes and pixels. Then you're set for years.
I used Virtual DJ 15 years ago as a wedding DJ, then took a long hiatus until late last year when I decided to be a club DJ in less than 2 months. Still had the lifetime license, so made sense to just use VDJ.
I never found it overwhelming or busy. I've looked at it as having a bunch of features waiting for me to discover/learn.
If there's one thing I find confusing about other software/standalone systems it's the data management.
as a VDJ pro user who is just now after 5 years starting to mess around with Serato this video was HILARIOUS! because its me.... but looking at Serato like what the hell is this!? hhhahah great vid
There are settings to make all shortcuts the same as serato. There are also skins to make it look and feel like serato.
Nice vid tutorial, it took a bit to figure out the functions of virtual dJ and I must say it has advantages over Serato, one thing I notice was I could use any streaming sites at the same time, that blew me away because everything is at my fingertips. I’m still learning and love it. Thank you for the demo
VDJ has skins and had stems long before the Serato 3.0 update. Its all a matter of preference but VDJ just offers so many user configurable options that Serato does not. But the main issue for Serato (for me) is that you need a fairly decent laptop to use the software as it is a resource hog. VDJ can run on a potato laptop with no issues.
potato laptop, yum..lol serato is bloated and slow lol
I believe you didn't need to use lexicon! VDJ reads your serato crates automatically in the crates folder. Also under options type "fx" and select the post-fader fx vs pre-fader.
hes taken 8years... so he's completely green about vdj improvements...
My thoughts exactly
Yes I was going to say this as well. 1st time I opened VDJ, all the serato crates were there plus the cue points.
@@TheSocaVault yea! Serato Djs should all have VDJ as a backup in case they encounter non-serato hardware.. I like that I can Dj with Rekordbox Djs & Serato Djs on whatever hardware
You can't judge the book by the cover.virtual DJ is more easy to use than serato.virtual DJ can do everything serato do .and serato cannot do lot of things vdj can do .get to know vdj and you'll see 👍🏿
Yeah this was literally open up and have a first look. No research or anything. Over the next few weeks I’m gonna deep dive into this software
Virtual DJ is superior in every way.
This is very intuitive for people that never used any DJ software before.
I just don't get why you should use the cmd+left/right shortcut from the keyboard, and you don't use s9's BROWSE knob that's designed to do just that. I think you can save some seconds there. The thing is that i've seen this loading also from a lot others using s9. Is there aproblem using the 2 seperate browse knob on s9?
some notes. a great review for someone just coming in and starting on VDJ fresh, appreciate that man. serato is ala carte pricing, VDJ give full features for that price, so it seems higher but if u add up the expansion packs and everything else to get serato full featured it does come up to a lot more. secondly the hardware support is basically pretty much 99% of all controllers or HID capable hardware in VDJ. vs serato needs licensed products to be compatible. in terms of complicated yes it very much far feature rich than serato, u can set cue point, u just need to change the layout of the interface. effects u can set post fader or pre fader in the settings, but the VDJ effects are not great and that we all have to agree on. its a lot if ur coming from any other software like serato or RB or engine. but if u do a lot of mobile events and u want to organize and plan shit out VDJ does lot of it, but its an effort to learn, u can even change the EQ frequencies if u want to, i once used it at a private event where the room had bad acoustics. play around with it man, its a great sw to have in the laptop for any emergencies with Serato, i learned that very early, and i am basically software and hardware agnostic now, i keep serato RB and VDJ all in one laptop. there was 2 times where the laptop in the club failed and there was no other choice but to use VDJ for the rest of the night for even the other DJ that was on, coz it failed on his set.
Also the library there are options on the side to clean that view up if u only want to see music folders and nothing else
Yeah.. This video is $tupid.. You instantly started criticizing the program from the start, and very biased.. VDJ is the fruity loops of DJ software, extremely easy with hella options you need to due diligence and try again it's definitely not a fair shake and I'm a rekordbox user, but know VDJ & Serato as well.
Hi, I've used Serato and Virtual Dj for years and the first thing I've loved in VDJ was that it reads my Crates directly with all my cue points. I can't understand why you passed out to open the Crates tab and find all your music before conversion. Anyway I love the way VDJ let me decide how much separation between stems during mix, but they are focused on two different kind of DJs, mixing vs scratching.
Right his crates from serato would automatically be in vdj
@@RayHolman-e5o I can see my Serato crates natively in VDJ, but not my Serato Cue points 😢
What am I doing wrong?..
