Hey there again, I've been furiously researching the whole DJ topic for the past month or so & from what I gather this is the breakdown.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I just want to make sure I understand the setup you're going for. You primarily a PC DJ, all of your music is on your laptop in some shape or form, but you now want to expand your versatility & start using turntables & a mixer...correct?
there are two additional components you will need to make this all work. Lets start with what you have (& are looking at), you PC with the VDJ software & music library, a two line sound mixer & two turn tables. On top of that you will need a sound card, which in the other post I suggested either a Maya44 or two Behringer UCA202 (I'm still not sure if CDJ can handle two ASIO cards at once, if not the Maya44 will do just fine). Lastly two Time Code Vinyls, one for each turntable (they run about us$10-20 each)
For some line by line instruction I suggest the setup video by DJ Socross...quite entertaining as well.

I'm quite sure I've covered everything as best I could as a beginner. I hope I understood your desired setup & that the instructions I gave have been helpful.
Mix On!

Sure thing, seeing how I haven't been corrected I'll take it that I answered the question in full. Unless there is anything I missed & someone with more technical knowledge can fill in for anything I missed.
Glad I could Help.
