Audio Mixing Application

[Kezzie]

I have approximately 50GB of Dancehall (Reggae) Songs ordered by Riddims, if you are familiar with Dancehall music then you would understand what I am refereeing to.

Now I need a professional Mixing Application where I can play two songs Simultaneously and switch from one to the other.

I am currently using Atomix Virtual DJ Pro v5.0 R7, This is a great application, however I have one problem, I am not sure how to get it work with two separate outputs, One through the speakers and the other through the headphones,

Would I need specialize software or hardware, I currently use a HDA X-Plosion sound card.

Have you got any application suggestion regardless of cost or could you tell how to configure Atomix Virtual DJ Pro output through two different channels.

Thanks

I'm guessing you'll require a card which appears to windows as two cards (or two seperate cards)

This usually being the case for none-asio systems - get a cheap soundcard to run for your headphones with your good card being main output.

Other software could be

Ableton Live
OtsDJ
BPM Studio

You dont need any specialist hardware or software; Virtual DJ can do this with your current set up. Just make sure your sound card driver is set to at least a 4.1 output then go into the Virtual DJ sound config and enable your sound card (instead of primary driver or any onboard sound) and select headphone and speaker output with a 4.1 sound card. Wack in your headphones to your rear output and away you go.

Dave you mentioned 3 Application do you suggest that I try all 3 or is there a specific one you recommend.

Or should I simply stick with Virtual DJ it seems to be a popular option.

It entirely depends on what you're going for, if it's 'proper' DJ stuff then Ableton Live is probably better, for your average CD-DJ (think weddings etc) then OtsDJ is really rather good, other than that i don't know.

There should be a demo available of each of them, so see if you can get one and have a play to see what you think.

if your driver is not asio or you have trouble with multiple outs, i suggest downloading asio4all and it will do the work for you (outputs , not mixing)
