PCDJ Year In Review | 2019

20+ years in and we’re still having too much fun!

2019 marked our 20 year anniversary as a pioneer in the DJ software and karaoke software space. I personally started with PCDJ (then known as Visiosonic) as a fresh faced DJ at the age of only 22. I fondly recall those early days, when we launched the worlds-first commercially sold DJ software in the 1200sl, created the first professional DJ controller (DMC-1) with Numark, and unwaveringly lead the charge for the digital DJ revolution. It wasn’t always easy (“DJs will never use computers because they crash!”), but our passion for music, performing, and the DJ industry kept us fueled and full steam ahead.

Here we are in 2020 and our passion for creating awesome products DJs and KJs can rely for their livelihood is still coursing through our veins. As the old adage goes, do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. I can’t fib, some days it’s a grind, and indeed ‘work’, but the payoff is always worth extra hour of effort applied. .

It’s been a great year for PCDJ product updates and new partnerships with amazing people and companies. We’re incredibly happy to have you along for the ride. It’s you after all, the longtime vested PCDJ veteran and the new customer that trust us for their DJ and karaoke software needs, that inspire and drive us to do innovate and excel.

At the conclusion of each year we take a look back at he milestones and accomplishments attained for our DJ software and karaoke software lineup. Here’s how 2019 went for PCDJ:
