eggssell Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 havent we had this like a million times?likett's or everything else.mac or pcxbox or ps3coke or pepsidogs or catstoe-mah-toe or toe-may-toeits gonna be a massive circle!!! Quote
eggssell Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 but as with all the above. i think its which one suits you better.examplei just want to play all my mp3s using my turntable. then no difference.i want to be able to play 4 decks at once. then traktor.etc. etc. etc. Quote
chrismak Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Perhaps some of the attributes to compare:FeaturesReliabilityCompatibilityUpgradabilityCost Quote
CBG Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 OH NO HE DII'INT!!!!My 2 cents:Traktor better for loop based (beat synced) DJ'ing. Richie Hawtin, Deadmau5 etc.Serato better for turntabilistsboth awesome Quote
eggssell Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Serato better for turntabilistsserato has no advantage whatsoever for people who use turntables.and if you mean turntablists i.e. use the turntables as an instrument, then the only difference is traktor handles slow scrathes better than serato. else no difference. Quote
CBG Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 everyHip hop DJ that i've met, has used it. meaning the industry uses it. meaning that they can perform together, teach each other.Serato is industry standard Quote
eggssell Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 craze (the most winningest dmc champion), klever (multi dmc champion), shiftee (dmc champion), grand master flash (the old school man), qbert (the alien) to name a few all use traktor scratch pro.the way i see it, early adopters of dvs went serato because it was the best at its time. but that stronghold is shifting becuase the best in the game have all gone traktor. but i take it back serato does have reliability over traktor. but that is irrelevant of whether you use cdj's or turntables.

CBG Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 yeah but they are all huge spinners man.Im talking about smaller guys like DJ Bonez. He gets a gig at a club, walks in there and plugs his USB in. Cus it allready has serato. Quote
eggssell Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 oh okay fair enuff. i guess i meant more feature wise. until qbert pointed out the differences in the slow scratch i couldnt see any difference bw the two. so when i was looking i was happy to get either or with price being the only decider.

Jaz Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 If Traktor were to stay at its current price im sure 99% of begginers would take it over Serato... Quote
Funky_Steve Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Does anyone think that seeing as Traktor have reduced their price, that Serato may do the same to remain competitive?A win-win for everyone. Quote
Jaz Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Nah, If the price became permanent I think they would Quote
wazza Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 no I dont think serato will reduced their price...from what I'm hearing from my source's traktor is moving stock because something new is coming out next year ( software ) ..the hardware will be the same ....& if you are now TSP user you will have to pay for the up grade to the new software Quote
Jaz Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 as in Possible Traktor 4?haha so they get a double win, charge you now to buy traktor, then in 6-12 months charge u again to upgrade just as you've got used to the old softwaresmart ass's Quote
wazza Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 traktor do this all the time.....last payed up-grade for TSP was about 2-3 years ago....bug-fix's are free ...but the major up-grades you have to pay forfrom what I hear....its going to be based on the s4 with other shit Quote
CBG Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 tsp looks fine to me atm. I'll let my skills do the rest Quote
tubby Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 check out youtube for qbert's comparison, there's next to nothing in it. serato won't go the massive price drop, theyu've only recently had new soundcard, new version and the ableton bridge. This special won't last so long that they'll chase the price down Quote
Cupe Posted October 28, 2010 Author Posted October 28, 2010 check out youtube for qbert's comparison, there's next to nothing in it.embed some clips Quote

tubby Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 even if they do put out a new release for, says $50-100 to update, I'd be waiting 6 months for the bug fixes. NI are notorious for using the paying public to beta test software Quote
Funky_Steve Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 For anyone contemplating on buying or who already have bought CDJ350's as then buying Traktor: Pioneer releases new MIDI Mapping firmware so you use a CDJ-350 as a controller for Traktor Pro (supported by Native Instruments), as well as new driver firmware for connecting your CDJ-350 to a PC.These new firmware updates can be found on the Pioneer CDJ-350 page.http://www.pioneer.com.au/Products/DJ%20Equipment/CDJ%...20DVJ%20Players/CDJ-350.aspx Quote
