This is a video to show you within only 6 minutes how to DJ mix using only your PC and without paying a penny for software, hardware or equipment. Surely, the techniques described here will be called blasphemy by many DJs but for those considering giving DJing a try, this will be a great way to get started and see where things go from there.
This video breaks the DJing process into 9 steps, some of which are dirt simple:
1. Install Virtual DJ
2. Get 2 songs, preferably dance music songs that have the words "club mix" or "extended mix" in their names
3. Launch Virtual DJ
4. Load the 2 songs into Virtual DJ, one on each deck
5. Press Synch on one of the 2 decks to get the 2 songs to be at same tempo
6. Set Crossfader completely on the side of the deck you want to start playing first
7. Play your first song
8. When your first song has about 1 minute left and its beat marker at the top is at same location as the beat marker for your second song, play the second song and the immediately hit Synch. If you don't get the 2 markers in synch, you can press stop on your second song and try again until you get it.
9. Move crossfader slowly towards the new song's deck.
Thank you for this beginners tutorial on Virtual DJ. For those of us searching for mixers and wanting to get a feel of an application before we download it, this is a perfect video. Thank you MC Arabiani. I appreciate your effort and sharing this with the RUclips community.
Honestly, the advice in this video is good. As stated before, it's for beginners. You don't have to do everything exactly the same way in this video. Play around with the software, learn what it can do. You can still create some pretty neat mixes even if you don't have an actual deck. Also, you don't always have to use crossfading to transition into the next track. Play around with the software, play around with your music, create your own technique.
Best advice to learning how to use VDJ, play around, learn what you can do, and create your own style.
9th Step: adjust your EQ along with the cross fader. The last thing you want are two competing baselines. Even with the sync feature, this could make for a pretty horrible mix. Of course, it's much less noticeable for house music.
As a bass player from the 80's and 90's rock/pop/funk genre's I've always wondered how and what DJ's are actually doing. I've come to admire house/deep house music, a lot, and this simple tutorial answered real curiosity as to what is going on in the bigger picture technically/artistically/creatively .... thanks.
thank you for making this soo easy to understand, i know nothing about virtual dj and your video was the only basics i needed, no elaborate mixing just simple transition from one song to another. THANK YOU!
can u plz make more of this videos pls i want learn how to use my virtual and ur the only person i can understand wat ur explaining.
I used this exact method to play Tomorrowland. But I used Beamz by Flo and Beats headphones to make it look like I was doing something.
Hahhahaha!
2. Get 2 songs, preferably dance music songs that have the words "club mix" or "extended mix" in their names
LMFAO
alex g people also mix rock and Edm music together. I don't want to so off by saying that I did it too. Thanks for the tip anyways
Very helpful and your english is understandable for germans like me :D not like other videos "Come on guuuuuys todaaaaaaaay imgonnabeshowyou thiiisss:D"
Thx Dude
+RaBBiTZ lololol
+Vectra eSports das is kein DJing das is Songs nacheinander abspielen xD
English is understandable. Its near on fluent. Speaks it better then me. By the way. Is that Jurgen Klinsman. Top player mate
Thanks for your tutorial man. I'm currently saving up for a deck and almost got the money.
You tutorial is gonna be very helpful because this Saturday night I am going to DJ for a friend's party, and since I don't have my decks yet, i'll have to use only my computer.
I was used to the MIXXX program, but VirtualDJ seems much much better.
Bro, this tutorial isn't useful for anything
andres camilo poveda rincon ikr, it's been a few months I posted this but I quickly realised I wasn't getting anywhere without a controller, so I bought a Pioneer DDJ-SB :) And I use Serato DJ, it's much bette.
Thank you so much. I'm starting my own show at a college radio station and wanted to learn how to use virtual dj, you made the process simple.
Awesome tutorial on how to blend tracks, but there is so much more to DJing! Song choice, presence, preparation, equipment, lighting, etc... For those watching this, this information is a big help, but do not attempt to go land a gig based off of this ;) Thanks for the vid!
Thanks, good for beginners.
No. It is not. Even the BASS is not adjusted. I hate this youtube video.
Per Andersen The bass isn't adjusted, he uses SYNC to match up the BPMs, and now people think they are a DJ because they follow these steps.
elhombre329 I agree with you.
SYNC is not always a 100% accurate besides that, the process of beatmatching is very cool and a skill. Little by little I am getting the hang of it. You can use the SYNC button but there is a whole lotttttt more.
agreed. I learned a lot!
