I have already tested the controller to multiple systems. My ancient notebook had too little Arbeistspeicher and low CPU usage. The manufacturer's instructions for this purpose are:
1GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM and an additional sound card.
The mitglelieferte program is to get you started right. One should here in the options, however, immediately improve the quality of the output, otherwise you scratching noises at the "thread" is listening.
The device I tested additionally with the programs Virtual DJ Pro and Traktor Scratch Pro DJ. The controller is well suited for both and you can find a "mapping" (key bindings for commands in the DJ-program) on the Internet. My personal favorite is Traktor DJ Scratch Pro with it with a little skill is even possible to connect two such controllers to a PC and hang in twos or alone to use a 4-deck controller.
Depending on the sound card and CPU performance can be used to achieve very short delays between the individual editions (headphone output for previewing and for the audience). It is recommended to buy an extremely cheap card under any circumstances. The manufacturer indicates that it should be a 5.1 card. In my experience, a computer audio interface Numark DJ IO is very well suited. Of course, cheaper cards can be used for the launch. ! Please note there is an additional sound card is required for preview!
Conclusion: Super device with you even after many hours, parties and nights still have a lot of fun. Can be used very well with other programs and hardware. Absolute buy recommendation.
