You will need an external sound card with dual stereo outputs to pre-listen.

thanks for the reply...

Can someone with experience in these programs care to explain the differences between DJing with Ableton and Traktor Pro?

Thank-You

There's different names, interfaces, programming structure, abilities, price, companies, colors, communities, production, you might want to go and do some research.

I'm curious about the pro's and con's of each with regards to functionality.
For instance I heard that you need to do a lot of prep work on tracks on Ableton...

And for another instance, this is a thread on the akai apc 40.

GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND

There are tons of posts and comparisons out there. Come on man. Do a LITTLE legwork yourself, please?

Turk, there is enough reference on the forum, and more than enough reference on http://www.ableton.com and http://www.nativeinstruments.com

Please visit these.

Chilly, come on... kiss and make out... eh... up!

This thing is going to be hundred bucks cheaper than the VCI-100... :|

I just bought Traktor Pro... can't wait to hear people on this one with Traktor!
