You'll need a 4in 4out sound card, now this could be a mixer with a sound card built in or a controller......

Then you'll of course need timecodes and a copy of VDJ PRO FULL.

Research about these ones... some have built in Midi-Controls so you can DJ with just a straight 3pc set up (no box/soundcard and no modular controller required).

For low to mid Budget: Akai AMX, Behringer DDM4000, Native Instruments Z2, Denon DNX1600, Mixars Duo...

If budget is not a problem, Pioneer DJM-850, DJM-900NXS, DJM-S9, Rane 62, 64, 68.

Do you have a DJ equipment retailer near you, that you can pop into? If not, give one a call and tell them what you're looking for.

Sounds like something is wrong with your settings.

Can you post a screen shot of your sound settings??

Hmm from that picture everything looks ok.

Have you calibrated the timecodes? Go to the timecode settings tab and make sure your using the right timecodes?

Are there drivers for the Mac??

I don't have one of these mixers so I'm not really sure.

Maybe just a full on restart of the laptop?
