Topic: VirtualDj 8 Sneak Peak - Page: 18.5

This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

Does anyone know if your old skins will work with VDJ 8?
 
There has been no confirmation regarding v8 features or indeed backwards compatibility.

However, all previous versions have been backwards compatible to new versions.
 
Even if they are backwards compatible, for best results I'd have thought they'd need re-writing though - the new VDJ has a fancy new scaling feature that is presumably vector based...
 
Of course you are probably correct. It's probably a safe bet that the timeline feature will also be skin able and obviously no skins have this at present.

However old skins will probably be supported too.
 
I was under the impression V8 was already out.... what is the ETA?
 
Good one... lol

I take it you have been denied access to the internet for the last 9 month... rofl
 
I haven't been on forums in a few months. But I just went to download software updates, and I see the current one is 7.05....???

Is there another method of getting 8.xx?
 
It is not out yet.
 
Sometimes, you have to read the book, to get the story.

That's what "Cliff Notes" are for my friend, lol!! Nobody reads the whole book anymore.
 
That's the problem, you always miss something.
 
OK thanks... I'll start reading more.
 
 
Taken from the digitaldjtips article linked above:

It will also have coloured track waveforms, a feature also to be included – we can also exclusively reveal – in Virtual DJ 7.2. (Indeed, this is actually the only change in Virtual DJ 7.2 over Virtual DJ 7.1.)

Regarding release date, the Virtual DJ team say it’s getting closer, but the software has to be rock solid first, and it seems the company is quite happy to take however long it takes to achieve that. The latest word is Q2 next year.


Guess this will have to be confirmed by Atomix but that's what's in the article!

the news that Virtual DJ 8 will be the first multi-platform, multi-touch DJ app. That means that from the off, it will run on Windows, Mac and iOS

Wow!

As a windows, mac and iOS user it too made me go wow too!!

Thought things had gone quiet on the iRemote front- now I see why!!
 
I just read the entire article...wow indeed. Way to go TEAM!
 
Where is the "Like" button when you need one?? LOL I cant wait, multi touch support will be badazz while using a touchscreen!! Way to go team!
 
any update about VDJ 8?

Looking really good so far. Sample banks look amazing, macros that can trigger third party apps and lighting, and looks like elastic beat grid is there as well.

It will be well worth the wait
