I am just wondering how I am able to get Traktor or any Djing program onto my PC. This would be useful as I am not able to access decks easily at the moment. Still saving to buy some. if anyone out there that has a Traktor or any dj program please help me with directions.

One thing people (especially non DJ's) miss when trying to DJ with software programs, is the fact that you need more than two outputs in order to monitor your music whilst DJ'ing. Ideally you would route one stereo output into your speakers, and then a second mono/stereo output to your headphones and then monitor that way.

Even better is to incorporate a DJ mixer with this setup and route the outputs into the left and right channels. Therefore you would need 4 outs, stereo each side. The headphones would be linked up directly to the DJ mixer. Considering th eprices of DJ mixers, it is probably worth getting one.

An alternative method, and one which could also be used in conjunction with this would be to buy a controller unit which allows you to control all the parameters via MIDI. It would be an idea to get one in the shape of a DJ controller though such as the Hercules controller. You still need 2 stereo outs ideally though.
