Serato vs. Traktor Pro.

[exokinetic]

No. It does that, and it does it very well some times, but it's primarily about leveraging our collective synergy to elevate our mixing to the next level while providing an open forum for individual expressions of our admiration for specific software packages and hardware devices that empower our abilities to utterly destroy perfectly good music with unnecessary bullshit techniques because we're told that building a good set is neither necessary nor sufficient for becoming a modern DJ. Oh, and we also make fun of vinyl jocks for no reason and stroke each other's fragile egos whenever some tom dick or harry says something negative about digital DJing or auto-sync despite the fact that 99% of the EDM scene doesn't care and I–for example–haven't seen a single person in real life who even has a clue that this so-called online community exists.

And occasionally someone posts funny pictures.

I'm still laughing.

The absence of features in Serato is seen as a feature: because doing it the hard way is considered morally correct.

Traktor is more popular pretty much everywhere else.

Haha that is so hilariously true. Whoever made that rule is a moron, this truly gets in the way of progress. People can't just do what works for them because it may be considered easy, or "not real." Let's face it traditional DJing is to a degree easy (blending from a to b). I think old dinosaurs are afraid because they've gotten so comfortable getting away with making an easy job seem so difficult. Now that the technique is readily available they're upset, but its because they didn't evolve.

FYI, 15 years ago, those people were still considered boring to watch. I could state a legit gripe, but lets get over the circular argument.

That's it.

isnt that what DJTT is all about? being helpful?

it is... however, this would have to be one of the top 3 repeat questions on the boards here (the other 2 being "should i get a vci100, or..?" & "how do i connect my ____ to my ____?").

i dont think it would take 'hours' to find a bevvy of information using the search button on the forum's toolbar. seconds, yes.. hours, no..

however it may take 'hours' to read through all the threads and posts on the topic.