Yes love it. Do more of these for V DJ
I never managed to play with virtual dj or serato, touch was just very different and very weird for me. I think virtual dj is very flexible though. you can throw in skins, map all the buttons etc. In Traktor I have my own mappings for many buttons and jog wheels have been adjusted to fit my mixing. then again, video tells clearly that softwares aren't interchangeable without some adjusting.
Why doesn't VDJ have their own dj controller. Everything seems to be Serato confused software.
I have had Virtual dj for over 15year from day one it was very simple to used, i have not look back since,i think what people need to do is check tutorial on the software also they are video link with in the software to help 👊🏿
Virtual dj is like Android you can customize it to your liking not like serato. Two different software is like android vs apple so next time please to your research before you critique the most Powerful DJ software on Earth
I have used Serato for the past 30 years. I started using VDJ in 2020. I like them both. VDJ takes a little longer to get started, but it offers more features than Serato. It also has better video controls than Serato. Serato sounds best.
You might want to revise the first line (Serato as a company was established in 1998) and so is max 26 years old at time of your post (the first available version of Scratch Live I think came out early to mid 2000s).
The other two are opinions I respect (but don't necessarily agree with especially the first...from my and most i'other DJs in my circle's experience, Serato always took very long to startup and shutdown, VDJ just starts almost immediately). However, they both work well once tuned.
@@djvinyltouch4027 I guess I was wrong in the number of years, but I have been using Serato for a very long time, is what I should have said.
If you have the driver already installed you dont need to re install for another dj program. in the case you dont have the driver installed youll need to install anyway dosent matter if is Serato or VDJ. peace!
Ahhh that’s good to know. Thanks!
I have both Virtual for home it is so much fun. Seerato for a gig it does a great job.
Serato e vdj sono i migliori entrambi
go deep into settings, if you laptop is powerful enough set pitchquality to 4. and record to wav at its highest. i see you closed that popup with keys. bad idea. click where you see the key by the platter. and make sure it wont match the key of the other deck. or it will all sound samey.
Hey, I was wondering
I wanna start filming DJing clips on tiktok, but it never sounds right
Any tips on how to get clean audio when doing reels and tiktok vids please
Record the video through your phone
Record the audio on your Dj software
Bring both the audio and video into a free video software like iMovie.
Remove the phone audio. Attach the recording audio. Now you have clean audio!
@@DJCEE_B thankyouuu so much. Will help me get out there now
you didn't need Lexicon to import the library to VDJ, VDJ already reads the Serato crates
VirtualDJ - Mobile / Wedding DJs
Serato - Bar / Clubs in the US
Traktor - Some Europe EDM clubs
I started using Vdj since 2005 until I was introduced to serato & I ain’t going backwards 😎 good video bro✌🏾 bless up
I‘m also a Serato user, who switched months ago to vdj Pro.
With a few adjustments (FX, Keyboard mapping, Layout aso.) the software is just so mighty!
I do all my track organization within Serato as crates are automatically imported and no other software is needed.
Btw. Wherever I have newer supported hardware in the clubs I prefer Serato, but when I have older gear which was only supported within scratch live or when I need to use my controller VDJ is the first choice!
I would recommend VDJ especially for wedding DJs, as you can fast change your gear without worry about any connection issues.
How you moved from serato to VDJ ,when VDj look so unprofessional 🤷♂️🤦♂️
@@DjDonKimbert it looks nearly the same when adjusted
But Serato DJ pro crates work in virtual DJ eve though u don't use dat software
You can change the layout on the top to Performance mode and I feel it looks a lot better than the default mode, and more similar to Serato's color scheme. What's funny is I used to have Serato as my main software and VDJ my backup, until one day my laptop crashed and I was forced to use VDJ. Since then, I haven't gone back :)
you messed up when you transferred form serato you never needed to all you needed to do is click on crates folder
Yeah I realised after!
Just barely at the 2 minute mark. And already I see yet another serato dj about to totally misrepresent VDJ with a totally biased opinion after having no real knowledge on the power versatility ease of use stability and absolute customizability of this amazingly perfect VDJ software. I have used both for years and now... I ONLY use serato when I HAVE to. VDJ has always been a giant leap ahead. Needless to say .. I won't be resuming this vid.
I guarantee that anything this guy will say is wrong with VDJ is inaccurate because he doesn't even know the program. You can literally adjust EVERYTHING.
Don't be lazy bro. Learn it before you critique it.
lol so true. how the hell you gonna have expert opinions when you only tried vdj for week or two? give yourself a year and see how deep vdj goes, it's mind blowing.
Why do Serato users love to touch the computer so much? Isn't the whole idea to dj with the controller not the computer
"Ohhhh my tiny brain, this is waaaaaay toooo complicated" my god just stick to serato than... i use serato vdj rekordbox and traktor and i prefer vdj
VDJ is the linux of dj software
do yo share the warmup crates at all ?
