I managed to pick up a NI Traktor 2 used at a decent price (well, decent for Canadians anyways). I like it so far; smaller than I expected, large gain without distortion, clean pot. The ability to drive headphones could be better, but hifi really isn't a consideration when DJ'ing; I've got my audiop...

And then there is my current recommendation: Native Instruments Audio 2 Convincing recommendation! How would you compare it to the Echo Indigo DJx Expresscard ? For the past few years I have been using the Echo Indigo PCMCIA DJ card (awesome sound by the way!) but would love to fully switch over fr...

The big problem with computer audio (and laptops especially) is noise from the other components. Power supply is a big culprit, but other devices also inject noise. USB devices fix a lot of problems, but you can get a lot of noise off usb too. On a laptop, you an at least run off battery and get rid...

My tagging system is very haphazard and I've taken to just shoving everything into the comment field (although I use the BPM and date fields for the appropriate info). I tend to make peculiar keyword comments that I can punch into the search bar without having to do make a custom filter. For example...

I've been using the bpm tapper that Jeese linked above for years. I just saved the page to my hard drive and load it up whenever I need it. So the raw, single-measurement readings are only +- 8 bpm accurate at these speeds. In order to get a higher precision, multiple taps need to be combined. The m...

Unless you're looking for a gaming rig on the side, most laptops these days are rather comparable. A netbook is an affordable entry and has more than enough power for dj'ing purposes. With the holidays coming, you can probably find them for close to $200. An external sound card is a good investment ...
