+1. When I used Virtual DJ, a long, long time ago, I had a problem. Went over to the Virtual DJ Forum and didn't really get my question answered. First there were people saying I should register my Serial Number before they would help me. WTF?
Yes, a lot of arrogance there and they have a star system or something like that. So people with 5 stars feel really good... F*ck them!
Traktor's support (from the forum) is excellent and even here you'll have more than good support! I like Traktor's enhanced features and NI makes hardware (Traktor Kontrol X1) that goes perfect together with Traktor!
i started out with the vdj le that came with my hercules mk2, it was fine as a first app to see if i liked purely digital dj'ing or not. i haven't tried the full vdj, mostly decided to go with traktor due to all the support for it on this forum.
i love the effects stuff in traktor and not sure quite what the full vdj has.
vdj is way more configurable than traktor tho, with builtin scripting to do almost anything - traktor is very limitted in comparison. i've seen some really complex custom vdj configs that people have created that are only possible in traktor with middleware software like my midimasher. someone posted a slicer implementation a few days ago for vdj using only it's built in config.
personally i preferred the waveforms in vdj, but didn't care too much for the skinning, tho traktor could do with at least some more flexible layout options.
you can also (i think) theoretically have as many decks in vdj as u like - not limitted to 4 as in traktor.
u have to try the demos of each to decide really. support here on the forum for traktor along with the effects units have to be two good reasons for going with traktor.
