VirtualDJ 8 Crack
But of course, version 8 is not just a
clone of version 7 with a fresh engine. It also brings its share of new
features and novelty. Here is a quick guide to the main new features,
intended for people who are already experienced with version 7:
SANDBOX
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. You can then disengage sandbox, and calmly
wait for your current track to reach the point where you’re now
confident you should start your mix.
SAMPLER
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 sampler is now accessed through the
sideView, where you can select any bank and drag’n’drop samples directly
onto the slots. The sample files themselves are found in the sampler
folder in the browser. Note that you can also play any sample directly
from the sampler folder, meaning that you could play as many samples as
you want simultaneously, and you don’t “have” to use the grid if you’re
more comfortable triggering samples from the list. The sampler also has a
special bank called “remix mode”, which transforms your sampler into
smart cue-pads. VirtualDJ will automatically detect and fill the remix
points with the breaks in your song, but you can edit your own remix
points of course.
When you record a new sample, using
either the rec button on the advanced loop panel, or the mic or master
rec button on the master mixer panel, VirtualDJ will store the newly
created sample in the “Recordings” folder, and highlight it, so you can
choose whether you want to drop it on a deck and start scratching it (if
you just recorded your voice through the mic for example), or drop it
on a sampler pad. And of course you can edit any sample with the sample
editor.
EDITORS
Another big novelty in VirtualDJ 8, is the plethora of built-in editors.
AUTOMIX EDITOR:
The AutoMix editor allows you to
pre-edit your automix sequence, in order to fine-tune the mix-in and
mix-out points, the type of transition, and if you’re mixing videos,
select the video transition to be used for each mix. When you manually
tune the mix between two songs, VirtualDJ will remember and use your
preferred settings the next time the automix engine mixes these exact
two songs together.
TRACK CLEANER:
This editor lets you easily create
“edits” of your tracks. You can remove any offensive lyrics by
“inverting” them, you can cut out long intros or irrelevant speech, or
loop a section to extend your track.
VIDEO EDITOR:
The video editor has 2 main uses: It can
be used to edit an existing video, by adding some text effects on the
parts that you usually scratch, or on relevant lyrics. Or, it can be
used to add a full new video track to an existing audio-only song, using
video parts from other video files. It can also be used to create a
video track for a remixed version by using parts from the video track of
the original version.
SAMPLE EDITOR:
To harness the power of the new sampler
in version 8, the sample editor lets you adjust most of the options on
your audio, video, or still-image samples. Your samples can now be
audio, video or both (or still images), and you can easily adjust the
transparency of video samples, crop the audio clips, and create sample
groups with specific trigger modes.
POI EDITOR:
All the cue points, saved loops, automix
points, beatgrid anchors, macro points, etc…, are now called POI (for
Point Of Interest) in VirtualDJ 8. The POI editor lets you organize and
manage all these points for each of your tracks.
BPM EDITOR:
The new BPM editor let you easily and
conveniently adjust the beatgrid of your songs. It can even let you
specify a different bpm for different parts inside the same song.
TAG EDITOR:
The tag editor has been much improved in
version 8 compared to the one from version 7. It can batch edit a lot
of tracks together, can save the tags back to the files, and is
compatible with a broad range of file formats and tags.
