I'm a massive tech fan. I own a tech startup and I applaud almost all innovation but I can't think of any world where djing is better without being able to see the room.
Djing is a b-r-o-a-d church. If the "room" is a nondescript bedroom, then zoning out (especially in a shared VR world) with decks is gonna be REALLY appealing.
@@digitaldjtips I get that. Just because I can't see a world where it's better doesn't mean others cant. I should have said there's no uses for it for me that would work.
Great review, I picked this up and played with it for a few hours. It's an exceptional version 1.0 and I really hope we get all those future features and improvements you mentioned, those things will take this to the next level. Community features would be absolutely amazing and I'd love anything that supports a listening party because that has been my VR dream for years now.
I'm glad you went and actually tried it before feeding back, Douglas. And as we say, and as you agree, these extra features, which are no doubt coming, will make it so much better.
I also tried it with 0 experience in djing and I have to say, it's really fun. However, without them adding anything community asap, I do not think its gonna last.
Really impressive how this is coming together. I'm excited about the expressiveness you might be able to get using your hands and the amazing potential of custom UI's for how you want to organize your own decks and controls. Totally seeing the streaming thing as well!
DJing in VR is a great way to access and learn equipment you might not be able to otherwise. In TribeXR, I’ve been able to use the virtual equivalent of thousands of dollars’ worth of Pioneer DJ gear that I wouldn’t have easily had the chance to experience otherwise. Highly recommended! I look forward to giving this one a try as well especially due to the hand tracking. However the ability to share the experience with others is a crucial element. Definitely one to follow! :)
I appreciate the concept of avoiding the need for real-life elements; however, for me, the connection to real-world hardware remains essential and will continue to be so. I can see the potential for this approach in future generations, though. I understand you can have a hybrid experience but that's about it for me.
Excited to try the hand tracking features. I've been DJing in VR with TribeXR for years and love it! This looks like it has some cool features to explore. When it comes to VR/AR musical instruments, the more, the better! They can not only often recreate existing instruments convincingly but also open the door for more experimental creations. I personally want to control both the music and have a high degree of interactive influence over the visuals as well.
For us they've "got it right" for this platform, for the mainstream, in a way that Tribe XR - forward-looking and excellent in its own right that it was - didn't quite manage.
Yes and no. Tribe maintains a license with Pioneer and it emulates real club gear. I literally learned Pioneer CDJs and DJMs with Tribe. Algoriddim is going the other way, taking advantage of the VR platform with larger virtual controls. Algoriddim looks like it has better ergonomics for VR controls whereas Tribe will prepare you play in the real world.
Great review Phil, and very exciting gear. I can't help but think this is a little weird when performing in front of crowds, but for livestreaming DJ sets it's brilliant. There's also the Tribe XR CDJ emulation which is a great way for anyone on a budget to hone their "club standard" skills at home. I love the idea of hybrid mode. If Tribe XR do somthing like that it would be great, because people could for example buy the hardware mixer and use virtual decks, then maybe add a real deck later when they can afford it, and so on. It's exciting times to be around.
Some interesting ideas so it will be good to see what the tribe crew come up with next because I think that system has not really changed much for awhile
Definitely would recommend "Tribe XR" for DJing in VR. They have so many more options then just DJing like this. From IRL Mixers, Players, Controlers they even offer a Synth and a Drum Machine!
Great review! I think once the communal aspects are introduced this would be a great way of introducing DJs to the “live” environment. The only thing I’m not sure about is whether I would want to have that headset on for a couple of hours (weight/comfort etc).🔥🔥🔥
i think what's most appealing to me would just be the vr crate. just bending down and sifting through the box but it's my smart crate? i like that 😂 ok wait djing in space seems pretty sweet as well
@@Nokka10 who cares it´s about the music, the end product, the release, the track, the people dance. Who tf cares how it made. Im not saying that´s the method u need to do, because creating things yourselfs, you have much more controll and more fun, also with DJing, same for me, doing it by ear beatmatching, gives a adrealine kick, but I still don´t really care if someone is using Sync. It´s on his or her own risk lol. If u at a club, venue or festival and the Sync is broken, or just missing on the deck, you are fkt.
