If you want to record a radio show at 2 AM, Bandicam can start and stop recording automatically. Virtual DJ cannot.

That is where Bandicam comes in. Unlike basic screen recorders that capture "everything you hear" (which often includes Skype dings or browser notifications), Bandicam offers precision.

Save your sets in high-quality AVI or MP4 formats, perfectly optimized for YouTube or social media .

| Component | What it does | Why it matters | |-----------|--------------|----------------| | | Adds a lightweight “Virtual DJ” module to Bandicam that can automatically detect when Virtual DJ starts, stops, or changes decks. | Eliminates the need for the DJ to manually launch Bandicam each time. | | Virtual DJ Add‑on (Script/API Hook) | Exposes a few simple API callbacks (e.g., OnPlay , OnPause , OnTrackChange ) that Bandicam can listen to. | Guarantees accurate timing for the video‑capture and lets Bandicam embed deck‑state metadata (track names, BPM, cue points). | | Hot‑Key Sync Layer | A user‑configurable global hot‑key (e.g., Ctrl + Shift + R ) that simultaneously triggers “Start Recording” in Bandicam and “Play” in Virtual DJ (or the opposite for stop). | One‑press control—ideal for live performances or streaming. | | Metadata Overlay (Optional) | When enabled, Bandicam draws a transparent overlay on the video showing the current track title, BPM, and any active effects. | Makes the recorded video instantly informative for viewers without any post‑production work. | | Audio‑Routing Helper | Uses Windows WASAPI loopback or a virtual audio cable (e.g., VB‑Audio) to capture exactly the audio output that Virtual DJ is sending to the speakers. | Guarantees bit‑perfect audio quality and eliminates the “record‑what‑you‑hear” lag that can appear with ordinary desktop capture. |

In Virtual DJ's "Audio Setup," ensure your Master output is directed to a sound card that Bandicam can detect.
