The Echo Indigo DJ sound card is fantastic.
For mobile laptop DJing there is nothing close to it, in regard to its Cost, Size, Ease of use and high quality output.
If you can afford it, get one.

Make sure there is no songs lined up in the play list that is currently playing, and then manually switch between the ...

It looks like a good interduction to some of those artists on it.

I've talked about getting rid of Ground loops before. This is a nice little cheap unit. As well as removing the ground loop it converts the signal from unbalanced to balanced. Some people may find it very handy between a cheap mixer and your amp. link . http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop_image/produ...

I’m interested in what some of you other experienced DJ’s think of this subject. I know some of you are lucky enough to play at specialized venues ie Groove or Classic swing, and thus it’s not as much a problem. But you don’t spin at those venues that whole time.
