If you just want to have a quick go at things and test it out for free, check out Beatport Synch. It's basically Traktor DJ studio slimmed down, but with a Beatport skin.

EDIT.

You can buy the X-Session Pro for 99 cad at MOOG Audio on Queen.

Then you can download a free copy of Torq for MAC here http://www.m-audio.com/?do=products...orqLEmac&form=1

Just to be clear, I believe he needs them for a Mac :D

I'm sure most of the programs have dual support (Mac/Windows) like Ableton Live and stuff.

Ableton Live does have a sequencing component to it...great program when used properly.

not only that but in version 7 they added a bunch of new features that are great for doing peformances.

I don't perform so I couldn't speak to that...it's a good tool in the lab, though.

On a side note does anyone know how and what equipment you need to hook up Tracktor or any of these Dj progs to a real mixer so i don't have to use a mouse but yet will have both channels come out of the laptop i'm thinking a dual soundcard ??
