I started as a vinyl DJ, but been using Traktor and Serato with controllers for a few years, recently moved to Engine OS, Denon 6000m + A&H mixer and loving it. Love standalone gear, gives me the old skool vinyl vibe and choice of mixer without the Pioneer prices, there's just something about being on stand alone gear. Also the wifi streaming is great, I often just jump on and play brand new stuff from Beatsource without any need for prep - its liberating and a lot of fun. Highly recommend.

I'm in good company. I bought the lifetime Virtual DJ Pro's first incarnation in around 2003/2004 and have used it with several controllers and every incarnation of VDJ since. I've tried Traktor, Record Box, and Serato but for some reason I keep going back to VDJ. I just love it's automatic mapping, intuitive advanced features, and overall simplicity. If you want cheap, flexible, no-nonsense software with hundreds of unique features, but don't mind a bargain basement reputation then go for VDJ. I love it!

Phil I started out with Serato and the scratch live box, after having issues I tried Virtual DJ. That’s been the best discovery ever. VDJ is way tougher than the others and I’m surprised you don’t give them props when you do product reviews since you mostly talk about controllers with 2 reoccurring software. After using VDJ and going to other software you will realize so much how much is missed/lost. Also the reason why I had to return the prime 4, it sets me back. VDJ needs to come out with a controller like the Prime, with VDJ interface and HDMI out to connect to tv monitors.

It is definitely an important decision. I have changed far too much in 20+ months, curious to see whether anything is more appropriate. I have tried most Traktor, VDJ, Serato, Rekordbox, Engine, Djuiced. As you say, the worst part is changing between them. Having started with the Hercules 300 I purchased a single licence on VDJ, then the DDJ 400 and another single VDJ licence. I tend to use VDJ more than Rekordbox, but couldn’t tell you why. Loved Traktor, but it would alway glitch in the middle of a mix.

The best is what works for you. I grew up learning to DJ on vinyl and feel that I can adapt to whatever software I have to work with. There are a lot of commonalities in the software. Ultimately it is your choice of music that it is the most important criteria. I do currently use Serato with my Pioneer SZ2 controller for a lot of my gigs as a mobile DJ because of the tight integration between the controller and the software.

When I started out DJing, I used Virtual DJ. I wasn't comfortable with Rekordbox at the time so I went to VDJ. It's good software for the purpose it serves. I recommend it for new DJs. When I purchase the DDJ 400, I was ready to use RB. Since RB 6 series came out, it was very useful for DJs who use controllers and play on the big DJ systems. I play with both. That's what makes RB stand out to me. I currently use the DDJ 800 with RB. I simply enjoyed playing with it. I take it out on gigs as my backup. Now, I am looking at the Numark Mixstream Pro. I don't plan on leaving RB or giving up on my 800. I like the fact that Mixstream Pro is a stand-alone and doesn't need a laptop. Also, I would like the fact the Engine DJ allows you to use your RB USB, and all your cue points and beat grids are kept and it's analyzed on the fly. Even RB don't do that on their CDJ 3000. When I do get the Mixstream Pro, it will be my new backup. When it comes to DJ software, there is no right or wrong way. I'm a Rekordbox user and will be for a long time. It doesn't mean I can't use hardware/software that will further assist me as a DJ. You should be flexible and well-rounded.

To this day i still regard traktor as the superior software and i would much rather have a full working version of it than anything else. I can't get past (psychologically) the years and years of running into VDJ and just having it crash or refuse to analyze correctly. Funny enough , a decade later..now i've ended up working for Hercules, and boy am i amazed on how things have changed, even DJUCED is more than decent.

I hung up the headphones in 2012 (and am looking at coming back, hence why I'm here) but biggest problem with Rekordbox back then was just the export time (on Mac at least, no idea if Windows version was any better). It would take ages. Probably not a big deal if you're playing from a laptop though, but I can't stand playing from a laptop in the club, much prefer exporting to USB. That said, that's what I loved about Rekordbox though. I could export to USB for clubs/festivals, and if I was recording my radio show at home, I could stream straight from my laptop browsing straight from the CDJs, the experience was exactly the same.

