Also VDJ has key detection built in (which saves you from having to pay for another program) and i can have my track information displayed however i want it. I like to keep my music organized by folder so i can add and remove and move around tracks easily without a separate program which makes backing up easier.

If you are not an itunes user then navigating to songs gets to be a chore and you can’t see all the information. However that same tight integration with itunes is the major issue i have with it. Serato does have great scratch quality and good itunes integration. I’ve tried the big 3 softwares and I personally choose VDJ.

Second is that most controllers are built for either Serato of Traktor, granted you can find mappings for them on virtual DJ, as I did for my Mixtrack Pro II, but it’s just easier and more effective in some cases to use the software that your controller was made for.Īllow me to advocate for VDJ. This doesn’t apply to me but with Traktor and Serato you get easier DVS control which matters alot for some people.

I also find that the effects and filters in VDJ sound fragile/hollow, whereas the Traktor/Serato counterparts sound bery full and high-quality. I also like how Serato has The Bridge, which makes integrating a live performance aspect into your set very easy if you’re an Ableton Live user(which I plan to be).

I like Serato because of how the song information is presented on the virtual deck (Time elapsed, pitch, BPM etc.), the iTunes integration is wonderful and especially now with the new effects pack, you get a very wide range of High-Quality effects and tweakable parameters (Still not the extra long list of effects like in Traktor, but in my opinion, that much effects isnt necessary, but still good to have the option i guess). Well, without getting into the whole Traktor vs. It might not be a Big 2 and Medium 1 market anymore in the future ðŸ™‚ That’s the current trend anyways, who knows what may happen in a few years? Alot of other softwares are coming up and only getting better. That being said, its all nice and philosophical to say “Good DJ’s can use any equipment/software”, but practically speaking, if you plan to actually take your DJ-ing far, use one of the Big 2 (Traktor or Serato) as it will make playing in clubs, or guest gigs much easier. If you can DJ well on Virtual DJ and please an audience then it shouldn’t matter. However in my opinion, virtual DJ doesn’t have very good iTunes compatibility, and I dont like the interface that much. I use virtual DJ because they packed it full of features video mixing, online streaming(if you have a shoutcast server to broadcast from) etc. I use Serato for practice as well as for gigs because I much prefer the interface and effects etc over that of Virtual DJ. When Virtual DJ started out, sure it WAS BAD, therefore it gained a bad reputation.
