Members redcard Posted February 22, 2009 Members Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hello Everyone, I'm an experienced Blues/Funk/Rock Guitarist interested in experimenting with a DJ Software. I besides Blues, Funk and Rock I love House & Deep House Electronic music.. I want to learn how to spin records, but before I spend a fortune on DJ Equipment, I want to learn the basics with a DJ Program.Is there one that some people recommend over the others? Let me know.

Some people deride Virtual DJ, and it seems to have the same reputation as FL Studio in regards to how "professional" a tool it is, but you can certainly get the idea behind beat matching and the like while using it.

Members Zandermusic Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 I second Traktor for just using mp3's and serato if you want to use turntables and digital encoded vinyl. Theres a free demo version of traktor which works fully for 30 mins. Just start it up after 30 mins. Great fun. Traktor demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DJ Spek Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 Serato is the only way to go. I've used almost every DVS system out there, and they're all {censored}, especially M-Audio Torq for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking, since many house djs seem to be heavily moving towards CDJ spinning at the least, plus more and more going to "laptop" systems and avoiding vinyl formats.

Members DJ Gonzo Posted September 5, 2009 Members Share Posted September 5, 2009 I run with: - Serato Scratch Live and Video SL Plug-in- Virtual DJ Both of the above are great programs. My advice to you, at this point, download some of these programs and give them a try before you buy. What may work well for you may not work well for someone else. There are many programs out there, but as pointed out above, Serato Scratch Live is the "club" standard. If you do decide to pick up the work and fun as a Disc Jockey, what type of events do you see yourself DJing for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
