The best way to start is with the official version. It’s a legal, no-cost download directly from virtualdj.com. You can use it at home for non-commercial purposes, learning the interface, practicing beatmatching, and experimenting with all the core features using just your mouse, keyboard, and laptop speakers. For 30 years, VirtualDJ has been committed to helping new DJs discover the world of DJing without the high costs of traditional equipment, and the free version is the embodiment of that vision.
