Virtual DJ Studio Review

You are the music while the music lasts. ~T.S. Eliot

The ultimate question is: how long will the music last?
In this case, sadly, I fear not very long. From the first opening of the program, it looks primative. In fact it looks so ugly that if the Cat found it lying in the sand, it would probably bury it. The software makes one reminisce about the days of Windows 95 and before. This, naturally results in a sense of foreboding which does not really dissappear until the beats start pumping.
When you get a number of tracks on, and finally start making noise, you have to fiddle around with buttons for quite a while before actually beginning to get to grips with the program. It is at this point that you realise you can actually have quite a bit of fun meddling with all the frequencies,tempo's and volume.
Eventually, confusion sets in as to who the software producers are actually targetting: professional DJ's or the 'Average Joe' (sorry, just thought I might sneak that one in). As you have, inevitably, guessed, I fit into the second category.
Sadly, I found the novelty of the whole process quickly wore off quite quickly, and I became distracted by something of more insterest. Unfortunately, I do not feel instpired to return to this program. I know for a fact that there are far better looking (by this I mean sleaker, smoother, more colorful and whatever else makes something attractive) pieces of software in the same field. In fact, I believe that it is a growing industry in this current time. However, if you ever plan to strike a level similar to Tiesto, I'd stick to the traditional set of disks and vinyls. If your not an aspiring pro and like the idea, consider a different piece of software.
