In Virtual DJ’s Add-Ons page you’re going to find effects chains, performance pad layouts, and even plugins that make Virtual DJ more powerful. Instead of an online store, Virtual DJ has a community that develops extensions for it. Having said that, Serato has some features that Virtual DJ doesn’t, including Serato Flip and a number of complex effects that come from the Serato FX Pack. Virtual DJ comes with more features straight out the box: video mixing capability and DVS come baked in, for example, whereas you’d have to buy expansion packs for both in Serato DJ. Virtual DJ: User-generated FX, pad layouts, and plugins Serato DJ: Serato Video, Serato FX Pack, Serato Flip, Serato Pitch ‘n Time DJ, Serato DVS A Virtual DJ 8 Advanced Home User licence can run up to a whopping US$199, as is the case when buying a licence for the Pioneer DJ DDJ-RZ.īoth apps have monthly subscription payment options too, and could make more sense if you plan on just trying out the software, or if you don’t plan on DJing too often, opting instead to reactivate your licence only when you need it. Serato DJ has a simpler pricing scheme than Virtual DJ 8, and the cost doesn’t vary depending on which controller you’re using.

This is because Serato DJ licenses its software to hardware manufacturers and retains strict control over implementation, while Virtual DJ just takes it upon itself a lot of the time to make sure its software works, which leads to wider compatibility.

Virtual DJ is one of the most popular digital DJ apps because it works with just about anything, and it shows: being compatible with over 300 DJ devices, plus the ability to use any manufacturer’s audio interface and timecode vinyl for DVS use puts it at a huge advantage over the compatibility list of Serato DJ for DJs for whom near-universal compatibility is important.
Virtual DJ: 325 total devices, including mixers, media players, controllers, and DVS boxes Serato DJ: 53 controllers, 17 mixers, 18 accessories (including CDJs), four DVS boxes You’re even able to modify Virtual DJ 8 on a deeper level thanks to its extensive Options menu that lets you tweak controls to its engine. With Virtual DJ 8 being more “open”, that means that users have more opportunities to customise the app to fit their needs on the computer they’re using, and that also means that it works with a broader range of DJ controllers, mixers, and interfaces.
This tends to make Serato DJ more stable, albeit across a smaller range of mixers, controllers, and interfaces.
There are advantages and disadvantages to either: being closed means that the developer has more control over the way the app looks and with which devices it works with.

The default Virtual DJ 8 skin has a maximum of six decks, but you can have up to 99 decks if you’re using a skin that supports that number.įrom this, you may think of Serato DJ as more of a “closed” DJ environment, and Virtual DJ as more “open”. Virtual DJ’s virtual deck limit, on the other hand, is directly tied to the skin that you’re using.
Serato DJ lets you spin with a maximum of four virtual decks, letting you choose to display the waveforms in a horizontal or vertical manner.

You can even use it with a touchscreen PC thanks to its “Tablet” skin that makes it intuitive for touch device use. Serato DJ has a standard graphic interface that is uniform across both Macs and PCs, while Virtual DJ has a customisable one – you can change the way it looks by downloading “skins” made by the Virtual DJ community. Graphics are one of the main differences between Serato DJ and Virtual DJ. Virtual DJ: Up to 99 decks (skin-dependent), vertical and horizontal waveforms Serato DJ: Four decks maximum, vertical and horizontal waveforms If you’re on the fence as to which app to pick, read on to find out what makes each of them special and see how they stack up against each other… 1. We’ve got a tough Head To Head challenge here: both Serato DJ and Virtual DJ 8 are long-running digital DJ apps that each have their own dedicated supporters.
