    Mix in key and classify the rhythm of the songs and add a comment to the tags

    Hi! is good to learn to beatmatch but there’s nothing wrong with using the sync. Is good to have an inspiration but don’t let it be your purpose. As for your track can’t comment if can’t find it

    If the DDJ Tx comes out it still will be a non NI product. Same problems with mapping as every other control out there.

And on the traktor site it gives a whole bunch of mixers that are “scratch certified”. They run $1300-1700. Those just have time code recognition so you don’t need an interface right?

    If you’re going with Traktor, nothing better than the Kontrol Z2 $899.00

    You can still use Sony Acid, I prefer FL Studio at home and Ableton for live performance.

    For mix and DJ the best you can do is look at the feature of the software to which one suite you best. I like Traktor
    for EDM parties but use Serato for weddings and VideoDJ.

    Serato intro is, well intro. If you want full advantage you need Serato DJ

I’ve always had a passion for electronic music, and since I constantly have these tunes in my head, I figured I’d go ahead and learn how to get them down into something tangible to please myself and others. I’m looking to make some house, maybe eclectic-techno… I have a good singing voice, albeit bizarre, so I plan on implementing my voice into the music with my own lyrics and shit. I’m looking to meet some young people around the world who also plan on doing their own unique thing with DJing so follow me, shoot me a message, and let’s get to know each other.! Deuces, party people.

    Welcome to the forum, when you get some tune let me know.

    For one, no serious PA system has a loudness button, so pretty hard to switch something on that isn’t there.

    No it’s not there anymore, it been replace by the EQ knobs

    I know what mean,I like Traktor better but I started doing mobile again by demand, DJ’s around here S**Ks not only with the regular dance, wedding and so on music but latin music the worst (most of them use VDJ auto play list) and there’s a big latin community here.

    Two month ago I mess up my laptop (my fault I lost all my back ups) with a software called Alchemist it sync your music desktop folders with Serato (and now Traktor) so when you get a new song it auto sync with Serato.

    Now I’m redoing all my songs but I’m going to use Serato only for weddings and VDJing. and back with Traktor for all other gigs. Also trade my NS6 for a TMX4

    This is an example how I have my play list:

    EDM
    house
    progressive
    techno
    trance and so on..
    Decades
    40’s
    50’s
    60’s and so on…
    Wedding
    dance
    ballads
    rock
    counrty
    latin

    It’s depend on the amp. Don’t know how it’s called now but looooong time ago was call LOUDNESS (my first amp which i still own have this) For some reason is opposite, when is on you get a nice tight bass, when is off is louder but with that rumble.

    I have 4 – 12” caps 500 rms each and 2 18” subs 1200 rms each and no rumble, usually I only need 2 caps and 1 sub.

    Another vote for the 6000 but you said that you mix all kind of genres.

    I used to have the 6000 with Traktor doing club gigs but started doing mobile gigs again that’s when I switch to Serato just because of the elastic beatgriding.

    Depend what you call all kind of genres, I do all kind of genres and needed Serato for the latin music. Yes I mix salsa, merengue, cumbia and all latin genres

    What Chuck said plus being master-slave if the master goes out you have no sound at all.

    Agree with Chuck and the MC 6000, used to play with it and Traktor when I was doing club only (electronic music)

    Last years started doing mobile again and need it the elastic beatgriding of Serato (I play a lot of latin music) I choose the TMX4 because Serato Dj was going to be available for it.

    Now that is available for the VCI 400 you can’t go wrong with any of this controller, all depend in your software preference.
