Mixing music is usually associated with DJs. That's because, in theory, it's really difficult to mix music and to have great results if you are not an experienced DJ. But in the last few years, this theory has changed, due to the large number of mixing applications which were launched. These applications allow you to become a professional DJ over night, without requiring much experience.

These applications usually require you to have some computer experience and that's it. A good example in this case is VirtualDJ. This Windows program allows you to mix music together and to add various real-time effects to songs. After the program has been installed and launched, the user is presented with a complex interface, which features two mixing decks and numerous controls. It may take some time until the user will learn all the controls, but after spending some time reading the program manual, everything should be clear enough.

The first thing to do in order to mix music is to add the desired songs to the two decks. This can be done in two ways, either using drag and drop or by browsing through the files and folders located on the hard disk and selecting the desired song, using the built-in file explorer. After adding the desired songs, the user will be able to automatically adjust the tempo of the first song, to match the tempo of the second. In this way, one will be sure that the final mix will sound as it should.

During playback, the user can add various effects to the song, which will change the way it sounds in real time. Each effect has a knob which can adjust its intensity and strength. More effects can be downloaded from the program's website. Besides effects, the user can also add short loops to the song, for making it more interesting.

During playback, the program can record the mix or it can burn it directly to a CD, in real time. There is also the possibility of broadcasting the mix live on the Internet, but configuring this feature may be a bit tricky for some inexperienced computer users. By accessing the options section of the program, the user will be able to set up the soundcard configuration and to choose the number of decks that will be used, which can be either 2 or 4.

Pros

It allows you to easily mix songs together and adjust their tempo completely automatically. Besides that, several audio effects can be added to the songs in real time. Furthermore, mixes can be recorded live, can be burned on a CD or can be broadcast directly on the Internet.

Cons

Configuring the broadcast feature may be a bit tricky for some users. Using VirtualDJ, you can easily mix music like a professional DJ.
