SERATO VS TRAKTOR TIMECODE SOFTWARE
The results are significant- consistent stability and performance for the live DJs that rely on their software night after night. Beta Tests and extra features aside it remains that way today.Īfter putting the trials of Final Scratch behind them- Traktor re-engineered their system from the ground up to make it rock solid. They have consistently prioritized performance over features, which have earned them the respect and dedication from many DVS djs around the world. Serato has a well-earned reputation of stability. In our opinion, all companies should embrace this concept and tap into the creative ideas of their users. We literally re-invented the way a controller should work without ever building one and that creation is accessible to anyone in the world through a single import button.Įnabling the creative power of the crowd through API’s and flexible midi mappings will mean better products and new ideas. The VCI-100SE is the greatest example of this. Many of you may have no interest in ever touching a midi mapping but this system benefits everyone- by enabling others (like this site) to invent new ideas in DJing and share them with you. This makes actually creating midi-mappings somewhat daunting but those that brave this territory will find rich spoils await. Almost anything you can imagine a controller doing is possible within Traktor. Traktor’s biggest strength (imo) lies in their midi-mapping interface. For those that just want to map a cue points or other simple commands this is really not a problem but for the more adventurous DJ’s you’re going to hit a dead end quite rapidly. I would like to map a button to turn on the FX only while I am holding down a button but right now it only supports a toggle action with no way to modify the behavior. One example would be the new effects in Scratch live.
Basic midi mappings are available but very simple modifications to those mappings are not. It’s easier to use than Traktor’s midi-window thanks to their direct midi learn utility but that also greatly limits what you can control. Serato has midi implementation but it’s very limited. This higher frequency means better tracking of super slow record movements. If you start to dig into the details there is one small difference that might affect hard-core turntablists – that Traktor Scratch uses a 2khz carrier signal on its control records (Serato uses a 1khz). Dj TechTools will attempt to tackle that question in this article.Īs the video above clearly demonstrates, both systems have excellent response. With only a few minor performance differences between the 2 DVS leaders, most viewers were probably still left wondering which system is better for them. Predictably, there was little real difference between the two systems as both performed really well compared to traditional vinyl. ThudRumble posted a video this weekend of Qbert comparing the scratch response of Serato Scratch to Traktor Scratch.
