Virtual DJ Pro v8.0 is a significant milestone in the history of Virtual DJ. Unlike the
transition to v7 from v6, or to v6 from v5 etc, where only significant new features
(like video support, 99 decks, ContentUnlimited, etc) were added, the v8 transition
involved re-writing the entire software from the ground up.
Version 8 is not just a clone of version 7 with a fresh engine. It also brings
its share of unique new features and novelty.
Here is a quick peek into the main new features:
One new exclusive feature of VirtualDJ 8, is the new "sandbox" concept. Sandbox is
a feature that helps you prepare your next mix while the audience is still listening
to the previous song. When sandbox is engaged, you can jump to the end of the current
track, and try to mix into the next track, hearing it only in your headphones, until
you find the perfect exit-point and entry-point where you'll want to mix.
The new sampler in v8 has shed all the limitations of the old v7 sampler. It can
now play an unlimited number of samples simultaneously. Samples can be audio, video,
or still images. Video samples can have alpha transparency. Samples can be organized
by group and triggered like an instrument bank. Slots can be arranged on a grid, and
have colors and icons.
The internal sound engine processes everything in high-quality 32-bit audio, but
the internal sampleRate can be adjusted in the options. It is recommended to use
44100 if you play mostly audio files that have been recorded at 44100
(like mp3 files), or 48000 if you play mostly high-def videos that have their
audio track at 48000. Setting a higher samplerRate than the files you play will
result in a lower quality of sound, not a higher one.
Those already experienced with version 7 can immediately appreciate the new additions.
The complete list of improvements (much too long to list here) is quite impressive to say
the least. To top it all off there is an awesome pack of plugins and enhancements
(included with your download) that allow you to take VDJ Pro 8 to an entirely different level.
I'm not a professional DJ (or even close), I just like to monkey around making my own custom music
with quality equipment that isn't overly complicated to use, so that I get a high quality end result.
Virutal DJ Pro gives me that!
I hope it helps you in creating your own listening lounge the way you want it.
Everything you need; installation instructions, patch, plugins, is included in the zip file.
To get the setup and user manuals go to the Virtual DJ Skins -> Samples folder which is in the Plugins folder.

SIDE NOTE
***********
The Virtual DJ .exe installation file is directly from the Virtual DJ website, however it is important
for you to remember that Keygens, Patches, Activators, Cracks, Loaders etc. may give false positive
results depending on your virus protection.
If your AV program blocks you from downloading I would suggest disabling your AV program until
you have successfully installed Virtual DJ Pro 8, store the files you downloaded on an external storage
device (to avoid annoying virus alerts), and then re-activating your AV program afterwards.

Oh, and VirtualDJ v7.0.5b and above is fully compatible with all recent MacOSX, including Maverick (10.9).
It is worth mentioning that some hardware such as MIDI controllers and/or DJ sound cards
may not be compatible yet. So check the manufacturer's website(s) for further information.
Ok, I'm done - Enjoy!
