Many of which come with a version of VirtualDJ Limited Edition (LE) so you can immediately start using your controller.īut, if you don't find what you need here, keep in mind that VirtualDJ Pro Full is compatible with many other controllers, mixers, etc. You will find below a small list of the best hardware for digital DJ one can find on the market today. And, with the full MIDI compatibility and the open plugin architecture, it can connect to virtually anything. VirtualDJ Pro Full is natively compatible with an impressive list of hardware from many manufacturers.

VirtualDJ Pro Full can be used as a stand-alone software in case of emergency, but to truly unleash its power, you might want to connect it to some dedicated hardware. Still, using digital music doesn't mean you'll have to sit behind a computer and use a mouse and keyboard. I think it rules and so I'd recommend you look into it before you decide if you need hardware to control it.Nowadays, more and more DJs are using VirtualDJ Pro Full to be able to use digital music instead of traditional vinyls or CDs. This means no beatmatching, but it's harder to just throw something in - it has to be locked to tempo or the whole point of much of the software is gone. The clips' start/stop time and playback speed can be locked to a global tempo, and so you have to do a bit of prep ("warping") in order to set them up for this to work right. Audio is loaded into these little clips that can be anything from a short sample to a full track. There's a built-in tutorial for this, but in short, Live doesn't have "decks" and pitchfaders in the traditional sense. Since you're posting this in /r/djs, I'm presuming you'll have a DJ focus rather than production, so you'd do well to learn how DJing works in Live. The Launchpad is just a grid-shaped MIDI controller and the Ableton Live integration is just clever MIDI mapping software that sends data back and forth between Live and the Launchpad.

If you have zero Ableton experience, you might consider spending a month or so with the free demo (it's got all the features and saving disables after a month) to see if you like it.
