VirtualDJ which you may also have seen advertised as VDJ or Virtual Dee Jay is a complete audio and video mixing tool which is great for mobile DJs.
DJs can control the features of the software via a
MIDI controller or by simply using the mouse on your PC or Laptop. Some of the most popular Midi Controllers are produced via Numark such as
Mixtrack Pro and
iDJ3.
VirtualDJ can handle all your video mixing and scratching, which coins the new phrase ''VJ or VDJ'' for Video DJing.
For complete emulation of your digital music folder, the use of a Midi Controller allows you to physically manipulate the playback of audio files using the built in turntable style interface. This enables us DJs to scratch, beatmix, and perform other turntablism in a simple easy to use, and most importatly familiar layout.
