Connecting mixer to laptop
Connecting mixer to laptop Posted on: 06.06.2012 by Elvie Zabkar Hey,so last evening I had a party (finished primary school) and ofc we had a DJ.At the end of the evening I asked my friends about his djing and they said that he was awsome but he used automix in virtual dj. Before that evening i wanted for my first controller to be Numark MIixtrack Pro.But in my city DJ is a guy wich has mixer or controller and plays music all evening (So if i bring my amp and just turn some knobs and press butons I would be a DJ bcs people dont know what am I doing) Now i want some mixer wich have effects and i looked in my local shop and i saw Behringer DJX900USB but my dillema is can i use it with just my laptop and softwear(Traktor or Virtual DJ doesnt matter).I looked at some videos on YT and for some mixer you will need sound card, but if I buy that mixer i wouldnt have money for sound card. | |

| DJ MENSAH 09.06.2012 | How about you scout the community

display.php?f=92 for someone to turn up with a cheap mixer. Also, people are mostly retarded here (on Balkan) and it's a good thing you noticed that early in the game. If your scene is that hardcore then maybe you should go for the CD players straight up, as no intermediate solution will make their elitist asses go soft-er on you. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 10.06.2012 | If you don't have 2 separate channels you won't be able to mix with the mixer :P |
| Erica Charvet 08.06.2012 | Well... you don't NEED a two channel sound card... You just would only be able to use a single channel on your mixer. |
| Bunny Sockel 08.06.2012 | Um if your budget is $320 a mixer to start out on would be the m audio x sessions pro it's a USB mixer so just plug and play but if you wanted to connect the mixer to speakers you would need a sound card. |
| Elvie Zabkar 06.06.2012 | Also my budget is about 320 $ or 250 euros and 1$ is about 1.56 KM(currencie) and 1 KM is 0.51 euros |
| Elvie Zabkar 06.06.2012 | Well i didnt even noticed that it has 2 band EQ. Also one huge problem is that in my country i have limited mixers controlers cdj-s pretty much everything. I prefer Traktor becouse i like using effects. This is site in my country wher you can buy Dj equpment controlers http://www.artist.ba/mex/kategorija_..._kat=24&kat=67 mixers http://www.artist.ba/mex/kategorija_..._kat=24&kat=64 other suff http://www.artist.ba/mex/kategorija_..._kat=24&kat=86 Can you answer me question about Behringer Djx750 and numark soundcard? |
| Yong Aptekar 06.06.2012 | Stay away from the 101. Its got a 2 band EQ, so bass and treble. No mids. Its pretty cheap. You will need a soundcard unless you buy a mixer with a soundcard in it (ex. Rane 68) that seems to be well above your budget though. What software do you prefer to use? Edit: I'm bored off my teeth right now and hanging around this wonderful place, so I can help you out. |
| Elvie Zabkar 06.06.2012 | Thanks for quick reply. 1st solution: If I am going to dj in traktor pro 2 (with Behringer DJX900USB) do i need to have NI Audio 2 or i can use Numark STEREO|iO(cheaper solution).Also do I need soundcard for Behringer DJX750 and can i use it with Numark soundcard(if needed)? 2nd solution: I have got one more question. I was also believeing about buying mixer (Numark M101) and buying NI X1. Do i need sound card for that or I can connect X1 to my mixer and my mixer to my laptop? |
| Yong Aptekar 06.06.2012 | And a fist full of monies. |
| Leeanna Ayla 06.06.2012 | You would need a sound card to use that mixer. |
