#SERATO VS TRAKTOR 2012 SOFTWARE#

My choice was guided by the following requirements: total software compatibility (which I made sure of on the company's website) a minimum amount of buttons (to avoid manipulation errors as much as possible) and a customisable midi mapping, so that I could assign a software function to each controller key. You don’t need a Traktor-ready sound card/DJ controller to use Traktor One of the biggest differences between Serato DJ and Traktor is the fact that you don’t need a Traktor-certified controller or audio interface to run it in its full-featured glory.

I use Djay Pro 2 and Pioneer's DDJ Wego 4, which is a very simple 2-deck controller. Everyone wants to know the deal about what to get: Traktor Scratch Pro or Serato Scratch Live Hard core vinyl addict here, Dj Q-Bert using both side by side.

I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro with MacOs' latest version. There’s also Serato Intro, which can be easily changed to Serato DJ. Whilst it is a little less geeky in its implementation, the maths that allows you to chop and change any song without altering the underlying harmonics is still present. Many costly controllers on the market come with a complimentary Serato DJ license. Traktor is just as multi-purpose as Serato, but as with every product it has its own specific strengths too. My personal setup is quite simple, but it meets my needs (which is the production of a weekly 2-hour electronic-music radio show with all tracks live in the mix (and bpm ranging from about 110 to 150 or 160 bpm). Meanwhile, avant-garde artists such as Otomo Yoshihide, Philip Jeck, and DJ Spooky that Subliminal Kid, continue to explore. As far as price is concerned, both Serato DJ and RekordBox DJ are comparable. Now, as far as software is concerned (which, actually is your topic's subject) it is more complicated as neither Traktor, Ableton or Serato seem accessible (unless I'm mistaken? If so, then please let me know).

Traktor includes this feature, while Serato DJs will need to opt for the US29. Both Serato DJ Pro and Traktor Pro 3 give you the ability to DJ directly from a laptop without connecting any hardware. To me, it seems that the only requirement for a controller is that there are physical buttons, cursors and so on. For the latter, Serato DJ Pro might be more suitable, with just enough options to make sure the software looks and works the way you want it to.
