Topic: Sound Card for Virtual DJ

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hello.
I'm new to this Virtual DJ World so please do not make me feel stupid :-)

My simple question is, What kind of soundcard i should get ? I heard many people complain about their Maya 44 USB Soundcard.

I am looking for a USB soundcard for my T60 Lenovo IBM Laptop with at least 4 ins & 4 outs because I want to have 2 channels working in my pioneer mixer.

I am running Windows XP (SP3), 1.84ghz Dual Core (T2400) & 2GB of RAM (667MHZ)

I Appriciate your help,
Danny.

Just using a mixer perhaps a DJ.io

If you want timecodes how about a VV box aslo includes the pro software.
 
That's what I use... Mixer and DJiO
 
Do you use a controller or your mouse? new controllers have soundcards already installed so you would not need to invest in a soundcard. run the out of the controller into the pioneer and then use the crossfader on the controller to mix.Just one of many options. I use a dac controller with a giga port soundcard going into my mackie mixer. Going to purchase a controller soon that does it all.
 
Im in the same boat as him somewhat. I plan on getting a Pioneer mixer but at the same time I would like a controller for VDJ. So really I can get by on a Hercules MK2? I wont need an additional soundcard?

The MKII has an integral soundcard and as such in theory can stand alone. There is, however, a great many users here who prefer using it with another mixer.
 
That was my plan, that along side a pioneer mixer with hopefully some CDJs.

I use dual numark I-cdx's. No sound card in them.
