    Ah, so if I was to plug my headphones directly into my laptop, then Audio 2 DJ is not needed unless I want to plug it into a speaker or cue up my next tracks and listen ahead of time. If I am understanding correctly.

    If you plug your headphones directly into your laptop, you will hear the master channel in your ears. Its a case of either/either mate. If you have your soundcard plugged in, then that is your source, not your internal audio, which is disabled.

    Since you're new to everything, i'll break it down for you.
    What a dj is listening to in the headphones, isn't whats coming out of the speakers.
    It's the next track thats going to play. This is necessary since you need to get them on beat with each other, and know a good place to start the mix.
    So with an audio 2, you would be able to run the main out(master) to the speakers. And also have the next song(cue) in your headphones.

    A VCI-100 and audio 2 is a killer starting set up. Hell its a killer pro setup.

    I understand completely now. Thanks for the help. I will stick without a soundcard for now and look forward for Audio 2 later. I am planning on picking up a book, and learn some scratching techniques. So about the firmware update kit, is that needed? That should be my last question. Thanks again everyone for helping me so far. I already order my VCI.

    If you ordered your vci from djtt's then it will already have firmware 1.4 installed. If your ordered from somewhere else, then you don't really need the update kit since the djtt mappings are designed to work with all firmware versions. However the original firmware on the VCI had some problems with glitches and what not(and no smart knobs), so in order to take full advantage of the djtt's mappings, you'll need to update.

    Understood. Thanks Str8upDrew, and thanks again to everyone else that helped answer my questions. I suppose now all I can do is play the waiting game till it gets here.
