Serato 3.0 User Tries Virtual DJ Pro

[@TheEvox81]

I used Virtual DJ 15 years ago as a wedding DJ, then took a long hiatus until late last year when I decided to be a club DJ in less than 2 months. Still had the lifetime license, so made sense to just use VDJ. I never found it overwhelming or busy. I've looked at it as having a bunch of features waiting for me to discover/learn. If there's one thing I find confusing about other software/standalone systems it's the data management.

[@rsvstreamingservices]

You are testing one of the most powerful DJ softwares in the world. That requires some learning from videos, other users, etc. to learn quickly. You can’t take a sophisticated racing car out for a spin like a normal sedan. An orientation is necessary. Enjoy.

[@DJKWICK954]

😂😂😂😂

[@a.t9922]

Couldn't agree more.

[@dantonliam]

I know…watching him whine cause it was confusing…lol….I tried serato years ago when I got started. I signed up for VDJ right away and easily learned it….Hated serato…

[@bitangayves2125]

Indeed

[@bitangayves2125]

Using Virtual dj Pro with my Hercules DJ Inpulse Control 500, and it's great. The DJUCED dj software from Hercules seems complicated to me 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@buddy0208]

Allready been said, But to get your virtual dj effects to echo out with the fader down you just need to go into setting and find the fx section and change it to post fader. pretty much any problem you run into can be fixed in the settings.

[@the904loungepresents]

It's crazy that we are still having these debates about which is better VDJ or Serato. I have and use both, but prefer VDJ for MY dj needs. I don't Dj in clubs, I do weddings and other events so VDJ works great for me. I do agree with many of the comments, it's unfair to jump into a software that you don't use and have a negative view because it's not like the one you are used too. If all software were the same we would complain about that too. VDJ is used for so many other things other than just djing and that's the option that it gives. Serato is a power house dj program. Biased comparison videos really is not a comparison but a reason to say why I don't really like the other software. Many say that VDJ is clunky and busy, but for the price, I want ALL those options there, it's just my choice to use them. Truth of the matter is, the only people who care what dj software we use is US, the people we are rocking for could care less as long as the music is good!

[@jmkariuki5863]

Exactly! I'm wondering why make a video and complain about how this thing that I'm trying for about an hr is nothing like the thing that I'm used to using for years. If Serato, VirtualDj, Djay Pro, Rekordbox work for you, then keep on using it. If you actually want to try something new, then actually try it. Give it a few days. Weeks before deciding what works for you. I use Serato, VirtualDj and Rekordbox. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. At some point I might try Djay pro and if I do, I'm not doing it to complain about it's weakness but to see if it's something I could incorporate into my sets.

[@mysteriousoklahoma777]

Agree…Virtual DJ is superior

[@freshtodeath88]

VDJ is compatible with a lot of DJ equipments. I use it as a backup when the controller isn’t compatible with Rekordbox. You didn’t need to use Lexicon with VDJ. VDJ automatically connects with other DJ software. I started using VDJ in the early 2000s.

[@BeltonKwong]

That's the most key mistake in this video. Should give credit to VDJ. No Lexicon is needed. It just natively reads Serato Crates. It works like charm for bi-directional sync.

[@Dinglezz]

DJs that keep touching the knobs without adjusting anything - Look Mom, I'm DJing.

[@gadjox]

You can't have both a lot more features and be less complicated. But in fact you can. With VDJ the whole UI can be redesigned element by element to be exactly what you need. It takes a bit of time but you can pay someone to design your perfect layout, down to buttons, sizes and pixels. Then you're set for years.

[@geniespeaking533]

as a VDJ pro user who is just now after 5 years starting to mess around with Serato this video was HILARIOUS! because its me.... but looking at Serato like what the hell is this!? hhhahah great vid

[@eklektek5032]

There are settings to make all shortcuts the same as serato. There are also skins to make it look and feel like serato.

[@Salsuero]

It's not more or less comfortable. It's a matter of comfort level. When you're used to it, you're used to it. Anything else is foreign. They're both equally complicated and not complicated. You just get used to things and then you're gold.

[@Cedricson]

Virtual DJ is super tight man! I really do credit them for their ability to support so many controllers and on top of that allow changing the mappings on most of those controllers. I broke a tempo slider, and it sucked but with a little tweaking I was able to unbind it and instead manipulate the BPM via the pads, I gotta say I'm better working the BPM using the pads since my tempo sliders are freaking tiny, never liked them anyway. That's the wonderful thing about VDJ is that you can make it 100% personal to you. This is why it's my favorite.

