If you aren’t as precise as you’d want to be, you’d be pleased to know that there’s also a quantise function as well to make sure you trigger those cue points on time, every time

#SERATO DJ 1.9.6 VERSUS TRAKTOR PRO 2 FULL#
Lots of FX built in, but if you want the full suite you’re going to have to buy the rest.
#SERATO DJ 1.9.6 VERSUS TRAKTOR PRO 2 SOFTWARE#
Just like in-app purchases, Serato offers extra FX at an extra cost (US$49 for the all in bundle), radically different from Traktor’s FX that have always come free with their software updates Serato DJ has a ton of FX, but… – you’d have to buy the rest as expansion packs.It’s not a deal breaker for sure, but you may prefer one over the other Scratching sounds slightly different on either software – As both software use their own algorithms for determining how your audio files are reproduced when you scratch with your controller or DVS, they do sound a tad different in this aspect.

This one shows the Tempo Matching Display (red and gold waveforms on top of the screen) as well as the Beat Matching Display, which are quite handy. Serato DJ has four ways to view your waveforms depending on your preference. Regardless, Serato DJ presents significantly more waveform data about your music than Traktor Aside from the main waveform display, there are two more called the Beat Matching Display and Tempo Matching Display, which makes it even easier to beat match visually (the caveat of which is the now infamous Serato face).

You may not be able to transfer your cue points, but at least you’ll have your folders intact! There exists some programs such as ScratchTools, but there’s a lot of command line work and it’s a relatively complex job to get done, not to mention that the site looks like it was stuck in 1999. As we regularly suggest to our readers, use iTunes to organise all your DJ music.
