• Sticky: RESOURCES & INFO

  Read the sidebar just to make sure you're in the right place. As of right now, I am the first and only member/mod of the subreddit. I created the sub because I love this DAW and noticed it didn't have much of an active following outside of the community forums on gigperformer.com itself. If you use Gig Performer and have a reddit account, feel free to join and share! Source: almost 2 years ago

• Is there a PC program where I just load plugins themselves and interface with that plugin's control panel? Instead of having to load through MPC Beats or another DAW/production type of program.

  Gig Performer does this easily (https://gigperformer.com) but disclaimer: I'm one of its developers. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Looking for a DJ Program

  To "live DJ" there's the extremely famous https://virtualdj.com/ To create prerecorded DJ sets https://www.mixmeister.com/ Been using both for at least 10 years, love them both. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Looking for a DJ Program

  Not open source, but free for "home use" https://virtualdj.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Can you help me to start?

  I started with Virtual DJ to get used to the software latency (I came from turntables) and get my muscle memory on button locations (which is why I stayed with the same brand). VDJ has every feature you need. The software is free to use without a controller from virtualdj.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• Music & video playlists at Oz/Goodfriends/etc

  A lot of the places that do it from scratch I notice use https://virtualdj.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• A-B Looping software for background music in D&D/RPG games?

  DJ software, like VirtualDJ will have features that are more conducive to what you're trying to do, like live looping functions that help you lock the loop to the beat. It's also cheaper (free for non-commercial use without a hardware controller) than QLab, and it's cross-platform (QLab is Mac-only, if that matters). Source: almost 2 years ago
