    You can turn off "take over mode" ("ghost") for faders. Its a feature to avoid errors when doing things from keyboard or buttons, where the faders no longer match position in software vs hardware. And maybe we should add an easy in face turn off/turn on "software smart modes" so that you can choose to progress slowly as you mentioned. VirtualDJ does give a lot, and if one is used to competitor software, it can perhaps be a bit overwhelming at start. (Keep in mind though, those who start with VirtualDJ might feel the complete opposite when going to other program, that "all" their favorite settings are gone, not feeling home, gui being dumb, etc. What you had a starting point will make a bias no matter what). And with so many features, as VirtualDJ does have, it can be a challenge to present it in a simple manner, true. We are always improving though, and listening .. And thanks for your review :)

      I couldn't agree more here. I've been with VDJ since 2009 and I am so used to having all the incredible features it offers me than when I use Serato, it feels weird and incredibly limited, and a huge step backwards. I appreciate Terry's review from a hard core Serato user. He tried his best to be non-biased, but that really is impossible because what you start out with and become comfortable with ultimately becomes a part of you. It's like a native English speaker learning Spanish and then giving a review on the Spanish language. Spanish will never feel totally comfortable to the non-native Spanish speaker. Anyway, I thank you guys for the awesome DJ software known as Virtual DJ. It's the only choice for me.

      Hello virtual Dj, could you please improve on the Audio engine. the audio sound for virtual Dj is really not Good. its very flat. i use Virtual Dj alot but i have to accompany it with audio isolator to be able to get quality audio from the software. yet when i try other sofwares like Tractor, serato and Rekodbox. the audio and bpm are really Good. please work on the Audio Engine of virtual Dj. other than that. Virtual Dj is very Good.

      I been using VDJ strictly for videos only. I've been doing a 5 hour video party for over a year, no problems, but recently, when i hit my last hour, the screen /waveforms start lagging. I havent done anything to my different computer, its a pc exceeds all the recommended specs too. any idea?

    I completely agree with you. I am a VDJ user, I have been for the last 5 years and honestly, the learning curve wasn't so bad for me. I started using the software without a controller and just learned how to press sync and count beats for drops, phrases and intro. After 3 or 4 months I had fallen in love with Dj-ing and went all in. Took my money, borrowed some more from my dad and hit the store to buy the original pioneer ddj sx for serato. I took the controller out, made my setup and started to play around on the hardware. Learned it pretty quickly and once I tried to make the fine tunning on the software I went back to VDJ. I love the compatibility with hardware, files, ease of use, personalization, support... And since I paid the pro full license, I had all I needed and more. Eventually I bevame a Video Jockey and I already had that "expansion pack" right out of the box. Started to use skins, more controllers, FX, wide pitch adjustment, more use of pads, logo insertions, camera input to the video output, slideshows during my sets... And I only paid once my license. That is the best for me. There are downsides (as everything) but I just love it.
    I consider myself a fanboy of VDJ. And I have used extensively Serato, Rekordbox, VDJ and a little bit of traktor. I will never pay a license for Serato, maybe for rekorbox (just because I only use pioneer gear) and certainly mot traktor since I dont like native instruments and one of my greatest selling points is Video Mixing.
    Actually, consider the fact that VDJ gives you DVS, Video, Scratch, Wide pitch adjustment, Key mixing, Logo insertion, hardware compatibility, file type compatibility, sandbox, personalization skins, cloud backup of sets, broadcast, mp3 and mp4 set recording, slideshow option... And everything is there, right out of the box, no expansion packs, no extra charges, no nothing. And most of the gear will work flawless on VDJ even if not native to it.

    Thanks for the review. I use streaming services a lot so I started to DJ with Djay on the PC. After a while I got another controller who was not compatible with Djay and the only DJ software that was offering a streaming service was VirtualDJ. The controller came with Serato. I must admit that Serato has an easier interface special for visual beatmatch. So when Serato was offering streaming services. I tried to switch to Serato. But I missed so much functionality that a switch to Serato was a no go for me. I was for me like to go back from a modern four-wheel drive car to a VW-beetle.

