I Love Traktor but.....

+1 with Moniker, Serato is industry standard. But I understand where you are coming from with T-Pro being on the cutting edge. But being that they added all these feature you more likely to have more problems.

The reason Searto is the standard. They used the KISS method. 2 decks, loops, cue points, 2 sound card SL1 & TT57. Sure you provide the decks, but most clubs run either CDJ's or 1200's being that they are also the standard.

Now Traktor, has NI, making the software, and 3rd party soundcards & controllers. Just cuz something say its Traktor/Scratch ready doesnt mean it was made for Traktor.

yeah i can underline the fact that serato is industry standard. im living near a club where the worlds best djs come to.
from one place you can directly look into the equipment and every dj i have seen till now (diplo, a-trak, aoki, fake blood etc etc.) is using serato or no laptop at all. :]

Oh, noooo! Steve Aoki,...if you live in Cali, and you mention that name on this Forum its like say Beetle Juice three times. Its going to start a fire storm on why people/dj hate his soo much.




But back to Traktor, the reason djs like using it, its because we want to use something different. Alot of user of Traktor have been using it since Traktor 1 or 2 before Serato even came out. And we have seen it grow since it was a baby, now its a teenager...acting up and what not

Ha, my ex-girlfriend would actually curl up into a ball if you threatened to say Beetlejuice 3 times.....

I always went to 2 just to be mean.

Serato seems to be industry standard in the US and with hiphop DJ's, but traktor is standard in Europe and for the techno/electro scene it seems.

It's true only hip hop DJs use serato.

Serato Dj's & Hip Hop go hand in hand, but I've seen alot of dj's use it to mixing everything. I would pay to see a Dj in New Zealand talk smack about Searto, I've heard its against the Law...

I do not agree. Serato is the standard even in europe : You can even find a bunch of clubs where you just have to plug your laptop on the SL1.

You mean the industry standard? It already is.

Yes, they have some development issues at the time, but they're hiring. In this economy. So I'm confident they'll get their act straight in the course of 2009. So gather round and let us play the waiting game.

Traktor is not the industry standard at all . This comes from someone who has been using Traktor since version 2

Traktor might be the standard software here, Serato still beats Traktor specially when Dj's are using external units like turntables.
The reason why I think TP is not as flexible as T3 is because the menu for Cues, Loops Beatjumps and Grids is not actually very logical. I liked the arrangments you could make in T3 way more. Of course I cannot say I like T3 more than TP, as I said earlier, in the way of becoming (maybe sometime in the future) a great Dj application, they have stopped listening to people. Any kind of succesful software has to rely on their users, and this is something that has made a great diference, it happens with Ableton where you feel the software is able to adapt to you and your needs, it also happens to a lot of applications whether we´re talking about music, graphic design or whatever.
Ipods are the industry standard for Mp3 Players, the guys from Apple know it, they know we will buy it, they do whatever they want even if that means selling horrible sound.
