Ah, I hope it will discuss the basics of the top three competing s/w namely Serato, TP and VDJ. And this is definitely a must-have for me as a total newb, trying to enter the DJing hobby a few months back. This is gonna be one awesome, awesome stuff! Thanks Phil!
PaulMemberI might get a MIDI fighter for cue point juggling. The cue point juggling is all new to me, and I’d want to experiment a la Ean Golden 🙂
PaulMemberWell I guess you already did that on your siggy above ^ 😀
PaulMemberI’m actually interested in the production side of things, how does FL studio fare? I’m trying to look around their site and all, and I’m looking at FL Studio Producer Edition as well
PaulMemberUh well, the Numark Mixtrack Pro may be used to control four decks. This can be done via Skins and/or mappings esp on Virtual DJ. I have actually tried it myself though I’m still not very comfy controlling four decks as I’ve just started learning DJing a few months back.
As with any other DJ software, I am not so sure, but I think it’s just with how you map your controller
PaulMemberWow emma, just wow. We’re of almost the same age, but you’ve withstood more storms than I. A strong woman you are! Hope to hear more of your music in the upcoming weeks.
PaulMemberWoah, really? I think i might go for a one-day trip to singapore this coming holidays then (lookin for some promos and discounts :D)
PaulMemberThanksalot Emma 😀 Nice to meet you at least here on the boards
PaulMemberI think playing mashups, remixes of single tracks from other DJs are a-ok. But whole DJ mixes are a no-no for me
PaulMemberOh cool, thanks man! Now I know that I am in the right direction! And then from that mixer, I’d connect it to the amps. Then from the amps, I would connect my two monitor speakers and a subwoofer. Am I correct? Thanks!

Ableton, I don’t think that it really is a DJ software. It has a more “producer” feel to it.
PaulMemberHey thanks guys. I’m looking at this PA mixer(not really sure if I’m correct), it’s pretty much a budget mixer IMHO. It’s an Allen-Heath Zed-10FX.
http://www.allen-heath.com/uk/Products/Pages/ProductDetails.aspx?CatId=ZEDSeries&ProductId=ZED10FX
As most of us know about the Mixtrack Pro(this is my current controller), it has two RCA outputs at the front of the controller. I’m not sure if I found the specs of the Zed-10FX to be correct, but I figure that it has “2 stereo sources with MP3 player compatibility” I just am not sure if this is the one that I should be looking for to connect my Mixtrack Pro into.
Then from there, I should connect this to the amps or to the speakers via the “XLR main stereo outputs with inserts” or “Stereo monitor outs”? Am I correct with this one?
PaulMember@Phil yep, right on the money. Creativity is really difficult as you need experimentation along with it, and it doesn’t come right off the bat. If writers and songwriters do have a “Writer’s Block” then Producers and DJs, and music artists as well must also have a “Musician’s Block”
PaulMemberHi All, yes thanks for the suggestions. However am I correct in my general Idea that it goes like that? The
Laptop>Controller – RCA Out>Mixer – RCA In> Amps>Speakers?
Is that the way how those things should be connected? Sorry, I’m totally waaaayyy new about these stuff although we do setup band instruments when I still had a band.
PaulMemberI’m currently at work and our firewall blocks streaming media so I’ll listen to it when I get home. Is FL studio free? Or if not, is there a sample demo pack. I’ve heard of some like garageband for the mac, Acid Pro where they have pre installed beats then what you ought to do is mix them by layers, am I correct?