That’s unique to the venue you DJ, there’s a video about it on his page..
you dont need that lexicon, vdj transfers your crates automatically
Vdj is for the power user. You can do virtually anything you want with vdj. Thats why I use it. You can even write scripts for it. Lol. I think many djs hate it because of this particular reason. Why hate something that gives u a lot of options?? Definitely look into vdj more. The post fader echo effect can be set. Vdj starts a lot faster than serato and the file management and analysis is a lot more flexible. The only thing i need from vdj is to make official vdj hardwares.
Yeah I’m defo going to look into this a lot more over the next coming weeks
@P4boot. Exactly, man. You hit the nail on the head. Vdj needs to make controllers exclusively for the software. But, otherwise, I'm a big Vdj user. I have Tractor Pro and Engine Dj. But Vdj is my go to, most definitely.
How can I get the sampler volume to stop reset every time I open the vdj software
@@whatagwaanja2 are u using with a controller? What controller?
Virtual dj is one of the greatest dj software I have come across, I know you are just trying it out but I must say its expendable ... like anything is possible with virtual dj.. but the hype and people algorithm always pumping serato
I use virtual dj I hate the starter I use the pro
VDJ is powerful
VDJ is and always has been aimed at pro mobile DJ's not so much the club guys (and gals) so as a long time user myself, ignore the crap you don't need and focus on what it does very well IMO as our US cousins like to say.
I’ve used it for Club and bar events. Works great
come on man, you thought you would just pick it up after not using for several years, lol. I have been using for 20 years
You have to do your homework bro.... There's so much happening in the engine of this software... It's extremely crazy... Put it this way... Anything you can think of... You can literally customize...
you dont even spend 3 seconds on a thing youre looking for and already saying its too complicated! Thats not bias review at all.
boy u need to take time and setup the software for your needs then make another video
Thats the plan
Str8 Hater Bru
You'll have to change the setting for FX to Post-Fader.
Thanks bro 👊🏽👊🏽
I think if you take time with it ,you going to like it.. Enjoy.
Yeah defo going to spend some time with it
Bro! Go back to your CPU And RAM Hungry Serato. Do some research and make another video honestly. No cap!
VDJ is overwhelming, Serato is straight forward . I started Deejaying with VDJ, however when it comes to moving from turntables to using a virtual software for deejaying…. SERATO is 100x better
If you don't know anything about virtual dj leave it alone, you don't know anything about this program
not smart,
No comparison whatsoever. VDJ is clearly the superior program for every reason so far. I can't think of anything serato does better. Plus, it's barely Customizable at all compared to VDJ. I've never seen someone try virtual DJ and not immediately dump Serato.
First glance at this software will be taking a deeper loook soon 👊🏽
As soon as you clicked the crates icon, if you took the time to read... it says "Coming from Serato? Click here for a few tips" .
Also... on top... you are in "Simple" mode. You are , it seems, an experienced DJ. So you want to go into pro mode.
To do a video in 20 minutes and the entire time something is "Different" you act like its a complete foreign object... you really are not giving it a fair shake
If you learned Serato in 20 minutes... you are a god. My guess.... it took you a while to get there.
You are comparing everything.... but a true first time user... would have no issue learning VDJ the first time.
Also... MUCH more addons and flexible tools for various types of DJ"s... not just basic jocks :)
All the things you said "It does not do..." like the effects, yes. You can map and change it to do what ever you want :) unlike Serato.
If you had a "Wish list" that Serato does NOT do... that might make a better video. It will do all the things you need.
It's like calling a Car "Complicated" when you have only ever been on a Bicycle
Thank you for doing the video, would have loved it to be a little less BIASED toward Serato and more an open experience.
Just tell everyone u don’t like virtual dj……. This is stupid
You dont know what you are doing
Lol, I'm going to instantly jump from iPhone to Droid and expect to understand everything...
Much love...always a hard time trying to swap software.
VDJ reads your serato crates without need for any other conversion software, and all your cues and loops as they are in serato will be seen in vdj. I hate them VDJ for revoking my fully paid lifetime license....i have no idea why I am even selling them anymore
You Serato users are insecure as hell…just stick with that and get off VDJ because it’s a damn good software and I’m making plenty of money with it
Say it again for the slow serato users when they finally wake up they're gonna swear they've been using it. Lol
I think Serato pays y’all to do these silly videos…complicated for the slow ones, OPTIONS for customizing for the real music curators
You are testing one of the most powerful DJ softwares in the world. That requires some learning from videos, other users, etc. to learn quickly. You can’t take a sophisticated racing car out for a spin like a normal sedan. An orientation is necessary. Enjoy.
