Tracktor and DSS Dj are good.

Type download virtual decks in google and there will be some free or trail versions to download.

Who is DJ Doboy anyway? There's hardly any info on him on his site. It's like if he came out of nowhere to DI with some fresh DJ sets and became instantly famous.

I enjoy his sets tho... Does he play live anywhere? He should come to Miami

since you bring it up...

i've been wondering, how easy/accurate is ACID for mixing?

i remember one time i mixed a set with Sound Forge. but that was hell. i had to first load up all the tracks, then i'd cut the sections i wanted, then, selected 4 beats in the waveform, jotted down the time, used timestrech with percentages on the other tracks to get them timed correctly, do a fade in/out effect on a phrase or two, and then used mix pasting.

the set actually was actually coming out spot on, tempo-wise, but it was a bitch to fix when i had done something wrong, or wanted to do something differently, and and one point, it just didnt sound natural. so i gave up 4 tracks into it. did learn a lot in the process though...

i havent used it in a year or so, but as i remember it was pretty easy, it sorted out all the timestretching and beat aligning for you (with a bit of help) i should crank it up and have a play again
