DJ Requests can be a blessing and a curse at the same time, but all DJs at some point have taken them, but all manner of methods. But RequestNow aims to make that process simple, without having to step away from the decks, or deal with hardcore drunks wanting U2 during your Hip Hop gig (true story).
- Virtual Microphone addresses a fairly large crowd of user due to its capabilities that combine the voice morpher module with the text-to-speech section. Thus, Virtual Microphone can also be.
- While Djing with video, to add a shout out via text, it is too time consuming to add it to a video by having to use the editor! When text was part of the effects drop down menue, it was much faster and an on the fly type thing. It is cool that you can customize it much more, but could you please add back a drop down effect text option?
- Virtual DJ Studio redefines the concept of DJ and Karaoke software on the PC. VirtualDJ PRO Full. 3.6 on 2805 votes. This is an audio player with controls.
- With VirtualDJ you can easily have some nice video layouts displaying during broadcast without having to use 3rd party applications such as OBS etc. Videoskins is a feature that lets you have creative visuals right on the master video output to show during broadcasts or events.
This new plug-in gives Virtual DJ users the essential elements they need to create compelling visuals for the video output generated by Virtual DJ. Pangolin recognized the popularity text to screen and SMS voting had among the DJ and nightclub crowd, and discovered that they were having trouble implementing these features with other solutions on the market. They have created the Essential Visuals plug-in to help users overcome those difficulties, and to make text to screen, SMS voting, and a variety of other features easier than ever before.
The Essential Visuals plug-in provides a variety of benefits to its users. Not only will in run text to screen and SMS voting applications better than any other plug-in on the market, but it will also enhance the visual elements which can be created within the Virtual DJ program. Essential Visuals allows users to incorporate pictures (GIF, JPG, BMP, or PNG), borders (which can be placed around those pictures and other visuals generated by Virtual DJ), bar graph displays, as well as scrolling and non- moving text in various forms. Essential Visuals also supports full alpha blending of all components, so you can overlay onto I-Video, or music video. Up until now, these visual elements have not been supported very well, if at all, by other plug-ins or by the Virtual DJ program itself.
Exclusive to the Essential Visuals plug-in, Virtual DJ’s can now incorporate bitmap images (GIF, JPG, BMP, or PNG) into the scrolling text, similar to how the CNN logo is used in their news crawl. Before Pangolin created the Essential Visuals plug-in, file types such as animated GIF images were not supported within Virtual DJ. The ability to now use these file types offers Virtual DJ users a great advantage, and additional creative and artistic flexibility.
The Essential Visuals plug-in works in conjunction with Pangolin’s Interactive Messaging Unlimited (IMU) software. IMU is a powerful, easy to use, text message software similar to many email programs. It allows users to run text to screen chat, SMS voting, bulk SMS, text to win, and a variety of other popular text message applications. Text messages are fed to Virtual DJ through the IMU software, and in addition, IMU features a sophisticated word filter, to ensure the displayed messages are appropriate. Using the IMU software, users can pre-configure as many SMS voting sessions as they like. Voting sessions on topics like “battle of the bands”, “favorite song”, and “best-dancer” can all be setup before the event takes place. Interactive Messaging Unlimited is currently being used by a variety of nightclubs, churches, and local businesses across the world to add fun text message components to their venues and events. Chris Kelley, a Virtual DJ user and owner of gMedia Inc. (http://www.gmediaonline.com), out of Indiana says, “This new plug-in surpasses anything like it on the market! As a professional DJ, the ability to run Text to Screen applications within the Virtual DJ software is a huge benefit for me. In addition, this plug-in is extremely easy to use. The help file that comes with the plug-in is great, and I was able to configure my setup in minutes.”

For some DJs, it is the fuel that drives them, and for others it’s the thing that drives them to despair. DJ Requests can be a blessing and a curse at the same time, but all DJs at some point have taken them, but all manner of methods. But RequestNow aims to make that process simple, without having to step away from the decks, or deal with hardcore drunks wanting U2 during your Hip Hop gig (true story). It’s all done via the wonder full medium of texting.
RequestNow is essentially a direct link from the punter to the booth, without having to interact directly with the great unwashed spoiling your flow. The basic premise is this — in RequestNow you set up an event, publish a phone number and people can simply text you their requests. Hardly rocket science, but the clever part comes in trying to decipher the requests. Built in to RequestNow is a parsing engine that will attempt to match sparse texts to actual songs. It’ll have no trouble with “umbrella by rihanna”, or indeed handle some spelling mistakes along the way. It might however struggle with “Yesterday” unless you qualify it with an artist, especially as there are a documented 2500 versions.
And it’s very much a 2 way thing as well, as RequestNow send back texts to people to confirm their choice, as well properly managing request lists rather than trying not to lose bits of paper. On top of that, you can add your own details to the return texts too, so that your audience is in no doubt who their DJ is.
Aside from making request management a whole lot easier, it does give an immediate air of professionalism to your DJ events, as well as letting the crowd feel like they’re part of the show as well. As a DJ, it could also make you feel like a jukebox of course, but I guess you’ll already have taken that into consideration if you’re even looking at this.
