I just Dl Mixmeister.... WHAT! Very complicated, I currently use AtomixMP3 (Virtual DJ), simple to use & easy 2 pick up, im lookin at mixing live really, so is it worth my time learning to use mixmeister or shud i stick with the limited atomix?

If you're going to mix live your looking at the wrong programs.

Traktor seems to do the trick although i heard people mention Virtual Turntables (or VTT - i think.)

Noone for me...

Best programs are:
Traktor: easy to mix...the program bpm match both tracks...
PCdjRed: the best, most professional, not so easy at all...well..i said "professional" hehe...

Mixmeister isn't meant for live mixing at all, but the later versions of it are quite good for "studio mixing". It won't simulate turntables by any means but it is simple to use and fairly powerful when it comes to creating seamless mixes.

Ok. Atomixmp3 is for the "new-born deejays" and basically amature deejaying. It has this function that auto-beat match. In turntable-mixing, Theres no such thing and never will, you must set the BPM equally to beatmatch.

well, you can never really get that live dj mixing atmosphere unless you have 2 soundcards. That way, you can have one channel going to the headphones, one to your speakers. I would have to say that the best programs are Virtual Turntables and MixVibes. Others usually have bpm counters or something similar. ALways try to stick with the standard or semi-pro versions of software because the more "professional" you get, the easier it is to mix because of the arrival of bpm counters. I've been using mix vibes standard ever since i ungraded to XP due compatability issues with VTT and it works great. AtomixMP3 is amateur, anyone can do it.

atomxis pure dogshit mate, it speeds up tracks by cutting bits out of it, and it doesnt even match the beats properly and generally sounds shit. but at least you can learn how mixing works that way.
