Well, i'm using two soundcards with main output on the primary and headphones on the secondary, as normal...
But did you ever notice that ONLY the active deck plays on the headphones and the inactive one doesn't?
How useless it that... How the hell am I meant to manually align the beats of the songs on the headphones if I can't hear both at once?!? Ugh.

Indeed, a cue mix feature would be absolutely superb, although, just learn to live without it...

I've always done my mixing purely on the PC before - How does an external mixer actually work?

a mixer is very easy in use..just plug the cable from soundcard 1 into channel 1 on the mixer ,and the cable from soundcard 2, into channel 2 on the mixer. Then use the crossfader to pan from channel 1 2 or 2 1. Easy :)
you can offcourse plug your headphone into a mixer ,and match the pitch/BPM/level before you crossfade. The headphones can monitor both channel at once or just a selected channel, either its channel 1 or 2
if you havent seen a dj mixer before; take a look at this "clasic" from pioneer: http://www.djsounds.com/hardware/djm-300s.htm

Just make sure you get good soundcards though. Bad sound cards have latency problems making mixing a horrifying experience.

your supposed to have the earphone over only one ear!
then you listen to your song playing thru the speakers at the same time and match the beats.
then when your happy with the sound, fade your headphone song into the main mix!

Skymaster! How do you like your DJM-300? I am thinking of purchasing one myself. I am wondering how accurate the BMP counter is. Is it more accurate then using Atomix' counter? Thanks.
