Hi i have had a search around but am still not sure what will be best for my needs.
So im starting a Mobile Disco, for functions weddings etc and will be playing a cross section of genres from rock indy to dance and pop. i do not plan on mixing anymore than fading in and out so the songs overlap briefly and am not bothered about beat matching etc, so i will be using my laptop for this along with VDJ, i have a 4 chanel mixer and pa eqquipment and all lights but i need a sound card, or all in one device as i want to be able to check songs on headphones etc and my laptop only has stero out.
so my question is do i get a 2 stereo channel sound card looking at possibly - Numark DJ IO / - Native Audio 2DJ /- ESI Maya 44 USB or do i get one of the all in one things as i dont plan on mixing and there not much moe expensive, Berhinger BCD 2000/3000, Hercules DJ Control Mp3 / DJ Console Mk2
so what would people advise? thanks in advance, SpZero

thanks for looking people, ive managed to get a good deal on an all in one i hope i made the right decision, ive ordered the Behringer BCD2000, should i sell my current mixer? its an Citronic Pro 8 or should i just keep it as back up? for future or adding more channels? (not that i can see a need for this)
thanks SpZero
thanks SpZero

if your planning a business why not get a pro controller. A BCD 2000 is a cheap setup. Spend the extra because its an investment.

Well if your using VDJ now, and you have not purchased it, How do you have the software?!?
You stated...
"i do not plan on mixing anymore than fading in and out so the songs overlap briefly and am not bothered about beat matching etc"
It's not really trying to get gigs if you are not bothered with beatmatching at all. For all that, get two ipods and a ipod mixer and call it a day.
Good luck to ya

its the trial version im currently using, and I have already got a gig and a regular one (every 6months) that pays well, im doing this more to help out the person who organizes the bi-annual do and any extra work is fine, tho im not looking for it, im already self employed and make a good living so this is just a minor side line, as for i-pods i dispise them, and would rather just use a PC, but if im gunna do something its worth spending a bit of money and time investigating my options thanks for your help and advice, im more than happy with my bcd2000, after i changed the included usb cable that is crap and makes it crash, its now working fine with no problems under vista!
