your all going to hate this thread.

Not that it matters, but I think saying Serato is for Vinyl purists touched a nerve haha. Apologies.

Yeah i can imagine it would. Sorry mate. Considering youve probably been mixing far longer than me i understand where your coming from lol.

Like i say, i can only comment from my experience. The majority of times ive seen it has been used with controllers, which is just so cringey to watch. I think my dislike of controllers (often used with traktor) has taken over to using it with a dvs. I just always shake my head in disappointment when i see someone use a controller, and 9 times out of 10 theyre using the controller with traktor. So i think thats swayed my opinion against traktor lol.

Just sick of seeing all the little badman deejay's on fbook thinking theyre the next mampi swift because they can hit sync and shove a load of effects on top of a shitty mix. (And like i say, majority of the time ive seen this its been done with traktor).

On a side note... When you getting on DNBForumTV!?

Serato is supposed to have better sound output in DVS mode than Traktor, at least on Windows laptops anyways. Also Traktor is more focused on controllers in which field it shits all over Serato.

Probably also why i chose serato. lol.

Although now theres that serato itch thing isnt there? Where the software can be used with some controllers. Havent really looked into it though.

i crossed this bridge 3 months ago and bought a CDJ2000. never looked back!

[Dektekdee]

I had the same problem a while back. Sold my 1210s for CDJs.
I chose this option purely so i dont have to piss about before a set in a club. Just bring my CD wallet, stick my cds in and bang your off. Also a decent set of 1210s that actually work well is getting harder to come by in clubs. I personally think its easier and safer to go for CDJs even though it was horrible giving up my technics. Its all personal preference though really.

Also tunes are dirt cheap now

[Teddy]

with regards to playing out. dvs are not 100% ideal. depending on how their set up is you could face a few problems.

nowhere to put your laptop
can't access the back of the mixer easily.
and worst of all a club without sound while u do the above.

from that perspective, cdj's are are better option to play out with. if you can use them without having to own a pair. bingo!
if you have a mate with pioneer cdj's ask to have a go and get used to how they work.

cool story bro..... seriously it was. very useful insight, the vinyl-user's lament so to speak

ha ha. it was traumatic time for me.
i had to ditch my vinyl buying habbit due to unforeseen circumstances and go digital. im a vinyl collector first and a dj second. making the switch wasn't as painfull as i first thought.

[Dagz]

CDJ's for proper dj's and Traktor or Serato for lazy cunts. Thats my opinion.

I was going to laugh at this, but if you can elaborate as to why you think this is, i'll try not to.

[fuuz3r]

if you want push start n go kind of system then vinyl and/or cd-s. if you want laptops and more cables and waiting 10 minutes to boot up before you can mix then serato or traktor. traktor is more fun tho ...in terms of constant configuration and frustration.

[t345e]

Go and test out both and see which you prefer mate. I used serato but my mates have traktor and ill have a mix round theirs and there's no real difference to be fair. I just prefer serato because I'm used to it. If I had the cash I'd buy some cdjs though.

[ZackMRG]

I've been in the same dilemna myself- Ive tried to get to grips with CDJ's but I really cannot get my head round them, and as I already know how to mix vinyl I'd rather treat an upgrade to Serato or Traktor as a progression, wheras I'd feel with CDJ's itd be back to square. Did I mention I'm incredibly stubborn to change?

Though as mentioned by a few people in this thread, I really havent got a clue about the major differences between serato and traktor- I was always under the impression cost a heck of a lot more, for reasons I dont know lol.

Before anything I need a new laptop though, dont think a three year old notebook would be able to hack running either software to be honest...
