Stereo Tool

Ok maybe the category best sound doesn't apply to my question but it is the closest one I could find.

Situation :
Daddy, being me, and a friend agreed to do some dj stuff at a school party to get some money funds for new stuff etc
Now my plan is to take my friends pc since he has all the music already sorted etc.
I know the pc well since I build it. Intel i5, 8GB ram etc etc so performant enough. I think it has an ALC889 or so onboard.

Now the main thing .... latency.
What would you guys recommend to do and use so latency would be as limited as possible?

If you are planing to use ST for live DJ, just forget it.DJ'ing needs 'zero' latency.

If there is some money just get Traktor with, for example, MAYA44USB!
Later... S4!

Mmm would an Orban 8500 work or is that a bit overkill for a school party.
I still have my own selfmade multiband processors but I will probably need to dust them off since they are now approx 22 years old

why anyway you need processing ?
btw, there is great limiter in traktor and also auto gain[s].

Because I'm addicted!
Will checkout traktor. If not to expensive and easy to learn I will buy it.

ah, that's different story

Call me old skool but 2 cd players and a turntable is going to do the job

always will

As one who has done the DJing thing, I agree - zero latency is a must, but, you can "sorta" get by if you are really good and have noise cancelling headphones and can listen to a good "live" program mix in the cans and discern which is the program feed versus the final mix past the latency/etc.

As for the greatness of Stereo Tool, certain things like the bass enhancer and stereo image processing, plus the multiband + AGC -- could make a pretty big difference in a normal DJ's kit that has probably nothing more than a single band compressor and some EQ.

For good DJ, ANY processing (except some soft limiter - to protect speakers and amplifier) is not needed.
