I am sure there are many very successful VJs within the ME camp but I am equally sure that other MAC based VJs are just as successful with VDJ in its MAC form and/or a PC solution like VDJ so "MUST" is entirely relative I would think. For a PC invested user/owner (like myself and others I am sure), going to Apple/MAC may be entirely cost, learning or time prohibitive based on mere conjecture. I am really only seeing an Apples (excuse the pun) vs Oranges comparisons in most cases instead of Oranges vs Oranges comparisons and very little of the meat described above. Internet reviews/comparisons (what few I have found) are rife with differences of opinions depending on whether you reside in the MAC or PC Camp or Serato vs VDJ camps yet I have not seen anything like a truely unbiased comparison when comparing all facets including budget, technology, sound, processing, practicality, convenience, ease of use, Human Interface differences, interchangeability, flexibility to name only a few things besides just mere preference. What you are saying might be true for earlier versions of VDJ you may have used compared to a newer version of Serato/ME that you have likely kept updated but "may" be way off the mark for a head to head comparison of the most up to date iterations of both.
Once you are left behind in this game on any side and don't keep up you are merely citing opinion rather than fact is my belief. A great back end system displayed on a bad front end monitor will look plain bad so it is all a balance especially in the mobile game. Other issues can more dramatically affect outcome like the media you use, monitors in use and the video signal distribution hardware/software/pathway. I only ask this because VDJ 8 in the hands of a very experienced user can do some highly powerful stuff that earlier iterations could not hope to achieve and really, will the guests at a gig actually be able to tell the difference from their viewing/listening vantage point? Is it possible that there is more than one player in the game that can do a fantastic job when you compare this against something like the high end car industry where there are more than one brands I would not kick out of my driveway? I hate to say it but the computer/software side of things is not your only concern when VJ-ing as I'm sure you all know. I have been on ME since the beginning and it's very stable and the Nick from Inklen updates program very often.Gotta ask - are you speaking from first hand knowledge of the latest version of VDJ (8) or are you going back to prior experience with earlier versions of VDJ when you chose to follow your particular path and subsequently dismissed it as an option from that point forward? By doing that you naturally would not have been fully keeping up with the improvements on the other side of the competition.
#Serato vs virtual dj pro#
Virtual DJ is very good for the occasional VJ.įor the serious or pro VJ, Mix Emergency is MUST. I am sure you will get lots of feedback from both camps. If you are Apple-centric, it may well serve you better to go Serato/Mix Emergency (probably at a far greater cost) but I can't reall say which is better as I only know the one side so sorry for that. VDJ swings both ways and works out of the box without needing hardware/software links between multiple products and was designed as a competant VJ tool. That is really just my personal preference as I have been PC guy since the DOS era and Macs are frustrating for me because of their closed hardware/software architecture. I am curious about this mix emergency but understand it is Apple only which can be a huge and very costly hardware shift if you are PC based like myself. No need to spend months figuring out a complex package especially since I am exclusively a PC guy. It simply works reliably and effectively. I like it for being able to make music videos on the fly with stock HD video material.

No integration with other software necessary, it is all there in the software package.
