been there, I have the same username.

VTT is the best mixing program out there, I'm using it right now, and the new one will be even better.

I still want what's in my signature though.

vtt is great man.. it teaches you beatmatching skills if you don't use their bpm counter.. really.. i've been using it for a year and a half.. when i got my techs, only took me a few hours before i was beatmatching songs in no time..

I don't know about traktor, I downloaded the demo, but I couldn't get it to work right.. I did like alot of the features, but I wasn't able to get a decent mix out of thing in an hour, so I gave up.

it's too much like using a computer, and too little like using turntables.

VTT is the closest thing you can get on a computer in my opinion.

I totally agree with RavingLunatic on that one. Ive been using vtt for 3 years and my mixes sound very decent. I cant wait to try the new clone of that mixing program, expect it to beat the rest.

is VTT the name of the program, or is there a full name. Where can i dload VTT?

Also what do you guys think about mixmeister?
And another powerful program which you didnt mention, soundforge?

Virtual Turntables.. from www.carrotinnovations.com
it hasn't been updated for a long time, but thats ok, cuz the program does all that i need.

Its the best for playing anything live, and teaching you how to beatmatch and stuff.. alot like real cd decks, except you use the mouse. my only beef is the shitty mixer and eq, but thats ok, cuz i have an external mixer which can be hooked up to them.

i don't think any other program can compare right now...
soundforge is a wav editor.. u can't use that program to mix live.


Posted by RavingLunatic on Nov-21-2001 21:34:

exactly what I was going to say.

there is a new VTT coming out as well.

I agree wiv FastDJ, Traktor is by far the best prog out there. And i have used VTT, Traktor, PCDJ, MixMeister and a couple of others. Traktor is the closest you'll get to real decks, is the best for making live mixes and can teach you beat matching as well as any other prog out there as long as you dont look at the BPM counter.

Peace

Any other suggestions besides VTT and traktor. I've got Traktor, I've used it quite a bit, but after I upgraded my computer, I can't get the damn thing to play a song at a consistant BPM, it's flucuating very slightly land throws off any beat matching. Not to mention it completely screwing up after mixing for a bit and I have to close the program and start over. I've tried VTT, didn't like it, so I'm looking for something else (Traktor was great, it just doesn't want to work). I uppose Winamp with a pitch control plugin would work (I'm using it as a third input, have a much larger mp3 collection than I do vinyl).


Posted by RavingLunatic on Nov-21-2001 23:41:

Well..

the thing with traktor is I couldn't figure out how to fix the mix if it was off a bit, there is no jogwheel..

if you didn't like VTT, try the jogwheel skin, it's much better, much more control..

the skins in VTT actually change the functionality of the program, not just the look of it.


Posted by DRM on Nov-21-2001 23:49:

To adjust the pitch up or down slightly on traktor you use the arrows either side of the sync button. works just as well as a jog wheel

I tried VTT a while ago, and didn't like it because it didn't like my soundcard. So I use BPM Studio instead... just like a CD deck. With an external mixer... uNF.


Posted by TempesTrip on Nov-23-2001 08:11:

alright hold up...

First off vtt is a great program except for its memory leaks. This program is good if you have a 90 min gig to do and an external mixer. Other then that your screwed. The memory leak that was never fixed in this program sucks. How-ever i will give that it is the closest program to "real" djing then anyother program. It's the basics and backbone of mixing. No auto-bpm etc etc. How-ever the best sound-engine has got to be hands down visio's. For those of you that nkow what i'm talking about know who i'm talking about when i say "visio's" Any who. If your just getting started have no money to buy tables/mixer/vinyls. Go wit vtt, get ya beat matching skillz down while you save up and take it from there. Personally i used to use vtt for gigs, but i've moved on to the hardware and a more professional program. I hope this "new" vtt will live up to what it's hype is. lataz Da Tempest

I've used all the mixing programs... and the only two i liked were Traktor and BPM-Studio, all the others such as MJ-Studio or VTT were kinda a toy... The filters on traktor are really useful and they work almost as good as real ones, and the pitch is also very percise. BPM-Studio is a perfect virtual CD-Deck! it's easy to use, the pitch works just like a real one, you can connect it to an external mixer and mix just like with real CD's plus you can plug the controller to it and it'll work exactly like a real CD deck.. and you can program it so it doesn't show the BPM, the only bad thing about it is the bad EQ, but if you're using an external mixer that's not a problem.
