Critics often argued the interface looked "cluttered" or "amateur" compared to the sleek black look of Serato Scratch Live, but proponents loved the customizability. The software allowed users to download and install "skins," changing the entire layout of the interface to suit their workflow.
The installation process was straightforward. Users could download the installer from the official website, and those who purchased a physical copy would insert the installation CD-ROM, which would typically start the setup wizard automatically. After installation, new users could launch a fully-featured trial version of Virtual DJ Pro v6.0.1, which allowed them to explore its entire suite of tools for a limited period (such as 20 days) before requiring a license key. This trial model was crucial for allowing aspiring DJs to test the software's capabilities before making a financial commitment.
For DJs who grew up on the software, V6.0.1 is a nostalgic trip back to the golden era of digital DJing—the time when the laptop first took center stage in the DJ booth. It was a version that proved software could be powerful enough for superstars like Carl Cox, yet simple enough for a beginner with a laptop to start their first mix. It successfully democratized the art of spinning records, and its influence is still felt in every DJ app available today.
By 2009, the software had gone through several major iterations. While VirtualDJ was already a popular choice, the DJ landscape was rapidly changing with the proliferation of USB and MIDI controllers. Hardware like the Behringer BCD2000, the Hercules DJ Console series, and the Vestax VCI-100 were becoming staples for modern DJs. Virtual DJ Pro v6.0.1 was not just an update; it was a complete re-imagining of how DJ software could and should interact with external hardware. It was a direct response to the community's needs, built upon a new philosophy that put customization and controller integration at its core. VIRTUAL DJ PRO V6.0.1
Due to its lightweight footprint, it became the go-to software for DJs running older laptops or netbooks. The low CPU and RAM consumption meant that even during intensive video mixing sessions or multi-deck timecode scratching, the risk of audio dropouts or software crashes was virtually non-existent.
