What type or brand of DJ/Production softare do you use? I'd like to start playing around making some mixes and not sure if I should go with a package like Virtual DJ or just stick with MixMeister Express, which i have now.

Any Suggestions?

Edit** i know there is another forum, but we have a lot of local talent on this board, so I thought i'd get some local opinions.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Has anyone used any software that they don't like?

I'm thinking of getting one of the Pro editions of virtual DJ, Mix Meister, or perhaps SoundForge, and using one of the mixers to mess around with. Any advice on what to useor more importantly, what not to use?

Well the most important deciding factor is: what exactly do you want to get out of it? What do you plan on using it for?

Currently,I am using mix meister express to make basic mixes to burn to CD's or mp3's, But i want to expand that into better quality mixes and remixing some tracks. I'd also like to mess around w/ DJ'ing, but i think the primary focus is better qaulity mixes and remixing songs.

This software is incredible. Get a midi controller and go to town.

In the beginning there was Jack. And Jack had a groove. And from this groove came the groove of all grooves. And while one day viciously throwing down on his box Jack boldly declared "Let there be house!" And house music was born. I am the creator and this is my house and in my house there is only house music. But I am not so selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes our house and our house music and you see no one man owns house because house music is a universal language spoke and understood by all. You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless you're deep into the vibe of house. House is an uncontrollable desire to jack your body and as I told you before this is our house and our house music. In every house you understand, there is a keeper and in this house the keeper is Jack.

as every1 above said..ableton is perfect for what you want to do. but if you want to seriosly make tracks, i'd suggest getting a mac pro and get logic pro and maybe slave it to ableton if you so desire too. im currently saving up for that now as ableton is good and all i just think it lacks certain things that a software platform like logic has, also my pc is getting quite out of date and lagging way too much. need to upgrade
