Virtual Turntables, most commonly known as VTT, is the first ever software program for Windows which allows real time MP3 mixing. Virtual Turntables has revolutionised the DJ scene for both professional and hobby DJ players, by supporting the standard MP3 format as a DJing option. This software gives the DJ the convenience of either gathering music from any available source all over the internet, or converting your favourite tracks from a CD.

The Virtual Turntable gives you the power of a professional DJ performance in a single jewel case, or just a notebook computer and a few CDs. Your standard real DJ turntable, like the Vestax Handytrax, is not half as manageable size-wise. It has an amazing user interface and is very easy to use and learn. Whenever any MP3 song is loaded in the program, an interface which is quite similar to the DJ CD deck appears on the screen. Each of the loaded MP3 songs has its own interface which allows the DJ to control the pitch or tempo of that particular song. It gives the DJ the freedom to move the position of the song, either front or back, using nudge buttons.

This software also features virtual Jog Wheels, but if you want to change the option, you can choose from three included skins. The Virtual Turntable is a step beyond the traditional turntables. You can store all the characteristics like cue point, beats per minute, notes and volume for each song initially and later recall them without any effort. In order to give a professional sound, the DSP effects such as echo, equaliser, volume equalisation and reverb can be easily applied. You can either create the playlist or put it into autodj mode for automatic mixing. Last, but not the least, this software can match the BPM between two songs.

To conclude, Virtual turntable is a shareware application which takes you to the next level of DJing.

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.
