Thanks norway!

I posted in my first thread on these new VDJ Mac Forums that I suspect that you have played a BIG part in making this happen. ;)

Thank you!

I believe that's just a PhotChop job with a screenshot of the alpha version superimposed on the 24" black iMac that norway wants to get. =)

Not quite there yet, but it's getting DAMN close!

No doubt! We'll have VDJ for Mac soon though. =)

It's horrible being able to do pretty much everything on my Mac, and then having to boot into windows only so I can use my favorite program, VDJ, in such an unstable, insecure, non-intuitive, and just plain ugly environment.

At least vista was just released so that windows can try to look like Mac OS X has for over 5 years now, but Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard which will be released very shortly will bury vista even more than it has buried itself already, as has been predicted by the tech industry (and knowledgeable Mac users) since last year:

"Windows' Vista: Hey, where's the buzz?" - MSNBC pre-launch
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16709325/

"Vista dawns, world yawns" - Appleinsider-post launch
http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=2456

Have you seen the absolutely awful response that vista has gotten only a couple of days after it's release by both end users and the tech industry overall? The feedback so far is exactly what microsoft's own employees had been blogging about for almost a year and that they had been hearing all through 2006 by windows users whenever microsoft was demoing vista at trade shows that Apple wasn't even at!

"It's just looks and acts like Mac OS X has for years".

Here's a great video that demonstrates all of miCrapsoft xp sp3's (vista's) "innovative, new" features:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QdGt3ix2CQ

It's because the industry now knows that microsft lacks innovation and just copies companies like Apple (unless it purchases them to steal their innovations and call them microsoft's own which is why they've been convicted 3 times in 5 years by 2 continents and 1 country for illegal business practices aka "anti-trust violations") that Apple used these banners WAY BACK IN 2004 at it's annual WWDC (WorldWide Developers Conference) http://www.macminute.com/2004/06/27/tigerbanners/ knowing that microsft had NOTHING NEW in "longhorn" (now vista) and we all knew that it wouldn't make it's late 2005/early 2006 release date that billy g. had promised back in 2003: http://www.macminute.com/2004/06/27/tigerbanners/

It took over 5 years for microsoft to finally introduce a "new" OS that has nothing new and try to showoff "innovative" features that Apple's Mac OS X has had for years before vista and even "longhorn"... microsoft rocks! =P

"Hey microsoft, do any of those 8(?!!!) reasonably priced (LOL!!!) http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/software/microsofts-official-vista-pricing-announced-still-expensive-198616.php vista options actually work as well as Mac OS X, or do they just make a poor windows operating system just look richer?"

Enjoy shelling out some big bucks to microsoft for an xp face-lift, windows users. Do yourselves a favor and dump your money in the sewer, it'll give you the same experience as vista and save you some gasoline too!

Oops! Did I go off on an anti-microsoft/windows rant there?! That's so unlike me!!! ;)

You can today with bootcamp/windows. Native OS X version is very close though. Stay tuned.

Just like I've told many who really are too blind to see this movement, the switcher "pebble" was dropped here in the U.S. pond in 2002 with the original Apple switcher campaign. The ripples started over here then and turned into a big swell in 2005, and in 2006 it became a nationwide wave that is headed towards the Eastern Hemisphere now.

Watch the now un-stoppable Apple switcher wave crash on the Eastern Hemisphere's coasts over the next 2 years, and then worldwide Switcher Tsunami! =)

Pre-OSX, I would have not even considered running a Mac as my primary system even though it was well heeled in music and graphics professions. The fanboys were just as fanatical back in the OS9 days about how Macs were better than PCs, but their argument was MUCH weaker. That argument is starting to look pretty strong now!

I think it would be interesting to start making tutorials to tweak a Mac computer concerning Djing. If you have tips to share to optimize your system or interesting tools (to verify the USB flow of data, CPU and RAM management,...), do not hesitate to create a common post.

