As a budding dj, I'm considering the purchase of M-Audio Quad in my set-up as an alternative to a dj controller to preview songs - will this work?

No, well maybe. I'm not exactly sure what you're saying. It's an audio/midi interface and can only be used as an external sound card of sorts. It allows you to pass/tweek various types of signals through it to your computer and from your computer into monitors(speakers). So if you're using "tractor" on a computer you may need this to run the sound from your computer into external speakers depending on how your speakers connect. If you wanted to use an external keyboard or dj controller you may need this as well if your controller doesn't have interface functions. If you plan on doing any live recording vocals/guitar/drums/etc. than this is a must have. If you need further clarification just ask. No, well maybe. I'm not exactly sure what you're saying.

I use it for production in video and multi-track recording. It's a pretty hefty audio device and it will handle anything you throw at it. It will diminish your latency to basically zero, so you should be happy with it.

Highly recommend you get a MIDI interface. M-Audio makes a good one, the 2 X 2. I've had it for years and I've always been very happy with it.

I am a happy owner of a Hercules DJ RMX but I recommend you search for newer devices wich have RGB LEDs for feedback, more buttons, etc. Look for something that have native integration with TRAKTOR, instead of Virtual DJ. Althout it can be used with both VDJ & Traktor, it is more focused on VDJ.

I personally do not use any computers or software with my Quad. I think it is compatible with Virtual dj. To b sure, go to youtube and watch the review videos. They tell u all the limitations and benefits to the Quad. Good luck.

To start, try a free software like Virtual Dj to know if you like to djing.After you should buy an Hercules Instinct to start because It's user-friendly and easy to use.After understanding and used a lot your Hercule Instinct, I suggest you to buy another controller like Hercules RMX 2, Pioneer is like Apple, you pay a lot for what you get. Hope It's will be useful! ;)

Virtual DJ should do the trick! You may want to test it out just incase. I tried out both DJay2 and Virtual DJ and they seemed to work fine.

I use Innovate Systems Blue Lite X1, has way more control for DJ uses than say the ADJ one or the Chevaut one. both of which i have used also

Works perfect as long as you have the dj2 app, but i works better using pc or mac with vitual dj app

I don't own a Mac, so I don't know. However, I don't recommend this controller. U would be better off with the mixtrack or another one for the same price. The controls aren't easy to get used to at all.

It probably will work pretty good, although one issue that I had with Traktor and Windows 7 (regardless the computer) is the audio dropouts (you might want take a look of it), tried to figured out and then switched to Traktor + OSX. No complaints since then.

MacBook yes, traktor is available for it. I don't think it'll work on an iPad though - need a USB port to plug the controller in
636685
Yes. Traktor Pro 2 is ideal for this controller and is compatible. I'm running OS 10.6.8. You should have at least that. I know Ipad can run Traktor as well. Not sure how it fits with this controller though.

Unfortunately not. The controler is powered by USB which also servers to control Serato DJ Intro which is not available for IPad. If you're look for an iPad mixer I'd recommend the DDJ-WeGo2 which is an awesome portable mixer.

Hi, it works on Traktor for both Mac and Windows by simply downloading the .tsi file in pioneerdj.com/support. It as well works with any DJ software app for an iPad by buying the WeCai cable to connect it.

Virtual DJ and Trakkor are more or less "plug-and-play". I would imagine its not to difficult to map other software to it http://www.adjaudio.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ItemNumber=1460&Category;=23

no you cant it's a great controller for any computer DJ program. I will actually replace your turntables.

No it will not. However, if you choose to do so and I recommend, you can use the new Serato DJ software!
