The Behringer platters sure do have my interest piqued too…

My tip? Record EVERYTHING!
Listen back, think how you could have done that mix differently, try different methods, experiment…

Now im probably gonna get in trouble for this suggestion here… but this is just for LEARNING purposes only, never ever do this if you play out! You have a favourite DJ mix, yeah? Buy the singles in that mix, first, try to recreate that mix, think about how the original dj did each blend, then try to recreate it. Practice practice practice. When you have that nailed, take the tracks and stamp YOUR ideas on there, change the order, remove tracks and try them with other new tracks you like.. cut it up but remember, always record and then listen back… there will be no one more critical of your work then yourself!

Love it, Softcore!

Sweet, keep everyone on here posted, im sure there are a few of us in the North West

100% Agree, but try typing that sentiment on any other DJ forum and be prepared to be shot down in flames

I D/L Virtual DJ home, still use and love it now.
Having used turntables years ago it was fairly intuitive how to use it, despite the lack of headphones to cue up.
In hind sight i should have just learned the keyboard shortcuts instead of trying to do it all on the mouse, and setting intro outro cue points on the tunes in my library would have made sets better and more fluid (but i wasnt used to that luxury on vinyl, id cue up a good point to mix, in my phones and use this method, and 99% of the time i still do)

But… the shortcomings above with Home V-DJ MADE me go out and buy it, so i could have headphones and be able to split the sound outputs and use an analogue mixer for hands on mixing… Which would later lead to buying a controller.
And some of the lessons id learned trying to struggle on with the home version, i could transfer these skills to the full version that i could now fully control, making me better then i ever was on vinyl

Me too, if its good enough for commercially available Compact Disc recordings…

Some people mix off booth speakers on this second signal as well as the phones, so i gather, but dont quote me on that… i mix off phones only
A better use for them in my opinion is for jacking in to a “house ” mixer in a club, (or an analogue mixer at home if you have one) with the output routing configured something like 1&2 deck one, in to one side of the line in on the external mixer, and 3&4 being deck 2 on the other line in on the mixer, using the hose mixers phone socket and cue facilities – 99 times out of 100 they are far superior to use and just so much nicer
