Question.
Is there any advice I should take in regarding sharing a U-Mix controller between 2 laptops? Obviously in the near future my DJ partner and I will eaach have out own. However, we have been spinning at the same events and sometimes back to back. I would like to know if there is anythign I should be warned about when moving the U-Mix Control Pro from one laptop to another during a live set. As long as we both have our Cross DJ software open - is there any issue with Cross DJ recognizing the controller while it is allready open? Or do I need to always attach the controller via usb and then open Cross DJ? I ask because re-starting the Cross DJ software, music file recognition, and mapping the controller can result in a delay that mkases me a bit nervous.

If anyone has a suggestion or tip it would be much appreciated - as I would rather not share a laptop.

The software support hot plug & play. Some soundcard only need to be manually re-selected into the preferences/audio tab.

Sorry. My mistake. I am using a U-Mix Control Pro. Are you saying there are different sound cards in different U-Mix Control Pro controllers. Some which will allow hot plug and play and some that don't?

It does support hot plug & play for any devices be it soundcard or MIDI controller.
I only said that for some soundcards you'll need to select them into the preferences section because even if they're available they won't be necessary selected.
