Being a music addict and a part time DJ I am always on a look out for cool new tools that I can work my music with and Virtual DJ 5 is one tool that I had to check out. Though I didn’t buy the full version, I checked out the trial version which can be downloaded from their website and the experience that I had with mixing and looping with Virtual DJ 5 was awesome and I spent nearly 6 hours mixing some of my songs in it along with a Hercules Turntable.

Basic Features of Virtual DJ

Well as I told you I had a wonderful experience with it and I could do a lot of stuff with it, I downloaded a plugin called Beatgrid and it gave some nice effects to the song, it comes with the ability to scratch using mouse but I preferred using a turntable and did some smooth scratches and ofcourse the ability to loop with it was awesome. There are a lot of plugins available with it that can be downloaded. Skins can also be changed to make it look like real, I used the default skin.

Pricing of Virtual DJ

The makers of this software knew that it would become popular and hence they have put a price tag of 299$ on it, wow, 299$ for a tool to mix music on, yup I say don’t go for it if you are a home user cos this tool is targeted for the professional DJ’s. Home Users can have fun with the trial version that they give. I think the price of this software is the reason why it is so popular in warez sites.
