Topic: Virtual DJ without headphones

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi - I have virtual DJ Home Edition and was wondering how its possible to mix properly without the use of headphones? I can see how you can get the beats in sync but there is no way of knowing if you are starting off you new track at the beggining of the bar? Is there a way I can get listen to new track coming in on its own?

Thanks for any help on this.

Why would you want to mix without headphones?

There's not exactly any good way to do it if you're gigging, at home you could just cue the track in the speakers I guess, but other than that I dunno.
 
Or set up cue points in each track and you could even name each point so you know whats what... I do a lot of this along with hot keys on keyboard for skipping around.
 
I have done some nights or partial nights without headphones with VDJ. You have to know the music inside and out and also the cue points have to be set already and how to visually read the beats as they scroll. Not that hard to do once u get the hang of it.

I emphasize that u must know every track in your collection to do it properly though.

Still better to monitor what u are mixing bottom line.
 
Thanks Guys - I guess what I need to know is - How do I set up using headphones for the home edition? and any recommendations for any types of headphones?

Cheers