    I've been using Virtual DJ for the last 12 years exclusively. Over the years I've had a few problems with it but what I did not realize was that if you use it with a very cleaned out computer it runs like a dream. I tried to switch to Serato and I went right back Serato simply does not have the features Virtual DJ does. I agree about the GUI Mont Virtual DJ does have a bunch of different interfaces that you can download to change what the screen looks like. Also I don't know why you are adjusting the brake in the settings you can adjust the brake in the effects section. Anyway I'm at least glad that you reviewed it fairly personally I'm sticking with it until something comes out that blows my mind

    i appreciate you taking the time making this video i've been a virtual dj user for about 17 years it's true they do need a save feature just in case you have to format your hard drive but i have found a solution i'm not sure if anyone in the comment section has mention it or you've searched it on youtube or googled it..i'm a windows pc user it may be different on a mac computer file location wise... on virtual dj everything you do from cuing to modifying your settings and bpm is saved to your "database'... this database file for me because i use a pc is located in your virtual dj folder inside your documents folder it varies on a mac....virtual dj installs files in two locations ....in your program files folder and in your documents folder..... in your documents folder there should be a virtual dj folder...this is where your cache, history, skins , database etc... is stored... i use two computers to dj.... i save my database file to a flash drive and when i use my second computer to dj i replace the database file on the virtual dj on my second computer so i can have the same settings from my first computer... so it's very important to save your database file to a flash drive i'll say it again your database file is where your settings that you modified is stored... i hope this was hopeful to everyone that is starting out virtual dj is dope thanks C.T.B.

    I just watched both videos and I couldn't agree more with on the VDJ part. Years ago I started on VDJ and it was too much to take in and I could not get the hang of it. I started out by learning to beat match and it was not the easiest thing on VDj for some reason it always seemed like there was a lag when mixing and like you said there is just too much in the settings to know exactly what to do. Once I got to Serato I was able to learn that sofware a lot easier. With that said, it is really a shame that the Rane TTm57 works on VDJ but not serato, smh, I still have mine at home and I am able to use it on Scratch live still but it would be great to make it work on SDJ Pro. Keep up the good work and I can't wait for the next review!

    @14:40 you mentioned reformation of the hard drive because of what? I picked up a hard drive problem after closing virtual DJ, then going back to Serato. My folders became unaccessible, had to perform a chkdsk which is taking me forever to finish. Now I'm trying to figure out if others have had the same issues

  • @druthedj
    @druthedj 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You nailed it! Over and above everything you mentioned, my biggest issue with VDJ was that the was always "Too much going on" and even doing the basics became a nightmare. Serato has always won in terms of keeping their interface clean and geared towards the DJ who wants to perform without the frills and fuss. Rekordbox is unfortunately going the VDJ route in the sense that I get that it's a library management software first, but when I go into performance mode, I don't want to see all the other stuff and would like to be able to easily and quickly do the things I need for my performance like beat jump, set cues etc. Without all other stuff on screen. VDJ usually wins in terms of giving flexibility to the user to customize and tweak the software which say Serato doesn't. Each has it's pros and cons I guess...at the end of the day, I say to each their own.

    Absolutely on point for the settings. Coming from an IT background, what they have done is ported the database labels to the gui. Which is one of the worst things u can do for software design. Ususlly when I design things u talk to real world people of the software to name u r front end.

