ok i have a question my friend is having a party NYE and wants me to put a set together but the problem is i can;t spin on tables because i'm a quadreplegic and cant use the mixer and tables so i figured i might be able to use a mixing program but im not sure what to use i have ableton live but i have no idea how to use it to mix if u even can any suggestions would be appreciated

First of all: use dots (.) and comma's (,), it increases our reading pleasure...

Second, there are tons of mixing programs out there, just do a search on Google. I'm sure you'll find something there.

Searching the forums might also find some good threads about mixing programs.

Traktor seems to be a good program to mix with.

the reason i dont use punctuation and capital letters is its hard for me to type sorry, ill look into traktor thanks for the suggestion

samiotis is quadraplegic, so I'll give him some slack for missing punctuation. I'm sure it's hard enough typing as it is.

In any case, I've only used Tracktor DJ. And I highly recommend it. Great DJ software but has a few bugs that used to drive me nuts until I found a few workarounds to them. I'm sure there's other DJ software out there that can do the job pretty good as well.

Is this going to be done live or are you going to do a pre-mixed set?

probably premixed because if i tried live ill probably mess something up by not being able to press something who knows haha

Virtual Dj is a really neat and easy to use live mixing program (although you state that you're prolly not gonna use it live...)
Check it out @ Virtual Dj

Good luck with mixing!

I'm sorry, I didn't really know what 'quadraplegic' meant. I just thought it had something to do with music, like not be able to hear the beats right or something.

Should have thought about that before I replied.

Anyway, Acid Pro is also nice if you want to do a premixed set.

Traktor DJ studio. Works really well until you can afford real stuff, if you use it right.
Hint: Use lots of hotkeys if you don't have a real MIDI controller.
