Instead of VirtualDJ
VirtualDJ alternatives
VirtualDJ spans beginner and professional DJ workflows, with audio and video mixing, karaoke playback, live separation of vocals, instruments, kicks and hi-hats, and support for DVS equipment and more than 300 controllers. It can broadcast radio, podcasts and video, connect with SoundCloud and Deezer, and play cached catalog songs offline while a subscription is active. It runs on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows, with dedicated mobile remote apps. The free license is for personal use, and paid or other commercial use requires an active PRO license.

The cost and equipment terms may be a reason to look elsewhere: HOME is $4 per month but retains a video logo and audio drops, while professional use and any DJ controller require PRO at $19 per month. Consider whether you need DJ performance tools or a different kind of audio workflow, and compare platform support, controller needs, streaming limits and paid features. Alternatives range from free DJ software to spatial-audio tools and video post-production, so the right fit depends on what you want to do rather than on feature count alone.
