Hi there, i have a pioneer DJM-500, which i use with virtual DJ.
I have 2 seperate USB sound cards, one for channel 1, and one for channel 2.
My problem is when using an audio recorder, the software locks to only ONE soundcard, for example channel 1's soundcard which it records fine, but does not record what i play through channel 2 on the other soundcard.
Is there a piece of software that can record from BOTH soundcards simultaneously?
Help appreciated, Rob.

you need to be recording the output of the DJM-500
for that you can use an external device or route it back into a PC and use for example Audacity to record it.
for an external device you could try something like this www.amazon.com/TASCAM-DR-05-Portable-Digital-Recorder/dp/B004OU2IQG/ref=sr_1_204?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1412430457&sr=1-204&keywords=digital+audio+recorder

When using an external mixer, what you need to do is record from the output of the mixer.
In this case you could use the booth output, as it has it's own level control.
In the old days we used something called a tape recorder :-) but now you could use a digital audio recorder.
EDIT - snap!

As stated, you'd be better off recording it directly from the mixer with a dedicated device - something designed for the job.
You could feed it back to the computer from the mixer, but most computers only have mic inputs and the DJM output is line level.
Also as the computer is already busy playing back, using it to record at the same time may cause playback or recording issues such as pauses/glitches - especially if you're not using a professional low latency audio interface.
