Hey Yall,
What’s the best Dj program for djing with only your computer (Macs)? Someone mentioned a program a few months ago that you would use usb headphones with. I looked a little for such headphones and haven’t had any luck.
I’ve been owning a vci-300 and never got it to work with my laptop, not sure if I’m gonna sell it or get a new computer later.. My 300 worked with a friends computer but, mine doesn’t detect it. I went to a local store that sells 300’s and some of theirs would work with my computer and some wouldn’t. Something isn’t consistent with the 300’s. I know I’m not the only one that had this problem from others whom have posted the same. Anyway, I’m in a situation where I’d like to use my laptop alone until I get it straightened out.
Thanks, Beetz
with only a mouse and qwerty keyboard at your disposal for controls, your best bet is ableton because you can record any complex automations prior to your gig. This way your set quality isn’t compromised by your limited setup.
Unfortunately I don’t have my setup together yet (because of the 300 issues, yes, I did try new usb cords) so, I’m looking for the best program to dj live with only my laptop. With ableton can I cue/mix with only a laptop?
Thanks
you should give Virtual Dj a spin…its really easy to use with just keyboard and mouse…alot easier than Traktor in my opinion…but it mite lack a little bit in the fx dept if you use fx heavily..also give Ableton a try…Before I got into digi DJing I saw Rabbit On the Moon play out live once with no controller at all…now knowing what Ableton is capable of I think its safe to say that he was also using Ableton…Also you dont have to buy a USB headphone what you can do is a buy a cheap USB soundcard (im using a Logitech one that cost me 10 bones) and hook it up to your existing headphones and use it to cue via ASIO4ALL..
Thanks for the info guys… I’m hearing some say Traktor Pro and some Ableton. I’m gonna start a thread and get everyone’s opinion as to what they prefer.
Thanks Again
