Options

ABtesting

language

Language-file used for translation

loadSecurity

Ask a confirmation message if you try to load a song on a deck that is already playing. Silent will not load and not show a confirmation dialog.

endOfSongWarning

Time left in song (in seconds) when to show the end-of-song warning

autoDiscMarker

Automatically put the disc marker back to 0 degrees on cue points

sandboxSplitHeadphones

In sandbox mode, sends the sandbox master to the left ear of your headphones, and the sandbox pfl to the right ear

sandboxPreviewOnly

In preview only sandbox mode, only the song position is reflected in the sandbox. volumes, crossfaders, equalizers and effects are still applied to the main output

VDJScriptGlobalVariables

List of persistent global variables saved by your scripts

crashGuard

CrashGuard constantly monitors the VirtualDJ process, and silently reboot it without interruption if something goes wrong

crashReportLevel

If you experience some problems and the technical support ask you to submit more detailed dump files, set this to the value the technical support agent told you

poiEditorShowAll

Show system POIs in the POI Editor

poiEditorSnap

Snap POIs to the beat in the POI Editor

nonColoredPoi

Specify how to choose the default color for CUEs and other POIs that don't have a specific color

colorPicker

Select which colorPicker to use. 'auto' uses gradient in tag editor and simple otherwise

settingPage

Last page used in settings

dontShowAgain

Dialogs that you asked not to show again

showTipOfTheDay

show Tip Of The Day when new ones are available

tipOfTheDayAlreadySeen

list of Tip Of The Day already clicked or closed (that won't be shown again)

skinStarterTip

limitedEdition

startOfDayHour

Hour (in 24h format) at which to cut into a new date in tracklisting.txt (default: 8 AM)

automaticDatabaseBackupPeriod

Number of days between each automatic database backup, or 0 for no automatic backup

databaseBackupLocation

Folder to store database backups

Performance

mathEngine

Force or disable the advanced mathematics engine used for compute-intensive features like stems separation

mathEnginePriority

Reduce priority of stems processing to reduce system load when CPU math engine is used

precomputeStems

Use files on your hard-drive to precompute the stem separation, in order to speed up future loads

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 loading 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 10, maximum is 30

songLoadPriority

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

experimentalBeatAnalyzer

experimentalSkinEngine

Improve skin rendering performance

useLowPowerGPU

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.

useLowPowerGPU

mathEngineShareGPU

Force the mathEngine to not use the GPU to its maximum, so that other processes can use it. Use this if you set useLowPowerGPU to No.

experimentalUseMetal

experimentalWaveColors

safeVideoDecode

Use this if your are experiencing troubles with old video drivers using hardware decoding of videos

analyzeSongsOnView

When enabled, unscanned files are automatically scanned as they are browsed

keepBPMonAnalyzerUpdate

When enabled, automatically detected bpm and beat-grid will not be updated when the bpm analyzer has been updated. Only manual re-scan will then update the bpm and phase with the new analyzer.
