    Sorry if this has been asked before but what is the best computer program for DJing of a laptop? I've looked at Ableton and Traktor but I don't know what to go for :confused:

    I will only be using it for my own fun and the odd party with mates and I will not need it for creating music. Basically all I want is something that allows me to play about with track selection, effects, loops etc... I don't want to get lost within a very complex program.

    How much does this kind of software cost or is there cracked copies about?

    Any help or pointers!?! :D

    Download Virtual DJ 5 its the best one for starting off on. Give Tracktor 3 or Traktor Pro a go too, see whichever you prefer

    Hey.. I have the Traktor s/w... its absolutely brill... the fx are pretty good and the track manipulation is excellent.. beat jumping etc..

    you can broadcast live on the net with the s/w also which is pretty cool if thats what your into...

    im using it with the Vestax VCI 100 midi controller... so handy for partys / bars with small areas...

    id defo recommend this one...

    even grandmaster flash is using this now!!