    I really do salute you for doing this much research on a DJ software that's not native to you. I never had the glitches in VDJ that you have. I do agree that navigating through the back end programming side of VDJ with all the programmer type lingo can be quite frustrating to some people. I actually love it, but I do have some background in programming, so I do see your point there. Anyway, I enjoyed your review even though I didn't agree with all of it. You have way more energy for this stuff than I do. Lol

  • @MrThomAce
    @MrThomAce 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    The HW related issues... Well. I had something similar. I thought that it is caused by VDJ until I noticed the same in Serato. But, Serato - obviously because of different I/O controller programming - reduces this effect. I noticed that the problem came from power line ripple. Since I elliminated it and reduced the possibility of rippling effect of it, I have no problem with the HW. Reinstalling? Well. On MAC, I don't know what is available, but for Windows, you have 100s of different softwares. Even if you use Windows 10 Home, you can have a OneDrive from Microsoft. That ships with the installation of Windows and with wise setup, you will avoid these situations in the future. More over! You could synchronize the settings data between two - three of your computers. Of course, this might requires some knowledge how to do, but worth the investment in my honest opinion. People using their computer without proper backup are like wall climbers without any protection, safe cables... Or in other words: Dancing on the edge of a sharp-blade. Sh*t can happen any time since Murphey's Law is with us. I'm using VDJ since ~18 years ago (I don't really remember the exact date when I bought the Atomix 1.0 and I already lost the media and license for it, but does not matter.) and in the middle of a party of a new-years eve, my PC went crazy then everything collapsed and the pc got frozen. Quickly turned out that one of the memory cards just had connectivity issue. See? Anything could happen. As we - IT experts - always saying, there are three most important things we (or we must) have in our digital life: Backup, backup and backup.

    I've never used a TR 808 Drum Machine before. It would be the epitome of arrogance for me to go buy one, work on it for a couple of weeks, then post a video on TH-cam giving my assessment of how good or bad the TR 808 is in relation to the Maschine Mikro M2 that I own. I have used VDJ for over two years and I still haven't learned all of its features! I also use Serato. Neither is "better than" the other because they are different types of software, made by different companies, that appeal to different types of DJ's. It wasn't until I stopped trying to figure out which one is "better" that I finally found my niche in DJing; I found the music that really speaks to me, and the software that would allow me to express myself with the most clarity. DJing is telling a story through music, telling your story. It's always been that way. Use whatever software allows you to tell your story with the most clarity.

      Rodney Harris I used VDJ every day since January. I would hardly call that a couple of weeks. I know how good or bad it is because I used it. Analysis is kind of a strong suit of mine. Just because you don’t know all the things it can do does not mean someone else can’t learn more in a shorter amount of time. By the way, did you watch the first video?

  • @virtualjd6824
    @virtualjd6824 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm a longtime user of VDJ and also a tech head and industrial programmer, so the backend suits me perfectly, but I can see how a more gui-based backend could provide a better experience for people who are just starting out with VDJ or who aren't that tech-savvy and just want to get up and running to mix.
    I started off with version 5, which was much simpler, so I think that helped me get to grips with the program.
    I also agree with the idea of keeping it simple and letting users discover the added features and automation instead of it being on by default upon installation.
    The sound engine in VDJ 8 (2018) was completely rewritten from version 7, and I can't fault it for what I use it for.
    A fair and balanced review.

    Interesting hearing your thoughts. I stumbled on your videos because I'm curious as a very long time virtual dj user, I was using it back when it was partnered with Ejay mix Station. I wanted to know if switching to serato would be a good idea. I'm wonder if your critiques are because you're used to a particular way of doing things. I haven't had any issue with the settings layout or the gui. But as mentioned above. I've grown with VDJ as it's developed over the years, so everything it does seems natural to me. Maybe if I tried serato I would have the same issues you have with VDJ. 🤔

I have a DDJ SX3 and I kept seeing this attitude that Djay was somehow a toy or not taken seriously, that made me keep trying to use Serato and it's fine but I just like Djay better. I can hop on Serato and gig with it at a moments notice and keep my entire collection maintained on both platforms but I just dig Djay more.

    Hi I have used a lot os software, and atomic that was before the virtual dj came out. It has it moments. Great review. One thing with it is the pitch control that yes if one song is playing if the bpm of the other loaded is way too slow or too fast it will throw off the pitch and you have to move the pitch control to get it working on the controller. I'm using a numark mixtrak platinum. And I do agree the price for for the one controller is a little high as I'm no professional and just love music.

