Back when it was hip to be a DJ I followed the flock and went out and bought some decks and a mixer and became another bedroom dj.

More because of the amount of space it took up than losing interest after a few months it all ended up getting packed away.

Anyway.... Was watching the gadget show last week (purely because of suzie perry of course ) and see they were looking at DJ mixing software for mp3s. Answer to all my problems! I can relive my bedroom DJ moments without having to shoehorn a set of decks and a mixer into my already cramped room!

I've looked at a few DJ software and found the easiest to get on with was virtual DJ. However it was a pain in the arse that you need the PRO version ($250) just to be able to get headphone monitor support which is essential really and makes the lower versions pretty useless!



Anyways, I also noticed that you can use one of these with virtual DJ...



I mean come on, I was instantly sold on how cool the dj looks with the girls and even more suprised that these only fetch about £80 on ebay

So has anyone looked into DJ mixing software? Anything better out there? What is the hercules like? Did you find girls appearing in your bedroom like on the box? (and I dont mean your mum telling you to turn it down!)

I appreicate there's nothing like real decks and vinyl but thats just not an option for me, Im just looking at it as a toy for a bit of fun. (and to get the girls of course! )
