My DJ software is __________, and this is why…

My favourite DJ software id Djay 4.0 and the reason why is i have a Vestax Spin and the software integrates perfectly witht he controller and my Macbook. Yes it lacks the bells and whistles of the big boys but it does the job and i can record my sets with a click of a button. I will be changing to Itch once i get my VCI-380 though 🙂

My DJ software is Ableton Live because it gives me control over my music to use songs as a launching pad for new creations instead of enslaving me to going from track to track between decks. I like to incorporate live synthesizer performance into my sets as well, and Ableton gives me the mix of tools necessary to do that. (Also, Ableton’s warp tool has always been the most intuitive beat-gridding protocol for me)

My dj software is traktor pro2 and this is why.
I used the very first version ever of traktor
this>>>>

I’ve used every version of traktor since then and just love it…..i have tried PCDJ red and VDJ but hated them and always went back to traktor. So i suppose it’s just a case of i’m very comfortable using traktor which i think is the best dj software out there, plus i think i’m just set in my ways seeing as i’ve been using it for 10 years or so.

When i used the very first version of traktor ( i still have it in original box under my PC desk, it was called traktor dj mixer) there was no controller integration at all so i was just using keyboard and mouse, it wasn’t as advanced as what traktor is now, but you could use 2 soundcards with it…one for master and one for cue,monitor, also, and this shows how long ago it was native instruments were in partnership with steinberg the makers of cubase as it also says Steinberg on the box as well as Native instruments. It was the software that got me started in the digital world and i took to like a duck to water as they say.

It was many years ago, i’m looking at the box right now and it says steinberg creative tools and also a link to http://www.steinberg.net, it also says on the box “licensed by native instruments”. So to me that points towards the very first version of traktor actually being released as a product of steinberg with a native instruments license, also it states fraunhofer mp3 codec which was made by steinberg and gives the address as steinberg media technologies AG 2001 all rights reserved made in germany. So the first version was released in 2001, i remember i bought it in 2002 from PC world

Traktor vs. Rekorbox: could somebody please give me a couple of compelling reasons why I should use Traktor instead of Rekordbox? I will mostly be playing on CDJ 2000 setup with DJM 900 nexus mixer. I saw recent HID development for Pioneer and Traktor, however I have been using Rekordbox very happily so far. I am not an FX junkie, I use a moderate amount of FX straight from DJM 900. It seems as if the best setup for me would be to use the hardware for all FX, loops etc., and simply use a tablet / laptop / USB stick for track selection using Rekordbox. I’m happy to be convinced that I should go with Traktor after all if someone can give me some compelling reasons…thanks in advance

My DJ software is Traktor and this is why, the first controller I ever bought came with Traktor so that what I learned to use.

That’s not the only reason of course, I could have switched to Serato when i got my Twitch or to Ableton when I got that for production work. I’ve grown to really like the flexible mapping possibilities with Traktor though, even though learning to do it wasn’t the most user friendly experience.

My Dj software is Mixvibes CrossDJ. I heard of it from the review posted earlier this month. Originally used Mixxx and Serato DJ intro, and CrossDJ is more customizable than DJ Intro (obviously), and easier to map than Mixxx. Sound latency is very low with ASIO4ALL, I am running at 1.5ms on Win7 x64.

Definitely recommend, especially at 49$.
