Hi all,
Does anyone here just use vdj to mix? i dont have enough cash to get an external mixer or anything so i was just wanting to see if anyone here just uses virtual dj to mix and if so if you have any tips on mixing better as it is hard not being able to turn eq knobs etc on a keyboard!
thanks

Virtual DJ is great to just mix. Of course you'll need some experience to use it. But you are able to do almost anything and more what you can do with 2 turntables and mixer. Check the forum also about some topics like Automix, cause that has been completely changed in version 5.0.
But if you know how to mix with turntables you will love this.

Virtual DJ 5.0 now supports both Automix and Autocrossfade. Here's a link to some info:

Shortcut Macro
A shortcut macro is the process of assigning multiple actions to the same key or key combination. The power of the macro comes from the
order they are listed. So open the Configuration dialog and select the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
Here is an example of a highly request macro that provides a ‘Mix Now’ capability.
The actions to be used are auto_crossfade, play, and select and assigned to the Space bar for activation.
- auto_crossfade – moves the crossfader
- play – activates the play of the track
- select – changes which deck is now the active deck
To build the macro, add the auto_crossfade action first. Select the Add button to get the action dialog. Hit the ‘Space’ bar to add that to the
Key section. Choose the ‘all’ in the left list, then ‘auto_crossfade’ from the middle list. Use the drop-down and select ‘on active deck’. Then
click OK.
Repeat this process for ‘play’ and ‘select’ and be sure to choose the ‘on active deck’ from the drop-down option. The ‘play’ and ‘select’
options can be found in the ‘deck controls’ option of the left list.
Now once OK is click for adding each of those actions, VirtualDJ will provide a dialog that states ‘This shortcut is already assigned. Click Yes
to add the new shortcut and build up macros. Click No to replace the previous shortcut.’ Click ‘Yes’ to build up the macro.
And once each item is added, click ‘OK’ at the bottom of the Configuration dialog and test shortcut.
In this example the ‘Space’ bar was used and is not the required key in order to make it work. Any key or key combination can be used as
long as all actions are assigned to that key. Also, remember the power is in the order of the actions. If this macro is configured in a different
order the results of functionality can differ.

You need to learn the keyboard shortcuts to kill Bass, Mid, etc etc. I gave up doing this and bought the MK to make it easier but it can be done

My experience while testing Virtual DJ 5.0 is that the interface almost works like a normal mixer. Mainsettings like Hi, Mid or Low can be adjust with the buttons from the interface using the mouse. Most (advanced) settings work that way. Other ones might need a keyboard shortcut. Therefore there're too many functions and features to handle through the interface alone.
