I've got the home edition of Virtual DJ that came with the Hercules Mixers (The older version without any of the outputs/inputs on the back) and am thinking of upgrading to pro. What are the differences? Can anyone tell me if the time stretch feature is also better in pro, as I have noticed on my version that when enabled, songs start to stutter a little bit as the software tries to keep the pitch the same whilst changing the tempo. Also is the newer version of the hercules mixer a lot better? Thank you

Stand-alone use: VirtualDJ DJC Edition cannot be run without a DJConsole plugged in. The pro version can be taken back home without bringing the console along.
SoundConfig: VirtualDJ Pro lets you use any soundcard configuration you want. Use two or three soundcards, use ASIO or WDM drivers, use an external mixer and send both the right deck and left deck on different outputs, send the samples, the preview, the headphone, and each decks on different outputs, etc... The possibilities are endless.
Timecoded vinyls: VirtualDJ DJC Edition will only let you test the timecoded vinyls for 5mn on a DJConsoleMK2. With the pro version, you will be able to enjoy the pleasure of true turntablism feelings combined with the easiness of digital DJing.
DJC Mapper: With VirtualDJ Pro, you can use a different mapper to modify the behavior of the console. Use one of those already made by other users, or program your own using our SDK.
MIDI: VirtualDJ Pro lets you use any MIDI source to control anything inside VirtualDJ. Just plug the MIDI device, and set a new shortcut for the actions you want to be triggered.
XP10, DAC3, DVinyl, WebCam, etc...: VirtualDJ Pro is compatible with many other different devices.
Fullscreen video: VirtualDJ DJC Edition can only mix and scratch music videos in a small window. The pro version lets you send the video fullscreen to another video output of your computer, or simply resize the video output window the size you want.
DMX lights: VirtualDJ Pro lets you control all your lights directly through DMX.
Global Database: If you have an Internet connection, you can browse and play any music directly streamed from the global Napster database, and it's completely legal (need a valid Napster subscription).
HQ MasterTempo: VirtualDJ Pro offers a higher quality sound engine.
Network Sync: Synchronised several computers together through network

all much better
