Fan nae Số: NOTES be
VirtualDJ installs files into the following locations:
Default application path on:
>» Windows - C:\Program Files\VirtualDJ\
> MAC OS X - /Applications/
All Application Configuration, Plug-ins, Skins, Database, Playlist, Tracklisting, Languages and Support Files are stored in:
>» Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\My Documents\
> Windows VISTA & Windows 7 - C:\Users\{username}\Documents\VirtualDJ\
> MAC OS X - /Users/{username}/Documents/VirtualDJ/
All settings are saved in
> Windows Registry - HKEY CURRENT _USER\Software\VirtualDJ
> MAC OS X - /Users/{username}/Library/Preferences/com.atomixproductions virtualdj.plist
UPGRADING to Version 7
When upgrading VirtualDJ from prior versions, the default application path stays the same and the application configuration, plug-in, skins, database files, and support files are copied to appropriate location listed above
Upgrading from version 3 or Prior —
VirtualDJ v7 will not carry forward any existing information from your existing setup You will have to analyze and set cue points after adding your collection to the new database
Upgrading from version 4
If possible; you should have your COMPLETE ‘Gig Ready’ setup completely connected before running the latest version for the first time This will give VirtualDJ the ability to build the appropriate database files using the information from the previous version database files
Upgrading from version 5
All existing database information will be maintained However, a new database file is created to accommodate the new Unicode support provided in version 6
Upgrading from version 6
All existing database information will be maintained
Trang 8Sf DIE NOTES — Database `
What are the database files and what do they contain?
There are 2 database files used by VirtualDJ One is the CORE file that is created and maintained in the documents folder location of the respective platforms on the internal drive The other is the SUPPORTING file(s) that are created on the respective additional drives (internal or external) in the
‘Root’ directory of the drives
The Core database is titled - VirtualDJ Database v#.xml
The Supporting database(s) are titled — VirtualDJ Local Database v#.xml
# - this symbol in the file name represents the version number of VirtualDJ that created the file
How it works
For versatility and flexibility, VirtualDJ’s database system segments the database to each drive attached to the system
The data stored in the database files
> Relative path to the file stored on the drive (Relative to the assigned drive letter/mount id)
> VirtualDJ’s analyzed data about the tracks — song length, bpm, key, etc
> Imported ID3, MP4, and MOV Tag Information
> Automix information
The ‘split’ database design 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, venue or mobile setup to utilize a single 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
First time opening VirtualDJ when upgrading
With the ‘split’ database files and depending on the size of the previous database, the FIRST LAUNCH of VirtualDJ may act like it has stopped at the application’s splash screen Please have patience 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
lf you continue to have questions or need more information to continue your setup, please refer to
the Audio Setup guide and/or User Guide for more information
