    Hi As former Tractor user I know there are lots of mappings to find (look hard enough) for lots of controllers.

    There are also lots of cheap starter cntrollers second hand…. like the ones from reloop …
    There not to bad to start with…. you can buy under 60 bucks

    Then the matter of software… Try Tracktor, try Virtual DJ, Try Serato scratch… these seem to the way to go ..

    When time comes invest your first earnings as a DJ in a better controller …

    Why I switched to Serato from Tractor? Tractor produced alot of extra files…And I teamed up with my DJ mate and the logical choise was to upgrade to SERATO.
    No we do not use SYNC…. we sync on sight and hearing…. using minimal Headphones… We interact alot with our audience

    Hi what kind of problems do you run into?

    I your Toshiba uses a AMD processor you are likely to run into (sound distorion and digital noise) problems.
    If it is an i3 Intel….in some cases same thing…
    You can make it work but you have to get into the computer management and shutdown hardware from using resources… but is no garranty

    I run two Lenovo T 530 at this moment… 8 gigs of RAM and a SDD disk.

    This run my laptops very fast.

    This fall I start testing the Toshiba Z50. Mostly becoause my Lenovo are getting older and are heavy.
    Also the z50 has a back-lite keyboard

    Further… I know this sound like a bummer But don’t do regular work on your music laptop… Just update windows, and other stuff… but thats it… no office tasks or school projects and NO INTERNETTING.

    This wil prevend general problems with playing serato

    Hope this helps
