I First got into "computer based" Dj ing using PCDJ blue that came with my DMC-1Controller. Progressing though Red & Fx.
I found Red ok but the record case, id3 tagging requirments were all a bit complex. Limited playing of CDs but didn't like mixing two tracks of same cd for more than a few seconds.
Fx is up there but never got it working without bugs.
VIRTUAL DJ:
Ive found refreshingly natural striking a balance between ease of use and being powerfull and fun to use.
I think the hardware support is awsome (DMC-1)
being especally impreesed with the ability to use time coded vinal without additional hardware.
Ive been using A friends computer But will be buying a copy for my system asap.......AWESOME PRODUCT!!!!!

Has anyone here used "abletion live" or "serato scratch"?
I understand these are also good products, what do you guys think of them?...
One of the main things is the hardware availiable, if the software supports a decent controller then it'll be used by the proffesionals...
No body likes useing the mouse, and it doesn't quite have the right image either, people want buttons and flashy lights, it looks cool and funky..
image is everything to be a credible dj, I sopose it's ok to use the mouse to find tracks, but not to do everything...

The parties I DJ'd before I bought VDJ were all done with xmms (a winamp clone for linux).

I tested and watched the source code of XMMS, it is very well for Linux. Maybe the most famous player for Linux ....

Ots DJ has and still is one of my programs. Mainly for weddings because of the sweet autofade and the dynamics.
I had Final Scratch until the great VDJ came out with digital vinyl and sold the FS.
I also helped get tyrannosoft off the ground with video but their program got very expensive and very taxing on a computer. The program is too much for video anymore. And again, since VDJ does karaoke and videos I scratched tyrannosoft. I will note however, that I had the same problem with tyrannosoft with videos skipping/freezing for a second. It took him to do something in his program to eliminate it. I still have 4 video cards with various memory that I used to help him out and all it took was some change in programming.
Now, I mainly use VDJ except for weddings.

Was always a big PCDJ Red 5.2 user untill VIrtual DJ....
Only reason i moved to VDJ is the video and karaoke built into it as well as the audio and didn't have to have them as add ons......
Oh and VDJ seems as stable as Red 5.2

My first digital djing experience would have been in around 2000, with some freeware program whose name I can't recall. Shortly after I discovered PCDJ silver which I used for a while before buying a DMC-1 controller, which was bundled with PCDJ blue. I quickly upgraded this to Red, and was using 5.2 up until around May this year, when I jumped on the Atomix bandwagon, and haven't looked back! Fortunately, I also found someone who was happy to swap my DMC-1 for their DAC-2, result! ;-)

Cool topic,
My whole experience started with something called MixMeister (How pathetic !!!!). I would try to adjust the fade in fade outs while playing and try to beat match.
Then moved on to PCDJ and accompanied it with DAC 2. ( Never liked their record case management etc)
Used Traktor ( good program but did not do it for me)
Experimented with Ableton Live, (it is good if you are playing with some orchestra not for DJ in )
Used Mix Vibes (good but not as good as VDJ) for quite some time. It is that funny somebody mentioned the VDJ in Mix Vibes forum. Then next day gave it a try and bought it.
Then finally VDJ ( By the way if someone mentiones other program, I'll still be here hehehehe)

Atomix mp3 here too ;)

this is a great topic so heres my 5cents
1210's were the chosen format in the club i worked at, and cds were slowly creaping in. but the cd decks were poor, had rubber keys and took nearly 2 seconds to start the sound when you hit play.
by the late 90s, mp3 was taking off, and we asked for some standalone mp3 players.
the club thought about this and they got us a computer.
so the first program we used was infact Real Jukebox.
the full version could sort of crossfade 2 tracks, but you needed a playlist first. but realjukebox wasnt meant for live DJing...
then we found PCDJ. we opted for the Silver version. it did the job, but was somewhat lacking..
then we made the right choice, Atomixmp3 was created, and weve been with Atomix / Virtual DJ since when DB Boulevard had 'Point of View' out in the UK charts :)

used pcdj red 5.1 - liked it but without a master tempo i only used it at home.
pioneer CMX-3000's at the nightclub, CMX 5000 was the backup deck.
bought a used HDJ to try it out and see if it would work with pcdj(insert snicker)
liked the HDJ DJ version so much i bought the program and havn't looked back.
Tryed the BDJ program that came with My BCD 2000 - poor bpm calculation.
got rid of the BCD 2000.
just have th Dac-2 now and a mixer - havn't touched a cd in almost 2 years.
and so on........
