VDJ3 is a virtual mixing console for DJs. You can play multiple MP3 and Wave files, with tempo/pitch control for beat-matching. Plus, easily set a configurable number of 'lines', each of which has its own MP3/WAV file player, volume control, pitch/tempo control, and other options. The program includes a 10-band EQ, plugin support, integrated File Navigator, and Playlist Editor.

Virtual DJ Studio is not like all of the other DJ programs out there. While other programs limit you to two players with a Cross-Fader, Virtual DJ Studio provides you with an entire studio.

The two-deck metaphor is out-dated. There is no reason to limit yourself when your PC can easily give you so much more. Now, with Virtual DJ Studio, you can break free from this tired metaphor!

VDJ3 Screenshot Click on the image to your right to see a full-sized picture of VDJ in action. You will quickly see how VDJ is different from other DJ software. Laid out like a Mixer, each Line features a full MP3, WAV and Playlist player, with its own Volume Fader, Pitch/Tempo control, and more.

You can select how many Lines appear on VDJs interface. You can configure as many lines as will fit on your screen.

* Easy to Use (Don't be intimidated by the number of buttons you see in the picture. If you have a knack for audio equipment, you will quickly pick up on VDJs use. VDJ comes with a complete Help file, including a Getting Started guide that will have you mixing MP3s in no time!)
* File Navigator (VDJ3's File Navigator gives you a whole new way to locate your music. It functions as a file manager, displaying all supported file types along with extra information (bitrate, sample frequency, bit resolution, etc). The File Navigator lets you preview any file without having to open it. File Navigator also contains an integrated Playlist Editor, for building and managine PLS, M3U or VDJ playlist files.)
* File Navigator (File Navigator also has two File Queues, holding areas for songs you just want to keep handy. You might use one for song requests, and the other to store common popular tunes. Both File Queues remember what they contained the next time you open VDJ.)
* Improved Drag 'N Drop Support (You can drag files from the File Navigator, File Queue, or any other Windows program (such as Windows Exporer or your Desktop). You can also drag files from any line in VDJ to another line, or into the File Queue (or even to other programs). VDJ3 gives you limitless possibilities with Drag 'N Drop, allowing you to intuitively open and manage files.)
* Headphone Support (VDJ allows you to use an extra sound card for CUEing, or Previewing, a sound file. You can use this feature to assist with beat-mixing (fading two songs together on-beat), or for simply previewing a song before playing it live.)
* Plugin Support (Plugin Manager VDJ3 now offers Plugin support. Third parties can contribute audio processing plugins that can be used within VDJ3's Plugin Manager. VDJ3 comes with a few Plugins as well, including a Compressor/Limiter, a Low-Pass Filter, and Stereo Expansion.)

VDJ-cheap alternative to vinyl=fast cash

By Swedenland on Thu, 2009-05-07 23:28
Pros: Ease of use, extensive help section for the beginner but can also accomodate the advanced. Cheap alternative to vinyl. Very easy to begin earning money with at parties!
Cons: Any virtual DJ software can only get you so far. The overall layout of the program is not very pretty. At first glance it may look intimidating and could cause you to back off if your not dedicated to music.
First of all to achieve any fame as a DJ you should probably be looking at vinyl and discs which go for at least $600 a piece but for a program of this quality with its current price it is a deal....

A good idea

By krcoakland on Sat, 2009-05-02 15:43
Pros: Self explanatory interface, awesome effects in real-time, quick beat syncing, in-window search feature, reasonably priced
Cons: Only two track decks, limited track editing capabilities
Where to start with this program? OK, well as far as the idea goes, pure brilliance. The problem with this program is that although it allows the user to splice, alter, and work two tracks together...

Review for Virtual Dj

By younghed on Sun, 2009-04-26 17:40
Pros: Best advantage is Beat match or sync. This has been introduced to the sofware side of djing which some people argue takes the main away the main aspect of djing. There are different varietys of effects. Doesn't take up to much ram.
Cons: Limited to two decks. Limited format inputs.
Virtual Dj is a mixing tool/software available for Mac and Pc whic is helpful. This software I recommend for Djs or musicians who are in the begining process of mixing, but to contradict there are...

Nothing special...Or special for beginners only?

By Dimoha on Tue, 2009-03-24 15:54
Pros: Very easy to use, easy to understand
Cons: The interface itself looks like people had lack of time when were doing the programm or simply didn't want to invest it to make it look nice. I had some lugs with graphics on this software when minimizing and maximizing. Sometimes while maximizing some fields in the programm were blank for few seconds (not a problem with my PC, the only programm that is actually acting so on my PC) That's not a huge disaster of course but ruins an impression about the programm. Doesn't seem to be really professional
The first impression after opening the programm was :" Why is it so ugly?" The interface is dark grey and althought you can change skin color to the white (which is even worst) that ruins the first...

Doesn't Strike a Chord

By flyingpenguin on Sat, 2008-12-13 02:43
Pros: Good quality sound, potentially great fun
Cons: Looks horrible, lacking addictive factor which this sort of program should have. Not as much fun as it could be.
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...