[@fireflamezdjflamez2966]

Virtual DJ is the best DJ software on the market .I know this because I use .traktor.serato . djay pro.djuce and rekordbox .and none compare to vdj.

[@lucianambassador]

This video is hilarious. I like the fact that this man knew nothing about the software and did a review on the fly. lol lol. Man making virtual dj look soooo complicated when it really isn't. Virtual DJ does alot more than Serato and that's why it may seem complicated to someone who never used it before. It takes times to learn all what VDJ can do that Serato cannot. Love the video still though. lol lol. Good vibe.

[@sana-cm7oc]

VDJ should hire you to optimize their system.

[@hardkore360]

VDJ has skins and had stems long before the Serato 3.0 update. Its all a matter of preference but VDJ just offers so many user configurable options that Serato does not. But the main issue for Serato (for me) is that you need a fairly decent laptop to use the software as it is a resource hog. VDJ can run on a potato laptop with no issues.

[@jackmercer4244]

potato laptop, yum..lol serato is bloated and slow lol

[@superdjorlando]

Nice vid tutorial, it took a bit to figure out the functions of virtual dJ and I must say it has advantages over Serato, one thing I notice was I could use any streaming sites at the same time, that blew me away because everything is at my fingertips. I’m still learning and love it. Thank you for the demo

[@DjPositiveP]

I believe you didn't need to use lexicon! VDJ reads your serato crates automatically in the crates folder. Also under options type "fx" and select the post-fader fx vs pre-fader.

[@akycent1]

hes taken 8years... so he's completely green about vdj improvements...

[@Keadwikead]

My thoughts exactly

[@TheSocaVault]

Yes I was going to say this as well. 1st time I opened VDJ, all the serato crates were there plus the cue points.

[@DjPositiveP]

@@TheSocaVault yea! Serato Djs should all have VDJ as a backup in case they encounter non-serato hardware.. I like that I can Dj with Rekordbox Djs & Serato Djs on whatever hardware

[@ericbarber3185]

dj cee b the only reason vdj is pricey is because the video software comes free and plays all video formats, unlike serato only mkv and mp4, or you have to convert the format, oh plus serato video u have to pay for. there is alot u can do with vdj, like you can still mix with vdj w/o a controller, while serato is only a player. plus u n change ur interface to match ur hardware. but like i said before i have both, but mostly use vdj.

[@ulbhanoradegonde3847]

Trailing stop in the fx edit tab just press the small plus sign to open on the echo or delay effect

[@MARS_118]

I tryed Virtual DJ Pro once with an overlay that fits the controller, it really blew my mind. You should try an overlay for your Setup. I don´t like Serato. Rekordbox is ok to use but too much micromanagment, hiding buttons and options that could set wrong. Still need to investigate Traktor.

[@Joey59101]

I use VDJ extensively if you want a call I can show you some tips on it. The configuration can be confusing but the options when setup can make it pretty good.

[@MrJojonino]

Can you help me please!

[@mikecast20]

Great first look! Almst everything like post fader sounds can be adjusted in the settings!

[@RandomRoger]

I think that it just seems overwhelming because there are so many options. It's the most flexible DJ software in existence. You can totally remap the functions on your hardware. You can even get skins that like you said resemble serato, or skins that look like your actual hardware setup. There are also plugins for free that you can install as well. It's so versatile it's ridiculous. Side note, I prefer the pro layout the essentials layout is okay but the pro version just feels right LOL

[@TomTom-gn9mp]

This is very intuitive for people that never used any DJ software before.

[@ALTERNATIVEMIXTAPES]

You did good figuring it out for your first time. I’d love to see another video. I have a custom interface I can give you as well.

[@DJstraty]

VDj is really cool as you get to understand the whole program...not bad for a first timer

[@dracoyslom7309]

many of you dj's doesn't understand both software but when you do you will surely know which one is better by choice either loud music or crisp sound

[@djqwik]

I don’t think he should have made a video until he knew what he was doing somewhat. First off, virtual dj reads serato crates, so you don’t need any additional software. Second I would have changed to the pro skin. Just this entire video looks like her has never touched Virtual dj until the video.

