Serato VS Traktor ?

[JesC]

Both! Because they both work, traktor is good for long sets. Serato is awesome cuz its plug and play.

if you use controllers, you can use Traktor without hardware. With Serato, you (more or less) can't use controllers, it's only for DVS, e.g vinyl simulation.
If you play quite simple, basically just mixing tracks without too much fancy MIDI stuff, Serato is best due to its minimalism. If you do lots of complicated manouvers like chopping up songs right on the fly, you're gonna want to use Traktor.

Personally, I use Serato for long gigs where I need to be flexible, and Ableton live for shorter, more intense sets. Traktor sits in between these two ideologies.

Put very simply, a MIDI controller is a device that *controls* your software of choice via *MIDI* message. The VCI 100 , for example, is a midi controller.

Edit: Here read the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical...ital_Interface, and if you plan on using traktor, buy the Traktor Bible

SL box is in reference to the hardware that's required to run Serato. Traktor doesn't have this requirement. If you want traktor Scratch You will need an Audio 4 or an Audio 8 or a Traktor scratch certified mixer. I don't recommend Traktor Scratch for you yet, maybe later, but not yet.

I prefer Serato because it's simple and relaible.
