What's the best Latency settings for virtual dj? I don't have a really fast laptop but it's not that slow but I notice sometimes whenever I play music the songs skip. Whats ultra Latency should in have this turned on?

depends a bit on your platform and soundcard..
But assuming you are on windows, and use asio drivers, set to 0 (automatic) in VirtualDJ.
And in the brands asio settings, try set 256, 512 or even 1024 if needed
that should fix it, and 512 samples is usually plenty
Can also try this tool to detect any resource hog background process should you need really high latency buffer : https://www.resplendence.com/latencymon

This is really a question of how low can you set it without ever hearing any pops from setting it too low. The answer depends on the capabilities of your setup really, but the lower you can get it the better because this means there will be minimal delay between your actions and the results heard coming out of your speakers. Too high of latency and it becomes difficult or impossible to do things in time with the music.

Weird that the options settings doesn't mention anything about 0 being automatic mode. Atomix is usually very thorough about that sort of thing.

It sets to 256 by default and mentions nothing about "automatic" anywhere for that setting.

The 'ASIO' button just says to the driver 'open the asio control panel' though.
VirtualDJ doesn't know what this panel will offer, so besides buffer sizes it could offer channel configurations, samplerate, bitdepth, level adjustments etc...
To make it even more complicated, some ASIO drivers only allow the buffer size to be changed from the control panel, and then that is the only buffer size the software can take, so the latency setting in VirtualDJ does not have any effect.
For a driver that behaves nicely, it will indeed allow the software to set the buffer size, and VirtualDJ will indeed do this when the latency setting is changed.
The default for the latency setting is automatic though, so if it is not on automatic, it's kind of assumed that you already knew how to find it and modify it.

Yeah I figured out years ago if you're using 3rd party asio drivers then the 0 setting in VDJ is best.
