Newer versions became much more Karaoke oriented, so I stopped using it for straight DJ'ing. I used an older version of it when I first started DJ'ing, it worked well with one glaring fault - it did not track songs played. Nonetheless, for those who like that sort of thing, has anyone ever tried Virtual DJ Studio (not to be confused with VDJ). Too often a Jack of All Trades app becomes too buggy and unstable, a criticism I have heard about PCDJ DEX's versions that will play mp4's. Only difference between DEX 3 Pro and the free version of Virtualdj is actual Rotation management.Īll I care 3 is a program that is friendly to both karaoke and DJ applications. Virtualdj on the otherhand can play full video and karaoke. The only advantage that I see mixx having over DEX 3 LE is the ability to use a controller with it but unlike DEX 3 LE, mixx can't play the audio of mp4 files. If you're a cheap SOB or don't care about quality, then you might use the others.īut, even PCDJ and Virtual DJ both have home versions that are free that blow away what you're pushing. If you're a professional, and you only want the best, you're going to use one of the two listed in the opening sentence. The others, including the one you mention, are toys. PCDJ DEX 3 and Virtual DJ are both the best DJ software out there. However, for those you who don't need video, Mixxx is currently field testing a Public Beta of Version 2.3 that has a number of significant improvements, and is pretty bug free at this time. I will be doing my buy on the fly downloading on a separate computer.

The only other software that I have to use is file explorer with OpenKJ and OpenKJ Songbook with DEX. I use DEX for gigs that require better mixing of the DJ music and OpenKJ for basic karaoke gigs where I can get away with just playing the songs back to back.Ĥ either way I only need to run a single player software for my needs. 3 DEX plays all of my DJ files, audio and video. Why pay $149 US Dollars for DEX 3 Pro when Mixxx and OpenKJ is $0?ġ) it's easier to add new songs on the fly. Why pay $299 US Dollars for Pro license Virtualdj 2020 when the $149 DEX 3 Pro is far superior?