[@imk1744]

"Ohhhh my tiny brain, this is waaaaaay toooo complicated" my god just stick to serato than... i use serato vdj rekordbox and traktor and i prefer vdj

[@djsky2k8]

Great video dude, I use both software and I must say Virtual DJ in the last 2 years has taken a slight advantage over Serato. Serato feels more clunky than the old scratch live

[@this.is.music.and.me.oliver]

Using Serato since 2007 (before using Vinyl & Cds, DJing since 1996), never had the wish to change to an other App...and i do over 100 Gig a Year. never had any Problems.

[@fireflamezdjflamez2966]

You can't judge the book by the cover.virtual DJ is more easy to use than serato.virtual DJ can do everything serato do .and serato cannot do lot of things vdj can do .get to know vdj and you'll see 👍🏿

[@DJCEE_B]

Yeah this was literally open up and have a first look. No research or anything. Over the next few weeks I’m gonna deep dive into this software

[@mysteriousoklahoma777]

Virtual DJ is superior in every way.

[@ALTERNATIVEMIXTAPES]

You can echo out by searching for the word post fader in settings.

[@tinnitusuk]

Shame the video opened with a misguided comparison. VDJ is more expensive but feature wise is comparable to Serato DJ Pro Suite which is 14.99 USD a month, not the 9.99 tier. However to buy it outright VDJ is 299 Vs 449 for Serato Pro DJ Suite, which surely was worth pointing out?

[@dirkcornelisashleytaljaard6673]

no its not complicated you just more time with the programme then i can promise you will love it. just as you are used to serato is exactly why you feel comfortable with it, is because you have used it for a long time. virtual dj file reading is excellent finding songs finding folders are awsome and not complited for eg rekordbox. you just need the time on the programme

[@djaccold]

Yes love it. Do more of these for V DJ

[@djmcprof2473]

Virtual dj is way more easy to use than serato dj pro....I think u need a good Mastery for all the softwares to clearly explain the lapses ..I mean no disrespect....

[@djp3ma280]

You don’t have to use lexicon, virtual dj can read serato crates. On the side folder there’s already crates before you used lexicon. Virtual dj can read rekordbox playlist as well. You don’t have to use lexicon. Just take your time and explore more, you’ll be shocked that in every feature VDJ performs better than serato.

[@swissivory]

Bro your reactions are priceless 😂

[@patrickdekok4083]

Serato users say always Serato is better, but my first DJ software was Serato and now i use Virtual DJ pro 20:15 and i say Virtual DJ pro is better for me.

[@DJMaSoySauce]

Extremely helpful! Thank you!

[@Wario_Bruno]

Hi, I've used Serato and Virtual Dj for years and the first thing I've loved in VDJ was that it reads my Crates directly with all my cue points. I can't understand why you passed out to open the Crates tab and find all your music before conversion. Anyway I love the way VDJ let me decide how much separation between stems during mix, but they are focused on two different kind of DJs, mixing vs scratching.

[@RayHolman-e5o]

Right his crates from serato would automatically be in vdj

[@artzag75]

​@@RayHolman-e5o I can see my Serato crates natively in VDJ, but not my Serato Cue points 😢 What am I doing wrong?..

[@outofcontrol821]

BTW you didn't need lexicon.. yoy can open your serato crates with having to use a different software also. They were already there the whole time... with virtual the database will remember every folder you open within vdj you can just look for the song instead of trying to remember what crate it's in..

[@CraziWolf559]

The echoer out is in [crossfader settings] when u switch to the opposite side it engages for you but that's another video. took me some time to get it all setup to engage at the right time and intensity. :)

[@argoGR]

I just don't get why you should use the cmd+left/right shortcut from the keyboard, and you don't use s9's BROWSE knob that's designed to do just that. I think you can save some seconds there. The thing is that i've seen this loading also from a lot others using s9. Is there aproblem using the 2 seperate browse knob on s9?

[@Nuevex]

If you have the driver already installed you dont need to re install for another dj program. in the case you dont have the driver installed youll need to install anyway dosent matter if is Serato or VDJ. peace!

[@DJCEE_B]

Ahhh that’s good to know. Thanks!

[@BerryUnusual]

As someone who have been spinning in VDJ for the last 15 years it's always interesting to see other coming from Serato or Rekordbox. I'll say it is overwhelming if it's not the ecosystem you're used to. It's 100 percent worth going through all the settings and dialing in everything exactly how you like it. The slicer will be more snappy with quantize turned to 1/8th. I'd love to see you do a more in depth vid once you've had time to get familiar with the software and unlock its full potential. VDJ has full write ups on their website if you need anything explained as well as the VDJ community is always willing to help ( me being one of them ) cheers. As for the price when you look at base Serato vs VDJ there are key features missing in Serato that you have to step up to a more expensive version to get when VDJ gives you the world and more at one set price.