    This comprehensive and objective look at the software is very refreshing in a sea of bias and regurgitated rhetoric. Definitely appreciate the time taken to actually understand the software before discussing it. As a long time user of VDJ, I can't agree with you more. I'm currently testing out rekordbox since it came with my 1000. The interface, effects and sample qualities are definitely a step up. Post fade effects are a godsend! If there's a way to get to them in VDJ, I've yet to find it. Anyway, love your work sir. I hope the VDJ developers pay attention to this.

    Definitely have to agree with the fact that it does take time to get use to using vdj but I still love it over all others. I have record box, serato and engine prime, engine prime not really being a DJ software more like a database for your music and it needs alot of help. But what makes serato a plus for you is what turned me off to it. I feel like they are price gouging. Constantly have to pay for this or that on serato. With vdj it's all there for one price weather you use it or not. Is serato simpler to use? Yes most definitely but it's just not fun for me. Been djing for going on 40 years now and I need alot to keep me interested and vdj definitely keeps me interested with the level of customization it reminds me of the days when we literally had to design our equipment to do what we needed. Can't tell you how many speakers I rebuilt or mixers, I made because the equipment was just not made for djing. Taking video hardware and turning it in to something cool and unique. This is what vdj brings to the table. I mean how many people remember when they figured out they can make their 1200s play backwards. I remember doing it in a set and the crowd exploded like holy shit. This is what vdj can do for you, you might discover something nobody else has and be able to bring it to a set. What I'm saying is vdj gives you the ability to be innovative again. I mean there but so many scratches and mixes but somebody come up with something new again. Anyway I did enjoy your review, like to see what you say about recordbox.

    Great Review, I actually learned something from watching this, i've used VDJ ever since it was Atomix MP3, it's really changed and progressed so much. Since version 8 its very much GUI garbled, but one your used to it., it all makes sense. Question of preference. Love the idea of cloud settings backup, gonna suggest this in the forums. a note about audio quality. its wise to bear in mind the resources the video aspect takes away from any system. Audio engine is much better then VDJ Version 7. it wont be long before the audio engine is on par, especially with constant auto updates.

    Hi Loved your review I just have one question regarding video djing. A lot of people say vdj is awesome way better then serato in terms of video which Serato havent updated much at all to be honest and i am from auckland new zealand where the serato guys have listened to us local small time djs in live q&a and by the sounds of it Just isnt high on their list of priorities which when u think about it bigger picture so many companies bringing so many products out All to be serato certafied takes up a lot of their time and to me and A lot of serato users if u are serious about video u get mix emergency which if Vdj is close to mix emergency please let me know and with that being said why would serato put more time into video when mix emergency is such a great product.And once again thanks

    I started with Virtual DJ with the sb-2 never used Serato came right from Vinyl... Took some time to get used to... But I'mma tell you the truth . I agree with everything you say and I'm telling you the deal breaker is those settings when I seen you pull that menu up I got fatigue LOL the only reason why I made the switch to Serato is because I upgraded my set up... funny story is I try to download Serato DJ Pro instead of the light version or whatever it was at that time and it didn't register to my controller and that's what made me go to Virtual DJ because I used to use it without a controller... And let me go ahead and it say this much also... I felt that Serato sting and even atomix 4 a t-shirt... For purchase here.. The reply was for me to copy the logo and get the shirt made myself

They don't even work the way they would work on Windows. And edge-sizing doesn't work. It took me a long time to figure out how to get out of full-screen. And if the computer hangs in Virtual DJ, as it did when I tried to enter the interface design mode, you're totally locked out of your computer and have to do a hard reboot; can't even get a Force Quit window up to force VDJ to give up its hung grasp on the whole computer.

That's it's job just like Android. Perhaps VDJ is not meant to be the popular simple software. Example IOS, iPhones, serato.also the issue you had can be resolved by backing up your settings. There's a mapping XML file that you can back up.

