| I am looking for the cheapest and most efficient way to use my computer as my music library so I can play off my setup. I have two pioneer CDJ-800 MK2's and a Behringer DJX 700 Mixer. My laptop does not have a soundcard. Any tips appreciated! |

| Is this the industry standard? I am looking for the most tested and proven program for such applications. Any other responses? |

| no that would be serato scratch or traktor scratch or ableton (all apps) and a good soundcard. traktor and serato can both be bought with suited soundcards. i have not tested any of them, i use ableton a little. |

| What he said. The cheapest would be Traktor Skratch Dual. |

Make up your mind you pecker. You'll rarely, if ever, get an industry standard which is also the cheapest option. |

| I guess your right! Well I am just hoping that there is something I can connect without a soundcard. If not I guess I am going to have to just stick with CD's until I can buy a laptop with a card and some software. Also, what is a suited soundcard? |

There are cheaper solutions similar to serato or traktor.
I use mixvibes. Was about 250 euro. No idea what the current price is.
There is also m-audio torq. Not sure about the price for this either.
They're no industry standard, but they do an equally good job and are much cheaper then traktor or serato. |

| Virtual DJ was ok but I sold it. If you are serious about djing then go for the expensive stuff. |