I've used Virture glasses to put Serato on a virtual display and I can see gesturing being a thing, but I can't see VR is going to work unless, as you suggest, you have the audience in VR with you, which would be really cool and could bring people together worldwide. Could be a virtual multi-room club, beach, basement, whatever. A meld with SecondLife perhaps? I guess it could also have a role in tutoring.
Nice one ! Got some questions : 1-No spotify ? 2-How do you connect that to an External speaker and use headphones at the same time to monitor the other deck ?
@@digitaldjtips Regarding the 2 Point i was trying to use the VR app so i would not have to purchase a controler. I mean i have one from Hercules - DJ Console RMX But its so hold tthat i doubt that the Program detects it and not only that but working in mixed reality with oculus meta quest 2 its not ideal ( quest 2 only have low quality black and white cameras pass through )
This is what I want to know also.... the solution of buy a controller renders the whole thing pointless to me, what am I getting it for, flashy game graphics? I want to save a grand on a controller really, haha
just bought it, does not beat the real thing but a lot of fun and i can connect my apple music, not sue it will work with my pioneer gear but i do have Hercules mini bluetooth controller kicking around which might be cool with it
What would be actually a great use of this is training to dj in a club. Add darkness, smoke, flashing lights, clubbers trying to talk to you, girls annoying you by asking you to look after thier coat, drunk bloke spilling his pint on the dexks etc, and you have to battle though it. Good preparation!
This would be genuinely exciting and immersive to learn DJing. How awesome would it be to use passthrough to play your own controller whilst looking over Phil's shoulder and being taught! That's a DDJTips lesson we need!
Best review I've seen so far. Do you think these upgrades will be added to this version of the App or would it be better to wait for the next iteration of it? I would love to have the functionality to stream with it, I've tried that with Tribe but I didn't enjoy it as much. It was still a very complicated experience to get everything set up to have chat up and all, it was only good for recording. This seems much more interesting to me, but I still have doubts.
I think they'll add them to this version of the app. It's not really very difficult to add the streaming stuff. As far as having other people actually in VR with you - who knows, that's a little bit more complicated.
@@digitaldjtips Ended up buying the app and a controller. What sort of cable did you use? My controller has a USB B port, so i tried using a USB A to C converter and 2 wires, and my Quest 3 won't recognize anything plugged into it unfortunately. I've tried contacting Algoriddm support and via twitter and got no reply so far.
Yoo, I work with Meta and other big tech including Roblox. I also happened to just get into DJing. I do a lot of mixed reality projects. Ah yeah you can probably see my grin!
One additional cool thing with VR is going clubbing e.g. in VRChat. Then there are real people in the (virtual) club. Still even then I would prefer to play with normal equipment and stream this in the virtual club. But it is a cool thing if people want to start DJing. I would also recommend getting the normal Quest3 and not the Quest3s. Quest3 has better lenses and also features a 3.5mm headphone output which will result in much better sound quality. But VR is in general really great and I'm confused how this is not raising at it should be. It is not only single player gaming it is more the multiplayer things where you can meet friends like they are in same room even if they are living far away. Recommendation would be a very good minigolf game called Walkabout Minigolf... playing this with friends like 90% of the time using VR 🤣
Mr. Phil what a great piece of software Djay algorithm is! It's been my favorite software forever allowing me not only to use a computer but my iPhone and iPad as well, I have a question sir. For those of us who have limited mobility can you use a mouse with this set up? Because I'm not too good at moving my arms around But I can't operate a mouse. Thank you very much
Technology when used PRUDENTLY, has amazing "MENTAL" 💪rewards. The ability to "DISCONNECT" from the real world to relieve stress, all the while being in a SAFE and familiar musical environment, is priceless😁 Just remember to reconnect to be among the living and most importantly, remain grounded✌ Now as far as using in a LIVE club setting I do have reservations, as that is meant for use to engage with your audience via the lens of your 👀, not a head set.
When using my dj controller with this, it gave an option to have the sound come out of the headset. When choosing that option, the audio doesn’t come out. Only through the controller’s master out. What am I missing?
If you could build guest avatars and have AI “program” their musical preferences and you could simulate live DJing to maybe test out transitions or playlists that would be awesome
@digitaldjtips Remember when controllers were seen as toys? And you were not a "real dj" unless you learned on vinyl? Still a few of those around but for the most part we have embraced the digital. I think most veteran djs will have a hard time accepting this outright. Eventually though
@@digitaldjtips Did you not understand me? or don't you want to understand me?"future technology" was sarcasm It even seems ridiculous to me to be handling my turntables with these glasses on!
