Laptop mixing
So whats the best program to use for mixing with ur laptop....i mean of cours eim sure some people will say ableton live...is that a duel purpose program...used for making music and or mixing??? just wanted to hear from people who actually use or have used it/experience with it....ill be getting a djm-800 within the week, i dont want to completely just stop using my turntables if i hook my laptop up...so can u just incoporate everything together, or do you think me using a mixing program as such, can easly pul me away from manual turntables, and into the laptop mixing world?
there are 2 programs that come to mind
serato scratch or traktor scratch
http://www.serato.com/
http://www.native-instruments.com/i...=traktorscratch
If you just want to have a quick go at things and test it out for free, check out Beatport Synch. It's basically Traktor DJ studio slimmed down, but with a Beatport skin.
I really like Tracktor Dj Studio, i just got Abelton but i havn't figured it out yet :P

EDIT.
You can buy the X-Session Pro for 99 cad at MOOG Audio on Queen.
Then you can download a free copy of Torq for MAC here http://www.m-audio.com/?do=products...orqLEmac&form=1
Just to be clear, I believe he needs them for a Mac 
I'm sure most of the programs have dual support (Mac/Windows) like Ableton Live and stuff.
Ableton Live does have a sequencing component to it...great program when used properly.
not only that but in version 7 they added a bunch of new features that are great for doing peformances.

traktor 3 for me
On a side note does anyone know how and what equipment you need to hook up Tracktor or any of these Dj progs to a real mixer so i don't have to use a mouse but yet will have both channels come out of the laptop i'm thinking a dual soundcard ??

if your soundcard supports DSP you can get custom audio drivers like kX to customize the signal flow through your card andinto your cards outs... but its abit of a pain.
