I've had Virtual DJ for ages and I literally didn't know a thing about counting beats but what you have told me in the first 7 minutes has literally changed my ability to DJ, you are a legend my friend!
Thank you DVF for this "beginning level" mixer video. People should appreciate anyone trying to help others. As a beginner to the mixing world on a "cancer budget" I am going to give this application a try. Virtual DJ seems like a great starting point for beginners, hobbyists, and music enthusiasts. Of course you can't beat the free price!
Thanks for the video. Didn't understand until watching it my third time through. Take notes people. But more importantly actually practice doing it yourself. Being great at something takes time and hard work. It can be frustrating at times. If making it was easy then everyone would be at the top. Thats not the case however. Keep your dreams a float and most importantly.......JUST DO ITTTTTT
lol people complaining about the songs that u use but they're on a beginner mixing tutorial... lol snobs. thanks bro, coming from a beginning standpoint, I definitely understand what I'm doing a little more now and those processes should be easier on my controller. thanks again yo
Bro you made my life easier XD I used to sing the song in my head to beatmatch and sync the songs, which worked well, but now you gave me an example of what I do in the program xD much thanks
you experience the problem of the track not loading because it is not a legitimate copy. I used to get the same thing when using a Friends music libary. Purchase your music if you can. You'll find cue points and tracks load perfectly and the quality of the tracks is bettter as well. Happy Mixing.
I've just got this software to make an old skool playlist and was clueless on how to mix the tracks nicely......this tutorial is great for beginners and successfully helped me understand how to do it....thank you!
when you have the problem with Nicky Romero - Toulouse at the beginning of the video, easiest thing to do to sort it, is right click it in the search bit in the middle & Analyze in Techno / house or Other Music which you can find in the BPM, click the Analyze & it should sort it out.
I just did a beautiful 3 song mix after this tutorial! Thank you so much it was beautiful! Heartbeat by Victone (PIXL Remix) to the drop of Rock n' Roll with you (Skrillex) and back to Hearbeat with levels coming in. Not like the song choice mattered but it worked!
Why Mac computers have problem to updater or recognize the latest iTumes library for VirtualDJ 8 since Apple has their own djay Pro? Is Apple's jay Pro competing with VirtualDJ software?
+Admir Salihagic You need a soundcard which has that feature on it, standard pc soundcards wont do it. But if you by a dj controller like the mixtrack pro or pioneer ddj then they have this feature built into them
You can purchase a usb sound card that's about the size of a thumb drive for $10 on eBay and it works fine I've used one for a live performance when i needed a backup for my Mixtrack
Jay maniA I'm a DJ and I' good at it as far as my knowledge goes, but my mixing skills on timeing could use a little work, but other than that ask me questions and I'll answer.
BigVadik Just 4 questions then: 1. What kind of music is popular in clubs? Is future bass/chill trap suitable? 2. How do you deal with the pressure of not messing up? 3. When transitioning into different genres (e.g. dubstep into hiphop) does it work well? receive positive vibe? 4. How do you read a crowd? I get the idea, don't think I could do it myself. Can the skill be learned? Thanks
Brian Yang 1. Depends on the club, they usually tell you ahead of time. 2. First practice mixing don't even worry about effects, just master beatmatching and smoothly transitioning songs together. Once you have mixing down to where you don't even think about it, then you are ready for your first gig. You learn effects, and advanced mixing techniques as you practice, and learn. 3. It might work if the dubstep has vocals from a hiphop song, then you could mix it in to sound good. 4. Your music has to flow, if your crowd is energized play 128-160 bpm music, if you want to calm it down a bit, slowly go down on BPM as you mix, just make sure it flows, also make sure you have a large playlist of different genres and songs you can choose from, Pop music is usually good to have as people are expecting to hear popular songs that have been on the radio.
I love it have been using it for years!! Records for free and sent it straight to the smartphone from laptop to play out and about as well as in the car via bluetooth.
hey what's up man I just want to know if I have virtual DJ home free not 8 but 7 and do I get to keep it as long as I want if not can you give me advice for some more DJ stations. thanks
the tab button on your computer changes between the 'focus track'. So, whatever track is highlighted on the music waves at the top is the one that will respond to p and s. the space bar also lets you play and pause
slight correction: the lowercase "m" in the name of a key means MINOR, so those songs (if they're tagged correctly) are in F minor and F# minor. for major keys we just use the letter name (and a sharp or flat sign).
virtual dj home free setup wizad ended prematurely because of an a error your system has not to been modified to install this program at a letter time run setup wizad again.click the finish butten to exit the setup wizad Please help me 😐
So much hatin in these comments damn....Let the dude do his thing if you don't like it atleast give some advice that is useful rather then just thinking you're all so smart and just saying you suck. DigitalVideoFX do your thing man don't let the haters get to you
i have a question, since nobody has been able to give me an answer at all, what if i wanna make a long set with my songs and obviously mixing them and all that but do i have to click on record and isten to the whole song and wait for it to almost end to mix it with the second song? i wanna make a set with like 60 songs, it would take me forever to listen to all of them and wait for each one of them to almost end in order ti mix it with the second one, is there a way to record what i want without listening to all of it and just mix the end of the songs with the beginning of the others?
cr andres yes i mistyped, but what i think what youre looking for is when you buildup one song and drop another, instead of just mixing off of the intro and outro kick loops. go check out the melbourne or electro mix on my channel and see if thats what you are looking for
arza download 8, its just like 7 only a lot easier to lean to use. i have some videos with 8 on my account check them out, and i will upload a tutorial that you can watch also. a big difference also between 7 and 8 is that in 8 you can have four songs on a deck as oppose to 7 where the most you could have is two.
Hey I have a prob.... like you correct your mistake one or two times so if you are recording these mistakes also get recorded so how can I get rid of these mistakes in my recording by the way you explain good. ( Awesome )
I'm having a problem beat matching with VDJ 8. I taught myself how to mix on turntables and am slowly transitioning over to using only CD's. The problem I am having is, when I cue up on the downbeat and come in on the one, I get it rolling where I close to a good sync, but then I press the sync button and lose it every time. What am I doing wrong?
songs that are long don't load all the way on the free trial of virtual dj for some reason. Ran into that problem as well at one point. Its annoying when your trying to play a specific section of a long song like that and it wont load all the way for you.
There is a setting on options or settings where you can allow songs that are more than 15 minutes to load the full track. The default is 15 minutes. You can change it to 20 or 30 minutes
How can i use the MIXER function in the middle of Virtuel dj with my External Mixer (Move to right or left) i have Pioneer DJM 400 Mixer!? I can use my Mixer with all the function but the button in the software do not move to right or left????
Now this is my question right now if I want to learn how to DJ do I have to have a degree of music or learn of music? Or you just need a good ear an love it?
The quality of DJ's are going down because much like EVERYTHING, these things are widely available. At the end of the day, all people wanna hear is good music. As long as you're bringing that, good energy or whatever, who cares what you use. As long as the people listening to it are vibing, that's all that matters.
nice video helped allot now I know how to mix thanks really helped but just btw were can I get a cheap dj set that works for maybe and intermidiate thanks bye
I Tend to loop the next deck sequence of 16, or the 1234's so it's ready when I am ready, I don't use the Cross fader at all, Instead I use the volume sliders and turn town the bass from what I'm crossing from so you still hear it playing whilst in the mix and then bring that sound down as I sequence in the new track when previous track is cut kf completely. Sure its not easy but is doable. I found my style of mixing to sound far better overall than just using crossfade. Also some tunes even though sync up and same BPM maybe still out of line so I ten to adjust the pitch of what I want to bring in which kind of works better, I'm sure you know what I mean it's like a 2nd beat before the 2 in sequence. Or some where the bear is not on the solid thick square. All you do with that is sync it as beat 1 with the track you mixing to.
pretty cool little video, didn't know much about how to mix things in a basic way. I wanna learn how to DJ really bad because it seems so cool but who knows if ill ever get into it haha nice vid tho!
I ask, is it possible on some of these dj players to autoplay all songs in the usb, with auto adjust and sync tempo on fixed value, auto mix crossfade like 4 sec mix time, and use the player like ordinary mp3 player ?

