    Default Serato Vs Traktor

    Hello long time lurcher first time poster... I used to DJ up until retirement in 2001 and a friend of mine asked if i wanted to be involved in setting up and internet based radio station. Now technology’s moved on dramatically since i retired. I was a 2 turntables and a mixer kind of guy! So i have missed CDJ's. But I’m getting into the laptop/midi controller side of things. Therefore I’m now looking at getting back up to speed. I would like to keep my turntables (for nostalgia purposes) So I’m looking at DVS one of my friends has serato which i have used numerous times and really like the interface etc... Now i use Traktor Duo as i have an Audio 2DJ soundcard... I have been looking at Scratch Pro and their DVS

    So which is best? Any Pro & Cons I have read reviews and I must say my feelings are mixed? So if any of you pros and people in the know can help me swing it I would really appreciate it!

    Thanks in advance

    If you've already got the Audio 2, then it's kind of a no brainer financially...

    TRAAAAAAAAKTOR!




    That's if you want to learn to do more than just jam TT's.

    If you only wanting to jam TT's...serato would be more in line with what you want to do.

    Traktor you can also jam TT's only, but you have scope to do SOOO much more.

    Sorry mate, yes definitely go the traktor route. Haven't had a chance to test out my x1 with the timecode setup yet but would be perfect for you i think. Even has a serato overlay and mapping if you wanted to use it with your mates' setup also.
