Never really gave the filter folder section any thought. All I did when I learned to do it was make up a few favorites folders for my genres. But this is great for sure! Thanks!
hey I have a huge library already filed by genere by year but still have difficulty during sets if I want a particular genere with specific details, your tutorial has been a great help, thanks
With the Rane Seventy-Two and the Rane Twelve MKII is there a way to use four decks, and if not is there a way to have songs set up before hand in order to do a quicker transition?
Great channel thanks. Must work my way through your tutorials . Just hit the road after a 6 yr gap. Using VDJ 21 Question please I play Music, Karaoke & Video. I think on older versions you could be selective with your search. I've searched the web and Y Tube but can't find any direct information on this. So that I can for instance search only karaoke files etc. Hope you can help thanks Tony from the UK.
Wow Game changer for me since I use VDJ this its really really helpful tip to use those files that I can do on my music file thank you so much I will make sure to share this out with my fellow DJs who use VDJ thank you so much this its a life saver for me
Thank you very much for your well-thought-out, and organized video. I most recently have been using Serato DJ pro. I just downloaded virtual DJ 2020 and I'm very impressed with the changes especially visually. VD in my opinion has always ran much faster and smoother than Serato. But I've always preferred the professional look of Serato. I'm a very visual person. Now I'm thinking about coming back to virtual DJ. this video will really will help me with organizing.
Brilliant tutorial thanks 🙏 I’ve downloaded the 2020 home version. It displays I’m off line. Do I have to be on line while playing and why? I’m not a DJ . No controller just a very old mixer non USB at home . Old 8 was fine off line!
I loved this video, and you explained things very well. I am trying to clear up my files, and I want to ensure that the filename is the same as the tags (artist & Title). I can do this using MP3 Tag, but I would have to wipe the database and re-enter all the tracks in the folder. If I did this, would I lose all filters and playlists for these files? I would not change the tags, just the file name. I don't want to destroy all that work. What do you think?
when i close virtual DJ my favorite folders disappear and i need to add them again when i relaunch the software, how do I save the favorite so it remains there all the time
Question: HD crashed and had to reinstall. :-( I used to be able to click ITUNES, all my folders within ITUNES would show. If I clicked on a specific folder, those songs would show. Now it's all listing artists. If I clicked on the main MUSIC folder, all songs within all subfolders would show. (in the main screen) How do I get that back? TIA!
I am finally ripping my CDs and become a laptop DJ, lol. I was trying to locate the page you showed, filter folder examples, on the VDJ website, and can not find? I am trying to remove dead files. I have also tried to delete the tracks and to remove from the database but they are still there? Also to add to database when you right-click mouse is it instant or am I waiting for the indicator bar to run along each track? Thank you, Pat
is there away to get library zoom view back in virtual dj, either with a basic library view skin or a function to make the library bigger - it seems to have disappeared in vdj8 and 2020
After viewing this and learning how the favorite folders work, I feel stupid by taking Crate Hackers advice and going without folders. It's been a pain, trying to redo my old folders from my old extental drive and create them as Virtual folders, one song at a time. 🙄
Hold on,,, you have songs that you didn’t even know you have? Isn’t that exactly what DJ’s are NOT supposed to do? Knowing your music is one of the basics in the art of DJ’ing!! What am I not getting?
In theory, of course. But mobile DJs need to carry an awful lot of music, and it can pile up. Have you never bought a tune only to find you'd already bought it? I know I have!
@@digitaldjtips I have indeed bought songs I already had,,,,2 or 3 maybe. The list she showed of songs she had but did not know was quite large and she wasn't talking about duplicates. Maybe it was just an example and not even true but I thought it was a bad example and encourages a behaviour we as DJ's should not do. Just my 2 cents.
phinds1 My weakest generes is Latin music. I have acquired a large database of it to cover most of anything I could need. There are artist and styles that are difficult to remember since it's not in my normal rotation. With proper tagging, there are artist or songs I may have forgot about or not realized I had. Belonging to numerous record pools there is no way to scan everything I download. But if somone asks for salsa or merengue I can easily search for what I have in one location. Database management is a very personal preference. I encourage people to do what works for them. Thanks for watching and your feedback.
Great to see some Virtual DJ content! Especially for Mobile DJs
Klaus Mogensen Thanks a bunch! I think it's important to have content available for all programs. I'm trying to get more VDJ stuff out there.
That was awesome Rachel, long time user & I just learned alot.
Glad it was helpful!

Glad to help :)
I have managed to create a Club Classics virtual folder incorporating filter folders with different genres of dance-type music!
hey I have a huge library already filed by genere by year but still have difficulty during sets if I want a particular genere with specific details, your tutorial has been a great help, thanks

Super Helpful...
Glad you found this useful Milton!
How is transferring sub folders/favorites/Playlist history etc.to another computer achievable? Thanks for the helpful content.

No don't believe so, is it stopping you from using it?

Hi , i like the loke of the software how do u do that?tnx

I can't move my album column to the left past the artist column how do I correct it so I can change order of columns?
You should be able to just drag and drop it with the mouse.
Thanks a lot.. very nice..
How do you get the playlist to save in the order I set it up..instead of reorganizing inside the folder
Do you have a video on how to reconnect error files?
No I don't believe so, good suggestion though
is there away to get library zoom view back in virtual dj, either with a basic library view skin or a function to make the library bigger - it seems to have disappeared in vdj8 and 2020
Not sure about that Mick - I know you can increase the font size of the library tracks in the preferences if that's what you mean? :)
@@digitaldjtips Thanks for the reply - You can make the library full screen on 7 and below, it made karaoke and playing back to back a lot easier.
Thank you
So didactic! Congrats!
Thanks for watching!
wow great video. and DJ Rachel is very talented not to mention beautiful!!! i think im in love guys
Niko Leyxan I appreciate it! Thanks for watching.
Lolll
How do I generate music crates based off a clients music requests?
I'd be filtering based on genre and year it came out for some ideas
After viewing this and learning how the favorite folders work, I feel stupid by taking Crate Hackers advice and going without folders. It's been a pain, trying to redo my old folders from my old extental drive and create them as Virtual folders, one song at a time. 🙄
Just got to find the way that works best for you :)
New girl in the house!

"Let's say its Ed Sheeran's Perfect like everyone else in the whole world..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
