Virtual DJ Studio gives you a mixer-board interface. Each line offers things you would expect from a typical mixer -- volume fader, mute, crossfader assignment, etc. Additionally, each line contains an MP3/WAV/Karaoke player, with all of the controls you might expect -- including a Pitch/Tempo control. If you have two or more sound cards/audio devices, you can route any line to your secondary device, for headphone preview or beat-matching. Alternatively, you might use this feature to simply allow more control with your external mixer.
New: Full Karaoke Support!
Imagine that you are hosting a Karoke gig. Imagine that you have the next five songs ready to go, each in its
own player. Imagine that someone decides they want to sing. Imagine that you pull up their song in seconds,
and they are able to sing right now. Imagine that the Karaoke lyrics are displayed on top of a
custom background image of your choice (perhaps your logo, or a holiday-inspired image),
instead of the plain-old solid color you're used to. Imagine that
you are able to adjust the key, pitch, and tempo for the user, and even correct the sync if a
scratched CD is used.
The days of hunting down a Karaoke CD, finding the right track, and having only one or two singers queue'd up are gone! With a Laptop or Desktop/Tower PC, a large hard disk (external USB or internal), and a decent video card (one offering S-Video or TV output), you can replace not only your CD players; you can eliminate the need for cases of CDs, and take up less space than you ever imagined!
Be sure to read through our new Karaoke Tutorial for detailed information on how to get the most out of Virtual DJ Studio's exclusive Karaoke features.
A small table with your computer and a mixer is all that is needed. You can pull up music quickly, and mix it professionally; you can have customers' Karaoke songs ready far in advance; most importantly, you can spend less time hunting down CDs, and more time being personable with your customers. Pulling up a song request or Karaoke title has never been easier or faster. Customers will notice this, and will subconciously see you as a better DJ than those still using CDs -- especially with Karaoke, where customers are used to waiting 10 minutes for the DJ to locate and queue up their song.
VDJ gives you all of this and much more. You can queue up singers with the Singers List window, along with the name of each singer; this makes it much easier to determine who's up next, and eliminates the problem of remembering customers' names. VDJ will even display the next 10 singers (and the songs they plan to sing) on the Television screen during breaks. No more digging through request slips to figure out who's up next. No more re-ordering slips when a singer isn't ready yet.
Custom background images is a unique feature: no other Karaoke program give you this much control. Lyrics are displayed on top of any JPG, GIF, BMP or PNG image you like. You can even have VDJ automatically darken the image when lyrics are being displayed, for easy readability. The image fades down to 33% brightness when a Karaoke file is being played, and fades back up to 100% when playback is stopped. All of these features can be changed during use, without interrupting playback at all.
When using ZIP or KZ files, you can even include a custom background image to be displayed for specific Karaoke files (think Christmas songs, Irish (St. Patty's Day) music, etc).
Supported Karaoke Formats
You can either play an MP3 that has a corresponding .CDG file, or you can play directly from a ZIP file. VDJ does this directly, with no need to create temporary files (like most other programs do). VDJ is the only Karaoke system that lets you seek while directly playing a ZIP or MP3 file, without ever losing sync! ZIP files are handled the same as any other file format, with no slowness or adverse behavior, since VDJ uncompresses ZIP files internally, on an as-needed basis.New: VDJ now supports ZIP files that are renamed to KZ files. By renaming your ZIP files to have a KZ extension, you no longer have to worry about Windows slowing down when you enter your Karaoke directory (Windows XP tends to analyze any ZIP file it encounters, which can be very slow in a directory containing thousands of ZIP files).
See this page for more detailed information on VDJ's Karaoke support.
No other Karaoke package delivers this many features.
Click on the image above to see a full-sized picture of VDJ in action. You will quickly see how VDJ is different from other DJ software. Laid out like a Mixer, each Line features a full MP3, WAV, Karaoke, and Playlist player, each with its own Volume Fader, Pitch/Tempo control, and more.
You can select how many Lines appear on VDJs interface. You can configure as many lines as will fit on your screen.
Singers List
Even though VDJ looks different from other Karaoke programs, it still contains a Singer's List feature. When enabled, you can queue up any number of songs, along with the name of the person who wishes to sing it. From there, you can drag a song into a line in VDJ, or simply double-click to launch the file in the first line. VDJ will also display a list of singers/songs in the CDG window when no karaoke file is being played (for example, if your CDG window is connected to a second monitor, television, or multiple TVs, your patrons will know who's up next, and when their song will be up).Easy to Use
Don't be intimidated by the number of buttons you see in the picture. If you have a knack for audio equipment, you will quickly pick up on VDJs use. VDJ comes with a complete Help file, including a Getting Started guide that will have you mixing MP3s in no time!Headphone Support
VDJ allows you to use an extra sound card for CUEing, or Previewing, a sound file. You can use this feature to assist with beat-mixing (fading two songs together on-beat), or for simply previewing a song before playing it live. Many DJs use their laptop's built-in sound for previewing (since the quality of the internal sound chip is often lacking), and an external USB audio device for their main mix. This configuration allows you the flexibility you are used to with dual CD decks and an external mixer; just like a real mixer, enabling the CUE button routes that line to the headphone output (eg, to your Secondary Sound Card).Plugin Support
VDJ now offers Plugin support. Third parties can contribute audio processing
plugins that can be used within VDJ's Plugin Manager. VDJ comes with
a few Plugins as well, including a Compressor/Limiter,
a Low-Pass Filter, and Stereo Expansion.
So how much will all of this cost?
Virtual DJ Studio is available for only $39.95 (new low price) for a full two computer license. Unlike most other software, VDJ can be used on up to two separate PCs owned by the licensee. We recognize that many DJs have a desktop system as well as a mobile rig; our license allows you to use VDJ on both systems (up to two computers) without fear of violating the license agreement, as long as both PCs are owned by the licensee (and are not used for commercial purposes at the same time).More details are available here.
While other DJ software may cost anywhere from $200 up to $800, VDJ offers more features for less money. Most of VDJ's features are unique, and more new features will appear in the future.
