A soundcard would help. What controller do you use?
Acer E5 i7 16GB 512SSD 2TBHD ~ WIN 10 ~ TSP 2.11 ~ AUDIO 6 ~ DUAL X1s ~ DN-X1600 ~ SPECTRA ~ TWISTER ~ ATH-PRO500 MK2 ~ ZED6FX ~ AT2020
" I’m the Dude, so that’s what you call me. That or, uh His Dudeness, or uh Duder, or El Duderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing. "
I just use an MPD24 ...
what does a soundcard help do? I assume the chip on my laptop board wont suffice ...
Soundcard will allow you to cue music in your headphones and send a better processed signal to the amp or powered speakers giving you clear sound. And that brings up the next thing you need speakers. Mackie Thumps have a pretty good rep. Audio 2 is probably the best bang for the buck when it comes to soundcards.
Speakers would help
And Headphones. And people! That's really all you need to do a basic show/party.
Oh and something I never see people say ... PAPER TOWELS! People love to put drinks down on your table where your setup is ... and 99% of the time they will get tipped over. Very annoying but it always seems to happen, so bring a roll of paper towels.
Training, preparation, experience are all key factors.

A donkey........oh not that kind of show. my bad
Technics 1210 MKII (x2) ~ Pioneer DDJ-RX ~ Allen & Heath Xone 2:02 ~ Traktor Pro 2 ~ Rekordbox DJ ~ Novation Dicer
soundcard. one of the ni cards will do, or if you feel like using firewire (which is an excellent idea) then grab a presonus firebox.
also, reading this article would probably be a good idea -> http://www.djtechtools.com/2009/12/2...ag-check-list/
other things I never leave without: masking tape, 1/4 cables, 1/4 to rca cables, 1/4 to xlr adapters, business cards, backup mix cd, sharpies, earplugs, cigarettes, lighter, sandwich meat, bread, condoms, switch blade, those glasses without the lenses, handgun, and a small popup tent.
