Many will argue that a PC can be that stable and reliable (and I’ll agree, BUT…) You just have to do this, remove that, shut off this, then configure this and install that. I say why go through the trouble when I can buy a Mac off of the shelf and have it up and running in minutes reliably as a CPS with minimal effort – no driver conflicts and a predictable working relationship between the OS and the hardware.

As far as Megaseg goes. I like the program and highly recommend it to most Mac DJs except where heavy beatmixing is a concern. While Megaseg is probably the best automated playback software out there period (cocktail & dinner formats, internet radio) It still leaves much to be desired as a beatmixing software. For that I use M Audio’s Torq, which in my opinion is one of the best for beatmixing, but lacks video and automation capabilities.

Instead of using a software that does everything “good,” I use different software platforms that are “great” at what they do, but may be lacking in other areas. By combining them, I have the ultimate software functionality. And for DMX I use ShowXpress because it’s Timeline feature makes it “great” at what it does.

…And once again, that’s why I choose to use the OSX platform… because it is “great” at power-user level audio production.

I also highly recommend getting a copy of Charles latest book “Introduction to Computer DJing & CPS” and consider being part of the hottest new DJ discussion group in the industry.
