While
other Digital Vinyl Systems (DVS) enslave the DJ by forcing him to buy
and to use specific hardware, Quad lets you choose your favourite
soundcard - in fact any ASIO soundcard will do, as long as it's ASIO
compatible and offers enough outputs and inputs for your needs
(typically a soundcard with 4 mono inputs and 4 mono outputs is good
for 2 decks).

Quad
even goes a step further by eliminating the need for Phono Inputs on
the soundcard, letting you connect your turntables directly to Line
Inputs instead of Phono Inputs on the soundcard thanks to its
integrated software RIAA Phono preamplification.

Quad
is currently (as far as we are aware) the only scratch system to
deliver real 3-deck and even 4-deck support. So, when 2 is not enough,
just add another!

Loop
Samplers, X-Filters, SVF Filters, Equalizers, Flanger, Phaser, Echo,
Delay, Reverb... You name it, Quad has it. While offering all the
crucial FX needed to elevate your mix to new highs, Quad also gives you
full MIDI control over nearly all parameters, so you're always in total
control of your mix even if you don't own an external mixer.
Fantastic program that rivals any other on the market at a fraction of the cost
