YO !

Thot I would share this with all of ya!

It has been over twenty years since I DJ'd back in the days of turntables, mixers, amps, etc AND NO SOFTWARE OF ANY KIND !LOL

The Dark Ages of DJ's.

THEN

Today I leapt into the 21'st century after discovering Virtual DJ

OMFG!


I'm speechless!

This is the coolest piece of software I have ever laid my hands on!

Price is right and is very easy to use.

I still have some issues in loading music but will get them figured out!

NOW THAT'S THE ENTHUSIASM WE LIKE TO SEE...

If you have any questions about the music loading, dont hesitate to ask. Yes, you'll be a pain the a$$ but we'll answer them anyway.
 
Loading probs probably down to your Max Load setting in the config section.

How long are the tracks ur are trying to download?

The more you play with it the more ur enjoy it.

Oh and that applies to VDJ too.

good to hear you liked it ;) I too played at traditional dj hardware before, and just love VDJ now...

Btw, you can even use traditional hardware (turntables/cd players) to control VDJ, by using a special timecode vinyl/CD ;)
or one of the large numbers of pro midi dj controllers out there

 
Now that you mentioned time coded, I always have a doubt:

How long is the track of the time code? I notice that there is a track to download, but whats the bennefit to burn it several times in one disc?
What happends if the file (video or mp3) are much longer than the code track?
Any comments of basic time code will be welcome.
thanks.
 
timecode have several modes of operations, but to make it easy, I'll divide it in two..

Absolute mode : VDJ will do ABSOLUTELY what the CD/turnbable does, including if record (timecode) runs out, it will stop. Everything is run exactly like if it was a real vinyl/cd, hence software aids such as loop, pitch and more, are disabled

Smart/Relative mode : VDJ will continue to play, even if timecode runs out, and software features will (if used) override timecode, or aid timecode use, ranging from loops in software, to pitch even

So you can choose ;)

Timecode is btw, 12 minutes long, should do it for most songs, if you play any song longer than 5-7 mins, you get at bored dancefloor..hehe
 
yes i love this software too, i completely agree, infact im in love with vdj!! =D CANT WAIT UNTIL I GET PRO!!
 
Nice to hear such enthusiasm...VDJ can be a lot of fun!
 
Thanks Norway, no more doubts left.

Atch!

Well, it was a long time for me to answer. I made another post about my absence in General Forums and finally found this post again.

I will avoid being a pain in the a$$ LOL!

Technology may have made some great advances during my AHEM absence but I am a fast learner. The one thing I will do IS READ THE FORUMS FIRST! lol

I may have questions about the software at some points but considering how well written the user guides are I doubt it!

The more I use VDJ and explore it's features the more mind boggled I am!

They say you can't teach an old Dog new tricks,

Bow WOW W O W !

Well this Dog has gone from simple, sit, shake, roll over commands to discussions on wave recording formats, wave forms, auto this and auto that and so on! II am currently assimilating and collating all this raw data and am still mind boggled and amazed at all the possibilities

And yes questions rise, especially in what I might contribute to your forums.

I like having been absent from all this for 20 or so years instead of having advanced with it as the years rolled by. Being a living anachronism, time capsule, blast from the past, Rip Wan Winkle, etc. I am able to view this software in a very unique way.

I'm glad I missed out on the vinyl to CD. I think CD's have their use especially in sound reproduction but I believe that digital is the way of the future, though there will always be a place for CD's and Vinyl at the mixing station.

The period I am talking about is before digital music when folks were making the transition with Vinyl and CD's.

Lets face it CD's presented a host of issues.

Then the advent of digital music, GHASTLY, FRIGHTENING! in the beginning, a Pandora's box of hideous sounds that some wanted to put the lid back on.

Then the explosion of software in sound reproduction and an incredible bridge was created between all of these forms and made them even more workable together.

Now I know some will argue one or the other. Similar arguments occurred many years ago when synthetic music came out.

Many of the orchestras and their unions were in an uproar thinking the musicians would all loose their jobs to synthetic music. Well, LOL we all know the rest of the story.

The end result is a reasonably happy marriage between the two as these synthetic sounds were integrated with other forms of music and the results were even better MUSIC in all categories!

And that is one of my points it's not the vehicle that we use to create music but how we use what is available to us to create. It is keeping an open mind always to P O S S I B I L I T I E S!

Keep an open mind always!

For any one to strictly limit themselves to one form or another as in vinyl only, CD's only etc, the DJ is only limiting themselves and will miss out on the possibility of new ways to express music.

Example, there is some music I have on vinyl that is difficult to mix vinyl to vinyl or CD to CD, yet if I am playing one in Digital format I am able to mix some music that was almost impossible before.

And I have only just begun exploring.

Thanks for reading!