Yeah, I've always been pretty pro-Mac, but I've ALWAYS told people that pre-OS X Macs did crash at the application level NOT the OS level like windows still does, but that that was primarily due to the fact that Mac OS used to be dependent on "extensions", the equivalent to windows "drivers". So they would conlict with eachother and cras the apps.

With the release of Unix based Mac OS X back in 2001 though, Apple did away with extensions and there for the extension conflicts and problems that came along with them.

Hows that windows xp/vista doing in the 21st century? Still dependent on drivers and a 1/4 of a century old registry based OS and bios architecture?

LOL! =P

I originally had a Sony Vaio PCG-K27 Notebook GREAT MACHINE using Windows XP Pro edition. One gig of RAM and in Intel Pentium 4 moble processor at 2.06 Ghz. I bought the DJ MK2 and I was doing incredible mixes, HOWEVER, as with any PC, it began to freeze up on me, music started skipping during the mix. This thing had a CD/DVD Burner Double Layor ready and everything.

We recently just got a new next door neighbor, and he happened to be a DJ! So I heard his music and I decided to go over there one day. This man has been DJing for 15 years. From Clubs to doing his own thing (being well know with companies of course). All he ever uses are MACS. I went with him to a couple of gigs he was doing and all he used the whole time was the computer a MAC. He has a 2 ibooks. The main one he uses is an iBook G4 @ 1.44mhz. 512 RAM and 80 gig hard drive. For software he uses MegaSeg. I have to say I was VERY VERY impressed the fact that (while at wedding receptions) during dinner, MegaSeg would be automaticly mixing dinner music, (AT THE SAME TIME) copy his 7,700 songs on to an external for another DJ-in-training, he was ripping a CD, and was online ALL AT THE SAME TIME! AND NOT ONCE DID THE MUSIC SKIP OR FREEZE!!! .... He said during down times when he lets the computer mix itself, he surfs the web, rip a cd from his cd case, he will leave his setup and get something to eat (when i did that I was paranoid that it was going to freeze)...I showed him Virtual DJ with my MK2 he was Extremely impressed with it... even more since MegaSeg DOES NOT have autmatic Beat matching and does not mix Videos to good.

THEN I DID IT... I CONVERTED TO A MAC! I got a small iBook G4 @ 1.33 Mhz 1 Gig of RAM and an 80 Gig Hard Drive. ONE OTHER THING THAT IS IMPRESSIVE ABOUT MACS, There SOUND CARD. I plugged a regular cord that converts from the headphone jack to the A/V cables and and you crank it THERE IS NO DISTORTION!!!
For Now I am using MegaSeg. I was going to get virtual PC with Windows XP, BUT since a heard a Mac version is coming out, I decided to hold off.

The MK2 is sitting dormant right now waiting to VDJ Pro for MAC to come out.

NOW I CAN'T WAIT FOR VIRTUAL DJ FOR MAC TO COME OUT!!!
You Beta users can't give a hint AT LEAST to whether it's going to be this month or next month??

There's a lot to be said for a stable OS like Mac OS X and the amount of productivity you can get out of an OS that lets you multi-task without worries and doesn't crash just by looking at it funny.

windows? Not so much. ;)

Welcome switcher! =)

One of MANY who are already talking about it and SO many more to come after VDJ/VV Mac is released and VDJ/VV windows users are staring at us VDJ/VV Mac users and wondering why we're not constantly re-installing VDJ or our OS to get back our performance. =P

You and me both.

It's In the final stages of alpha, not beta yet.

But pretty close! ;)

But here is a Hint Hint, even if you have converted to a Mac, If you have ANY accessories listed on this site, you can get Virtual DJ Pro for a DISCOUNTED PRICE. As with any Mac Software, Virtual DJ Pro for MAC is likely to cost more than the Pro Version for Windows. Since the version is close to come out, NOW would be a good time to invest in Virtual DJ Pro. Once the Mac version comes out, (from what I've seen) the Mac version will be FREE to Pro users. I will be getting Pro VERY SOON.

Good looking out, but I don't think that VDJ Mac will cost more than VDJwindows.

But yes, it's DEFINATLEY a good idea to go Pro with VDJ. Many benefits. =)
