How To Digital DJ Scratching? Need Help!!

Hello everybody!
First of all, sorry for my bad english.

I’ve been making hip hop beats for about 1 year and finally got some money to start practice DJing.
Last week I bought an used Technics SH-EX1200 mixer and gonna buy a pair of Technics SL1200 MK2 after selling a couple of things. I already have a RME Babyface audio interface too.

My doubts:

1 - Can I use this mixer and interface for digital djing?
2 - Which software and timecode can I use with my setup?
3 - Is there something important I should know?

I’m really LOST, didn’t found the answer for my questions anywhere.

Thanks for the patience :slight_smile:

I don’t believe that mixer can be used as an audio interface for DVS, so you’ll need to buy a Serato or Traktor (there are other DVS systems out there, but these are the most popular) certified soundcard to plug the mixer and your laptop into.

Make sure you have a beefy laptop so as to avoid any potential latency issues with digital djing, especially with hip hop and scratching IMO.
