OS X El Capitan, please post your findings GOOD or bad here. I'm curious to see if it plays nice nice with VDJ8. I'm still on V.10.9.5 as i heard less than favorable reviews of Yosemite. Supposedly 'El Capitan' is 1.4x faster.

Musicians using Native Instruments should not update yet:
CRITICAL compatibility warning with the upcoming Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan upgrade
Dear XXXX
Before upgrading to the latest version of Mac OS X – version 10.11 El Capitan, please consider these potentially serious issues concerning your KOMPLETE, TRAKTOR, and MASCHINE products. Two major issues have been identified:
1. NI plug-ins do not pass the AUDIO UNITS validation in Mac OS X 10.11 – Logic Pro affected
In Mac OS X 10.11, Native Instruments AUDIO UNITS plug-ins will not pass the AU validation and will therefore not be available in Logic Pro. The root cause of this issue has been identified and a solution is currently being developed in close contact with Apple.
2. Incompatibility with some older NI hardware
There are compatibility issues between some older NI devices and Apple’s upcoming operating system. This issue triggers a 'kernel panic' – this serious problem will crash the connected computer immediately, resulting in loss of any unsaved work, or serious disruption of a performance.
The following hardware is affected:
TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 (MK1)
TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 (MK1)
TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 (MK1)
AUDIO 8 DJ
AUDIO 4 DJ
AUDIO 2 DJ
MASCHINE (MK1)
GUITAR RIG 3 (RIG KONTROL 3 hardware)
There are beta drivers already available that fix this issue. Updated drivers will be released as soon as they have been fully tested on OS X 10.11 – shortly after Apple releases OS X 10.11 to the public.
Download the beta drivers here
To keep your system working normally with the affected products, we strongly recommend waiting before upgrading your computer to OS X 10.11 El Capitan until these issues have been fully solved by either Native Instruments or Apple.
Stay up to date on all future developments regarding Mac OS X 10.11 compatibility here
Thank you for your attention,
The Native Instruments team
Also saw something from Numark to hold off on updating yet.

It's not about the software itself. It's about the hardware that may misbehave.

I'm looking to update to El Capitan (Currently on Yosemite 10.10.4 with no issues) but are essentially waiting for senior Atomix Productions staff to give the 'all clear'. Thanks in advance.

I've been running VDJ8 on El Cap for the last few weeks using the final version. (Us Apple devs have had the final build for the last 3 weeks.)
I've done over 8 events with it, some lasting 8+ hours and zero hiccups at all.
Obviously, your mileage (due to personal configuration) may/will vary. (My laptops are STRICTLY for music and do NOT have any other software installed except for iStat Menus'.)

I am using El Capitan (mac) and the upgrade took my prelisten setup away. When I tried to mess with it.. to find a new way to work it.. every time I hit the 'more' button on the sound setup selections, Vdj FROZE and i had to "Force Quit" Virtual DJ. I never did find a way to get prelisten the way I want it, because of having Virtual DJ FREEZE. Normally (for me), prelisten comes through my computer speakers, not my headset where I hear what i am streaming. With this Mac Upgrade, i am hearing the prelisten in my headset.. even though I did not change any settings in Vdj or Mac Preferences.

Up graded to El Capitan... with 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch top of the line. Using Pioneer DDJ SX-2 -- Everything including video is working great! Not true with the competition (Senato). Though I had a problem with seeing files... but then realized I had selected view only video files.... whoops. All is good!
BTW - for what it's worth: Recently switched back from Serato DJ to VDJ 8 - In my opinion... it's much more flexible than Serato DJ with Video add in or with Mix emergency running with Serato DJ - VDJ 8 more full featured and just as stable plus give me more than two video decks. .
