Requirements
You need to have the following installed:
- VirtualDJ
- Traktor Pro
- Lexicon
Traktor needs to be started at least once.
You need an active Lexicon subscription. Basic is all you need. You can activate your subscription from inside Lexicon.
Steps
Converting from VirtualDJ to Traktor is very easy, just follow these steps.
Make sure VirtualDJ and Traktor are fully closed.
Open Lexicon.
Go to the Sync page.
- Click the
Import tracks & playlists
button at the bottom.
- Choose
VirtualDJ
. Lexicon should automatically detect your VirtualDJ database.
- Make sure
Full
is selected so your entire VirtualDJ library is imported.
- Click
Start importing
in the bottom right corner.
Now your entire VirtualDJ library will be visible in Lexicon. That was part one of the process. The second part is to sync your library to Traktor.
- Go to the Sync page again. This time we stay there and don't proceed to the import page.
- Choose
Traktor
. Lexicon should automatically detect your Traktor database.
- Make sure
Full
is selected and leave the other options on their defaults.
- Click
Sync to Traktor
in the bottom right corner.
After the process is complete, your VirtualDJ library will be fully converted to Traktor.
All your playlists are now converted to Traktor, including filter folders. All your tracks, cues, beatgrids and other tags will all be there.
Extra
For details and conversion limitations, please see the manual.
Lexicon does a lot to minimize the limitations of each DJ app, for example, through Field Mappings.
