Hi folks, I'm running Parallels on my MacBook, and I'm trying to get the software to detect my MK2, but simply isn't happening, Virtual DJ runs fine on it, but it's not detecting my hardware? Any help would be appreciated!

i would recomend you dump parallels and use bootcamp
why not upgrade to virtual dj pro now and get mac version free when its released
discount for mk2 users :)

Parallels was designed on the same lines as VMWare, VirtualPC, etc. It is meant to provide a simulated environment compatible with many current and legacy operating systems, IE: Windows, Linux, Dos, Etc. Unfortunately it does not provide anywhere near adequate support for a hardware-lovin' piece of software such as VirtualDJ. I also recommend pulling down a copy of BootCamp and providing VDJ the environment it requires.
...and oh yeah, buying a full version of VDJ Pro will certainly help when the Mac OS version is released :)

I'm about to save you countless hours of pain and frustration:
Don't attempt to run VDJ in parallels.

When talking about VMWare (which was windows only until recently) and VirtualPC (which is now discontinued), you're talking about "emulation" software that was used to translate RISC PowerPC instruction sets to CISC x86 instruction sets.
Now that ALL Macs are Intel (x86/x64), there is NO emulation because the processors are the same.
Parallels "Desktop for Mac" and VMWare's "Fusion" takes adavntage of Intel's "Virtualization Technology" which was unveiled with it's "Core" line of processors: http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization/index.htm
Although I'm not advocating using VDJ in "virtualized" (much less "emulated") environments, there is a HUGE difference in performance between the two. Virtualization takes a 5-10% performance hit as oppsed to the 50%+ performance hit that emulation software would give you.
Ouch!
