I haven't done any of this myself, but here are
the best strategies I've
read about.
1. get a sound card with enough outs to run your pc into a regular dj
mixer and mix like a regular dj. You would still need some sort of
control surface for transport / effects twiddling.
2. if you want to do scratchy stuff, there's the Ms. Pinky vinyl, and I
think the Stanton Final Scratch works on the same principle. I don't
know, but they might both be vinyl with SMPTE timecode on them.
This is the deal. Go for this. All you need for the cue/pitch is 2
midi sliders with enough range and 2 trigger buttons. The evolution
gear is nice for this, and you have a keyboard as well! ;) I'd
probably go for something like the trigger finger and a decent mixer
Ecler, rodec, A&H etc.
