![]() ![]() They only talk about FS2 becuase FS2 is SSL's only compition. The only software I've ever heard mentioned over there is FS, since there are a lot of ex-FS users who converted to SSL.īy all means, I'd love to see a VDJ thread over there on the SSL forums. I've only been using SSl since mid Jan-2006.įunny though how SSL is a frequent topic here and VDJ has never been mentioned over there. I've been using VDJ since 1.9, December of 2004. Yes, I know both software programs very well. At least the vinyls are available in thousands of stores worldwide (something VDJ could benefit from). since they reverse engineered SSL vinyls so they work with DJ decks - not a bad move really. The only software I've ever heard mentioned over there is FS, since there are a lot of ex-FS users who converted to SSL. I'ts also been beat to death on this forum.įunny though how SSL is a frequent topic here and VDJ has never been mentioned over there. SSL has no loops (not in stable version), no BPM engine, no auto-mixing, no auto-beat matching, no pitch lock (not in stable version), no midi mapper, keyboard shortcuts can't be customized, external controllers can't be used, no music videos, no plugin architecture, no skins, the list goes on and on. You either have to go to the local Guitar Center and try, use a friends setup or check it out in any of the many clubs that are using it. SSL does not even have a way for users to give it a try before buying it. People who need SSL will seek it out, not very easily either. Matter of fact, I'm going to label this thread and all other future threads of this topic, "ridiculous". These products don't really even compare to eachother. What really puts the icing on the cake is that the Dev teams agenda is constructed based on the issues/requests brought up on these forums, serving the people with no arrogance. The moment I want the best KJ program or the best VJ program will be the moment I start looking for one, but I found VDJ because I was looking for the best DJ program, and that is what it is (in my humble opinion) but since all the wonderful updates it has also become the best all in one. I wouldn't say VDJ is the "jack of all trades", I'd say it's the master of one: "DJ app" with the competitive edge of delivering more high quality features at the cost of nothing to the paying customer. Video mixing, Karaoke etc are just added extras that work very well and will appeal to those people who are looking for a program to do it all. VDJ hasn't labelled it's self, it is with much success doing many things, but at the same time I'd say VDJ remains to be most loyal to the Digital DJ, that is what this program is about, and I'd say that is the main focus of the Dev Team. ![]() Virtual DJ is the ultimate in control, you have a lot of control over the music through the visual means as well as the manual (cue/beat mix), that for me is what makes this program a standout over the competition, you have the best control which means more creativity and easier use. I've been a working mobile DJ for almost 2 years with VDJ, and I won't ever go back to CD's or vinyl. Beatmixing just isn't practical or advisable for these functions, so I don't even bring the decks to them. I love beatmixing and scratching, but the vast majority of my DJ work comes from weddings and corporate parties. I don't think it's cheating, but some close-minded types seem to think so.Īlso, VDJ is just more versatile. ![]() If you are a hard-core vinyl DJ, and you don't want to "cheat" by using the computer for beatmixing, loops, samples and the like, then perhaps Serato is for you. My question is why should I have to buy an expensive mixer when my laptop should be capable of these things anyway? So if you want loops, effects and samples, you are going to have to pay even more for a mixer that does these things. It doesn't really take advantage of the PC platform the way VDJ does. Serato re-creates the vinyl dj experience, but does nothing more. I've used both, and I've chosen virtual DJ. ![]()
