  • A lot of people why I use Virtual DJ over Serato or Rekordbox. The answer goes a long way back.

    Regarding VDJ vs Serato, I agree with you. It's like Nike vs Adidas or Android vs Apple. It's a matter of preference and people always want to be right.

    i love what u said about the software.whatever works for you! most of the time we see at others and be like "ah he is playing with this or that thus he is not a professional" . It doesn't matter. what matters is delivering a performance for your crownd and keeping them happy.Whether you are playing with virtual or serato or trakrot thats what matters!
    cheers!

    Great video, it's true, use what works for you - software or hardware. The issue is more about when you have to use other people or standard "club" equipment... it's easier if you already know the setup. For those that only ever dj on their own stuff, it's not an issue to worry about.

  • @TheRealDjMikeStone
    @TheRealDjMikeStone Před rokem

    Awesome video. I use virtual DJ myself because it’s simple for me. Just out of curiosity what kind of laptop do you use. I actually am using an iPad and would like to convert to a laptop. Love the way you have your system set up. I just picked up on your channel and I’m loving the videos. Keep it up! -djmike 🎤

    I have a quick question about the adjustable totems. I know you’re not using a true moving head on top, but if you were, how would you counteract the totem from swaying? I’ve noticed the totem can be easily swayed, especially at a taller height.

    Hey bro! I'm pretty new to the game. I have used VDJ from the start. I'm at a crossroads where I need to decide to stick with this or go to Serato.
    I like VDJ what is the benefit of paying the $299 for the professional version?
    Awesome set up btw 😀

    • @djtravismcguire
      @djtravismcguire  Před 2 lety +2

      The benefit to paying for the full version of VDJ is that you will never have to pay for it again. All updates are free (including when VDJ updates the entire software) and you don't have to buy additional expansion packs like some of the other softwares. People can argue this all they want, but the data speaks for itself. VDJ is the most powerful DJ software on the planet.

      That what ur calling a toy has way more features than the other, which says to me which is more professional. An entry level controller only has so much options compared to a professional controller and the same principle applies in software.
