Is the software compatible with your equipment? This will give you an idea of what to expect before you pay to download the full version. Many software creators will also let you download a free or demo version of their program. So take this into consideration as it could save you money. Some controllers come bundled with a free key to download and install software. And for advanced options like a DVS you’ll need timecode vinyl and you may need a software add on. Do you need to buy a controller, a sound card, and will you need a DVS?Īll of these options will increase your final overall price. If you’re buying software you may only consider the price of the program, but will you need additional hardware? You need to decide exactly what you will be doing with the software. We’ll be looking at free DJ software later so you may be in luck.

Once you’re happy with the overall look, what about effects, samples and the ability to create loops? Is this something you need? And how about the ability to arrange your music library to make tracks easier to find when you’re deep in the mix? If you need extra features you want a program that makes these features as easy to access and use as possible.

Small icons and a cluttered screen can strain your eyes and makes for an unpleasant experience. You’ll be spending a lot of time using the interface and looking at the screen, so something easy on the eye is important. Some programs allow you to remove features that you don’t use to give you a more clean looking layout. For me there’s nothing worse than a cluttered screen. And many are complicated and are very messy. Some interfaces are more feature packed than others.
