VirtualDJ is one of the best -and most famous- music mixers we can install on a Windows computer, desktop, or laptop, today. It is a perfect platform for those who must work with music or want to make their first weapons within this segment, considering that it has many functions. Yet, it is unnecessary to pay anything for any of them, nor endure annoying advertisements.

In effect, this software is a powerful mixer for all types of music tracks; however, it is simple in its daily use, being a good choice for novice artists who want their first experience in this field. If what you intend is to be able to mix songs and generate your tracks like the professional DJs, probably starting with this program is a great decision.

The VirtualDJ interface is one of its key points, taking into account that it is enough to look at it to check how well differentiated both tracks are, with clear options and at a click distance, so as not to waste time looking for them. Just upload the songs that interest us to the session, and then we can send each song to one of the tracks since they are loaded in just a fraction of a second.

After loading each song on its respective plate, you will see that the console has all the functions we could consider basic in these cases. We are talking about the equalizers, the pitch controllers, and the loops. In this way, you can start making all the modifications you consider appropriate to each of the tracks in particular, and when you're done, it will be time to jump to the central console.

Within this single section for editing the tracks generated from both tracks, you can find other types of tools typical of DJs. There is the volume control, the crossfader, and many others. And in turn, you can use the graphs that clearly show you the highs and lows of each of the tracks on the same screen, so you can quickly and easily check if they are synchronized.

Then begins the use of the functions of this software for the new track created. Most of the traditional actions that a DJ performs are available right out of the box, such as applying effects and samples or performing scratch. Once you are happy with the result, you can download those mixes to your computer to share them with your friends or upload them to your social networks.

Taking into account one of the best features of this platform for users just starting in the field, we have to talk about the BPM automatic adjustment system. What this function does is take care, by itself, of the bass sync between the tracks we are playing. This makes the final sound much more harmonious, and we do not have to be aware of this detail.

On the other hand, we did not want to lose sight of that and allow us to record the contents we generate to transform them into new files; this software also offers a function to transmit all that we produce via the Internet. In this way, if you already have more extensive knowledge and want to start reaching the whole world with the music you make, you may be in the presence of a more interesting application.

These transmissions can be adapted to the needs of users. We can bet on transmission from computer to computer directly, through a radio server, or the generation of a podcast, which is so fashionable these days.

As a complement, meanwhile, this system has synchronization with other music applications that could be relevant, such as Shazam, the software developed to discover the names of the songs and performers of any song that is playing. This way, you can add to your tracks even those songs that are driving you crazy, and you don't know what they are called or who performs them.

You can also access the songs available in any of your cloud services, in case you don't want to download them to your computer, since this program offers the alternative to add tracks to each of your sessions. If you have a computer with little storage capacity or usually work with several computers, this is a substantial advantage that will allow you to save time and effort.

What is the best thing about VirtualDJ? Surely, if we had to highlight the quality of this program, we have to talk about how much it offers as a platform for DJs concerning how little it demands from any computer user. This program does not require us to have the latest model PC by far to work properly, and that is an advantage if you do not want to make a large investment until you are sure you enjoy mixing songs and sounds.

Our experience of using VirtualDJ has been highly positive. The program has been stable in loading and modifying the music tracks or other audio tracks we have uploaded. Even without having great knowledge of music mixing, we have quickly achieved some interesting results, which have encouraged us to keep trying in the future to take advantage of this platform.
