About Us


 

 

Curious how many video dj's are here on this site and what software/hardware everyone is using.
 

 

I've been VJing since the early 90's when everything was on VHS!

 

I'm going to start spinning videos and am trying to decide the best route to take. I've got Traktor and a Audio 8 box but that doesn't seem to help me with videos, unfortunately. Seems like I have two options: Serato Video or Virtual DJ. I'm looking for advice on which to get.

The club has a Serato box and discs already, so, I'd just need to get Scratch Live and the Serato Video plugin. Or, I could buy Virtual DJ. I'm used to using CDJs so not sure how comfortable I'd be with going straight-up laptop, auto-beatmixing with VDJ. My Mac laptop meets the requirements for both packages. Virtual DJ is about $300, and it seems the plugin for SV is $150 (can't find a price for just the Scratch Software, assuming no charge.) Cost isn't that important, rather have what's best for videos.

Scratch Live is a vinyl emulation software

application created by New Zealand based

Serato Audio Research, distributed by and

licensed exclusively to Rane Corporation.

 

Serato was first known for its popular Pro Tools plug-in Pitch N Time which was sold predominantly to the film industry[1] However, since its debut in May 2004,

Scratch Live has become Serato's

main product focus, and as such,

Scratch Live is often referred to simply

as "Serato" within the DJ and music scene.

 

Scratch Live allows manipulation and playback of digital audio files (mp3, wav, aiff, ogg and non-DRM aac) using traditional vinyl turntables or CD players via special timecode vinyl records or CDs. It seeks to cross the divide between the versatility of digital audio and the tactile control of vinyl turntablism and has become the industry's dominant digital DJ'ing tool.
