DJuced is a great tool, it has everything you need to start djing, use fx and etc...

But sometimes it might be a little too scary for beginners due the large amount of buttons, menus, configurations and it also does not come with any songs on it.

I’ve been a DJ for 7 years and a teacher for 4 and I’m also a game developer, so I decided to create a game that has the main functionalities from DJuced and Rekordbox and even DJ Controllers MIDI connection, but inserts gamification and interactive learning on the process.

So even 100% beginners can learn step by step how to do some basic mixing in the Academy Mode and hopefully I’ll be able to replicate more and more functionalities and lessons into it.

The project is called DJ Life Simulator and this month I already sold custom game launchers to 3 big schools here in Brazil, that really liked the idea.

The game also has already over 4,000 downloads and is approaching 2,000 wishlists on Steam. We have over 30 partnered artists with licensed tracks in the game too.

So I’m here with you to hear your thoughts about which features are the most important to have in the game?

Which lessons are extremely important and would be very cool to learn interactively for me to add to the academy mode?

I know that a lot of gatekeepers are against gamification and don’t want djing to be any easier, but I try not to listen to them, since my target audience (Beginner DJs and DJ Schools) are heavily supporting the project, both finnancially and emotionally 🙂

My laptop is pretty capable of heavy lifting for VDJ. Is has a 16GB GPU (Ryzen 7) with 32G of built in RAM and a 1tb SSD. I purchased it simply for this work.

I want to fully leverage real time stems, especially as a selling point for the new karaoke feature, which is pretty awesome. But, when VDJ is processing stems, it hogs 100% of the GPU RAM for those 10 seconds, while the neural processing unit (which is designed exactly for this task) sits completely idle.

Has anyone figure out a way to force it to use that specialized chip yet? Or are we still a LONG ways out from "unlocking" these neural chips for external apps?

Beginner DJ, started with Virtual DJ, thought I liked it. To make changes in VDJ, it can be pretty intricate, have to know where to go to do it, etc.

Tried Rekordbox...and wow, what a huge difference. It is more intuitive and easier to use. Maybe its because I started on VDJ....but nonetheless, it feels so much easier to use that VDJ.

I ended my subscription with VDJ....now dedicating my time and learning on rekordbox....good move yes?

Hey guys, I was hoping somebody in this group might potentially have some insight on an issue I’m currently having with my VMS 4.0 DJ controller.

Recently when I went to turn it on it seems to no longer play any audio out of the outputs on the controller. I can get audio out of the computer if I sent that as the output but obviously that’s not the best quality audio nor what the controller is designed to do. I have tried multiple times to uninstall virtual DJ and reinstall it, as well as uninstalling the controller’s drivers and reinstalling them.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. I’m really at my wits end here.

Hello all - I recently learned to get seperate stems from .VDJstems files.

It gives me the usual 5 stems but when I then play the track via the 5 stem files, at certain parts of the track there is weird phasing sounds.

I'm guessing this is due to bleeding?

For example, the synth stems and vocal stems often overlap in frequencies so Im guessing that each stem file actually has more frequencies shared between them than in the original track.

My question is how can I minimize bleeding in stems?

In recent versions of VirtualDJ, the echo effect gets cut off instantly when the crossfader reaches 100% on the other deck. Previously, the echo tail would continue playing even after a full transition, which made echo-out transitions smoother. Now it only continues if the crossfader is slightly below 100% (e.g. 99%). I know there is an “Echo Out” effect, but it only works at the very end of the transition and doesn’t behave the same as letting the regular echo tail carry over.

STEMS EQ KNOBS REDUCES VOLUME OF OVERALL TRACK.

I’m having an issue with stems in VirtualDJ and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this or knows if it’s expected behaviour. ( I have seen older threads but no resolution)

I use the EQ knobs as stem controls (vocals/instruments etc). The issue is when I reduce something like the vocals using the knob, the overall energy/loudness of the remaining track also drops quite noticeably. It almost feels like the whole mix loses power rather than just removing the vocal element.

Id presume this is normal. However, if I use a pad button mapped to “Vocals Off”, the result sounds much cleaner and louder (how I would expect) — almost like the instrumental remains more intact and punchy.

So my questions are:

* Is this normal behaviour with stem EQ knob control in VirtualDJ? -
* Are the stem EQ knobs using a different type of processing compared to the pad actions?
* Is there a setting, mapper tweak, or stems quality option that can make the EQ knob behaviour sound closer to the cleaner “Vocals Off” pad result? 
* Could this be related to gain compensation, stem separation mode, or the way the knobs are attenuating frequencies/stems?

Using a Rane Four controller if that matters.

Thanks.
