    I have a record out and a 'booth' but I actually use that with a little surround sound speaker in mono for mixing out of the headphone's!!

    So if i take the record out (phono) how do i get it into the computer as there are no audio left and right ports on my laptop???

    Your mixer must have a pfl for mixing with the headphones??? As for using the record out, find out what inputs your sound card has, probably takes a 3.5mm jack lead, then buy a jack to phono lead, plug it in, use adobe audition to record and away you go!

    yeah can mix in the head phone's but not regarded the best practice as some clubs the main speakers are so close/loud its impossible to hear whats in your headphone's without them turned right up which makes the ears bleed!!

    I have an audio to jack lead, but only ever used my computer jack lead as an output??
    Will download *sorry buy* the adobe audition tonight and have a go!

    Vinyl is not superior in any way, hence no one really uses them anymore unless its scratch DJ's....

    I do like vinyl though and think it is easier to learn on them. We had a set of pioneer CD J's that were like an old club set up (CD decks separate to the controls) which just had pitch bend buttons and they are ok.... not very good though.

    CDJ 1000 MK3's though however are incredible... I dont use them in vinyl mode but it is so clever the way they work..

    But with vinyl you can 'read' the record and know where breaks, changes from bass driven to treble driven parts are and adjust your mix to suit - can you do that with CD's?

    Vinyl is regarded as the superior source when talking in terms of 'High Fidelity'

    pioneer mk3 have a graphic breakdown of the track, showing you where the beats come in, breaks in the track etc. not to mention memory cue's, seamless loops and stuff.

    Don't get me wrong I love vinyl but every club I go to now a days has some old 1210's under a cover that haven't been used in months (by the looks of them anyway) maybe DJ's have just got tight and don't want to pay the for vinyl lol

    Me and the girlfriend are about to get our own place so going to get the CDJ brackets on the walls and have some numark tt200 underneath mainly for me as girlfriend prefers CDs...

    buying my girlfriend some new gear for her birthday, need some advice from some guys in the know on here if poss...

    looking to buy her a

    1. New amp

    2. New speakers

    3. New speaker cables

    don't want to spend loads, the amp only has to drive the new speakers so was thinking about the 60 cambridge audio one from richer sounds...any good?

    oh and it is going to be in our second bedroom in our flat so speakers won't be able to be played that loud, but would like decent sound for DJ'ing obviously. there are these on ebay, what do you think??.....http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cerwin-Vega-V...ryZ69967QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem many thanks for any help
