Operation Manual

Because of the ‘split’ database files and depending on the size of the previous database XML,
the FIRST LAUNCH of VirtualDJ after upgrading may act like it has stopped at the applications
splash screen. Please be patient and look for activity on the hard drive(s). VirtualDJ is reading
the prior version database and splitting the various entries across the respective hard drives of
the system.
The ‘split’ database files provide users of external hard drives the ability to COLD or HOT
SWAP drives between single and/or multiple systems. This allows for multiple DJs of a club or
venue to utilize 1 VirtualDJ installation and not have different logins in order to maintain
separate databases unique to each DJ. The DJ can just walk in, plug in the external device
and begin playing.
