The Mixer has a Phono In and a Line in so i'm not sure what i should do. TL;DR I Want to know if i really need Virtual Vinyl to Mix/Scratch Mp3's,
Ah yes, I can help with this. What you're wanting to do is to control mp3s using vinyl. Serato ScratchLive is perfect for that. [url]http://www.serato.com/[/url] While they have more than just ScratchLive, SSL is what you're looking for. [url]http://www.scratchlive.net/scratchlive[/url] As for turntables and mixers, Pioneer is generally the club-accepted standard, though Numark works just as well for beginners. Behringer Mixers are usually pretty solid machines. If you're looking to get into the music itself, I suggest using Beatport.

The instructor in this video can be slightly annoying at times, but it is a useful video. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dMQXrrSwDk[/media] Hope that helps.
Thanks, it helps but, what i really want to know is, do i need to purchase one of the boxes or can i just use the sound card in the mixer?
