Cupe Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 i chose serato even though i've never used dvsi just want serato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubby Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 depends on what you want. serato is rock solid, but very basic. traktor is half way between dj'ing and ableton, 4 decks, effects, but even after 5 point releases, I still am not confident in it and always have a backup.but if I was just using a dvs, I'd stick with djdecks, I found it much better than serato, more customisable and can use your own sound card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBG Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 serato is king. Industry standard. Doesnt beat lock of thats what you want, so not good for mulit deck looping, which you'd know from Richie Hawtin Tomy.Traktor is still awesome though.I just think Serato is used as a very nice program for turntabilists that dont wanna lug a thousand records around.Good answer??

Tomy Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 yeah good answer CBG, i'm not interested in beat locking, the 4 decks is very very appealing. SL3 = serato lite 3?? :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defanutley Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 SL3 = the sl3 soundscard not the SL1 soundcard,higher quailty soundcard ,more ins & outs, can record dj sets in seratoits good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 i went traktor pro cuz thats all ive used... though i too did heaps of reading and video watching of both, and was leaning towards sl3 but only went with traktor because it was massively on sale, and as a newbie i was hoping to slash as much startup costs as much as possible (in case i stink at it!). i also figured if its good enuff for craze then it will suit my amateur azz...from what ive read the audio 8 is a much better sound card than the sl3, but the serato ui is much more friendlier. traktor does also have a lot more bells & whistles, but as ive previously mentioned ive only ever used it with two turntables in absolute mode and it does me well. very low latency. in these early days playing vinyl on one deck and time-code on the other i can't really feel any diff.

psyEDk Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 You really can't compare the two.Serato is great if you come from a scratching background and want to manipulate digital audio in a similair fashion, while Traktor is great if you're interested in mashing up audio with loops, filters, triggered efx, and cue points.Personally i prefer Traktor.The power of the program really comes out when you start customising your midi mapping assigning multiple functions to a knob or say having different 'modes' you can switch to so a single fader can control different functions.

defanutley Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 the both do the same job which is to play digital music files ,so the only real queston is do you like the traktor or serato layout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
