I made a very short (7 min) mix on virtual DJ. Since it's my first mix, I thought I'd share it.
Please be brutally honest and give me tips on improvement. I'm aware that the people saying they liked it aren't DJs, so their comments are much less important.
Thanks.

PS: It seems to be skipping a lot when it's not on HQ, so you should probably just use HQ

Wow virtual dj has changed alot. Sorry but i dont rate Virtual DJ at all, it does all the work for you. Alot of the time you can mix without using your ear in the slightest or even doing anything...Nice tune selection though lol :)

awh man D:
Haha well at least I got a good tune selection. If my ebay sale actually goes through (5th time relisting, ends in 6 hours, 4 watchers), then I'll have enough to get the Gemini CDMP-6000 so I can finally make legit mixes.

Eh... I mean some good tunes but I won't tell you anything more until you mix with real stuff.
edit: Why is the quality better on some songs but bad on others? Did you download some of them or do virtual dj's just render in a horrible quality?

ok I'm here to try and save you from yourself lol.
If your going to mess around with DJ software + pirated music, make mixes for yourself to listen to and learn the basics. I wounldn't post it ANYWHERE because most of the time (98% i would say) people do it to get their name out there. I.E. promote, gain fans, impress, etc...
This mix is now on the web and viewable by everyone in the world, do you really want your first impression to all your fans to be somthing you admittedly say you pirated? But w/e, the pirated music aside, like Fingaz said no one can really give you any contructive criticism because there's really nothing there to criticise. Get my drift?
If your looking for genuine feedback, you first need to put in some effort and create a genuine mix - Legitly yours in other words. Your skill and hardwork on the tables, with music you purchased with hardwork. Whether it's good or not, if people feel your mix is a genuine expression of your love for music, they will feel it through your music.

Yeah don't worry too much, everyone makes mistakes at the beginning, whether technical or just pirating, but once you realize how tough the HC world is, you will change your ways!

well its needless to say that pirating music and using the poorest software fake dj's can buy isn't exactly going to win brownie points...
keep at the mixing, but use decks, or if u must use a pc to mix, get deckadance.

well, aside from everything that has been said before - it (was) also a youtube video
i dont like youtube mixes..
mp3s = music...
youtube = motion images!!!!
imo its really that simple :)
unless of course you can see the DJ mixing! which in that case thats cool and enjoyable (for a little while) - but im still not going to sit there with a browser window open, just to listen to a mix.

Given what he's said about pirating tracks and ripping tracks off youtube (lol, of all the things to put in a mix) i very much doubt he bought the VDJ software.
After reading the replies to this thread i won't even bother listening to the mix. Get some decks, BUY your tunes and, for the love of god when you have done all of that, do not put the mix in youtube video format! Full length (80 minutes or so) set.

All right guys I think he gets it. Stop ragging on him, he could get disinterested and we could lose a possibly valuable member of the scene, especially when we need them here in the US.
