Virtual DJ Studio Review

Virtual DJ Studio is certainly a great piece of software. Many of it's features make using it very convenient and can make it diverse. The built in file manager lets you import music into VDJ without having to minimize or close to program. This is very handy for DJs and a great convenience even for the home user. One of the better features of this program is the support of 3rd party plugins. Although you can do a lot with VDJ, plugins make life that much easer. You can use plugins that isolate bass or treble or cut out the voice to leave just the instrument, there are so many possibilities. It's also easy to use for newcomers or people who are switching from some other program to VDJ. Although it can look complicated, it isn't once you play around with it for a bit. It's simple enough that newcomers can start to pick it up within a few hours but is also built well enough to handle the needs of a DJ. It works decently with just a computer and a mouse (which is more than enough for a general user) but you really need some turntables to bring out the best of this software. The only one thing I didn't like about this software was the occasional lag that stutter that occurred. Even with a computer that is beyond powerful enough to run the software, there was still some lag. This could be a potential turnoff for DJs, especially when they are live. However, it doesn't really take away from the mixing unless you are a DJ or unless you really don't like the occasional fragment-of-a-second lag.
