Boss101 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Need help? This is my first DDJ was wondering about both if someone could help me?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 They are fairly similar - main difference is the software that they come with.Do you have any experience with traktor or serato?I would be purchasing the one that has the software you prefer / like better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss101 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 I have no experience with either. This is my first mixing equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overit Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 As mitch said it really is all about the software.Historically Serato was preferred by turntablists using timecode and traktor was known for the button pressing community - BUT: as they have evolved both have become pretty similar now... one main difference is that traktor has the remix decks now (mini ableton session views if you have enough buttons to conttol them) while Serato has the SP6 sampler - (6 loop or hit players within the software)Also if you are buying a DDJ the timecode capabilities will be irrelevant to you.search youtube for traktor and serato tutorials and demos - check out all the features and decide which suits your idea of DJing best.

SolDios Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I personally find serato alot more stable.Also there's a really cheap s1 in buy and sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREMM1S Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 when i played on them the S1 seemed to be a better unit tbh.Also seen a shit load of them in the professional mobile scene, very popular product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legunner Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 They are pretty similar except the obvious 2 and 4 channel difference.I don't think it matters which one you get if it comes with bundled software. I like traktor better but that's just me. Truth be told, if you get seriously good and you start playing clubs you won't be bringing this with you anyways so it's all about whatever you feel like YOU would want to use.

Gandy Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 i personally prefer serato, ive used both traktor and serato and personally prefer serato. The main difference is with the ddj-t1 you get 4 channles and use traktor software, and with the ddj-s1 you get 2 channles and use seratoi would suggest going down to your local storedj or djwarehouse (if you are metro) and trying out the controller and software, to see which you prefer.there is no best traktor v serato, it just comes down to what you personally like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 agree w/ all you need to check them outalso think about what you need. ive used both, and because i use it only as a crate then none of the features made any difference to my decision. so i bought the cheaper oneso yeh other than horizontal versus vertical waveforms i found no difference using either of them.
