Hi, does anyone know of software for the PC (specifically, Windows) which will allow you to mix (in a DJ fashion i.e crossfade) audio streams coming from either the line-in of two soundcards or a soundcard with two line-ins?
I've seen lots of PC-DJ mixing solutions, but they all involve mixing MP3s on your PC.
I'd like to practice with my CDJ800s - but as of yet I don't have a mixer.
Cheers
Eddie

Welllll...
What you can do is use a software mixer with external decks (I think...).
Check out Traktor DJ Studio.

Really? I know Traktor can use an external mixer (So you can use a hardware mixer to mix MP3s coming from your computer) but from what I can tell, it doesn't work the other way around.

Let me check...yeah you can.
It has input routing and output routing capabilities.
So you could have up to four decks plugged into a sound card that you could use Traktor's internal mixer with.
;)

Couldn't get it to go for the life of me.
I have two soundcards: An SB Live! running the kX drivers, and a NVIDIA onboard soundcard.
It seems that the SB Live! can only record from one source at a time, as can the NVIDIA Card.
Also, there does not seem to be a way to tell Traktor to use multiple soundcards - If anyone know of some wrapper-driver which will let you done this, let me know.
Otherwise I'll just have to keep waiting until I get a real mixer :(

^^Buy an external sound card with multiple inputs. :D
M-Audio has some really good ones for pretty cheap. (in the 150-200 US dollar range.)

Hmm, that key word, 'BUY' ;)
I'm going to buy a mixer sooner rather than later, I was just trying to come up with something that would hold me out for a little while.

Tricky one that, but basically you need something thats going to broadcast from your input coming from the other card. Mmmmmmmmm **Thinks**
PC DJ and VDJ only tend to read MP3's so thats out, NSVTools has the ability to broadcast "What you Hear" so it would stream the incoming sounds, but as to mix them, thats a toughy. External seems the only option in my eyes. Into external mixer, then into the PC and broadcast what you hear.

^^That souncard I'm talking about is a lot cheaper than an external mixer. Just keep that in mind. :P
