OK so I’m in the same boat with maybe a few more $s. The Mixtrack Pro gets the good wrap but I’m wondering if the Traktor I mentioned in my ‘Hello’ post is worth the extra $100 or so. ( from the same online store here in Aust, by the time I have upgraded the software.)
I’m guessing the software is a very big part of the choice of controllers, though I may be way off the track.
I have my first DJ gig lined up already, at the local boat club of which I am a member, at Easter, so it would be good to make some choices and get into practicing, learning the ropes and putting a set together. I mentioned controllerism, Live9 and push in my post, but concider DJing and controllerism to be way seperate things atm. Though I may try to mix them at appropriate venues, down the track.
The main feature I would be looking for in a controller is a built in sound card with the ability to preview and cue tracks on headphones without interupting the signal to the PA.
I gues the crux of my question is primarilly Tracktor Pro 2.5 or Serato DJ.
OK so I just did the obvious and googled that question. (God I love the internet)
Stable and easy to learn gets my vote. Should blend in well with live9 and Push too. Maybe Serato on my old PC laptop and Live on a new Macbook pro, both through a small mixer into PA.
Would love some feedback on my choices though and depending on that, I’ll put an order in a a few days.
Cheers Steve.
PS I think I may be radically different and DJ under my real name.
