I Personally like "Traktor Studio 3", but a popular one is "PC DJ, Red, Blue, and White" and there's many more out there, you can also buy some Consoles that plug in via USB, Hercules make a range, so does Belkin, and there's various others too, these come with software, and support the MIDI protocol, so even if a program doesnt officially support the console(s) as long as it supports MIDI, you will be fine ;)

Traktors beat match is tricky at first. You need to set a beat marker at the first clear kick drum. This put's the beat grid over the track, and then you have to tweak the bpm until the grid lays perfectly on the kicks throughout the track.

Only when you have both tracks with both beat grids spot on, can you then auto sync the tracks to mix together.

Has anyone used Ableton Live?

 

I've been wanting to mess around with some music packages for a while now, & Traktor & Ableton were the 2 recommended to me.

 

Does anyone who knows either package have any links to any decent (legit free) sample sets or learning sites?

I have never had a problem with traktors beat match, But I like doing it manually any way ;) - I feel that beat matching things like that are a cheat..

 

but usually, I set a track, set the cue at the start, hit "Master" hit play, set the next track, set the cue at the start, click Sync, hit play, and theyer matched... thats all I do usually..
