trouble choosing software
trouble choosing software Posted on: 19.09.2013 by Emmitt Belback So since i play at a lounge every friday and saturday i was believeing about changing from ableton to serato. I go down to guitar center to check out a ddj-sx and i see a twitch for 100 dollars used. I believe what the hell its only a hundred and it will give me a feel for serato. So i download itch and i absolutely hate it. The software cant beatgrid for shit, the keylock sounds absolutely terrible and i hate the effects. I like the feel of the ddj-sx but if serato dj is going to be like itch i would rather just save my money for 2 months and get some cdj2000s and a good mixer. Ive never bought top end or pro gear before so im kind of lost or feeling in the dark here. If any serato dj users or cdj2000 owners chime in i would really appreciate it. | |

| Warner Rotberg 20.09.2013 | As Jayvee said. Get a mapping for Traktor and try out Traktor. Think youll enjoy it more =) |
| Alease Fitch 20.09.2013 | I use my Twitch with Traktor all the time, and it's great! Maybe you could try that |
| Merlyn Birchfield 21.09.2013 | Want to sell me that Twitch for the hundred you paid for it? |

| Oretha Afful 20.09.2013 | if you're really worried about beatgridding just get traktor. It handles it WAY better than the CDJ2000s or nexus will. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 20.09.2013 | You can use the SX in any software, but it will only have basic MIDI control in software other than Serato DJ. It's more than enough for home practice though. |
| Petra Arra 20.09.2013 | if you could afford the cdjs, go for it. I'd buy a set in heartbeat if i had that kind of money. |
| Emmitt Belback 20.09.2013 | the other choice is rekordbox with some cdjs. i cant use serato dj yet because my good laptop crashed and im on the backup that cant run serato dj. so im waiting to get it back. ill give traktor and virtual dj a try. i just dont want to spend a grand on a ddj-sx and then regret not saving and getting cdjs instead. this is my first time stepping up to more than a twitch or an apc40 so im just wondering what others would want to buy |
| Petra Arra 19.09.2013 | What's the other choice? i can only see serato as your option. I believe serato itch is now serato dj. so you should have downloaded the serato dj intro instead of the itch to have a feel of the serato dj. why not also try the demo versions of Traktor or Virtual DJ. Its a matter or personal choice really. i had fun using traktor than serato because of the remix decks that's why i have stuck to it. you can use the ddj sx with other programs other than serato. |
