![]() VirtualDJ Supports more controller options than Traktor Although ID3 tags may be more convenient for some, those that use folders, file naming and playlist techniques to organize their library are just as effective. The way a user organizes his collection is his personal preference. Heck, as you know VDJ even has a Traktor skin if you just can't get away from that Traktor look. The wide array of available VDJ Skins leaves Traktor way behind in this category. From what I know, Traktor has no provision for the user to easily modify fonts. VirtualDJ fonts are completely customizable and easy to modify. I would like to respond to all of the points stated by Wireless as follows. I still like VirtualDJ better than traktor but both of them have their positive and negative points. Traktor has a record case player to preview the track before loading to a deck Traktor supports explorer based record case as well as ability to LOAD and save playlists Traktor has better master tempo quality than VirtualDJ and has three levels (low, medium, high) Traktor is 100% stable, VirtualDJ crashed on us once ![]() Traktor scratching is limited and does not sound as realistic as VirtualDJ Traktor has NO Skins at all, VirtualDJ has many skins Traktor Can not use effects like VirtualDJ VirtualDJ Supports more controller options than traktor ![]() This is a big deal since he has all of his collection organized with genre, album, year, etc. VirtualDJ record case does not support ID3 tags. VirtualDJ font is too small on the record case and skins I brought my VirtualDJ rig to the club for him to try The following are obervations noted by a DJ friend of mine who is a traktorDJ user. Mobile DJs: Would you advise DJ Malarkey to steer his DJs towards one type of software? What software do you use? Why? Any advice would be very welcome in the comments.At the club tonight we used both VirtualDJ and traktorDJ side by side. Traktor Pro is really overkill for simple mobile use, being unneccessarily complex for this style of DJing (although Traktor LE isn’t) but Serato ITCH might appeal because there are some good hardware / software combinations available including the rack-mounted Denon DN-HC5000, for easy plug and play. But it’s true that for mobile DJ use, other factors rather than great effects or powerful sample decks take precedence – like ease of use, library controls, automations functions and so on.įor mobile DJs who want to beatmix, Virtual DJ seems the most popular, perhaps because it is easy to use, powerful, and it doesn’t have the same stigma in mobile circles as is sometimes attached to it by electronic dance music DJs. For non-mixing DJs, MegaSeg and PCDJ Red have their fans due to their automation functions, simpler controls and compatibility with rack-mounted DJ controllers. If they’re comfortable and competent with what they use, why ask them to change? However, if you are providing the gear, it makes sense to standardise. Unless you’re providing the gear, I think I agree with you – let them use what they want. Do you feel the same way, and what are your suggestions and opinions with regards to software and the mobile DJ?” Digital DJ Tips says: Reader DJ Malarkey writes: “I have been a DJ since 1983 (you can imagine □ ) and now as a mobile DJing business owner I ask my DJs what software they like to use (since all of them use laptops for their shows). They all like something different, and that’s OK to me – I am a ‘whatever works for you’ kind of guy. PCDJ’s OOVJ video DJing system costs thousands… but what is the best mainstream DJ software for mobile?
