VirtualDJ Version 5.0: A DJ's Paradise

As a resident DJ, I've had the pleasure of using VirtualDJ for over a year and half now, and I must say it has been a game-changer for my performances. Of course, one of the features that initially drew me to VirtualDJ was the ability to store hundreds of MP3 songs on my PC, eliminating the need to lug around heavy CD cases.

Another feature that I've found incredibly useful is the ability to record and save multiple Cue points per song. This means I don't have to redefine my Cue points during each performance, which can be a real time-saver. The loop function (available in 4, 8, 16, and 32 beat increments) has also been a lifesaver when I need to quickly get back into the groove.

I'm also a big fan of the different skins available for VirtualDJ. Everyone has their own taste, but I personally love the Pioneer CDJ 700 skin because it shows me everything I need at a glance. The Magicbeat function makes synchronization incredibly easy, especially towards the end of a long set when I'm running low on energy.

One of the things that sets VirtualDJ apart from other software is its precision and simplicity. The sync function is rock-solid, and the Matcher window is hands-down the best I've ever used. The song search engine is also incredibly powerful and easy to navigate.

As for what I like the most about VirtualDJ, it's got to be the overall package. From the GUI to the simplicity of the software itself, everything just works together seamlessly. And as a resident DJ who uses VirtualDJ every weekend, I can attest that it's been a huge boon for my performances.

In terms of hardware and software configuration stability, I've had no major issues with VirtualDJ. Of course, there was a bit of a learning curve at first, but nothing too difficult to overcome. The overall configuration is relatively straightforward - I simply connected my PC via USB2, hooked up my Stanton mixer and external Aureon sound card, and fired up the software.

I did encounter one minor issue during installation, but it was easily resolved with some troubleshooting. As for incompatibility problems, I haven't had any major issues with VirtualDJ and my other equipment.

In professional usage, I use VirtualDJ to mix tracks every weekend, and I've found that it integrates seamlessly with my other gear (mixing console, preamp, etc.). My system specs are as follows: Asus motherboard, Pentium 4 Dual core 3.8 GHz processor, and 1 Gb of RAM.

All in all, VirtualDJ Version 5.0 has been a fantastic addition to my arsenal of DJing tools. With its powerful features, user-friendly interface, and rock-solid stability, I highly recommend it to any serious DJ looking to take their performances to the next level.
