Hey guys. I'm having some serious thoughts on changing over the record box dj and getting a ddj rx. Ive used traktor for well over 4 years now. love the program but it has some issues. Hate not having horizontal wave forms to watch like in serato. The library management sucks. But my biggest issue is my s8. I absolutely hate not having platters. hate it. I thought when i bought it i could get used to it but its turning into a major issue. Especially since the clubs in my city are asking me to get turntables or cdj's to look more professional and like I'm busy. I find myself using sync to match the tracks more and more often because its a pain in the butt to change the tempo. Takes twice as long versus using a normal tempo fader. Theres no such thing as quick tempo changes while using the s8. I personally love the feel of platters so I'm trying to get back into it. I cant get turntables because the clubs i dj at have to much bass and cause the needle to jump. And i cant justify spending upwards of 2000$ on xdj 1000's so i can have platters. The s8 is a great controller but only if you like to do ONLY edm. Anything else and it turns into a nightmare. So I'm looking to jump to another program.
Im liking what I'm seeing with recordbox dj so far. Looks just like serato with the wave forms. As far as i know its midi mappable so i can use my midi fighter to add effects and launch samples and its coming out with dvs and video. I love how the controllers have instant gratification effects and a step sequencer. I absolutely love how the track library is set up and how powerful record box can be in setting up your playlists and future sets. The program looks like a true boss. But I'm still hesitant on jumping to it. Would it be better to go over to serato which is true and proven?
I guess my main question is for you guys who have used the program to live dj. How does it feel. how reliable is it. Is it truly worth jumping into or should i just go with serato. I would really appreciate some feed back on this. Its been bothering me for some weeks now.
