numark mixdeck - virtual dj vs. traktor

[VA_DJ]

i just started seeing a few mixdecks with virtual dj on the box, but most others are all traktor. and i see traktor on the site.
any ideas about this?

which is the better choice?

Well, having used VDJ for years and just moved to Traktor, i'd have to go with Traktor - unless you want to mix video.

traktor might be a better choice since it is more of a industry standard that vdj is

i had kinda gotten used to the idea of running traktor anyway so i am glad to see that it is a good program.
i dont have the need for video just yet. thanks!
have you seen anything about the change over?

[farhanashraf]

what changeover

Ive used both and in my opinion traktor is superios for controllers ect. but virtual dj is better for the mouse because it is easier to use. Since your using a mixdeck id go for traktor.

I've been using VDJ for few months, I then bought myself the mixtrack and found myself forced to use traktor. Well to my surprise Traktor is so much better, it's just overall lot more structured and it's just a solid of a program. Only downside is having to upgrade to pro as it only comes with the LE which does not allow you to record and provides you with minimal amount of effects.

thought i'd just throw that out there though you have probably already made your decision

I use a Hercules RMX ( i got it as a quick fix and fell inlove with it) but I use VDJ Pro, and I have used traktor, I think its about preference. People go industry standard, But I find VDJ Pro does just fine. Granted Tracktor has more options with loops and such. But then again I like to be different then everyone else. So I would say go with what ever software you choose. Either way neither softwares dissapoint. Hope it helps
