What is Virtual DJ 8?

Virtual DJ is an audio mixing software that DJ’s use in place of Vinyl or CD based decks to manage and mix tracks.

Building on from it's predecessor, Virtual DJ 8 offers some new features like the sandbox and editors modes, whilst refining core software like controllers and mixing windows for a smoother experience.

While some knowledge of beat-mixing and cueing is beneficial, Virtual DJ 8 allows anyone to start mixing audio without having to purchase costly equipment - Virtual DJ 8 is available for both Windows and Mac platforms and supports MP3 and AAC file formats.

You must have Virtual DJ 8.1 or above when connecting to your Radio.co station - You can update your version via the settings window.

Virtual DJ 8 Features

Virtual DJ 8 is the next instalment in a long line of DJ management and editing software. Boasting a number of improvements over it's predecessor, these are the stand out features you should know.

Free vs Paid

Not necessarily a feature, but something worth noting. The free version can be used for as long as you want, granted it's for home use and not profit, but it does lack a certain key feature known as 'controllers'.

The paid version's controllers are a way to map your DJ controller like a third-party mixing desk to Virtual DJ, something professional DJs that mix at clubs can't go without.

Controllers

Controllers map your hardware like a mixing desk to Virtual DJ 8 - Select from a number of configurable devices within the Settings -> Controllers area.

Once setup, you can control your tracks within Virtual DJ 8 on your mixing desk, for instance if you're using the Numark Mixtrack Pro II you can adjust the volume levels, fades, cues, speeds, and more on your deck.

Sampler

The sampler is a handy tool that lets you easily select audio snippets to drop or loop in your tracks, for instance you can use the default 'Kick' track to play a repetitive kick as a bass line.
