(it’s possible that Serato does these things, and I didn't dig in long enough to figure it out) What don't I like? *long sigh* Although I have no problem mixing music and recording it, there are a lot of items that annoy me because Traktor does them so well.

It doesn't affect my DJing because I use the jogs for nudging and scrubbing, but if I were scratching this would be a big difference.

I spent a few honest days using Serato, and here are my take-aways.ġ) It's really fast on an older computer! I put it on a 4th Gen, 4 core Intel running Windows 10, and I never felt like I needed more CPU or RAM.Ģ) There's something about the responsiveness with the jog wheels that's even better than my other MIDI controllers connected to Traktor. I’d recommend this combination in a second. It’s small and light, sounds good, and importantly feels great. Really, the SB3+traktor (+Kontrol X1) is a great combination.

Before I even started with other software I connected the SB3 to Traktor and enjoyed hours of productive spinning. I purchased a Serato controller, and the SB3 looked the best. I didn’t want to put Rekordbox on the list because the wisdom floating around was to use Rekordbox only if you are committed to the Pioneer ecosystem, which I don’t want to be locked into. (DVS and obviously vinyl before that) When I embarked on this experiment, I targeted Serato, VirtualDJ, and Mixxx as the applications I wanted to learn about. Second, I DJ for myself and have no motivation to play in a club anymore. No judgment, but it really makes a difference, and ideas about this are sprinkled through this post. My perspective veers away from typical DJ ideas: I have a performance and theory musical background, I produced before I DJd, I have audio engineering background as well with practical experience building studios and running live sound.Ĭompared to other instruments, I’d say more than half of the DJs out there approach music more intuitively and less technically (knowing music & theory). I’ve rewritten this post a few times and I’m going to keep it more accessible and usable rather than a recap of my process.
