Stem separation is already on the decks
Separate a track while it plays

Separate the track as it plays
VirtualDJ 2026 splits a playing track into vocals, instruments, kicks, hi-hats, and the rest, using the computer you already have. The split is what makes live mashups and tighter transitions possible.
With real-time stem separation on any track, live mashups and seamless transitions are the working method:
- ModernEQ separates parts more tightly than a traditional frequency EQ, which is how the transitions stay clean.
- Stem pads build a live mash-up or remix while the track is playing.
Mashups while the track plays
Put the vocal from one song over the beat of another while both are playing. That mix was not available from a frequency EQ alone.
Transitions with the parts in hand
Stem separation on the EQs lets you move one element at a time, and tune those elements while the mix is live.
The DJ software people actually download
VirtualDJ is by far the most used DJ software on the planet, with over 300,000,000 downloads. There’s a reason why everybody starts with VirtualDJ.
Deep tools, short learning curve
The advanced tools sit in a layout a new DJ can learn. Home use without a paid gig is free.
More from the controller you own
Using VirtualDJ in place of the software bundled with a controller puts the fuller toolset on that hardware.

Thirty years as the DJ software people start with
With more than three hundred million downloads, VirtualDJ is by far the most used DJ software on the planet. Most DJs have met it at some point, whether they are starting or already working. The current build is where the newer tools show up.
DJ press has kept pointing at features that arrived in VirtualDJ before they showed up elsewhere. The point of using it is to have those tools in the set you are playing now.
- “... putting the other choices to shame with a wealth of features...”
- “... outmatches the competition in innovation, no other DJ software comes close”
- “... at the cutting edge of digital DJing today. An impressive feature set...”
- “... a killer piece of software - with features that don’t exist on competing software”
A mixer that starts on the computer
VirtualDJ lets you start mixing as a DJ right away, with just your computer. To practice and learn, or prepare sets and playlists. VirtualDJ works for every type of DJ, with or without hardware.
A library you can search in a set
Search, smart folders, and playlists, plus AI suggestions, requests, and the online catalogs.
Video and audio in the same set
VirtualDJ supports a multitude of audio, video, and karaoke formats. Entertain your guests with visuals, video mixing, or karaoke.
Effects and samples in the install
Audio and video effects ship with the program, along with a sampler for sound and video loops.
03
Performance you can take to a gig
Independent studies show that VirtualDJ has the lowest crash-ratio in the industry. The code is built to stay smooth on a gig, which is the reason to trust it with a set.
Hardware, from first controller to the booth
VirtualDJ supports more DJ controllers and hardware than any other software. Plug and play covers more than 300 controllers, from entry-level boxes to club mixers. Detection is automatic, and the mapper sets a control to the action you want.
Catalogs, inside the program
Stream partner catalogs from inside VirtualDJ. Play from the songs those catalogs carry, follow their charts, and build playlists, including karaoke, music videos, and the wider lists. A request does not have to wait on a file you forgot to bring.
The feature list other decks chase
VirtualDJ carries a long feature list, and new tools have a habit of showing up here first. The set you play can use what is already in this build.
