From what im hearing it looks like to actually do anything like actual dj'ing youll need to spend a bunch of extra money for effects...audio plug in...etc. The hurcules console may be a bit pricier...well the mk2 version is...the normal one is about 80 on ebay..but the mk2 has a built in soundcard. Also with the hurcules dj controller you dont need anything else...you can hook up a mic...amp...pc...everything directly to it. Also the bundled software of virtual dj is by far the best ive ever used...and can be used for live events. So if your looking to go virtual...like myself...and dont want to pay for a full setup...get the hurcules mk2...and itll be all youll need. Hope that helps...

I have the griffin Imic USB and thought I might be able to use it to act as two soundcards so i can hear the cue. It only shows outputs 1 and 2 in the prefs menu. Anybody know how to help me so i can cue without the music playing through the master output?

I'm kind of a newbie at this.... So I can play an mp3 file through the included software and load another file to crossfade to later? All on one comp and with no additional hardware? If thats true than it's exactly what I need. If not could you possibly point me to something more like what I need? Thanks! Can you clear up a few things for me? I’m kind of a newbie at this….

So that could explain why you didn't find it. My understanding was that Mixlab distribution will be through consumer channels (think Best Buy) and Guitar Center would only carry X-Session Pro.

I bought the only XSP they had. I will stop by there tonight and see if they have it. If so, I wil just swap it out for the plain XSP. Well, my guitar center didnt have it.