😂😂😂😂
Couldn't agree more.
I know…watching him whine cause it was confusing…lol….I tried serato years ago when I got started. I signed up for VDJ right away and easily learned it….Hated serato…
Indeed
Using Virtual dj Pro with my Hercules DJ Inpulse Control 500, and it's great. The DJUCED dj software from Hercules seems complicated to me 🤔🤔🤔🤔
It's crazy that we are still having these debates about which is better VDJ or Serato. I have and use both, but prefer VDJ for MY dj needs. I don't Dj in clubs, I do weddings and other events so VDJ works great for me. I do agree with many of the comments, it's unfair to jump into a software that you don't use and have a negative view because it's not like the one you are used too. If all software were the same we would complain about that too. VDJ is used for so many other things other than just djing and that's the option that it gives. Serato is a power house dj program. Biased comparison videos really is not a comparison but a reason to say why I don't really like the other software. Many say that VDJ is clunky and busy, but for the price, I want ALL those options there, it's just my choice to use them. Truth of the matter is, the only people who care what dj software we use is US, the people we are rocking for could care less as long as the music is good!
Exactly!
I'm wondering why make a video and complain about how this thing that I'm trying for about an hr is nothing like the thing that I'm used to using for years.
If Serato, VirtualDj, Djay Pro, Rekordbox work for you, then keep on using it.
If you actually want to try something new, then actually try it. Give it a few days. Weeks before deciding what works for you.
I use Serato, VirtualDj and Rekordbox. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.
At some point I might try Djay pro and if I do, I'm not doing it to complain about it's weakness but to see if it's something I could incorporate into my sets.
Agree…Virtual DJ is superior
DJs that keep touching the knobs without adjusting anything - Look Mom, I'm DJing.
This video is hilarious. I like the fact that this man knew nothing about the software and did a review on the fly. lol lol. Man making virtual dj look soooo complicated when it really isn't. Virtual DJ does alot more than Serato and that's why it may seem complicated to someone who never used it before. It takes times to learn all what VDJ can do that Serato cannot. Love the video still though. lol lol. Good vibe.
Virtual DJ is super tight man! I really do credit them for their ability to support so many controllers and on top of that allow changing the mappings on most of those controllers. I broke a tempo slider, and it sucked but with a little tweaking I was able to unbind it and instead manipulate the BPM via the pads, I gotta say I'm better working the BPM using the pads since my tempo sliders are freaking tiny, never liked them anyway. That's the wonderful thing about VDJ is that you can make it 100% personal to you. This is why it's my favorite.
Virtual dj is way more easy to use than serato dj pro....I think u need a good Mastery for all the softwares to clearly explain the lapses ..I mean no disrespect....
🤣🤣 this guy is saying every is complicated...YET SERATO USERS say VDJ if for beginners. WHAT🙃 something so so complicated is for BEGINERS 🤫 it beats my mind
VDJ is compatible with a lot of DJ equipments. I use it as a backup when the controller isn’t compatible with Rekordbox. You didn’t need to use Lexicon with VDJ. VDJ automatically connects with other DJ software. I started using VDJ in the early 2000s.
That's the most key mistake in this video. Should give credit to VDJ. No Lexicon is needed. It just natively reads Serato Crates. It works like charm for bi-directional sync.
Virtual DJ is the best DJ software on the market .I know this because I use .traktor.serato . djay pro.djuce and rekordbox .and none compare to vdj.
I all feel he's being disingenuous. Like he's purposely acting not knowing what to do. Despite he said he started with the software....I love virtual although traktor is my preferred for time code vinyl..virtual is a straight forward interface. Its when you want to do more than the basics then it opens up to endless possibilities....and your scratching sucks.. to much exaggerated movements ..no finesse. ..but keep practicing and learn from others who are more advanced.
I don’t think he should have made a video until he knew what he was doing somewhat. First off, virtual dj reads serato crates, so you don’t need any additional software. Second I would have changed to the pro skin. Just this entire video looks like her has never touched Virtual dj until the video.
dj cee b the only reason vdj is pricey is because the video software comes free and plays all video formats, unlike serato only mkv and mp4, or you have to convert the format, oh plus serato video u have to pay for. there is alot u can do with vdj, like you can still mix with vdj w/o a controller, while serato is only a player. plus u n change ur interface to match ur hardware. but like i said before i have both, but mostly use vdj.
It's not more or less comfortable. It's a matter of comfort level. When you're used to it, you're used to it. Anything else is foreign. They're both equally complicated and not complicated. You just get used to things and then you're gold.
