Which software do you prefer mate, Traktor or Serato? Style of music?

Also, do you plan to use it for scratching?

I’ve used traktor before and I like it but are their more features on the DDJ SR controller with serato than the s4 with traktor. I’ve never used serato so I’m not sure if I’ll like it. I don’t really mind about scratching not a big thing. Thanks

The S4 is a 4 channel controller and the DDJ SR is only 2. Personaly I prefer Traktor over Serato. They pretty much both have the same functionally. It’s going to be a matter of preference most likely.

S4 man, or wait for Pioneer to come out with the RR, RB?  
Serato is practically going to die now
