UPDATE: Serato DJ DVS is free on the SZ anyway but a paid update on other controllers. But choice is good, especially when it’s free. So you can hook up a pair of turntables or CDJs and rock VDJ8 timecode, and because of the SZ’s architecture and VDJ routing flexibility, you can also record your whole set internally. I’m told that you can use VirtualDJ 8 Pro’s new DVS engine with the DDJ-SZ without an external audio interface. For existing DDJ-SZ owners, this link gives you everything you need to get your free copy, but only up until February 28th 2015. To make this deal happen, every DDJ-SZ shipped mid December onwards will include a key code card, complete with a serial number that will give you a free download of the complete VDJ8 Pro. It’s officially supported by both Pioneer and Atomix, so it’s going to be a really tight match. Pioneer DJ has just announced that its uberbeast of a controller, the DDJ-SZ, is now playing very nicely indeed with Virtual DJ 8 Pro as well as Serato DJ. Yes, it’s that VirtualDJ name again, and this time coming from a source that I didn’t expect.
