Help With Computer Aided Dj Equipment

[johnnydoe]

To Whom it May Concern:

First of all let me tell you that your site is incredible. I plan on using the information provided for a long time.

I am an amatuer at best. I will be hosting a party this weekend and looking to use my PC as a jukebox for the music. I have mixmeister 3.0 which I am using to play songs beat to beat without pauses between songs. My question to you is how can I optomize what I am doing. Here is the equipment I am using or able to use...

2 - Mackie Active PA monitors
2 - Off brand (older) speakers
1 - Crown Macro Tech 600 Amplifier
1- Optimus- (Radio Shack) 3 Channel Mixer
Gateway Pentium III 933 MHz Computer
I believe it is a Soundblaster Live soundcard??????

I also have two single deck CD players.

How do I set the system up?... Do I have the correct soundcard?
Do I need more?

hey man, i do a lot of live pa gigging, i use a boss dr770, dr202 and sp-303 (drum machines and sampler) a yamaha DJX keyboard and a yamaha su700 sampler. I also occasionally use an alesis QS6 and a numark turntable for scratching. My point is that i also have a studio set up, that all this gear is connected through via my soundblaster live platnium soundcard. I would reccomend buying at least the live card, preferably with the live drive, that would give you the output capability you need to run directly from your PC to your amp. you have the gear, but you may need an adapter to use the sound card you have right now. Sweetwater should have it..hehe. good luck man.
