    Thanks that answers other questions I’m sure will come up this weekend as I start playing around with it. I’m going to try and setup Hybrid mode this weekend. I am hoping to start getting into turntablism which is why I went with the 3900. I really like the feel a lot.

    I completely bypassed the soundcard and connected the SC3900 directly to the mixer and now it sounds great. I am using the USB to just test it out for now. So if I am understanding correctly, if I want to use the computer then I have to use the soundcard. If I want to just use the USB port then I am a DVS but if I want to use the computer I am midi? DVS I don’t need the sound card but MIDI I do?

    Thank you all for helping this n00b out.

    That is what I am hoping for. Its just being patient. When the questions arise, naturally I want an answer quickly (like now) so I can proceed. It took me over a week to get frustrated when I got my turntables and mixer wondering how do I hook this all up. Something is missing… Yeah A SOUNDCARD! I searched and searched and searched. All sorts of combinations but for whatever reason I wasn’t putting 2 and 2 together to see the missing piece until I posted a message and told what I had and was asking what I was missing. Then someone suggested a soundcard. They suggested a Rane SL2 but for the cost the Traktor A6 seemed like a better option for a beginner.

    DJ Vintage, I hadn’t known of the Denon Sc3900. My sound card does indeed work with Traktor. It doesn’t work, or appear to be compatible with Serator. I am using a Traktor A6 soundcard. I just didn’t like the feel of a DDJ-SX for scratching. It worked well, just the feel wasn’t there. I have no interest in going analog. As a true absolute beginner there are tons of questions that are 2nd nature to the experienced DJ, but for the beginner they are road blocks. Persistence is key I suppose.

    So I’m pretty new to this but I don’t see my Stanton and Trakor A6 equipment on the list of equipment for Serato. I do have Serato DJ for my DDJ-SX. Will it map and work perfectly with Serato DJ? While I am not experienced (at all), the little experience I have was with Serato DJ and my DDJ-SX.

    After a couple of months messing around and getting a few lessons, I made my 1st mix.
