Hello everyone out there

Quick intro.

-Background in computers/electronics
-Currently do home automation/security/cctv and anything low voltage for a small company near Toronto, Ontario
-Always been into audio, from car and home audio, and now into pro audio
-Wanted to do something different so I built all my speakers from plans, bought amps, processors etc, than I got the itch to start mixing some music, and here I am

It started as a hobby to throw parties in our basement with lights and music, and then I got the itch to start doing it for bigger events etc. I have a wedding and a couple of small events for friends under my belt, but still growing.

I think I am finally at home with CrossDJ. I have tried Torq (came with my Xponent). I could never get the hang of it no matter how much I tried, also didn't feel right to me. I played around with VirtualDJ a bunch and liked it, but found it way overpriced for what you got.

Spent the last month looking at a bunch of different software and by luck happened on CrossDJ the other night. After watching a few videos and looking at screenshots it looked temping. The price was killer so how could I go wrong.

Played around a bit last night and its living up to my expectations so far. Looking forward to spending more time on this forum, it seems like a bunch of great individuals on here.

Cheers.

Welcome!

I was a moderator at the Torq forums (just a user here though!!!) and used it pretty extensively for more than 6 years... The real challenge with Torq is the sheer volume of what it's capable of doing - and most people never get to most of it. ;)

I think you'll like Cross DJ... it seems to be really strong at what it does and with the new video plugin I'm liking it a lot.

As I work out the bugs with the Xponent mapping I'll let you know and hopefully we'll have some more former Torq users here before too much longer. :D

Welcome to the forum loudsubz - and welcome to Mixvibes! :D

You've made a great choice - my path to Cross was similar to yours - tried most of the programs out there and Cross DJ/Cross was by far the best.

See you around ;)
