I believe Traktor is what you're looking for b1_

Here are some Dj softwares that are pretty ok :
Pioneer DJS
Ableton Live
Native Instruments Traktor Dj Studio
Virtual Dj
Mixmeister Fusion

They aren't like the real thing, but with some patience you can do some pretty good mixing with any of them

Thx. Traktor = training wheels. Gotta start somewhere.

I used both in the long long ago. I think Vitural DJ is Easier, but Traktor is better

i'd use traktor because the interface is pretty much set up exactly the same as how CDJs are (with the exception of rotary pitch knobs with traktor3) so the transition to hardware will be easier.

t 3.2 has pitch faders instead of knobs.

I used Traktor for my first mix. Unfortunately I'm still using on-board sound on my new computer so couldn't set it up with headphones and speakers so I had to use cue points and mix blindly so to speak. It turned out alright I guess, considering, but to tell you the truth the lack of headphones wasn't the problem, it was the clunkiness of using the mouse for transitions. Most of the time you could only do one thing at a time. Didn't like it, so now I want a mixer with knobs I can turn . Time to get some basic kit.
