Atomix Productions is proud to announce a new version of its flagship software VirtualDJ, which brings many important improvements and new features: In an era where DJ hardware is moving more and more toward a better synergy with DJ software, we redesigned VirtualDJ to be more controller-centric. As such, the new pad section will fit right at home on most modern controllers, but at the same time brings a versatility and easiness that is the trademark of VirtualDJ.
The audio engine has been improved, and we managed to perfect even more our already top-of-the-line BPM analysis algorithm. And our acclaimed video engine also saw some significant performance boost with a smarter use of hardware acceleration.
The connected aspect has not been forgotten, with some brand new features like Ask.The.DJ
And of course, the overall stability has been maintained to rock-solid level, with the lowest crash ratio in the industry.