I tryed Virtual DJ Pro once with an overlay that fits the controller, it really blew my mind.
You should try an overlay for your Setup.
I don´t like Serato.
Rekordbox is ok to use but too much micromanagment, hiding buttons and options that could set wrong.
Still need to investigate Traktor.
Effects are great if you know what you’re doing. He doesn’t.
You sound bias af.... Anyway, anyone can tell me How can I get the sampler volume to stop reset every time I open the vdj software
Why you closed the File-info panel on the right side of the browser (05:36) ?!
Without opening the Tag Editor, you can well edit comment field contents right from there, also can rate the track and edit some other fields in the drop-down-menu way.
Most importantly, the pre-listen fuction is right there, it lets you pre-listen to the track in browser without first loading it on the decks. (Can also pre-listen tracks on streaming services without loading to decks and more)
Serato users should hate it very much so why didn't you show it?! Haha
Anyways, I like watching your other videos very much, keep up the good work!
:)
THIS COMPARISION WOULD BE FAIR IF YOU ... CONSULTED OR DID IT WITH AN ACTIVE VDJ USER... SIDE BY SIDE.. you will learn serato is LIGHT YEARS behind vdj. e.g stems came to vdj ABOUT 3-4 years ago. : playing without hardware has been in vdj since its birth. AND THESE things are just coming to serato.... IN THE NAME OF NEW UPGRADES.. LOL
You are not the best person to review a piece of software new to you. You complaint about not understanding the program, but anybody with experience with VDJ would find it easy to use. You are not comparing two different programs, you are comparing what you know and love with what you don't know
Did you just find out that VDJ is much better than Serato? LOL
VDJ is the best configured. It is the lightest and fastest for computer resources.
Stupid serato is long behind.
Lol why did u have to use lexicon all u had to do is open crates the music was already there automatically i think u guys have too much software at hand i never had to use no other software to get my serato crates into Vdj 🤔🤔🤔
its so complicated for you but not for those who love using it. i must tell you its very very easy for those who use it .
Great video dude, I use both software and I must say Virtual DJ in the last 2 years has taken a slight advantage over Serato. Serato feels more clunky than the old scratch live
vdj is totally simple to use, Just work with it more,
Shame the video opened with a misguided comparison.
VDJ is more expensive but feature wise is comparable to Serato DJ Pro Suite which is 14.99 USD a month, not the 9.99 tier. However to buy it outright VDJ is 299 Vs 449 for Serato Pro DJ Suite, which surely was worth pointing out?
You know VDJ will just import your Serato crates for you...right?
I use VDJ extensively if you want a call I can show you some tips on it. The configuration can be confusing but the options when setup can make it pretty good.
Can you help me please!
Even when he compared prices he was wrong….VDJ is comparable to the highest Serato package not lite…very misleading
Trailing stop in the fx edit tab just press the small plus sign to open on the echo or delay effect
no its not complicated you just more time with the programme then i can promise you will love it. just as you are used to serato is exactly why you feel comfortable with it, is because you have used it for a long time. virtual dj file reading is excellent finding songs finding folders are awsome and not complited for eg rekordbox. you just need the time on the programme
I think that it just seems overwhelming because there are so many options. It's the most flexible DJ software in existence. You can totally remap the functions on your hardware. You can even get skins that like you said resemble serato, or skins that look like your actual hardware setup. There are also plugins for free that you can install as well. It's so versatile it's ridiculous. Side note, I prefer the pro layout the essentials layout is okay but the pro version just feels right LOL
Nice video but here’s a bit of advice. Before you do a fair comparison of DJ software competitors, familiarize yourself with the product. I’m quite sure your stumbling and inexperienced surprises were exactly like this when you started with Serato DJ. Just my honest opinion.
You will have to spend about a month to customize vdj to your liking
BTW you didn't need lexicon.. yoy can open your serato crates with having to use a different software also. They were already there the whole time... with virtual the database will remember every folder you open within vdj you can just look for the song instead of trying to remember what crate it's in..
Goto settings to change post fade effects
Yeah found that out after the video. Will go over all this stuff in the next video
Thanks
I bet when you do some more studying of vdj you’ll be like WOW? We pro vdj users got a good laugh tho. Plz do an in depth video. Thanks
In depth video is coming
How can I get the sampler volume to stop reset every time I open the vdj software
hi i want virtual dj crack software for mac pc please send me even if i pay
Remember BDJ is lifetime with lifetime updates. VDJ is not complicated. It’s just that once you are accustomed to one particular software transition to another software gonna be kinda tingling. The only thing I dislike VDJ for is the lack of effects
