![]() If you are playing your own music you won't need to get too creative because people probably are more interested in hearing the unaltered original material rather than a mash-up or remixes, which you might as well prepare in advance in the studio. If you are just worried about being club-compatible, CDJs are pretty easy to learn TBH, if you watch a few Tutorials, download the user manual and watch a few videos of DJs using them in a set you'll have the basics down within half an hour, especially if you have experience in other platforms. If you need to gig at a club, you can alwasy prepare your playlists in Rekordbox which you can download for free-again it'll be a relatively small library so the hassle of having to keep two separate libraries should be bearable. An all-in-one 4-channel Traktor S4mk3 is considerably smaller than a comparable Rekordbox controller such as the DDJ-1000 which not only is ginormous but also costs a lot more $. In other words, library management is not an issue. ![]() If you are a producer and mainly play your own music, then I'd say Traktor is the better option, because your repertoire will be limited to a small curated collection of your own original material. I'm not sure what they don't do that (there are independently developed apps already available, though only for Mac.). That would automatically eat a huge chunk of Pioneer's DJ controller market. The smartest thing NI and frankly any DJ gear manufacturer is to provide a free RB conversion tool. Rekordbox on the other hand is relevant now because it's club-standard compatible and it offers the best collection management tools, hands down-way better than Traktor. I think it'll be a year before NI starts to be relevant again. For DJs who have been DJing for years and have spent hundreds if not thousands of hours tagging, bit-gridding and setting hotcues the prospect of switching to a different platform is daunting.Īnyway, so NI recently fired 20% of their workforce and promised good stuff ahead without giving any details. If Pioneer adds a tool within Rekordbox to import Serato libraries, I can imagine a lot of DJs would jump ship. Personally I would not want to use Serato if I was new to DJing. ATM Pioneer continue to release Serato controllers but as you can imagine the moment Rekordbox starts winning Pioneer are going to close the tap. Pioneer is trying to perhaps not replace but certainly grab a chunk of Serato's market with Rekordbox. ![]()
