For Laptop DJ-ing

Apart from a good reliable optimized laptop for DJ-ing, is to have a good quality pro  sound card  so if you haven’t done so then it is worth investigating in the top sound cards available.


You can start with pretty much right away with the right software and your laptop, but to benefit from hardware mixing (most DJ’s usually would prefer this), your laptop needs at least two separate stereo audio outputs.

With an internal mixer, or mixer inside the software, one stereo signal will be the cue and the other will be master out. With an external mixer, or hardware mixer at the club, there will be a separate stereo signal for both tracks. Some software packages allow more than two tracks to play at once.

As a few laptops come with a multi-channel soundcard, an external soundcard is essential. There are several USB soundcards for less than $200, such as the M-Audio Fast Track Pro and Numark DJ I/O.

FireWire soundcards can offer higher sound quality at a higher price; Presonus and Echo make excellent FireWire options, and if your laptop has a PC Card slot, the Echo Indigo DJ is another great option.

There are also controllers equipped with soundcards, such as the DJ Console Rmx, Omni Control, VCM-100 and M-Audio Xponent.

Echo AudioFire4  is a bit pricey but it really is one of the top best quality sounds around.
