And there is also a sampler and you can just few one sample to trigger as they you have a go through that you like to use all the time just leave it on top or you can go the sample tab and you can load up even more samples and just to give you an example there is a siren, that’s one sample. As far as looping we have the auto-loop functions which you can also bring down to really fast speeds and there is also manual looping where you set in and out points on the fly like so. There is also a keylock so if you want to change the tempo but the not the pitch you have that as well. So this is really good if you’re trying to mix and key and get different tracks to lock in. And a feature that I really like on Virtual DJ is that you can control adjust the key independent of the tempo. Effects are here and you can select from a variety of effects and I will engage it by clicking on it and there are two parameter controls and which change depending on the effect that we are using and to turn it off click on it again.

Up here you can jump to different parts and the track is bringing it to the beginning, adjust control is over here, pitch bend. Right here I have a little folder with couple of demo tracks today and you can load it just by dragging it onto the track and let’s just take a listen. So what’s cool about Virtual DJ is that it reads crates from other software including iTunes, Serato and Traktor so it’s a ready to go if you are trying to migrate from different DJ software. So the browser is where you can arrange your tracks and find your tracks to load onto your decks. So moving on we see down below we have four tabs one for the browser, sampler, effects and the record function. And if we look a little closer at the actual deck itself you will see that you have the turntable with the transport functions, sync functions, pitch control and there is also a section for effects, the filter sampler, the loop section and yes some hot keys up here. So, as you look at the main screen, you will see the traditional two deck layout, and in the middle we have our mixer with 3-band EQ as well as volume for each side, and a cross fader.

For those who are audio impaired, here’s a full text transcript of the lesson:Īlright in this tutorial we are going to go over Virtual DJ, give you a quick overview of the layouts and some of the setup functions and just the overall features that this really impressive and someone underrated software for DJ’ing can do.
