Hello all, I have a problem. I comnected my mixer (Behringer dx626), to the pc but i only get sound on one channel. Do I need this device ( https://static.kupindoslike.com/EasyCap-USB-2-0-Video-Audio-Capture_slika_O_48103513.jpg ) to use crossfade and change songs from one channel to another ?
Thanks in advance

That looks like a regular anlog mixer to me - as in: one that's not USB connected to your laptop
If that is the case you need to setup a way to have your laptop be able to output 2 outputs at once that you can then mix between on your mixer
You can use a splitter caple for that - but will only get 2xmono outputs
A more commen way is to use a multi output soundcard
But all this is in itself not the most comon way to go when starting out using dj software
The most comon way to go is to get a controller for VDJ, and let the software do the mixing internally, controlled by the controller
- so that you get an already mixed output from the controller, and don't need the analog mixer

Thank You for fast respond.
Well, I know it is better to work with controller, but until I get it, i would like to practice on this analog mixer. So, if I connect one channel via 2xRca/3.5mm cable with pc, and another channel via 2xRca/2xRca cable with splitter cable, in theory, I'll be able to "mix" it ?

Then I would probably just test it with a splitter cable and get both channels from your regular PC output
It has to be a splitter cable that's meant for it, so that it put's one channel out as mono out to either output connector, and make it so that if you attach a stereo cable to those, you get sound in both left and right channel
Like this one:

And then setup VDJ like this:
Remember that you still need a VDJ license to run like this for longer periods of time
