My DJ software is __________, and this is why…

My DJ Software is Traktor Pro, because I prefer software that can be configured and tweaked like I want it. I am almost never satisfied with the default configuration of software.

Also NI creates some of the best DJ hardware in the world and Traktor is included in the box.

a use traktor because its the best… its that simply..,lol its all depends on what music you dj.. if you linear mix then any program thats solid is good but if you want to take dj to the next level and put ure personal stamp on ure mixs then traktor is the way to go. its the most solid program on the market with the best effects.

My DJ software is Traktor, and this is why: It gives me the flexibility to get a little crazy with mapping, effects and looping but also allows me to do standard mixing just as easy. The 2.5 update will add another level to mixing, all in the same software.

My DJ software is currently Ableton, reason being is I’ve been using it since 2004, initially as a production tool but it seemed an obvious cross-over to start DJ-ing with it (was a vinyl and CD man before that). Coming from a production background (as opposed to purely DJ) I love the workflow and flexibility in terms of FX, signal routing, use of dummy clips etc. and it got me out of the mindset of DJ-ing just being about 2 or 3 channels.

Having said that, I recently used Traktor at a gig, and am considering getting under the hood of it a bit more. Interestingly all the other DJ’s I spoke with at the gig who were using laptops (about 10 in total) were all on some flavour of Traktor. I’ll still use Ableton for doing re-edits beforehand and stuff.

My DJ software is Traktor Pro 2 because it is the one i feel most comforable on and when i started DJing i felt it was the most user friendly one, now i have a Denon MC3000 and it workd perfectly with it. My mixes try to be as smooth as possible and with the tools Traktor provides i can achieve that goal at the best of my knowledge and technique. Also im able to map certain effects very easly and in that way create build ups whenever i want. I upgraded yesterday to Traktor Pro 2.5 and its incredible the new musical possibilities that can be achivied with the new “remix” interface.

I think this is because of the lack of parallel waveforms; my friend was incredibly confused by this too.

My favorite DJ Software is Serato’s Itch. Its simple without being complicated. I love the multicolored waveforms. It lets me mix creatively while entertaining my party guests. It hasn’t crahed on my (yet :)) And hey it came with my Twitch.

I use traktor because of the great oppurtunity of mapping, but this is exactly what i miss in traktor. It would be (for me) so much better if it had parallel waveforms. I dont understand why there isnt 2 or 3 standard lay outs like in ITCH. It’s the only thng that bugs me….
