About VirtualDJ

VirtualDJ from Atomix Productions is one of the most widely used DJ programs in the world, popular with bedroom, mobile and party DJs. It lets you mix music on your computer with two or more decks, using your keyboard, a touchscreen or a DJ controller.

Its best-known feature is real-time stem separation: you can isolate or remove vocals, drums and other parts of any song live while you mix. VirtualDJ also supports video mixing, effects, samplers, streaming services and hundreds of DJ controllers.

VirtualDJ is free for home, non-commercial use. Professional use, such as paid gigs, needs a paid licence – a subscription or the one-time Pro Infinity licence – and some professional controllers also need a paid licence. It runs on Windows and Mac.
