I sold a couple of PC laptops and was almost going to buy a couple of turntables, a mixer and a sampler. But I knew that Mac's rocked at audio so I figured I could just do the DJ thing on a Mac. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have looked into some audio programs but most of them seem to be overkill (for now anyway). I am sure I will want to do bigger and better things, but I just want to be able to just to basic DJ stuff like any guy at amateur night at a club. I hope the powerbook I bought can do this. It seems from reading the forums that I shouldn't have a problem.
Thanks in advance Lectoid Powerbook G4 1Ghz 256M Ram 60 Gig HD |

yep... as a turntable/mixer replacement in digital domain... Traktor rocks... if you are considering that package... also consider getting something like the Echo card that has multiple outputs that you can use to monitor and cue. Also, i found that a nice midi keyboard controller will open lots of options creatively using Traktor... you can assign keys to do almost anything in the program. I was using my Oxygen8 with it and had one set of 4 rotary pots on it for Deck A EQ & gain and another set for Deck B EQ & gain... had pitch bend wheel control scratching... etc. Was really neat and easy to use.
