hi all. i thought i'd chuck a pic of my setup up first. i use a Numark NS7, a Numark Dashboard, an Alto live mixer, and a Dell laptop. i play through a stereo amp to a monitor. and have two smallish subs hooked up to the amp as well. i use Virtual DJ. and have been for years. i used to mix with vinyl but digital tunes are definitely the way forward

the pic is just of my deck and the dashboard is the display at the back

how i found this site is another angle. i got a Subzero midi controller a while back (you can't see it in the pic) to use add extra effects & a couple of samples as the NS7 doesn't have any built-in slots. i've used a couple of hotcues buttons because there is no way i'll ever need five per track. but Subzero seem to be the most unmapped midi controllers going. it's not an issue because VDJ lets you map through the option/controllers script settings, which are another great leap forward. but i probably won't have it all set up and working the way i want until about November/December
