Can anyone send me a link to the best website for selling the vestax typhoon that comes with traktor le, because most of the websites have virtual dj.

Okay, there is just one more thing I do not get, in itunes library when I go to click play on the icon it doesn’t play, this is because it is an MPEG-1.

Would this affect in anyway when I want to select it to play?

If it can be played in itunes as an mpeg, it can be played in traktor

Okay, I have converted them from youtube into itunes but when I look back at the format, instead of mp3 format, it tells me it’s MPEG-1?

Is there a way of changing that?

Yup traktor reads mp3s

I see, yeah I heard about that slight problem with the headphone cueing, but I’ll give it a try anyway.

Also, if I rip music from youtube and download it as mp3 format, should it work with traktor so it will work when I play?

I’ve never used virtual dj, but the vestax typhoon is just a midi controller so you should be able to map it. The only issue you might come across is the headphone cueing since i don’t know how the built in soundcard is controlled.

Hi there,

I bought the Vestax Typhoon recently and like the software that came with it in it’s box ‘Traktor LE’ or whatever, but not too keen on it personally.

So what if I were to stop using traktor and use ‘Virtual DJ’ instead, would it be possible to use that software without causing any effect?

Hi again, for traktor would it work with cd’s, as in burning them onto you laptop and play them from there?

I am really interested in the Vestax Typhoon and using traktor, should I give the software a go on my pc before I give it a go?

“I hope hardware and software like the Vestax Spin and Djay will help introduce DJing to a whole new generation. Skill is skill, no matter what the tools. Some kid is not going to come up and destroy the achievements of Q-Bert or Grandmaster Flash. She’s going to succeed by doing something different. If you’re worried that a kid on a $250 DJ controller is going to steal your thunder, then you have bigger fish to fry like upping your own game. Recognize your history, but evolve.”

-I couldn’t agree more. Very well said. Thanks for the review.
