Harmonic mixing is when DJs mix tracks that are in compatible or matching keys, which makes for a more pleasing sounding mix or transition between two tracks. They both also support Digital Vinyl Systems (DVS) which allows DJs to mix with turntables by using timecode control vinyl. Still, both platforms have a wide range of compatible hardware produced by multiple manufacturers. Serato DJ Pro adopts more of an ecosystem model, where only officially supported hardware will plug and play with the software.
#VIRTUAL DJ PRO FREE SOFTWARE#
Virtual DJ strives to make their software compatible with as many different mixers, media players, and controllers as possible. When it comes to DJ hardware compatibility, Virtual DJ and Serato DJ Pro handle things differently. Virtual DJ has supported streaming for a while with services like Deezer, iDJPool, and Digitrax, and now SoundCloud and Beatport Link are also supported. If you have a subscription to SoundCloud Go+ or Tidal, you can search the massive online music collection directly from within Serato DJ Pro, and load a track the same way you would a track saved on your computer. Streaming has come to DJ software, and both Serato DJ Pro and Virtual DJ have support for it. Virtual DJ can also broadcast your set live over the Internet using Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, a radio server, and other live broadcast services. Both programs save your set histories, and allow you to record your sets.
If you have Serato crates saved on your laptop, Virtual DJ can also read them. It also includes tools like GeniusDJ and LiveFeedback that suggest tracks to play next, based on what you’re currently playing. Virtual DJ delivers essentially the same functionality with their virtual folders and filter folders. Crates can be nested inside each other to organise into subcrates, and a track can appear in more than one crate without making copies of the file. Serato DJ Pro users can make ‘crates’ of tracks, or ‘smart crates’ that automatically add all tracks in the library that match the set criteria. Library management is a crucial part of successful DJing, and both Serato DJ Pro and Virtual DJ have several tools for organising your digital music collection. In Day Mode, the software essentially inverts its colours, which makes it much easier to see the interface. This is perfect for when DJing outside in bright sunlight, which can make it difficult to see a dark themed DJ program on a glossy screen. One new feature that both Virtual DJ 2020 and Serato DJ Pro share is a Day Mode. Laptops with higher resolution displays can take advantage of the high-res display option, which delivers a sharper interface. There are panels for FX, sampler, and recording DJ sets. Serato DJ Pro maintains its signature interface design, which is still clean and easy to navigate. You can still customise many different aspects of the interface, choose between different layouts like Pro and Performance, change the colour and position of the scrolling waveforms, and even select different types of jogwheel displays.
#VIRTUAL DJ PRO FREE PROFESSIONAL#
Unlike previous versions of Virtual DJ, which opted for skeuomorphism and colourful elements, the 2020 interface is much more modern with its muted colours and flat design, and gives the entire software a significantly more professional feel. The most visible change to the 2020 version of Virtual DJ is the new user interface. We decided to take another look at the new versions of both of these DJ platforms, and see how they stack up against each other.
#VIRTUAL DJ PRO FREE UPGRADE#
Virtual DJ recently got a big upgrade and is now called Virtual DJ 2020, and Serato DJ Pro has also added several new features and improvements.
