Topic: Chords Detector
sarebbe molto comodo avere una finestra che visualizza gli accordi

It displays on deck, next to the bpm .
 
That's the key, not the chord.
 
ci sono molte app che riconoscono gli accordi dei file audio mi domando perché questa funzione non viene implementata anche su Virtual DJ sarebbe molto comodo soprattutto per i musicisti
 
You need to post in English here, or use the Italian forum area.

Could you give an example?
 
To add to what @groovindj has said...those apps that can (potentially) do this are called Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) and VirtualDJ is not a DAW (at least not in the conventional sense).

If you can list any prominent DJ software that does this we'd be glad to try it out, but realistically, of what use would that be to a DJ/Karaoke set in your view?
 
There are many VSTs to detect Chords from a Track .
 
I honestly can't understand why someone doesn't see the benefit of chords detection for a DJ set.

2 tracks can have the same key, but different chord progressions. Mixing them won't sound really good. Unless you identify parts of the songs with the same chords and loop one of them.

There are many plugins, but many have a large margin of error, which makes them useless.

I believe if VDJ had this feature, it would be highly useful.

Maybe I'm wrong or I don't understand something. I'd be glad to know what exactly.

Exactly, so how would you expect VDJ to perform any better?

I was watching a video recently, showing one such plugin in action. The part detecting the chords was jumping around all over the place, and the key detection wasn't much better.

 
So, you're looking for something that identifies each and every chord in a song? As someone who loves harmonic mixing, I'd think that would be tedious and laborious and for software that already has trouble identifying song keys, I'd think it would be fraught with errors. Knowing the song key should suffice, and if there's a key change in the song, that should be on the user to identify and prepare for.
 
Perhaps if OP could explain what the goal of this feature request is wrt DJing then it may help us to understand.
