Hey everybody.
I truly am an idiot regarding mixing. I have about 1,000 cds, and wanted to mix my own cds. I'm hoping I can figure out how to use the "discover DJ" to mix and record. So far it's difficult as the manual is very vague and refers me to this forum for help.

I'm tech on a car forum, and huge poster on a harley forum, but as my user names suggests, I'm a mixidiot. Can anyone have enough patience to explain to me extremely basic procedures to record and basic mix this thing. I'll catch on once I get goin', but really have know clue where to start since I loaded 2 tracks.

Thanks in advance for whoever is willing.

Dear new & confused:

I just got the DJ Discover System for Christmas and I was in the same boat as you, but once I figured out how to move the audio tracks to the DJ Discover system, (they have to be MP3 files, not Windows media) I was up and going.
My 13 year old son put the same song on both decks and experimented with scratching, reversing and lots of other special effects.
I used to DJ with two turntables and had pretty good results matching songs by their BPM (beats per minute). This system does all the work by displaying the BPM, which should be a good place to start with your mixing. :razz:
Hope this helps!