I'm so behind I just went Digital, and bought a Flex 4. So now we're talking vr? I don't know if the decks are real with or audio or what lol. I think I'll go back to analogue and 12 inch vinyl!!
Don't be overwhelmed - stick with your DDJ-FLX4 and learn the ropes. This will be waiting when you're ready, and no doubt it'll be much better by then as well.
Yes, exactly. It's interesting that you hear people saying, "I don't want to cut off from the world and this is stupid," not realising that it's not all about them.
Hello Mr. Phil! I entered Djay website to check compatibility, as far as I understood it works only within android compatible devices, Am I right? Would love to see compatibility within the LC 6000
Yes you can, you can add it via a wire from your laptop (like you used to put music onto iPods back in the day), or if you use Apple Music, it is more elegant to do it that way via the Music app.
Interesting idea but I am not convinced it's responsive enough. I sold my quest 3 as I was getting eye strain from it and the battery wouldn't really last long if it's having to do all that.
@@digitaldjtips tom from tribe here. curious as to how you think it's different? The touch interface? simpler decks? the usb/midi connection to decks (That kind of feedback is genuinely useful for us as we continue to improve Tribe!)
@@tomimpallomeni The hand tracking looks pretty awesome but I seriously doubt that it could handle small controls like buttons, knobs and sliders very well(yet). But being able to pass your hand through a zone like in the video and have it effect something looks pretty neat. Tribe always has me thinking of how other more traditional instruments might work in VR as well. Love you guys! Dreamed of DJing in VR for 20+ years before TribeXR came along! 🥰🙌🎶
great - another reason for our kids to isolate more and live in fantasy land. i love tech and all but some if it is not good for the younger generations. for those of us that actually know how to talk and interact with a real human this is a cool escape. Not sure where I stand on this.
@digitaldjtips nah, thanks. I've been using it for a couple of years now. It's awesome for parties and things where I don't have my proper decks. Just turn up with my headset and cast to the TV sound system. Amazing, tbf
I just see this as an awesome learning tool. Cheaper way to have the gear to allow a person to get mixing and practicing. This can only be a good thing! Even get me back in to djing after a 15 year hiatus!
Imagine if clubs like Ministry supplied a live stream and you could ‘be the DJ’. Granted the crowd wouldn’t be screaming at the right time, but it would still offer a good vibe for those bedroom DJ’s.
I'm a huge tech fan, but I'll definitely give this a miss. This is like driving a Lamborghini and then jumping into a Tesla. Losing the whole tactile experience throws everything about REAL DJ'ing (Like James Hype would say) out the window. Not to be negative or to discredit the concept, but I really cant see this taking off. It seems pretty disorientated and disconnected from a real crowd engaging experience. Lets be honest . . . Its going to take a whole lot of DJ's a whole lot of time to properly make the transition from their existing gear . . . that they've paid a pretty penny for . . .to this kind of artificial experience. Cant see it happening. Maybe for a much younger generation that don't know any better...But 100% kudos to the Iron Man experience...
That’s not who this is aimed at this is aimed at people who are just getting started or who want a bit of fun and I don’t think anything is wrong with that
One the flip side I have watched those emerge from these artificial experiences equipped with the skills to run high-end equipment that they have never actually touched.
If you tried this software, you'd realise, I guess, that stems is a stretch too far at this point. It's tricky enough getting used to what they have put in it. I won't worry too much about it myself.
Yeah, super cool but a big pass from me. Put my DJ booth in the middle of the dance floor so they’re bumping up against the booth and I can feel the crowd and ride their vibe. That’s why I DJ. Virtual DJing heads in the completely opposite direction. I already feel a bit disconnected with in-ear monitors, don’t need to strap this thing on my head. The tech is amazing, but the hype is over the top - it’s got a heavy dose of gaslighting and techno-wankery.
Imagine a huge crowd that responds to your set and even to whatever is said on the mic, including vocal performances. It’s already an overused term but AI will make all of that possible.

The pass through cutout on the Quest 2 is going to look nasty.
