Virtual DJ & Karaoke Studio gives you a mixer-board interface. Each line offers things you would expect from a typical mixer - volume fader, mute, crossfader assignment, etc. Additionally, each line contains an MP3/WAV/Karaoke player, with all of the controls you might expect - including a Pitch/Tempo control. Manufacturer: Pioneer DJ; Price: $1,119 (in DJTT store) Release Date: January 2018; Software: Rekordbox DJ; Unlike this year, Pioneer DJ actually announced a new product at NAMM 2018 – and the DDJ-1000 was a shimmering new piece of hardware, exclusive to Rekordbox DJ, that was the natural new direction for the DDJ line.

When it comes to DJ software Virtual DJ is virtually, no pun intended, one of the best there is out there. So it makes sense that manufacturers make some virtual DJ controllers that are compatible with the software. The software was most recently updated in 2018 and a Virtual DJ download is available for those who want to give it a go.

So, what makes Virtual DJ formidable software?

Virtual DJ 2018 Updates Review

Virtual DJ is a great DJ software and arguably one of the most widely used across the world.

A glance at the recently updated version reveals some nifty additions on top of the already impressive features of the old version of Virtual DJ. Although the ability to cloud stream libraries and recommend tracks is now available in other DJ apps, virtual DJ was the first to implement these features in 2018 keeping with its trailblazing tradition.

Other features and visual options added to the 2018 virtual DJ controller software include video skins and shaders. If you want to livestream to your Facebook or YouTube audience, you can also do so. Giving you in-software control of DMX lights is the OS2L protocol, another new feature. Last, with scratch DNA, Virtual DJ is giving Serato and Pioneer DJ a run for their money by allowing you to use your keyboard to program scratches and routines.

Video skins and shaders – Nothing beats keeping an audience focused on you and what you are doing on stage. With the video skins and shaded in Virtual DJ controller, you have the ability to visually share what you are doing with your audience. This is made possible by the use of animation and full-screen graphics that respond to the music you are playing and show the features you use.

Scratch DNA – If you have used Serato DJ or the Pioneer DJ DDJ-SB3, then you have probably come across their “jazzy Jeff” button. This is where you create a scratch sequence by hitting a button on the controller. With the virtual controller software, you don’t even need a controller to do that. Virtual DJs scratch DNA feature allows you to trigger scratches by hitting any of the eight performance pads on the virtual interface. With this feature, you can even do scratch drops and scratch combos in the software.

Streaming – before allowing direct streaming, you would have to use third parties such as Open Broadcast Server (OBS) to livestream to audiences on Facebook Live, Twitch, or YouTube. Now, if you just want to play in front of your audience without fancy video with cameras on all angles, you can stream from within virtual DJ.

Now that we have an idea of what virtual DJ can do, below is a look at a few small DJ controllers that integrate seamlessly with the software.
