Just wondering? Does this feature also have or have a library of sound effects? Im not sure if it does but i'll ask anyway lol Im not computer savvy. That's my excuse lol

[@djstevenferreri9557]

great tips

[@luisnoto]

Nice thanks for sharing

[@zefMusic]

You are amazing!!!

[@rondavue]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@rondavue]

By the way, how does stutter works? I did select 'play stutter', but it does not stutter but only play normally. Tried looping but from your video, I don't see loop switched on.

[@rondavue]

OK Got it. You repeatedly pressed play for the stutter effect. My bad!

[@EchoPapa]

Your welcome. Thanks for commenting.

[@djalejandro4878]

i want to do an own song with my dj wego eeehm i have to make own beats because i wnt to upload them on youtube. how can i do this?

[@Wlsn56210]

do you need a specific microphone for this? I have a windows laptop, tried using the aux cord from my beats by dre headphones, didn't work out that well

[@jhonbro6880]

Dude you'r a life saver :) thanks

[@bradleyheylen4901]

[@suraine1618]

[@MalieBrownification]

This helped a lot thank you. I do have a problem that the drop is way too soft when I play it with music... what am I doing wrong?

[@kevinkipyego8529]

thank you its help me alot

[@SeeSwann]

Hey man, thanks for the videos. You rock! One quick question... When playing that DJ Drop sample, will it stutter to the beat of the track being played like the Air Horn does? Or is there another step to make that happen?

[@naveenholt7518]

Hi Echo Papa, can you please explain how do you unloaded a track as quickly as you did? It looks like you pressed the pause button

[@darioojeda25]

Respect ♥

[@jerrycruz9791]

Echo papa do one adding a siren & explosion

[@heshanl.thennakoon]

Wow it's very useful😍😍❤️

[@yanndupresvolleyballchanne7738]

Echo Papa, I join the many youtube viewers who thank you for these outstanding instructional videos on VDJ8. They are very well made and very clear to follow. Keep it going! Here is my question: is there a way to add Text overlay or Video using the Video Editor to a recorded sample? I made myself pretty cool DJ drop following the instructions in this one, but I also would have loved to add animated overlay text so I can I bring the Drop in my video mix. 75% of the tracks I use when I DJ are music videos and for the audio only tracks I use Sonique type visualization or video loops, so I am really into Video DJ'ing. What I am trying to get to is something similar to the 3-2-1 video sample that is provided with VDJ8. I watched your video on quick and dirty video samples and I was hoping to be able to use the same technique on the audio sample (the DJ drop) that I created. Unfortunately, it seems that the Video Editor cannot open VDJ sample files. Only Audio or Video tracks. Any ideas?

[@johnmiller3394]

If you're in video mode in VDJ just click the settings icon next to the text tab. You can pick the font, color and speed your text will scroll at. Just type what you want your screens to project and press "apply". Lastly you press the text button to activate (turn the tab green) your settings.

[@patricebattle6312]

[@georgesmith3022]

How do you add reverb?

[@unbreakablestar6411]

Is there a way to get rid of the thing where you can hear your own voice when you use mic?

[@Kenz242]

[@andyjapal4654]

Nice Dj Drop ive been needing one for along time do you think you could make me one Dj Jayy

[@pfimbres83]

[@cyanmishra3249]

Bro is the virtual DJ 8 helpful in making a bass drop. if yes can u show how.

[@CaramelPapiGaming]

This works on any version of virtual DJ?

[@djsndcx]

+Markus Scott It's just effects... SO yea it will. The POI just won't be there in 7.

[@djchino422]

I would like to broadcast live on vdj radio with a live mic. What do I need to broadcast live. thank you sir

[@fatwaniabh]

I was dying to learn this, kindly suggest which version of Virtual Dj was this ??

[@EchoPapa]

8

[@medinaorlando1]

AWESOME"" thank you so much for taking the time to make this video i'm looking forward to learn more... thank you, just one question how did you made your own logo?

[@EchoPapa]

orlando medina Usually if I want to make a logo I use Photoshop or Adobe Animate. But the logo used in this video I made in MS-PAINT in about 3 minutes.

[@coolvibesreloaded7946]

Hi I wanna use vocal effects with my dj drops how do I add the vocal effects???

[@SeattleareaDJ]

HI I Have a track with multiple areas I want to grab samples from. Buy once I get 1 it won't allow me to make more any ideas?

[@EchoPapa]

Are you currently loading the entire song into the sample editor?

[@SeattleareaDJ]

Echo Papa yes and the track is about 7 minutes long it has about five samples that I want to extract out of it

[@EchoPapa]

Mobile DJ Sean Denard Load your track into a deck. Turn off smart loop (if its a one-shot), mark the start and end point in the loop section and with IN and OUT, then hit the REC in the loop window. It will appear in your recorded section in the sample browser. Then you can drag it to a empty sample slot. Rinse and repeat.

[@SeanDenard]

Echo Papa Works! Thank you

[@EchoPapa]

No prob

[@hollisdownes333]

informative man i like,but how do you make your own logo i'm new to this....thanks

[@djsndcx]

+Hollis Downes You can make it in your favourite image editing program :)

[@Fuzzerk]

what would be the pro way? Nice video BTW I'm just starting

[@EchoPapa]

Record with a descent microphone, dump the recording into sound forge, tweak the crap out of it.

[@akshatjaveria]

nice video bro. loved it :)

[@EchoPapa]

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.

[@hackerjohnsonjohson8741]

hey echo papa thanks for the video, i want to ask you something. What skin and other add ons or software have you add unto virtual dj?Like POI Editor

[@EchoPapa]

+Hackerjohnson Johson VST Izotope Vinyl. I pretty much just use the default skins.

[@PranavSettaluri]

How make a lengthy video and edit it? Bow can you do a different drop?

[@swayamj]

How did you unload the track? Pls reply

[@gameclinic-ug]

thx sooo much echo papa

[@fcortes789]

very good …keeping coming. Question: i have some tracks they are protected and i can not upload them to Virtual Dj…Help please!!! Thanks…

[@EchoPapa]

Protected how?

[@fcortes789]

Echo Papa yes, when i want to upload it to Virtual DJ, its show me an error. i can’t convert it to mp3 also.

[@EchoPapa]

What format are the files in?

[@fcortes789]

Echo Papa Protected ACC audio file…

[@EchoPapa]

Fernando Cortes My guess is that they are iTunes files. ACC is a file format for Apple products specifically because they make it very easy to lock content to certain devices. ACC is of very high quality, but only a handful of products can play protected ACC files, and Virtual DJ is not one of them. If they are uprotected ACC files, Virtual DJ should be able to play, but your stuck on the protected ones. Sorry.

[@debezt_choice3721]

My virtual DJ skin is different from yours Echo papa, does this bring any different in mixing features.... Please tell me I want to know

[@EchoPapa]

Adedoyin Samuel Jerry Not really. That is the 8.0 skin. Biggest differences are in the players.

[@debezt_choice3721]

Perhaps I can the skin view for you to see and you said something like biggest difference in player, is there something you can do with your virtual DJ that mine can't. Please Tell tell me bro.

[@lordluci8874]
