Topic: Upgrading

Dieses Thema ist veraltet und kann veraltete oder falsche Informationen enthalten.

Ok well i have had a lengthy jam using the LE i just bought new controller Numark N4. so i would like to register that here instead showing my old lil hercules. Main reason i am writing this is i am considering Upgrading to go full pro. But not sure will i benefit from it, Firstly it's alot! of money your charging compared to other software who i have read great reviews about in peticular traktorPro2. they charge only half what you are asking.. Why is this so Expensive?? what is so special abont VdjPro over other Software that it has a huge price tag on it.
I don't want to pay out that much if for what i am doing its not worth it.
Plus in order to you use i would require this works perfectly with my N4

to be honest nothing.. you get free upgrades for life,you can download the effects skins and other stuff.. but i sugest you wait for version 8 im really expecting some major changes on that and to be all in all a game changer.
 
I upgraded to full, because my MTP didn't come with VDJ as advertised, and frankly, I think Traktor is considerably harder to read and navigate, its just not as a nice a program to use, compared to VDJ.

Well happy I did, though - free upgrades for life? Yes please.
Free access to all the skins to make mine more 'mine'? Yes please.
Plus, just about any future controller you choose to buy will be supported with no further software to install, AND your old controllers will have resale value, as you can sell them with the (unregistered) LE software that came with them. Yes please!

As one-off investments go, it IS a sound deal.

And I'm just a hobbyist...

Just my 10p.

There are considerable differences between VirtualDJ LE which is free limited software and the full VirtualDJ Pro. You can see a summary comparison of the main features of VirtualDJ LE vs the full Pro on the following page: http://www.virtualdj.com/products/comparison.html

The full VirtualDJ Pro is actually very good value for everything that it offers including video mixing, karaoke, support for a large number of controllers and full ability and freedom to customise the software to suit your own preferences.

Some other software is offered at reduced price as an incentive to purchase in the knowledge that they should make their money from you over time by charging for each major upgrade. Also, if they make and sell bespoke hardware for their software, you will be more likely to purchase this too.

We offer similar incentives for LE users to upgrade to the full Pro and the discount can be upto 50% depending on the product that you upgrade from (More expensive product generally means greater discount.)
 
Thats is only thing tbh that sets me a drift on the pro package. Can't download my controller. it is PRO licence only :( i don't Dj for major clubs,, or go mobile as of yet.. so paying out all tht huge price not sure i will benefit from it. over 200Pounds! uk sterling is a hell of a lot just for me to use my controller with. When the controller just cost me over 300pounds.
Controller Mappings Thats is all i would use from the other things involved.. so another $200 just so i can use.
 
You can't download it because you are not entitled to it. Your LE license that came FREE with your Hercules MP3 e2 entitles you to use that controller only.

Controller mappings are a Pro feature and if you want to be able to have the freedom to be able to use other controllers (including any that you purchase in the future) then you will need to upgrade to the full VirtualDJ Pro. The only alternative is to purchase a controller that comes with its own version of VirtualDJ LE included.

If your Numark N4 came with VirtualDJ LE included then simply register its serial number to your account and you will then be able download the most recent VirtualDJ LE for it from the download center. Or simply install it from the VirtualDJ LE installation CD.

If it came with a competitor's product then the manufacturer Numark might be willing to swap it for VirtualDJ LE if you contact their support http://www.numark.com (Because the N4 is a more expensive product, the discount from its VirtualDJ LE should be greater than Hercules MP3 e2.)

NOTE: The upgrade is also a one of cost that you won't have to pay again, including if you purchase other controllers in future.
 
Clearly a statement to ignore ...

As stated above there are considerable differences as mentioned by viewing the comparison chart.

True. Not being a working DJ it can be perceived as a Major investment. But look at it this way ...

  • You are already familiar with VirtualDJ and don't have learn something new.
  • You don't have to go through the process of setting up your tracks for a different software.
  • If you have a need to switch between the DJControlMP3 e2 and Numark N4 -- you don't have to worry about using different software products, just switch out the controllers.
  • If you decide in the future you want to upgrade again to a different controller -- you have over a 150+ already support (and more being added every day) choices to chose from with out having to change software.
  • You have the benefit of expanding your library from just Audio (MP3, WAV, etc) to include Video and/or Karaoke without the need to spend more money.
  • Then you have all the standard selling points -
    [list]
  • Great Forum community and top-notch support staff for help when needed
  • Customization to your liking ... interface (skins) and controllers mappings (via VDJScript)
  • Large collection of audio (and video) effects to add
  • Updates to minor/major version releases, currently at no additional cost
  • ...

[/list]

So, again; as a non-working DJ it is an investment. But an investment with return that doesn't just stop at spending the money. And if you decide to become a working DJ - you will easily make your money back and realize the value of your investment after one (1) gig.

Hopefully that helps...

Cheers

Ok, first; there is nothing that using Traktor or any other DJ software could possibly do to mess up you VirtualDJ configuration that would require a 'factory reset'.

And a 'Factory Reset' on an LE version is just that - you are reset to the LE limitations. But if you do this (as you have found out) during your 20-day trial - then you have foreit your remaining trial days.

As to your 'PRO' aspirations - you know what the VirtualDJ software has in it and can do. Since you now have an LE version for the N4 you can evaluate the functionality and performance using the LE. So, I understand your frustration - but I think you can clearly evaluate your decision to upgrade with the experience you have with the product between the Hercules MP3 e2 LE, Numark N4 LE and Home Edition.
 
Well i aint lying. it did! why else would i Factory reset it. Did not do it for the fun of it..
 
i will definatly be going PRO version in the next couple weeks. one thing this LE vert has given me is a Huge! discount to upgrade to pro. but more so because this is only software that is easier to manage than traktor / serato / ect.. Its not all complex to get to know and use unlike traktor. Wish i had never got traktor its so confusing and took me 2days just to get bloody N4 mapped! and its still not correct. So yeah i am going to need something i can handle and also really enjoy. and this VDjPro is perfect for me. So Will upgrade on my payday soon :)

Actually there is. There's far too much software which will mess with your ID3 tags or even file names by default if you're not careful.

Yes, it could possibly be undone by having VDJ scan everything again, but a new user may not know that.

After buying Traktor myself when they added the Remix Decks, I ended up having to create a Traktor specific user login on my PC with different permissions, just to prevent Traktor from messing with my files.

If he's created his VDJ database then run Traktor, I can quite easily see how the VDJ data could be affected.

Please read my statement again very carefully -- there is nothing that using Traktor or any other DJ software could possibly do to mess up your VirtualDJ configuration that would require a 'factory reset'.

Factory Reset returns the registry entries (plist for OSX) to their factory defaults. It does not touch the database or mapping files. It does not touch sound drivers. It does not touch your audio,video, and/or karaoke tracks. And, I did not say anything about the MP3 or MP4 tags - which the reset does not touch either

I wasn't calling anyone a liar. Its just FACT based on what is actually done by the Factory Reset routine. What ever your problem was it most likely could have been resolved differently than using the factory reset.
 
I currently have V 7.4 and hear 8 will be coming out soon. Will this be a FREE upgrade or will we be charged?
