Check out Traktor - allot of credible DJ's in KL's underground using it. They usually supplement it with a couple of additional stuff though:

External soundcard (one with more than just 1in1out) I personally use a M-audio quattro with 4ins4outs

Then...

You find a DJ mixer (DJM500's are allot of fun) or even the Behringer models arent so bad.

Then...

You take 2 outs and plug them into 1 channel of thie mixer - the other two on another channel.

In Traktor's preferences, swap to External Mixer mode - that way you can cue with the mixer, and mix as if you have 2 virtual decks with Traktor.

Of course - if you REALLY want to get fancy.

You can sync a few Traktor computers together - plug in more drum machines - and mash up tracks like a nutcase. But your ears are gonna bleed and your fingers are gonna go numb after the 4th hour.

We tried it. This is about 5 in the morning at a jam session.

Its sort of Final Scratch mode without the scratchamp hardware - Traktor's nice cos you can loop - and the differenciating factor between Traktor and cd/vin mixing is that now that it allows you to go beyond what two decks can do - ie: mashing loops up or multiple syncs

Let us know how your progress goes! I'd be interested to see if KL's gonna have another Juan Atkins smile.gif

Man, that looks sick..... Would definately want to invest more cash in a proper DJ setup the next time....... once my MacBook arrives next year (Waiting for the next upgrade), I think I MIGHT get Final Scratch....... provided I don't buy any more new guitars!!

Well - check out Serato by Raine - they have some seriously good hardware AND it uses Traktor as a backend as well. Final Scratch is nice - but Stanton don't stand behind their design as firmly as Raine does.

Yeah man - the next rev of the Macbooks - thats gonna be SIiiiiiickkk...

Have you checked out Ableton Live?

What happened to them? Did they break? Or did the diaphram tear?

I've got a friend who's swearing by his Behringers - but then again - for about RM500 you can pick up a pair of Technics or Pioneer headphones.

Great for DJ/LivePA but they really hurt your ears if you wanna do studio monitoring for a mixdown.
