| What is it that you're trying to do? If you wanna DJ with a computer, what software are you planning on using? Both Serato & Torq & Final Scratch come with their own proprietary audio interface and no sound card is needed. |

| you don't need a soundcard to dj, you need turntables/cdjs and a mixer |

Sorry. I just looked at the link you provided on the sound card you had questions about. Yes, that will do. I started on that with Traktor DJ I think if I can remember right. Now I have a M-Audio external soundcard that I am really happy with. I am using cd decks for mixing, but I use it for recording and I have been really happy with it. If you have the money to spend check out M-Audios stuff here >http://www.m-audio.com/
Rock On,

So can i just use my onboard sound card inputs and but that soundcard which i posted before? And does each sound card need a midi input or just one of them?
Thanks! |

You're better off buying a Soundcard that utilize two outputs. M Audio offers a good amount options for your needs.
Using the stock Soundcard is generally not a good idea unless quality isn't the factor.
I use two M - Audio 2496s for PCDJ (I only need PCDJ for Weddings & Corporate stuff) and it offers good quality.
Not to mention offering RCA outs which is all is needed when using a Mixer requiring RCA inputs is a plus IMHO. |
