Virtual DJ
Virtual DJ Posted on: 10.10.2013 by Loyd Cilek Hi guys and girls,Quick question for you; I sometimes DJ for a local radio station but unfortunately there's no space in their studio for my CDJs. To get around this I either borrow a friends controller + laptop or burn individual tracks to CD and just treat it like a normal show rather than mixing. I was wondering if I could use Virtual DJ Home, which is free, to mix within the software, without a controller and simply run the audio from my laptop to the radio station's input. | |

| Alphonso Deitchman 11.10.2013 | You could use Serato DJ Intro with the VCI 400? |
| Loyd Cilek 11.10.2013 | Well it's a mates VCI 400. I'll definitely take a look at it, thanks. |
| Cassie Sangermano 11.10.2013 | As suggested above, take a look at mixxx instead then. Totally free, and pretty easy to map the basic functions with. What controller are you using?? |
| Loyd Cilek 11.10.2013 | Just to give an update on this. Turns out with the free home edition you can only use a controller or USB soundcard for a maximum of 10 minutes. b1sh0p, I don't have an ipad, I don't own a tablet as it goes... |
| Sonja Roybal 10.10.2013 | Do you have an iPad? |
| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 10.10.2013 | you might want to look into mixxx aswell it can use shoutcast for broadcasting and has about 30 controllers mapped to it. If your friends controller isn't mapped it has a pretty cool javascript based mapping engine that isn't too difficult to understand if you know a little about javascript basics. |
| Hellen Mindrup 10.10.2013 | I learned on their home edition years ago... You can mix with it. Won't be as seamless as external mixing but you'll be fine once you figure it out. |

| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 10.10.2013 | It's not like they will lock the software, although they do track users both cracked and legit who don't have a good firewall... I believe the idea is that if you like something and use it a lot you should support the company who creates it and makes your income possible.. In the grand scheme of things $300 for software that can get anyone $500 a evening is nothing.. I'm pretty sure that from the teaser vids explination a year ago VDJ8 streaming will be locked down to an atomix owned server so if you have a cracked version you won't be able to stream online. But I believe that's fair. |

| Cassie Sangermano 10.10.2013 | I don't see why not. Just learn the keyboard mapping and you should be good to go!! (There probably is something in the EULA about it not being used for commercial purposes though.....) |