Serato still won't let you ''Loop Roll'' over an active loop because Serato's Loop Roll effect uses the Loop Engine! With Traktor you can because the loop engine is separate from the FX engine! I love my Denon SC-6000M's for functionality but the sound quality is very digital & robotic when performing slow scratching moves or pressing stop with a 2 second stop time (like a technics SL stop) it just sounds terrible at slow speeds! But the Denon SC's sound fine when just playing a track and they have the best sounding time stretching algorithm. Traktor sounds amazing with DAW studio quality FX, I just with Traktor had Quantised Hot Cues like 1/2 1/4 not just 1/1

It has a lot of nice things you keep discovering about it, like scripting, addon plugins, vst suport, ableton link (which I just noticed but didn't get to test).. For example they now added a smart fader script which duplicates the FLX4 function on any controller, and I bet it was easy to implement with their system.

I have used all the software. The best software for you depends on how you DJ. For me, Serato felt clumsy. I felt like I had to take extra steps to do things that should be a single click away. It was also the only one with an extensive load time and that actually would rarely freeze on load. Never had that happen with rekordbox, Engine or VDJ (even when VDJ was chopping songs into stems on load). To my untrained ear, VDJ did not have the sound quality of Rekordbox. the songs felt lighter or more sparse when I played them on VDJ (I have done side by side listens). It made me concerned about using it on a bigger system. VDJ also does a lot, but it needs to be more organized in how it does it to actually be useful for a performance. Their EFX section needs a complete re work. Engine does not have the feature set of the others, but don't sleep on this- I believe when Engine is fully complete, it is going to be a monster. Which leaves Rekordbox, throw in the whole modern cloud features they keep adding and its a no brainer for professionals.

@@djdommenjay Yeah, I have never actually tried VDJ on a big system. I did listen to the same song on Rekordbox and VDJ, same controller, same speakers and I noticed a difference. Try it out, I do not have a trained ear or anything. See what you think. To me, Engine and Rekordbox sounded the best (I tried all four). The truth is- in most places the system is so loud and most partygoers are somewhat "distracted" (w/e the reason), I doubt anyone would notice any difference at all. Half the DJ s I see are straight red lining and no one seems to notice that either, ha, ha. Be well!

You can reduce this by reducing the latency setting in the software, assuming your laptop can handle it.

The Serato moiré on the Rane72 screen looks terrible, and Serato told me it was a Rane problem. But Virtual DJ's ripple effect looks great on the 72's screen! ! ! The difference is very obvious! Not a grade at all, what is the reason? ! !

I was leaning toward Rekordbox and the DDJ-400. Now that the Rev 1 just debuted, I know Rev. 1 is the direction in equipment I want to go forward with. So, is Serato my only option? I wasn't too keen on Serato Lite after downloading and trying it out. Serato Lite didn't perform as well as Rekordbox nor Djay Pro on my computer. Will there be a Rekordbox or Djay Pro availability for the Rev 1? Thanks

Hey, can i ask. Is VirtualDJ kind of jumpy in tracks for anyone else? I got the free version a few days ago and my tracks seem to be under the quality they should be. As in I have over 500 tracks and every one is bought over the iTunes store but alot of them sound pretty cheap and others tell me that the track needs to be bought when like I told you all my tracks are bought and paid for. I'd just like to know if when comes the day that I pay for the full software that this wont be an issue and if the Pro version is slightly more advanced in that sense. If any advice can be given here that would be awesome. Thanks

What's wrong with Traktor beat gridding? "only works with .. electronic music" (11:44) ... It has problems adjusting for fluctuating human tempo? What do other software with a more "up to date" beat gridding do that Traktor can't? Thanks for the guide
@digitaldjtips
Жыл бұрын
They have what's called "elastic" or "flexible" beatgridding, where they can do something similar to the "warp" function in Ableton Live, and slightly stretch or shrink sections of audio to force a track to a constant tempo to make it easier to mix. Traktor cannot do this.

Phill be great if you could say which one has best audio quality for mixing. Odd thing is when you play a file on widows media player sounds sooooo much better. Cant get my head around it so many settings now on them all i have noticed some controllers dont have the best dac/audio converter inside. Wish someone told me 15 years ago to start downloading wav’s notice improvement

I was using the craked version of VDJ, my controller was made for VDJ. But even though its very powertful in features but I really like the Pioneer gear and when I moved to rekordbox I am not looking back. what I miss: the easy way to play from folders, with favourites you did not had to insert music manually to playlists. Very flexible and a lot of places use it for music playback. but the full licence was to expensive, when the competitors have it cheaper or free with their gear. If you can dont use cracked versions or software, so unstable and not worth the effort. for me as an electronic dj, rekordbox is what I want. it took me a week to set up my library.