It's all inferior on the Quest 2, to be expected - 3/3S/Pro are better
Phil, is it possible to record/capture a DJ set with this and then post it to socials afterwards? Does it work with music videos too?
I didnt see any videos. There is a record option however that saves on your quest (cant say anythign about quality as I didnt use it yet, but it does)

What a great idea that is
So I'm thinking about is how big/complex the coding for the programme running it and who codes!
They're a pretty slick operation of about 30 people, so they've got some decent coding talent.

I don't know if the decks are real with or audio or what lol. I think I'll go back to analogue and 12 inch vinyl!!
Don't be overwhelmed - stick with your DDJ-FLX4 and learn the ropes. This will be waiting when you're ready, and no doubt it'll be much better by then as well.
as a dj who streams. would i be able to live stream my sets with it?
you can currently with a bit of work, we are hoping/expecting that they make this easier though
Where is the discount for owning djay pro?
A discount on $20? That ain't gonna happen.
For all the introverts out there, the future might just be bright after all! 😆
Yes, exactly. It's interesting that you hear people saying, "I don't want to cut off from the world and this is stupid," not realising that it's not all about them.
Not my thing, but the tech loving people out there will love it I'm sure.👍
It’s definitely not for everyone you’re right
Once it is good enough, we can have DJ battles from home and live stream
Yes, it's pretty close I'd say
Love this idea, but unfortunately my DDJ-1000 is not supported
No, they've only done 40 devices so many will be missed. You should try it without DJ hardware though - I think that's the main use case frankly.
But can it separate stems? :p
14:15 🤣
Hello Mr. Phil! I entered Djay website to check compatibility, as far as I understood it works only within android compatible devices, Am I right? Would love to see compatibility within the LC 6000
I’m not sure what you’re saying. This is a virtual reality headset. You don’t use it with anything if you don’t want to.
Awesome! I can play in my PJ's to a fake music festival audience without leaving my house!
You can indeed
How can this be used for TikTok live streaming as a dj
Several ways, but none of them perfect at the moment. We're hoping live streaming gets added very soon, as talked about in the video.
@digitaldjtips thank you
I’m an Apple Music subscriber and noticed it doesn’t pull my playlists from Apple Music, just my local playlists that I’ve created…
Oh, that’s interesting. We’ve not had time to check that yet. We’ll have a look next time we have it all working.
Is this available for Pico headsets? They use same hardware as Meta headsets so should be possible.
Not sure
Can you load your own local music files with out streaming from sites and has it got video and audio ouputs
Whoops ignore my comments got excited and didn't watch the whole video watching in full now 😅
No problem Tony!
Can you use your music library for this?
Yes you can, you can add it via a wire from your laptop (like you used to put music onto iPods back in the day), or if you use Apple Music, it is more elegant to do it that way via the Music app.
@digitaldjtips thank you! Going to give this a try!
is there any way to get my spotify into it?
No, you can't get Spotify on any DJ software on any platform, sadly.
Dance audience can stay at home and dance overthere; just with VR device and connection to internet.
It’s one possibility
very exciting they hit it out of the park
Yes, it isn't perfect but they did indeed hit it out of the park for a v1.0
If this was djay's big news, what a popcorn fart
Can't please everyone!
How do I delete a hot cue point?
Interesting idea but I am not convinced it's responsive enough. I sold my quest 3 as I was getting eye strain from it and the battery wouldn't really last long if it's having to do all that.
It's definitely responsive enough, but you're right, the VR experience is not for everyone.
Oy, watching the VR parts of this video got me dizzy 😵💫
You should try wearing it!
It's hilarious that you sell this as the future
We're not selling anything except DJ courses. djtips.co/funding
All of the reviewers so hyped. 🤣
But it is the future of DJ-ing. Why wouldn’t it be?
@Rafal_DnB go right ahead you got it figured out.
He didn’t. You just want attention. Actually he touched on the negatives with honesty.
Can we use rekordbox too?
No
Tribe had been doing this forever.
They have, but it's totally different
@@digitaldjtips tom from tribe here. curious as to how you think it's different? The touch interface? simpler decks? the usb/midi connection to decks (That kind of feedback is genuinely useful for us as we continue to improve Tribe!)
