![]() ![]() On a newly installed Ubuntu machine, ‘Wine’ needs to download around 240-250MB of data, so it might take a little while to download. If you want the latest unstable builds (which I do not recommend), then enter the below one instead. If you want the latest stable release of ‘Wine’ which is currently 1.6, then enter the below command. Sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa Open up the Terminal emulator and enter the below commands. First we need to install ‘Wine’ on Ubuntu (I am running 13.10 but the same instructions should work on other versions as well) & then we will install ‘Virtual DJ’ for Windows setup using it &, … that is it!. So, without any further delays, let us begin the ‘process’ □. I decided to write a simple ‘how to’ guide hoping that someone else might also find it useful. So I decided to see if it could be run on Ubuntu 13.10 using ‘Wine’ (a tool that lets you run some of MS Windows software on GNU/Linux), and as you can see from the below screenshot, despite few small issues, I was quite successful in doing so. But as a GNU/Linux user, the problem with ‘Virtual DJ’ is that it runs on Windows and Mac OS X only. ‘Virtual DJ’ is also one of the leading MS Windows based music mixing software and many DJ hardware devices (such as those from ‘Pioneer’) include built-in support for ‘Virtual DJ’. It is easy to use, beginner friendly, & there is a free version available which despite some of its restrictions, is still an excellent piece of software. Just go to your Download Center to download it.I am not a DJ, but after seeing one of my friend’s work as a DJ, I also wanted to try it a bit (just for fun □ ), and that is how I came across ‘Virtual DJ’. ![]() Like usual, VirtualDJ 7.4 is a free upgrade for all Broadcaster, Basic and Pro users. And like usual, we added native support for all the new controllers that have been released recently or will be released soon, bringing the total list to 187 controllers supported natively out of the box. We implemented some new industry-standard actions like "slip_mode", "loop_roll", "slip". We replaced MusicGroup by our new LiveFeedback recommendation engine, bringing you more accurate recommendations (that will grow even much better when v8 will go live). We also implemented full multi-touch compatibility, so that VirtualDJ 7.4 can take full advantage of Windows 8 touch tablets and surfaces. You can find here more information about ContentUnlimited. We also still have a "NetSearch" option where you can search (at your own risk) rarer content that is not found on the "professional" catalogs. The Video Plan is using VJPro, and for now is limited to USA customers only, but we should add Canada soon and Europe soon after. ![]() The Karaoke Plan has all the catalogs from ChartBusters/MegaHits, and we are in the process of also uploading all the catalogs from SunFly. The Audio Plan is still using Grooveshark as a back-end catalog, and all existing subscription from v7.3 will continue uninterrupted as an Audio Plan. Is it now called "ContentUnlimited", and comes with 3 Subscription Plans: an Audio Plan, a Video Plan and a Karaoke Plan. So, what is new in v7.4? First, we enhanced our Content Subscription offer. So that v7.4 doesn’t lose any functionality when we release v8 and switch our servers to the new protocol. Second, that it is compatible with the new communication protocols that are used in v8 (liveFeedback, ContentUnlimited, MySets, etc). So, we took the time to fix in 7.4 many small glitches that we initially thought would wait for v8. So that when the more "young" v8 is released, people still have a rock-solid time-tested version as an alternative option if they want. This will probably be the last of the 7.x series, so we wanted to make sure of two things: First, that this is our most stable version ever. So we are releasing today a new version 7.4. ![]() While VirtualDJ 8 is getting near, we are still committed to bringing new enhancements and fixes to the existing version. ![]()