[@DJCEE_B]

Thanks for your comment bro. I am 100% going to be deep diving into this software and doing more in depth videos!

[@QRS365]

Remember BDJ is lifetime with lifetime updates. VDJ is not complicated. It’s just that once you are accustomed to one particular software transition to another software gonna be kinda tingling. The only thing I dislike VDJ for is the lack of effects

[@rjmn1]

Serato user, but when you take into account all the features on virtual dj- and the controllers it works on, and the fact that ive tried it now- its a pretty damn good software i must say❤

[@Geraldskyers]

I switched to VDJ years ago and I won’t go back to serato. It’s not as taxing on your CPU. It has all of serato features and more. The signal processing is better. Try changing the layouts to professional and you can make it mimic serato in every way without the strain on the cpu. If you need more info let me know.

[@Tesnopesno]

I never managed to play with virtual dj or serato, touch was just very different and very weird for me. I think virtual dj is very flexible though. you can throw in skins, map all the buttons etc. In Traktor I have my own mappings for many buttons and jog wheels have been adjusted to fit my mixing. then again, video tells clearly that softwares aren't interchangeable without some adjusting.

[@djtyme2446]

I have both Virtual for home it is so much fun. Seerato for a gig it does a great job.

[@ALTERNATIVEMIXTAPES]

I don’t think VDJ is as complex as Recordbox. You were starting with the default interface. I find Serato to be more difficult because you can’t right click on anything in Serato and I found myself reading documentation to figure out basic tasks.

[@ricenpearoy7024]

This was a good video. I definitely think you would feel a lot more comfortable with VDJ after you had a play. One thing to remember it's a video dj software too. So you're able to make your own video mixes to go with you tracks.

[@househeadspeakz]

I started with Virtual DJ. I purchased the Pioneer WeGO4 with VDJ. I didn't understand Rekordbox at the time and was told the Virtual DJ was good software for beginning DJs. I used up I upgraded to the DDJ 400. I made the move so I can learn Rekordbox and start playing outside my apt. I had no issues with using VDJ but it's been a while since I use it. It wasn't as busy as it is now and it was more user-friendly. I currently use the DDJ 800 which I love. I got used to Rekordbox so I can't see myself returning back to VDJ. I know some DJs who have and was pleased with the move. I couldn't do it. Virtual DJ is pricey. With the amount you pay a month, you could get a DDJ 400 (if you are starting out) and Rekordbox will be free.

[@charithasirimanna5033]

some notes. a great review for someone just coming in and starting on VDJ fresh, appreciate that man. serato is ala carte pricing, VDJ give full features for that price, so it seems higher but if u add up the expansion packs and everything else to get serato full featured it does come up to a lot more. secondly the hardware support is basically pretty much 99% of all controllers or HID capable hardware in VDJ. vs serato needs licensed products to be compatible. in terms of complicated yes it very much far feature rich than serato, u can set cue point, u just need to change the layout of the interface. effects u can set post fader or pre fader in the settings, but the VDJ effects are not great and that we all have to agree on. its a lot if ur coming from any other software like serato or RB or engine. but if u do a lot of mobile events and u want to organize and plan shit out VDJ does lot of it, but its an effort to learn, u can even change the EQ frequencies if u want to, i once used it at a private event where the room had bad acoustics. play around with it man, its a great sw to have in the laptop for any emergencies with Serato, i learned that very early, and i am basically software and hardware agnostic now, i keep serato RB and VDJ all in one laptop. there was 2 times where the laptop in the club failed and there was no other choice but to use VDJ for the rest of the night for even the other DJ that was on, coz it failed on his set.

[@charithasirimanna5033]

Also the library there are options on the side to clean that view up if u only want to see music folders and nothing else

[@RichardArtimix]

Why you closed the File-info panel on the right side of the browser (05:36) ?! Without opening the Tag Editor, you can well edit comment field contents right from there, also can rate the track and edit some other fields in the drop-down-menu way. Most importantly, the pre-listen fuction is right there, it lets you pre-listen to the track in browser without first loading it on the decks. (Can also pre-listen tracks on streaming services without loading to decks and more) Serato users should hate it very much so why didn't you show it?! Haha Anyways, I like watching your other videos very much, keep up the good work! :)

[@GregMurrayEnt1]

I have used Serato for the past 30 years. I started using VDJ in 2020. I like them both. VDJ takes a little longer to get started, but it offers more features than Serato. It also has better video controls than Serato. Serato sounds best.

