timecodeNeedleDropSync

When needle-dropping, wait to be sure of the new position before starting to play.

timecodePitchSliderIgnoreBend

The timecode pitch slider will not move during manual pitch-bend (braking or speeding up the record), but at the expense of a delayed movement of the slider if you make sudden big pitch modifications.

timecodeSilence

Level under which the timecode is considered stopped. Raise this value if you perform in a very noisy or vibration-full environment. Lower this value if you want to perform tricks that require very slow scratches.

Performance

stemsRealtimeSeparation

- Always: separate every song when loading\n- On-Demand: only separate songs that make use of stems (will have a small delay with reduced quality when starting)\n- Prepared: offer to prepare saved stems when needed, and use reduced-quality in the meantime\n- Reduced quality: silently use reduced quality if no prepared stems available\n- Fully disabled: never try to separate stems, not even in reduced quality (modern waveforms will be unavailable)

stemsSavedStems

Choose if a prepared stems file should be saved automatically after a real-time separation

stemsGPU

stemsFix

If your computer is a little too old, try one of these options

stemsSavedFolder

By default prepared stems files are saved alongside their source file in the source file's folder. If you want all the prepared stems to be saved instead in a separate folder, set the folder here

skinUseLowPowerGPU

For laptop with dual-GPU, select if the skin and video should use the internal low-power GPU (to preserve battery) or the discrete high-power GPU. The low-power GPU is usually enough to draw the skin and for basic video mixing, and will make your battery last longer. Use the high-power GPU if you're doing complicated video mixing with complex effects or shaders.

skinUseLowPowerGPU

skinFPS

Set the number of frames per seconds the skin is updated. A higher value will make animation smoother, a lower value will make cpu usage lower

sampleRate

Force the internal samplerate. If set to "auto" VirtualDJ will use the samplerate recommended by your soundcard. If you are playing a lot of MP3 files, we recommend using a 44100 samplerate. If you are playing a lot of VOB videos, we recommend using 48000. As a rule, a bigger samplerate DOES NOT mean a better sound quality, on the opposite. The best quality is when your source file, internal samplerate, and soundcard, all use the same value. And since you can change the value of the soundcard and of VirtualDJ, but not of the source files, you should set the value that matches most of your files (mp3 are 44100, videos are 48000)

latency

latency in samples

ultraLatency

Set to yes to minimize the latency when using ASIO sound drivers, by writing audio before the "safe" recommended point. If you hear some cracks in ASIO, try to turn this off.

maxPreloadLength

Prevent overloading your memory, by not fully preloading any song that is longer than this value (in minutes). Set to -1 to always preload. 0 to select automatically

maxStemLength

Prevent overloading your memory, by not fully preloading stems for any song that is longer than this value (in minutes). Set to -1 to always try to allocate memory for stems

pitchQuality

Choose which algorithm to use when pitching/scratching/mastertempo. 1 is fastest, 2 is good quality, 3 is excellent quality, 4 is best quality but requires fast cpu

scratchFilterQuality

Choose the quality of the algorithm used for the scratching. Higher values increase sound quality but also increase cpu usage. Default is 12, maximum is 32

songLoadPriority

Lower song load priority to prevent audio drop-outs while loading

experimentalBeatAnalyzer

Improve skin rendering performance

useOpengl

Use openGL instead of Metal for graphic rendering
