first off i want to thank you and congratulate you for buying the CDs instead of just downloading mp3s free. i'm not sure what's out there for what you're talking about, but i'd think you can just bring a laptop and hook it into the mixer to play mp3s off that when you need to. of course, if you don't have some internal mixing software, this creates the problem of having to always follow an mp3 with vinyl or CD. there are loads of programs that allow you to just have multiple tracks and pull in wav files, but those aren't very DJ-friendly. i'd think there must be something out there by now that addresses this issue, like creating a virtual DJ mixer that can pull in mp3s and preview them to a separate headphone output, with faders that you move with a mouse or can be controlled with a small outboard digital mixer for a more intuitive feel. anyone know if anything like this exists? d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
