software for a newbie

just got the urge to start mixing when i have some free time. since i've heard about mixing right on a laptop/desktop, i figured i'd use a program that makes this possible rather than buying turntables. any ideas/suggestions??

There are approximately 34,485 examples of this type of software within the first few pages of this forum.

But here are some search terms for you.

Traktor is a good beginner program. Ableton is a little out of most peoples budget if they are just starting.

Traktor is a nice prog, not to mention you can show off your gamer side by controlling the program with a pair of Wii-motes:

You should also consider PCDJ software. They also have relatively cheap hardware controllers if you want to get a little closer to having a full setup.

+1 on Tracktor but im sure there are copys / demos of it on the internet you could play around with

Def Suggest Traktor. As a beginner Ableton is way to hard to figure out. I know from experience from using my friends. Traktor works decent with any one of the many cheap controllers (hercules, dm2). Good Luck
