VirtualDJ (VDJ) is audio and video mixing software for DJs on Microsoft Windows and macOS, developed by Atomix Productions.
The first version of VirtualDJ appeared on 1 July 2003. VirtualDJ is the successor to AtomixMP3, the first version of which dates from September 2000. Development of AtomixMP3 stopped in December 2003, following the release of its successor, VirtualDJ. VirtualDJ existed in three different versions until 2009: Home Edition (sold in stores), PRO (only available online), and Limited Version (free with certain MIDI controllers). In late 2009, a new version called VirtualDJ Basic went on sale as a budget-friendly alternative to VirtualDJ Pro, without MIDI control.
Since May 2014, following the release of version 8, five licence options have been available: Pro Infinity (the full version, one time purchase, free updates), Pro Subscription (same access as Pro Infinity but a monthly subscription charge), Business (same access as Pro Infinity with addition support services), Home Plus (Hardware control limited to a single device type), Home User (No hardware control other than a 10 minute trial when you start the software).