Thanks for making it easy to learn how to match beats. I am trying to learn some basic music editing as a hobby. Really appreciate it.
Inna ,from Romania ! Niceeeeeeeeee , I'm proud with my country !
Nice description and very easy way to lear.thanks for uploading
Thank you. That was quick, simple and informative. I got it and understood it all.
Top tip: if you want to play the song to the very end (which is a good idea if your mixing EDM songs) then you can hold on until about 15 seconds from the end and hit CTR+Page Up this will snap the cross fader from 0-100%. this works very nicely if you're mixing songs that have a very repetitive drum pattern
So nice! That's a hell of a 1st video!
Thanks. Learnt A thing or two about virtual dj I didn't know.
Once you have followed all the steps above and have the second song playing (Inna - Amazing on the right deck, in this case) you can just load the new third song onto the left deck. Then repeat steps 5 to 9 to ultimately crossfade towards the left into the third song.
I love this video, it's helps me a lot to understand how to operate my Virtual DJ software. Thank you so much for sharing. You are the best!
here's a small tip for everybody: Before you move the crossfader and switch to the next song, take a look at the eq (bass, mid and high frequenzies). before switching to the next track take the bass of track that you hear out and than switch to the next track. Thats because the Kicks of the tracks somehow don't sound good together. You'll probably be able to find a reason for that on RUclips or Google but that's up to you.
video is quick and informative, thank you. i have a question for you reguarding setup and use. i downloaded the VDJHome , how do i get my music on there to mix it? also......the program shuts down after 10 min...
how do you mix enough music for a party if you only get 10 min of use at a time?
the songs you used were they on a USB you have or did you have the monthly subscription? I have VDJ and was wondering if I need the subscription to further myself?
ok thanks now im going to ibitha and start to dj in clubs i know how to change from one song to another i will definitely get a job again thanks!
Thanks dude - simple basics explained well
try taking the bass out of the left deck as you are transitioning, but before you do that take the bass out of the right deck so when you ARE transitioning just swap the bass so it doesnt sound all conjested
Thank you very much. This was a great tutorial.
this has really helped ! thanks ! subscribed !
thank you for explaining it so easy....
thanks for the video, how do you pre/play with head phone using virtual deck such as this?
Thank you . Very helpful.
Great video, thanks for the help!
Dont forget to kill the bass on the current track playing yhe bring in the new track.
Thanks Very Much!!! Very Useful Tutorial .... :D
Get a sound card, monitors, and headphones. Then route monitors to one side and headphones to the other. You can do that on Virtual DJ.
tnx dude!! keep the good work up
Now that is 6 minutes i will never get back !!
wow!
that's an amazing trick sir!!
thanks a lot
nice information and demo for beginners 👏
Thank You...... saved me time and money I was about to by Beamz by Flo Rida
Thank you for sharing this. And you can get paid for just doing that at some club/wedding/party ? Surely there has to be more to it than that.
You basically just have to mess around with all the buttons/options on the program. That's how I learned anyway.
This was so helpful !
thanks for your video ;)

You didn't say goodbye at the end :"(
I'm still alive, and open to making new videos, but they'll have to be about some new topics. I just made a poll to see if there is any interest.

+coolguy9019 __ agreed
virtual dj 7,with a sound card and head phones you can end up making mixes as good as this with practice www.mixcloud.com/jon_stakks/summer-mix-funky-commercial-house/
great tutorial!
You are the best person ever thank you soo much
good work brooo that some good shit right here
You can also mix music using Music Maker Jam.
Thanks so much !
Do you have to press the sync button twice? When you did it the first time both tracks were at 128, but when you mixed from 1 track to the next, the song that was coming in was at 127……why?
Is it also the same thing you need to do form Remix?
Because, Now your only just switching form music 1 tot music 2.
what are those 2 songs you played? please let me know thankyou mate kind dj skippy
you can use a headphone splitter, but you will only get mono audio out of each one. Otherwise, you will need to buy a two channel sound card (also called an audio interface)
Great !! Love u man :)
The song on the left deck is analyzed by a beat off.
what about the steps where you need to have an ear for music and the feel of your audience?
Thanks bro, i thought i bout monster headphones (and beats) for nothing xD
thank you dat was awesome
get the music maker jam app in Google play on your phone
Ok so when i record how do i record with the option to fast forward the songs? i cant wait each song it will take me 2 hours to finish a set. how do i do that ?
Well captured
How to save it? I mean I will saved the music that I just mix.. and put in cellphone ??
WOW, THANKS!
Thank you :)