    Good review, not mentioned, never seems to get mentioned in most software reviews, is that (at least in my experience), the beatgridding on the track analysis has been the best out of vdj, serato and rekordbox. I don't think it's key analysis is good, but it seems to beatgrid my tracks (especially breakbeat/hip hop and even acapellas) better than the others. Sadly, the caveat to this is how much crappier editing beatgrids is in vdj.
    Definitely agree with the gui. One big reason I couldn't stand to use it. Just too difficult to change things.

    • @djshezy
      @djshezy 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is actually one of the crucial points why I like VDJ. The beatgridding in serato for anything other than electronically made music is AWFUL. I've only had to adjust the beatgrid on maybe 5 of my 1,000s of songs in VDJ while it seems like I need to adjust the ones in Serato almost 20-30% of the time. This is HUGE when you are playing anything other than American music because adjusting each of the songs is not a quick process. I also think that editing the beatgrids on VDJ isn't that bad but that's just a difference in opinion.

  • @st0ned2dab0ne
    @st0ned2dab0ne 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ever since i watched your first video about why you should use SDJ or Recordbox, your claims of VDJ were so far off. i almost wrote you off as some arrogant asshole right then. I looked into your playlists and seen the video of you actually giving it a shot and I can't say i was shocked. You clowned the software and got a reaction that you couldn't just ignore cause your claims were here say. Any man with a spine would have to look farther. You said you would make video and then I forgot about that until now. I am completely floored. Thank you for such an honest review. Shows me how much its all for the complete love and passion for music as a whole. Hats off to you for that.
    I have always loved music. About 5 years ago I started with wanting to learn to manipulate it as well. A friend said "try this" and I got the (looks around) cracked version of VDJ7 and a mixtrack 2 that I had to find mappers for. As you progress you always want more. So $$ got involved and paid for it and was in heaven. I have Traktor and Serato as well. As progression came further and wanted more manipulation yes ... The effects just stink after using traktor and serato. Even after learning and using those softwares I still just go back to VDJ. It is what I know. Period. Knock me down all you want for using it. I can give a fk. We can let the music speak. The product that comes out of your hardware and through those speakers and into the ears of the world is what really matters. How you get there is all choice. Since the dawn of man..... Every asshole has always had an opinion.
    Xbox vs Playstation.. its a video game. Apple vs Andriod... Its a phone.. Chevy vs Ford... Its a car. So the f what? VDJ vs Serato vs Recordbox vs Ect ect.. who cares? Its a software and the only thing that matters is how you use it to pour your heart and soul out to produce something entertaining enough to be enjoyable by others. If you are rocking the hell out of the crowd using winamp.....you won.
    Bottom line is. You were man enough to eat some of your words between start to finish. Your four videos me tioning this software as a whole were super entertaining and very educational. I cant wait for the next ones honestly because I know I will learn from them as well. I like your conclusion though i took it as this..so for the next beginner out there or dj that got clowned into switching.. check out the new version of VDJ it is kinda sick if you take the time to learn it. With a fresh mind you will need to learn anyways so why not. There will always be haters out there. As long as your mind is open... then.. smile and laugh and run the hell out of those tracks.

      @@ClevelandTerry homie, how are you going to now tell me I have an anxiety now? You are doing to much for sure. Facts over Opinion, always. Fact, what you use and what you use just like what I use is what I use, just like anyone else. Going online and giving your opinion on something is what it is but what you feel is a "problem" just not be for someone else. Especially when they probally have more experience with what you are having saod problem with. It's all about what you are comfortable with etc. Opinions are cool, just remember that they are opinions, brother.

      And people are actually that way because of how you come off, bro. I've seen a previous video and commented on you jokingly being DJ Walk On Water or some shit like that. DJs especially ones that dont have a ton of experience are impressionable and want to learn, so giving your take is just that but in the end it needs to be explained that it's more about trial and error, experience, proficiency and comfort. That end all be all approach isnt it and doesnt translate well.