[@djvinyltouch]

You might want to revise the first line (Serato as a company was established in 1998) and so is max 26 years old at time of your post (the first available version of Scratch Live I think came out early to mid 2000s). The other two are opinions I respect (but don't necessarily agree with especially the first...from my and most i'other DJs in my circle's experience, Serato always took very long to startup and shutdown, VDJ just starts almost immediately). However, they both work well once tuned.

The user experience improves with a better skin. Update to the latest version and try out some different skins. I agree about the software fx though. I've been using vdj for 20 years and I still don't use them. I prefer the hardware fx on my Roland

I‘m also a Serato user, who switched months ago to vdj Pro. With a few adjustments (FX, Keyboard mapping, Layout aso.) the software is just so mighty! I do all my track organization within Serato as crates are automatically imported and no other software is needed. Btw. Wherever I have newer supported hardware in the clubs I prefer Serato, but when I have older gear which was only supported within scratch live or when I need to use my controller VDJ is the first choice! I would recommend VDJ especially for wedding DJs, as you can fast change your gear without worry about any connection issues.

Is this mainly for 'flair' ..looks so faaaast man like a more complex way to make the same sound.

[@DJARIG1]

Good day DJ CEE B. Next time b4 doing any video comparising on softwares or hardware i would love u take a deep dive into such products. VirtualDJ is not a TOY software and i would like to correct you that"VDJ is not COMPLICATED but COMPREHENSIVE, in the sense that its come with a lot to do about if you are willing to expand your knowledge in djing or you are willing to make your DJ hardware work in a different way other than the out of the box i.e (MAPPING). You can mapp either the software or your hardware to work to your taste. 1.From just few minutes of your video we can observe the hate you have about VDJ. VDJ is the most used and downloaded software in the world. 2. Many digital DJs both professional, amature and beginer djs started with VDJ because its free to download b4 moving over to the PRO version when you are satisfied also b4 crossing to other software like Serato if they wish. I have been on VDJ since 2010 and absolutely satisfy. VDJ is software friendly interface in the sense that when you mouse over on the software it tells you where you are and what that buttons, knob e.t.c stands for whereas on the other its not so. VDJ is cheeper to Serato in the sence that once you pay liecence it means you have paid forever no additional cost like yearly update or upgrade. Update, Upgrade and Expansions are free year in year out no extra cost. 3. PostFader, PreFader whatever is optional>Settings>Options>Fader and the answer is Fx-Processing. The most interesting thing is that mouse over this options in the SETTINGS it explains the character or behaviour of it. 4. I have never see any VDJ users making videos to destroy or belittle Serato but its always the other way round all over KZbin, Facebook , they 4got years ago they started thier digital life VDJ, is like eating the hands that fed you. 5. A reminder to us all whatever SERATO does today, VDJ has been doing it maybe a year ago or years ago. The Serato sees it and after a long while they copy and develop it for example just a few, the use of only LAPTOP or PC for DJing and STEM. The use of only computers for djing has been for DECADES with VDJ before Serato joined the cue about 3 or 4 years ago when they named it SERATO PRO. STEMS have been on VDJ i think a year now b4 SERATO joined the club and the Serato guys are loud again on the media OH! SERATO STEM! SERATO STEM!! SERATO STEM vs VDJ STEM. I look @ them like RUSSIA & the AMERICAN. The American have it but silence about it, the Russian have and they want to EXPLODE the world😄😄😄😄😄. Quietly I have compared the sounds on both and VDJ is more detail, same track with headphones. The only thing i see lacking with VDJ are the fx 6. Above all VDJ is a TESTING GROUND for all DJ SOFTWARES out there. Thanks.

Maybe Lexicon can help me use my VDJ playlist in Serato.

Virtual dj is like Android you can customize it to your liking not like serato. Two different software is like android vs apple so next time please to your research before you critique the most Powerful DJ software on Earth

Will you demo the stems on your set up for both vdj and sdj

[@Only1retro]

you dont need that lexicon, vdj transfers your crates automatically

[@djvandutch4371]

You can echo out using the fade just go in virtual DJ settings and click on option in the search bar type fx Also try out virtual DJ stems
