I forgot to mention that the Indigo DJ is not very good for long DJ sets as it does and can overhead. The fact that a large portion of the card resides inside the laptop plus it rarely receives any fan or cool air makes for a meltdown situation. I've personally seen them get so hot that the jacks break, the tiny head case splits open or the audio just clips out (luckily there were CD decks on site )..

Thanks for all of the replies. I'll consider all of them before I buy one. Good thing my tax return hasn't shown up yet or I might have already caved in a bought one.

U46DJ for me - nice and cheap and does everything it needs to - 6in 4out, I use it with DJ Decks and Torq LE. Picked it up on Thomann for about £59, version 2 is out now. Drivers so-so, but never gave me any problems in XP.

Think about it ... you still need at least 4 outputs ... 2 for main out/2 for cue mix (the cue mix can be your laptops headphone out).Lagrange wrote:You could always try Traktor DJ studio. It separates the cue & output internally so no need for hardware.
.. My bad..
