I'm wondering how I can connect an iPod to a DJ mixer. would I just use an 1/8 inch to RCA cord or is there some other way? I'm just looking to get the best quality

I see a lot of amatuer dj carry around loads of cds with them in order to dj. but i've also seen many using just a computer what i want to know is exactly what type equipment and software(s) is needed to do that.
how can you use a hardware dj mixer alongside getting music of your computer rather than carrying cds? how can i crossfade with a computer?

Can I make my computer into a DJ mixer as in sending one audio signal to some headphones and another one to the speakers, so that I can use with a virtual DJ software such as Traktor? If you know of a certain software or hardware other than a mixer (let's say a soundboard) that could help me feel free to post!

im looking for a dj mixer that can mix songs, remix and all those kind of stuff, is there a popular and good one that i can download for free?

thanks.

I'm trying to get my first dj mixer and this is both cheap and nice looking. it seems perfect too because I don't need to buy cd decks and all i need to know if it is compatible with the new ipods. also if you think i'm making a mistake by buying this mixer, please tell me!

I need to know what kind of DJ mixer i need to buy. I want to play music directly from my laptop, but i want to have that option to play CD's also.

I am going to be using Virtual DJ and/or Atomix MP3.

If you have suggestions on Laptop software let me know also. But i really need to know what kind of DJ Mixer i would need to buy.

I have a NUMARK DXM06 dj mixer and it has 2 1/4" jacks for master volume as well as regular RCA cables. Can i plug powered speakers straight into the 1/4" jacks on the mixer without needing an amp???

I recently bought an external soundcard (M-Audio Audiophile USB) to record live mixes from my DJ mixer.
The manual to this soundcard is terrible and doesn't explain how I can connect it to my DJ mixer (Pioneer DJM800)
I wanna know what cables go where.

Thanks for your help!

Me and a few of my friends are interested in DJing, but we need to know if it's more efficient to buy a DJ mixer or a DJ controller. But what's the difference between the two?

2 channel, 3 channel, 4 channel Dj mixer. whats the difference? What does the channels do? which one is better? I'm a beginner so i don't know. thanx