Hi, could you pls tell me what ski is this ? I have vdj free 8.1 and I did not found the skin on the website.
Great video.

Thx of the tutorial. Where do you download/buy your songs? Anyone knows a good website for getting songs for dj use?
soundcloud
3:30 To fix this loading issue:
Goto Config>>Performances>>Memory
Set it to something like 30 or 45 mins (length of track)
im not seeing performance nor memory
how do you get toulouse and animals, like those mixes to a file and put it on the virtual dj, where do you find it
This video made me more confused than before.

First off....Do NOT think you can use this great program with a mouse. You need a controller....FACT.
So many masterpieces in one video.. god, deadmau5 is a legend
I will definitely be downloading, I really want to become a DJ and this and classes will help me get there.

I can see a microphone signal that u are using, how did u use a mic on the virtual dj and record
I have one question: i can press p and s to play and stop. But it plays/stops the selected track, how do i select a specific track?
the tab button on your computer changes between the 'focus track'. So, whatever track is highlighted on the music waves at the top is the one that will respond to p and s. the space bar also lets you play and pause
yehbro69 Thanks so much!
AttackableGamingHD See the "PFL" buttons near the centre? If you click on those, it'll do the same thing.

cr andres I don't think there is a way to do this. That's what I hoped when I downloaded it, but it's more for live mixing. Good luck with your mix.
cr andres I dont think you understand the concept of what a live set is.. there are no "rules" of when to mix in a song
DigitalVideoFX i think you meant : i dont think you understand* and also, i never said live set because i didnt know what my options were but alright
cr andres yes i mistyped, but what i think what youre looking for is when you buildup one song and drop another, instead of just mixing off of the intro and outro kick loops. go check out the melbourne or electro mix on my channel and see if thats what you are looking for

Can you suggest any song that will fit in mixing for a beginner like me. Thank you in advance.
There is a setting on options or settings where you can allow songs that are more than 15 minutes to load the full track. The default is 15 minutes. You can change it to 20 or 30 minutes

Nice bro I impressed
Could I use the same technique for mixing break-beats? I'm trying to DJ for a bboy battle.
which virtual DJ version did you use in the video ?
I Tend to loop the next deck sequence of 16, or the 1234's so it's ready when I am ready, I don't use the Cross fader at all, Instead I use the volume sliders and turn town the bass from what I'm crossing from so you still hear it playing whilst in the mix and then bring that sound down as I sequence in the new track when previous track is cut kf completely.

Thanks for taking the time to do this tutorial. I really appreciate it.
I learned fading really well, Still working on mixing though, Not good explanation but I still understood. Great Tutorial recommended for begginers.
Absolutely awesome
This is just perfect ! Great explanation , Thank you very much :)
Thank you bro. My dj skills improved a lot
wow, you like deadmau5. youre a legend man.
So when you use the crossfader is that only what you're hearing or is it also what the audience is hearing as well?
