no debate at all really, more depends on what you want to do and which can do it for you i bought traktor scratch pro becuase it was cheaper at the time, and i have used serato a ton of times. for what i do, load track, load next track, repeat. both work perfectly fine. back in the day there were arguements for traktor if you wanted to loop, effects, cues and other stuff. but pretty sure serato also does the same. i know wrxfiends serato had hot cues going. and the fallacy about serato is better for vinyl, from a user perspective is also a load of bs. ive onky ever used both with vinyl, and from a user standpoint is exactly the same. load track to deck. pick up needle put on record. setup wise i cant comment as ive never setup serato.
