what would be the best software for mixing tracks on ya PC/laptop

Live 7 is the biz.

chur chur mate

For proper deck-to-deck mixing I'd go with Serato or Traktor. If you want to take it further then Live 7.

naaaaa tis all about photoshop...................

i dont see the fun in mixing with a pc

if you are using traktor i don't see the difference from mixing with cd decks

i've never used it, i take it, its good then? I've had a quick go on ableton and couldn't get my head round it, too fiddly on a pc me

Ableton'sclip view is good because it is basically a mixer setup. If you delete all channels but two, click on A (down the bottom of the channel) on the first one, then B on the next one, then automate the crossfader (bottom right hand side) with a slider on your midi controller, you can mix like youre on decks - but with your own trax.

Drop a few fx in and automate them to your fav knobs/dials and youre all peaches!! Beat repeat on a kick channel is the shit! Muck around with Live, theres alot of good things on there..

Go here for a tutorial dvd which helped me heaps getting my head around it all....

depends totally on what you want from the software really ableton is a great bit of software, but if all you want to do is mix tracks like you would using cd's or vinyl then traktor all the way imo

if its live... dont know... abelton live
