DJs may be a dime-a-dozen in the real world, but virtual DJing is different. Virtual DJs are able to play any genre of music that you like and mix them together seamlessly to create an awesome dance party, just for you.

What is Virtual DJ?
Virtual DJ is the most popular software for DJs and music producers. Virtual DJ offers a wide range of features, including waveform displays, beat matching and scratching tools, automatic mixing functions with crossfader control, time-stretching algorithms to accommodate live mixes that go longer than planned, sound effects like flangers and echo/reverb effects.
It allows the user to mix music and has many features such as crossfader, in-built sound effects, iTunes library integration, live audio recording and playback capability etc. The DJ can create custom mixes by adding or removing elements from songs with ease. You have the option of changing the speed, pitch, and tempo of each track as well as adding effects like echo.
One of its powerful functions is that it also supports third party plugins for extending functionality even further!
You will need to know how to use turntables if you want this application because there are no visual controls on screen–just manual ones like we’re used to seeing at clubs or live events. If you do not have any experience in mixing then VirtualDJ would be challenging but still worth trying out.
