Most mixing software is designed to suit any particular controller, but Deckadance is quite unique in this aspect, it works well with all MIDI controllers and time coded vinyl systems. For example, it can be used with either the Mackie Control Extender Pro or the Behringer B-Control Rotary BCR2000, or any other number of controllers. This mixing software has not only succeeded in hosting any VST compliant effect or softsynth, but can also act as a VST itself inside any host.

It has an amazing and easy-to-learn user interface. Everything in the software is very concise and clear, all the details of any button are clearly are clearly explained when highlighted. After simply installing the software, you need to give the details regarding the sound card and the time coded vinyl or cd controller you are using, and then it’s all set to roll.

Deckadance delivers amazing sound quality with the bundled effects and an onboard equalizer with three kill switches, plus three sliders. In addition to these extensive features, deckadance has this unique ability to control the lighting system, supported by digital multiplex with a DMX sequencer, although this will be an optional feature.

Deckadance is undoubtedly an ultimate DJ mixing application, which can run in dual mode, either as a standalone program or as a VST plug-in inside your favourite host. And, most importantly, it can be easily controlled using the mouse, keyboard and almost all time coded vinyl systems and cd systems.

Virtual DJ is the latest and the most sizzling MP3 mixing software available for all professional and semi-professional (bedroom) DJs. It is used by millions of DJs around the world, especially in big clubs, discotheques and house parties. It features an advanced BeatLock engine which helps in keeping the entire collection of songs in tune and in the best form possible. In addition to this, it also helps by mixing the songs incredibly fast.

The latest synchronized sampler, in addition to the flawless loop engine, allows DJs to give outstanding remixes for live performances; even without any kind of initial preparation. Despite typically offering better sound quality, using a real professional mixer or DJ turntable like the Numark TTUSB, is far more intricate, involved and time consuming. This system, on the other hand, is perfectly suited for today’s fast moving and busy world where instant gratification is always sought. During the remixes the DJ can monitor the song’s structure with the help of visual representations, and cues, thereby avoiding the chances of unnecessary and abrupt breaks.

Virtual DJ is quite compatible with the time coded vinyl controls. Vinyl controls allow you to scratch as if on a real disc spinner or turntable. The advanced BeatLock engine in this Virtual DJ makes sure that these scratches (made with the help of vinyl control) are always in tune and synchronised.

Several interfaces can be used to suit either professionals or first-timers, record mixes and burn them on a CD, rip vinyl, create your own internet radio, rip DVDs, automatically mix playlists and so on. Last but not the least; Virtual DJ also facilitates the mixing of video clips (DVD, DivX, and MPEG) for viewing on a larger screen.

Bottom line, the Virtual DJ is an all in one a package deal, which not only is easy to use but also within a reasonable price range.
