i use ableton. i like the warping features and the quantized features. the layout is extremely important to me too! i love having everything in front of me--i think the layout is very flexible. i also love being able to make my own fx. plus i'm kinda nerdy; making layouts and trying new midi devices, ipod/ipad, is fun even if i dont use it.
i wouldnt mind having some of the features traktor has though, like two viewable waveforms. but for now ableton is working great. and it doubles as a DAW!
Traktor Pro, I've been using it for well, the four years I've been mixing. I tried quite a few before that, the only one that ever felt like what I believed was mixing was Traktor.
Traktor Pro!
I love the snap and quantize feature. As well I just love how many features there are, it feels like I can do so much with my mixing.
i've used something similar. Use and Audio 8 and plug into a 4 channel mixer. Than two decks turn on scratch control and use them as time code, then other two decks set to internal and use lets say and X1 to control them - well everything except for volume that is controlled with the mixer. Works great!Quote:

I use Virtual DJ, and am really happy with it. I use video at a lot of my gigs, though, so it's kind of necessary . Traktor will probably serve you best with the style of music you play.
ableton/itch.
got into dj'ing because i wanted do something more live with my productions and as much as i love ableton, there is nothing spontaneous about it to me. thats where itch comes in. the only thing i feel comfortable jamming with ableton is as a pure and simple drum machine like an mpc. djing with it bores me and all the musicians i love who "dj" with it seem like they play the same set over and over and over but with a few swapped files and the only "live" element is some sort of beat repeat element or random fx setting. i.e. nosaj thing or flying lotus. love the music but every single live video ive seen seems about the same as what i have seen but with random fx.
using serato at the moment works really good for me not only is it simple it just works... got tpro but been having couple of issues with it lately... do need a new comp though
Traktor 1 then 2 then 3 now Pro.
