Nope It depends on which software you're using... Traktor accepts live input, as does Virtual DJ; apparently Mixxx doesn't YET and I'm not sure about Deckadance. |

Only things which will unavailable are transport functions like cuepoints, loops and beatjumping. A nice benefit is that you get FULL access to things like crossfader curve adjustment and cue/mix, which a cheaper hardware mixer might not have. |

My first ever pair of decks were XL-500IIs as well; cost |

Or - you could do what you SHOULD do, and just MIX!
