    Its ok to get started with traktor but one big issue is cueing tracks. The cheap way is to split the audio left and right and use one for cueing. You will need some cables adaptors for this. but its cheap. I know a few DJs that started off with this (HoodInternet). Later on you can get a soundcard what not. Maybe even some turntables and a mixer.

    This method is effective, however I like the tactile feel of turntables and a mixer. Djing with a mouse/trackpad makes me feel like i have one hand tied behind my back. In the end its all about what comes out of those speakers and if shes having fun.

    FYI i use serato religiously but thinking of switching because traktor offers so much more toys and stuff.
