Atomix Productions' Virtual DJ
Free not only mixes and mashes beats from a classic two-deck console, but also
it serves as audio central for your system since it also records audio and
video, burns discs, and even broadcasts online using a radio server or your own
PC as a client-limited server. A survivor, Virtual DJ has been making music for
millions of users for more than a decade. The latest version adds new
controllers and full compatibility with Windows 8 multitouch surfaces. And it's
still free.

Like similar tools, Virtual DJ
takes its functional and style cues from the traditional pro DJ console, with
the side-by-side, turntable-style scratch pads surrounded by duplicate control
sets. You can change its skin from the Config. button on the top edge. The
lower half of Virtual DJ's interface is tabbed for those features you need the
most: Browser, Sampler, Effects, and Record; each with a submenu accessing main
features. For instance, under Record, we could Record Audio, Burn CD,
Broadcast, and Record Video. The Sampler has 12 tracks with large, easy-to-see
sliders and Play and Rec buttons, while the Effects tab offers both Sound and
Video Effects as well as Video Transitions. We started with the Browser, which
is anchored by a specialized, music-oriented tree view in the left sidebar. We
dragged some MP3s into the right and left decks. Virtual DJ showed each song's
spectral energy in a small graph in each deck and in a larger graph along the
top displaying sampled selections. Virtual DJ automatically integrated our
selection into the main spectral view (which can be grabbed, dragged, and
altered) and loaded it on the scratch pad. A cool touch: Virtual DJ illuminates
and aligns sampled tracks on the pad's rim, just as if they'd been the grooves
on vinyl records.
The only beef we could muster
over Virtual DJ is actually common to all such programs, and they inherited it
from the real deal: The need to cram two full sets of as many highly-visible
controls as will fit into an ergonomically useful space. Even there, Virtual DJ
Free has them beat.