Woot Woot! 🙌🙌🙌
@@tomimpallomeni The hand tracking looks pretty awesome but I seriously doubt that it could handle small controls like buttons, knobs and sliders very well(yet). But being able to pass your hand through a zone like in the video and have it effect something looks pretty neat. Tribe always has me thinking of how other more traditional instruments might work in VR as well.
Love you guys! Dreamed of DJing in VR for 20+ years before TribeXR came along! 🥰🙌🎶
great - another reason for our kids to isolate more and live in fantasy land. i love tech and all but some if it is not good for the younger generations. for those of us that actually know how to talk and interact with a real human this is a cool escape. Not sure where I stand on this.
Kids can have the best of everything in my view
I think you’re missing the point of such new gear. Imho it’s the other way around.
Are you aware of Pioneer's Tribe vr DJing software?
We are indeed - we speak about it both in this video and in the article. Anything in particular you want to ask?
@digitaldjtips nah, thanks. I've been using it for a couple of years now. It's awesome for parties and things where I don't have my proper decks. Just turn up with my headset and cast to the TV sound system. Amazing, tbf
I just see this as an awesome learning tool. Cheaper way to have the gear to allow a person to get mixing and practicing. This can only be a good thing!
Even get me back in to djing after a 15 year hiatus!
Couldn't agree more!
Add a silent disco and it’s lame squared.
Deilluisions of Grandeur . This isnt going change anything but the bedroom dj, lol
And what is wrong with that?
Waaat 😮
Dope just gimme the stems!
I am sure they'll come, this is a 1.0
Imagine if clubs like Ministry supplied a live stream and you could ‘be the DJ’. Granted the crowd wouldn’t be screaming at the right time, but it would still offer a good vibe for those bedroom DJ’s.
Yes, without doubt it will happen
If you say so phil 😂👍
I wonder what Qbert could do on this
Would be interesting to see!
Can you scratch on the decks? He never actually touched the record.
19:51 imagine have a gig with that thing on lol
*watches vid a bit more*
LMAOO IT´S ALREADY IS A THING?!
It is already a thing!
$300-......ya dreaming, in Australia they are $800-
Yeah, sorry, I know nothing about prices in Australia.
Cable will hold for 5ms.
Oh come on. This makes no sense... this is more a video game not dj equipment.
You should try it
There is no way you will DJ effectively with a Quest 2
Define “effectively”. This is fun!
Seems very fun but useless for working DJs
Yeah definitely not aimed at working DJs.
I'm a huge tech fan, but I'll definitely give this a miss. This is like driving a Lamborghini and then jumping into a Tesla. Losing the whole tactile experience throws everything about REAL DJ'ing (Like James Hype would say) out the window. Not to be negative or to discredit the concept, but I really cant see this taking off. It seems pretty disorientated and disconnected from a real crowd engaging experience. Lets be honest . . . Its going to take a whole lot of DJ's a whole lot of time to properly make the transition from their existing gear . . . that they've paid a pretty penny for . . .to this kind of artificial experience. Cant see it happening. Maybe for a much younger generation that don't know any better...But 100% kudos to the Iron Man experience...
That’s not who this is aimed at this is aimed at people who are just getting started or who want a bit of fun and I don’t think anything is wrong with that
One the flip side I have watched those emerge from these artificial experiences equipped with the skills to run high-end equipment that they have never actually touched.
Deciding not to do Stems cos of Quest 2 was a poor decision. Quest 2 passthrough is in black n white anyway, no one wants that...
If you tried this software, you'd realise, I guess, that stems is a stretch too far at this point. It's tricky enough getting used to what they have put in it. I won't worry too much about it myself.
No DJ will take this seriously until they add the ability to snort virtual cocaine off the table.
Virtual?
Yeah, super cool but a big pass from me.
Put my DJ booth in the middle of the dance floor so they’re bumping up against the booth and I can feel the crowd and ride their vibe. That’s why I DJ.
Virtual DJing heads in the completely opposite direction. I already feel a bit disconnected with in-ear monitors, don’t need to strap this thing on my head. The tech is amazing, but the hype is over the top - it’s got a heavy dose of gaslighting and techno-wankery.
Lots of ways to DJ nowadays of course, it’s not an either/or
Imagine a huge crowd that responds to your set and even to whatever is said on the mic, including vocal performances. It’s already an overused term but AI will make all of that possible.
You're right - it will, and it'll be a great tool for practising, for instance.
