I just discovered the Cortex DMIX-300 digital music controller. I'm thinking about getting one. I am new to DJing and mostly just want to become proficient at the basics (beat matching, cross-fading, seamless transitions, etc). would this piece of equipment be suitable for my desire to learn the basics??

I am brand new to DJing and would like to learn. I like the idea of mixing house beats or mixing the generic pop/Rap that seems oh so popular to dance to today. But I don't wanna spend ridiculous amounts of moneys on equipment. I just want to learn and become proficient at the basics (beat matching, seamless transitions between songs,etc) but nothing really special. I discovered Numark's iDJ and read some reviews and stuff and found out it sucks. But then i found the iDJ2, the new version. I have read reviews and stuff and it seems pretty good to me, but I am by no means educated on the matter. Does anybody know anything about the iDJ2 and whether or not it would be a decent purchase for what i want to do??
Native Instruments AUDIO 2 DJ Interface (Soundcard)

This is an awesome dual stereo output soundcard. The only very tiny issue I have it requires 1/4 inch plugs and not the usual 1/8 inch plugs--so I had to swap different cables I am used carrying (it does come with common audio cables--except mine are made by me by using professional grade cables and connectors), but not a problem. But other than that, it is awesome.
The sound is incredibly great. Louder output than a CD player. You can directly connect a pair of Headphones to it, and since it has two independent volume wheels, you can tweak it to your preferred loudness--I'll still be connecting to the main mixer, since I prefer the headphones to monitor more than one device. The Sound has a very rich and crip sound. Your sound will definitely improve with it. I highly recommend for you to upgrade. You will only need this soundcard for both your mains and headphones outputs.
I was extremely happy to learn that it will support DirectSound from MixMeister Pro 5--since that is my preferred "reliable" audio mode. It does also support ASIO--for those that prefer that setting.
The AUDIO 2 DJ fills the need for a high quality, ultra-mobile audio interface for digital DJs using TRAKTOR or other DJing and performance software. Even though it's the smallest DJ USB soundcard in the world, it still has enough punch to rock the world's biggest clubs!
The AUDIO 2 DJ is Native Instruments' entry level solution for DJs who want ultimate portability with no compromise on audio quality. If you're a digital DJ who doesn't require audio recording or timecode control, the AUDIO 2 DJ is made for you.
The AUDIO 2 DJ connects to your computer via the USB 2.0 cable. The two 1/4 inch output channels can either be used to route stereo signals to an external mixer, or as a master out and headphone monitor for using the internal mixer of your DJ or performance software. The included cables make hooking up to any system a breeze- all you need is your AUDIO 2 DJ and laptop.
Amazing sound quality is guaranteed with super high-end Cirrus Logic® AD/DA converters. Ultra low-latency drivers, hi-gain output levels (providing up to 9.7 dBu on both channels), and the ultra-wide frequency response affirm the AUDIO 2 DJ’s professional credentials. The uncompromising sound quality and clarity will reveal every detail of your music.

If you're working with a laptop only, then Output A could be used to route the master signal to the PA, whilst Output B allows you to monitor the next track you're cueing up in your headphones. This is a typical setup for digital-only DJs who use a MIDI controller with TRAKTOR.
Setup Example 2 - DJing with an external mixer: [image]
When using AUDIO 2 DJ with a mixer the stereo outputs are routed to separate channels on the external mixer using the included adapter cables. Output A connects to Channel 1, Output B to Channel 2. The mixer will now work in exactly the same way as if two turntables or CDJs were connected.

I am hoping someone can help me get started. I'd like a website. I'd like to use it as a avenue to announce my upcoming events. I tried using myspace, but I was not able to figure it out. And I got my site closed, because some wacko spammer took my profile and etc. I have also tried facebook, but don't like it that much. Hopefully you guys can point me to the right place.
I was gonna post this in this topic [viewtopic.php?t=275] --sorry I can't post links yet, but I didn't want it to seem I was hijacking the topic with my own set of questions. And I also read this topic: [viewtopic.php?t=78]
