Suggestions as to Hoster hookup to my rack

[Debbi]

[quote=Debbi;70893]Hi, thank you very much for your reply about a week ago! A few questions....
---Running Hoster and Sam DJ together in the same laptop
won't mess up either one? I thought Hoster recommended that
it be ran by itself. Will the 2 together cause any problems?
---When you do a show or party...how do you go between the
two programs....is it easy?
---On Sam DJ, how do the disc's get loaded? As with Hoster, when
you put a disc into the system, it has all of the titles for that particular
disc already in the program....so with Sam DJ....I have alot of DJ
compilations with various artists....does Sam DJ have every
disc out there already in it's program or am I going to have to type
in all of the song titles and artists?... How does that work?
---You mentioned another application for the song print out on
Sam DJ.....what do you recommend, or do you, personally, even
make a print out? I don't usually give my customers any kind of
song print out.
Thank you so much!!!!!!

Some of us on here run separate programs for DJ along with hoster.
The only problem i would think you can run into is if your DJ program is playing videos or running a slide show along with the music. If you are running straight music,
you should have no problem, in the event you do, please let us know, we will fix it for you.

no problems at all whether you run windows media, musicmatch or sam dj as a second application open along with Hoster. With SAM DJ there was not a cd ripper so i use win media or musicmatch to rip all my cd's, then just add the folder or directory with sam dj,,,you pretty much create folders (playlists) with sam dj, but you can search songs easily. It's an easy program to run....but there is not an option to print out your music in book format for a client to look at. I suspect you could buy a program that would organize and do that for you, might be worth the money, i use musicmatch jukebox i have had for 5 years, only to print out my songs in book format.............

i have used hoster for video (dance video's) not sure i'll continue though, it's not bad, but moving forward into dance video's as a DJ/VJ probably means there is "better" software and that might be when i jump to a different DJ software all together????

Good Luck,
