I love the recent Virtual DJ Pro 6.0. However, I was wondering whether can Virtual DJ be supported by Atom notebook?
Can anyone help me out?

The most recent Atom Netbooks will work OK for VirtualDJ mixing audio, but will be slower loading that a normal laptop with faster CPU.
Some of the newer Atom Netbooks can even cope with mixing video, although loading will be slow and CPU 100%.
The latest v6.1 has a 1024x600 skin designed for use on Netbooks.
Please use the latest v6.1 trial http://www.virtualdj.com/download/trial.html and if you like the software, please purchase it: http://www.virtualdj.com/buy/index.html / http://www.virtualdj.com/products/basic.html

My atom netbook is fine with virtual dj it works with music perfect and to be honest if also does videos well.
I have used at home several times and have now also giged approx 5 time now with no glitches.
The loading times are longer but the cpu does not spike 100% when loading videos as stated above (well not on my netbook any way).

Can anyone verify whether Virtual DJ 6 can run on a netbook without any problems please?
Because I don't want to buy and a netbook and end up I can't use Virtual DJ 6 on the machine.
My intention of doing so is to get a light and small portable laptop to travel round the world to DJ.
By the way, using a netbook, is the quality of the music compromised by it?
Just a side track, does anyone know where to buy Virtual DJ in Singapore?
Thanks!

You only can buy the Professional Version of VDJ here on the Website: https://www.virtualdj.com/buy/index.html
VDJ Pro is not available in a shop or on an other place in the web.
Also there are some VDJ based applications on the market:
- Numark CUE
- different controllers come with a LE version of VDJ
- Herkules Trim Soundcard came with a special 'Timecode Enabled LE Version'
see here: http://www.virtualdj.com/products/comparison.html

VirtualDJ will run OK on a NetBook with the latest Atom chips - I have one of these (Samsung N210) as a backup.
Sound quality will depend on the sound card you are using. The internal sound card is acceptable but for best results (And headphone pre-listening) you will ideally need a dedicated DJ sound card with two stereo outputs, such as Numark DJIO, Native Instruments Audio 2 DJ, etc.
Loading of songs is obviously slower though than a normal laptop.

Yes netbooks run pretty sweet. I have been doing a hell of a lot of testing on my netbook which has a atom 1.66ghz on the new N450 pinetrail chipset.
If you run you netbook straight out the box then virtual dj will probaly run slow as there is alot of stuff to configure to get the max performance out of the netbook.
I have got mine setup and now trust it fully for live gigs and i have now done several gigs with my netbook.
My cpu never goes above 50% (unless i load 2 songs into both decks at the same time) and i have also mixed music videos for approx 4 hours straight which also went well (vobs only).
all this has been done on a atom 1.66ghz processor, 2gb ram, intel 3150 video and windows 7 home premuim (lots of tweaks had do be made to windows 7 to get the cpu to sit at 0% idle).

Ok i see a few are using or trying atom netbooks now so i am going to list a couple of points to make virtual dj perform well on a netbook.
1. First thing to do is change you power options to high performance. Reason being if you leave it on balanced windows will use the processor power management which will underclock you processor to save power. This will result in you processor hitting 100% in virtual dj until windows recogonises it needs more power then bumps your cpu upto 1.66ghz from 997mhz.
2. This is for windows 7 users only. Whilst testing i noticed my cpu in virtual dj was always idleing around a quater of the way even when i was not doing nothing. This is caused by windows 7 aero i solved this by switching theme to basic theme and now the cpu sits at zero with virtual dj loaded whilst idle doing nothing.
3. There are also other tweaks you can make to make windows 7 performance go up but to much to list i have only listed the points that make the most impact on performance. If you want further performance just google windows 7 speed up tweaks.
4. The next point i am going to add will probaly be the same on all systems but you notice it more on a netbook. If like me you are using your netbook to be ultra portable then this next step eliminates you carrying your external hard drive everywhere.
I use 2x iomega 500gb hard drives which when i load songs from it will take approx 25 seconds to load a 7 minute song on my netbook.
So i transfered a bunch of songs onto a 8gb sd card and loaded the same 7 minute song from the sd card which only took 18 seconds to load thats a 7 second difference so i now add my whole playlist for the night onto my sd card.
I have now used my netook for approx 10 music gigs, approx 4 karaoke gigs and i have tested video mixing for approx 4 hours which have all been successful.

Hi,
my Problem on my Acer 1,66 GHz Netbook is, that it run out of time, when I put in the next song on the turntable, because of the analizing funktion, but I can't find out where to switch of. Has anyone any idea?
