hi everyone, i want to buy a mixer and connect it to virtualDJ (will buy virtualDJ PRO soon!!)
how do i connect a mixer to pc? i think that the maya 44 usb is a little expensive for me so i want to know what other ways there are to connect your mixer to virtualDJ?!

you can buy mixer with sound card inside (a few models of Numark), or you can buy standard mixer and use cheap 4.1 internal sound card to wuse with it.

i'm looking to buy a Behringer VMX-200 and connect it like you say with a 5.1 sound card
but how do i connect the mixer with my soundcard and in wich inputs/outputs must i put everything?

with behringer 200 you need only 2 outputs of your 5.1 sound card. You will have to use Advanced config at sound card setup (VDJ PRO only).
There you have to select 2 outputs, each for each deck. So for example: line out 1 for deck 1 (left and right) and connect it to line in 1 at mixer.
You can use any of 5 outputs.

but how do you connect you're mixer with virtualDJ?
something like from output soundcard to mixer and from mixer to ampiflier and ampiflier to boxes?
so if you move the crossfader you will only hear that the crossfader moves but you will not see it in virtualDJ?
is it something like that because of all the information I've got from you i think It's something like that.

exactly like that. My crossfader in VDJ stays in the middle. The same is with EQ knobs. I am using external mixer for all.
I use DjConsole as sound card. ch1 to line in 1 at mixer and ch2 to line in 2 on mixer.

I wonder if the external soundcard, maya 44, is the only choice if you want to connect a laptop with virtual dj and a external mixer? Can you use cheaper 5.1/4.1 external, usb soundcards?

yes you can ;)
Maya is a asio soundcard with multiple inputs for use with timecode vinyls
If you dont have a need for using timecode vinyls, any cheaper usb/internal 4.1/5.1 soundcard will work for connecting VDJ to external mixer

- so on my internal soundcard (5.1) ip put a cable in the green one and in the black one
- i put the cables (2x Y-splitter) on the inputs of my mixer
- and i use advanced config and select: green one -> input 1 on mixer
black one -> input 2 on my mixer
and from my mixer i go to my ampiflier and from my ampiflier
this will work?
and an other question: can i do it without an ampiflier (with 2.1 computer boxes 100 watt?)

yes, just like that.
Cable you need have stereo minijack connector on one end and 2 x RCA connectors (black/white and red) on other end of cable. See my blog for pictures of them: http://www.virtualdj.com/blog/xeon/blog2698.html
You can use any speakers connected to your mixer.
