    Default Serato CDJ Timecode Performance

    pretty much im looking for someone that can convince me serato is better then traktor for using cdj timecode.

    I used traktor scratch pro at a mates today and it sucked with cdjs like i remember when i used to use timecode vinyls even that was more accurate then the way traktor scratch handles cdjs.

    I'm guessing serato would be better?

    No idea. Never even thought about it.

    I think using a DVS with CDJs is pointless. But I know a lot of people who do it without problems…then again, the same is true for TS CDs.

    I've used both traktor and SSL timecode, cd and vinyl. hands down i would go with SSL, less issues with CD. Im waiting to see if SSL is going to release a update like they did with the performance vinyl timecode.

    Karma, i wouldnt worry too much what the pros are using cause i think its all marketing hype. If you have a chance, try out both. I went to SSL cause its plug and play and Ive never (knock on wood) had any issues with the SSL timecodes.
