Personally, I can’t stand using it, but I’m a bit of a serato power-user and Serato has a way of implementing little things that really help with the flow. It’s got the featureset and the library functions are cool (although no secondary sort is a bit of a dealbreaker for me), but imo, it doesn’t put it together as cleanly and as smoothly as serato in terms of usability. Flexible Beat gridding is fire, it even tries to do it automatically during analyses. The tagging system seems like a powerful tool.Ģ. Other than that I'd say if I was a newbie starting off I will be content with what's on offer.ġ. The Lyrics thing also had a 3000 track limit. So if you use a DJ Intro version the lyrics don't line up.ĥ. I trialled the video plug in as well to test the lyrics plug in, it was cool but downside is that it only worked for studio releases properly. I haven't tried the DVS bit yet, for a while it was near impossible to buy their timecode vinyl but I think they are readily available now. When one clicks on a parent playlist with sub playlist it doesn't show the tracks in the subs. I don't have time to maintain separate play list for audio and video.Ģ. The lack of mixed playlist ie both videos and audio tracks as one playlist. I have no intention to go the USB only path with Rekordbox I was more interested in the performance software.ġ. I initially copped the XP1 or whatever that multiple pad controller is called. I bought the DDJ400 to mess with Rekordbox DJ properly. (I'm a HUGE FAN of that product, btw!!) Are the above points true? Is Rekordbox a legit contender against Serato DJ Pro? Am I just late to the party? How many DJs are considering moving over (blasphemy, LOL)? Are there any DJs that have already made the switch and if so why? Please comment & share your experiences with Rekordbox on this thread. The only Pioneer DJ product I even own is the Pioneer DJS-1000 sampler. Hmmmm, I know next to nothing about Rekordbox. Rekordbox is also closing the gap in terms of reliability & stability. In the short time Rekordbox has been made public & developed it has made huge progress in terms of features. Stick a USB drive in filled with music and your good to go.
#SERATO VS TRAKTOR 2018 SOFTWARE#
So, to put this in the correct context- a DJ from my close inner circle is contemplating moving on from my beloved Serato software for two major reasons:ġ.

I'm just now wrapping my head around what he told me. He also said that he may transition over to using Rekordbox exclusively?!! Silence. He stated that the XDJ-1000MKII offered more value & flexibility for the price versus the Rane Twelves. I was at a lost for words! This was coming from the same DJ that I've know for over 15+ years who introduced me to Serato. After that, he told me that he had bought a set of Rane Twelves but has since returned them and purchased a set of the Pioneer XDJ-1000MK2 instead. It started off with me inviting him to an upcoming Christmas party that I'm DJing but of course he has to work an event on that same night (a problem when many of your friends are DJs).


I've been using serato for a couple of years now and I absolutely love it, recently however I had a go of a.Yesterday, I had a conversation with a close DJ friend of mine. Talk about Serato DJ Pro, expansion packs and supported hardware Serato vs traktor.
#SERATO VS TRAKTOR 2018 PRO#
Serato DJ Pro General Discussion Serato vs traktor. Serato DJ: 22 standard FX, five add-on FX packs with a total of 42 FX. This is in stark contrast to Rekordbox DJ, which is not being licensed to other manufacturers because it is strictly for use with DJ controllers released by Pioneer DJ. The result is Serato DJ works with more gear from more manufacturers. However, Rekordbox DJ takes it a few steps further with more advanced tools, including star ratings, custom tags, related track searches, and a dedicated window for ID3 tag editing.

Both Serato DJ Pro and Rekordbox DJ let you import, browse, search, and organise thousands of tracks in a music library. TRAKTOR DJ 2 is a DJ app without barriers it’s free, SoundCloud Go+ integration means you have access to an endless track collection, and TRAKTOR’s song recommendations help you choose which one to play next. With Native Instruments finally updating Traktor Pro 3, in this video we have a comparison between the new version of Traktor and the latest version of Serato DJ Pro.
