Want to be a DJ ? Give VirtualDJ a shot

If you have any interest in becoming a DJ but don't want to spend any money on buying expensive equipment, then Virtual DJ is just for you. All you need is a computer and some skills and you're good to go.

Virtual DJ is an audio mixing software that's used by DJs to replace their turntables and CD players, as it mimics real disc jockey equipment. You can import MP3 songs and combine sounds with multi-layer tracks. It lets you mix your songs by playing two or more tracks at the same time and adjust their relative speed so that their tempo will match. You can apply effects like loops etc, and crossfade from one side to the other. It also lets you scratch your songs, set and recall cues, and all the other regular features DJs expect to find to be able to mix. However, you need to have knowledge about sound editing and mixing. VirtualDJ can play not only audio tracks, but also video or karaoke, if you connect your computer to a projector.


VirtualDJ is used by tens of millions of people every day, ranging from bedroom DJs to international superstars. It is used to play live in clubs and big stadiums, at weddings, private parties, or just to train at home. And in addition to being used live, VirtualDJ can also be used to record mixtapes, podcast, or to broadcast to Internet radios. It provides two ways for DJs to broadcast their mix sets to the internet. With the built in radioserver in the software a DJ can broadcast from his own computer by publishing a link generated by the software, that streams the mix played. The software can also broadcast to a webradio that runs Shoutcast or Icecast servers.

VirtualDJ is free, if you are not using it professionally, and do not use any professional equipment like a USB DJ controller, or a DJ mixer, but if you're a professional and looking for extra features, there are other plans ranging from $49 - $299 per license or you could become a pro subscriber by paying $19/month.
