If you're not going to record anything from sources outside your computer, you can't go wrong with Traktor Audio 2.

My Focusrite Pro 24 works well, got a decent deal on it. Didn't bother with the DSP version.

except for the endless list of users that experience dropouts and latency. Of all the interfaces you pick one that has a specific purpose for which he is not using and is just a shitty interface overall.

ace advice.

to the OP, PC laptops can be a nightmare. You need to cross reference your chipset with the interface in question and see who has the same thing running an interface that is stable. Don't go firewire or what ever it is they call it on a pc.

vv Traktor Audio works for me, and they threw in a free copy of their DJ software, at €79 that's basically a free sound card.

Saffire 6 is pretty rock solid and cheap. You'll find loads of them on Ebay.

Those Rokit 8s are rubbish btw. Fine for DJ'ing, but poor for producing.

I'll look into it cheers. Yea heard they weren't great but it's all I have at the minute. What moniters would you recommend at a decent price mate? Next on the lists I think.

Well it all depends on budget, but the Equator D5s have a fantastic rep right now, as do the JBL LSR2326P's.

They're both smaller 5" cones so you might miss a little bit of bass in there. Too much is arguably worse than not enough though, so 8" cones are probably not a great idea unless you have a good treated room.

I recently bought a pair of Tannoy 601A's for very little money and they're a good compromise between size/price and performance.

If you have more money then the Focal CMS65s are outstanding.
