I don't regret it at all. I really suggest downloading the Traktor 3 demo. It's full featured, you just have to close it and re-open it every half hour. It also saves all of your beatgrids (which are far more accurate and easier than VDJ) even though you are still using the demo. Do what I did; use the demo to practice and make your beatgrids, then pay for the full version later as your mixes get better and you get sick of restarting every half hour. I also bought the Traktor 3 DVD tutorial. It is very helpful, but try to find it used, cause once you get that stuff down, you will no longer need it. Hope this helps anyone out there. |

| Random X 19.05.2008 | Still wresting with that? |
| Xavier Emanuels 19.05.2008 | I am personally dieing to make the change to Deckadance, but i am still waiting for the day i can have as much control over the midi assignments as i like. + more cue points is essential :| |

| Santi Taos 15.04.2008 | cant believe i am the only one so far using ssl. slowly picking up ableton and my g4 powerbook doesnt meet the minimum for traktor. |

| Ashirumatic DJ 14.04.2008 | Traktor 2.2 and Traktor 3.1 w/ Final Scratch Reaktor 5 Ablton Live 6 and 7 Fruityloops Dekadance Reason Acid 4 Soundforge 7 and Various Midi translators for controllers etc... all of which I am at the bottom of the learning curve for. Yet I have been nose deep in each programs manual. |

Altough I can usually grid a track well enough live while other track is playing if needs be. |
| Dj Daxsen 04.04.2008 | Hmm i believe VirtualDJ should be on there, as its also sold as CUE if im not mistaken. I first began with Deckadance, but have been disappointed with the key lock and thus moved to virtualdj, if deckandance get their keylock worked out ill be back on it for sure. In the mean time i believe im going to have to get my head around Tractor, it just seems a bit over-featured if you know what i mean. |
| Dj Gjaka 02.04.2008 | Question to those of you using Ableton to DJ: Does it work on a (somewhat) regular method of syncing two tracks up [one playing, one cued] or does it all rely on having your tracks gridded so that they sync on their own? |
| DiscJoker aka GP 02.04.2008 | I use ableton live 6 |
| sdfsg dsfgsdg 01.04.2008 | I'm Running Traktor 3.2.2 and also have been experimenting with different ways of running Ableton Live 7 alongside Traktor. |
| Random X 01.04.2008 | Will look into that one. Thanks mate! |
| Xavier Emanuels 01.04.2008 | I am in a few minds about the delivery methods of getting my audio into Ableton, Deckadance isnt quite cutting it for me even if it has VST client support - though deckadance is a piece of software i have a very close and keen eye on. So recently i've switched over to a Ableton only setup for some experimentation, I will also give Traktor a go with the Virtual Audio Cable software and see how i go routing the audio into Ableton. Ive also started using the smart mixer setup using only Ableton Live devices and found it to use much less processing power while also having a much cleaner user interface. While i have found Moldovers Reaktor very interesting and its given me a lot of ideas for what i can do with my own setup, though i don't believe i will continue to use the Reaktor files. |
| Random X 01.04.2008 | Still using Ableton (mouse/keyboard only! ), the open source dj tool mixxx or regular vinyl (2x SL1200). However I am looking out for an all new MIDI setup. Might stick to Ableton though. |
| Destan Lee 31.03.2008 | Virtual Dj. By far one of the best yet least respected software alternatives out there. I started with Mixmeister, Otsturntable, Acid, PCDJ, but in the end, Virtual Dj was the most stable. Their community is quick to respond to my needs and the software works if you take the time to get your machine up to par. Still don't know why so many folks sleep or hate on the software. They had video mixing way before serato or some others. |
| Roberto Viccione 31.03.2008 | I use Traktor for all of it. I'd like to get involved with Ableton Live, but between money and the desire to still get everything out of Traktor I can I believe it'll wait. :-) |
| robert chanda 31.03.2008 | Started with Virtual Turntables (VTT) some 10 years ago! http://www.carrotinnovations.com/ I got so fast doing beatmatching and syncing that I could mix from a single output and nobody would notice. Even made my own skins for the thing. Ten years on and people still call you an idiot for using mixing digitally - good job the revolution has finally caught us up. |
| mohammed farhan 31.03.2008 | Traktor 3.2 all the way, Im sure we can figure out a way to extract all the milk from this cow. |
| Andre Ordonez 31.03.2008 | Years ago I used deejaysystem a lightweight but powerfull and stable software. Then I discovered traktor studio 1 and I never left it traktor was different from the others.. different from the awful mixvibes 2.24 or pcdj.. or the worst.. the atomix mp3.. About Virtualdj... I tried once and after I played with high/mid/low knobs I remove it from Pc.. Virtualdj don't sound good even with a good soundcard. |
| Samy Jarrar 31.03.2008 | When I decided to move away from vinyl & cd to computer DJ-ing, I started with Ableton Live as I felt it was more "Future DJ" than Traktor, but then Native Instruments had a superb promotion some time ago so I bought Traktor as well and now I use Traktor while I |
