#Rekordbox vs serato vs traktor reddit plus#

Its just that it feels a little bit more primitive and basic. Im not saying that Seratos user interface is ugly. Serato, on the other hand, feels a little bit different. It feels really technologic and state-of-the-art, and many DJs opine the same. If you do make the step right away, library management wise you will step into Valhalla compared to the others major names due to features like, related tracks, suggested playlist, MyTags, Cloud Library sync, Mobile app preparation. The Rekordbox DJ user interface just feels modern. And there will always be a moment that you can make the switch. If not, you can still use Traktor with CDJs (not the 3000 though) in HID mode. Since then Traktor has stopped working with 3rd party manufacturers of controllers and is more and more focusing on their own eco-system. I personally would say, stay with Traktor as they're finally implementing things they lacked for years (smart playlist, streaming). As for Traktor, the reason there are a lot of non-NI controllers on Traktor still is because in the early days a few years ago Serato was a VERY closed system and Traktor was sold with many non-NI controllers. However without a subscription you can still do great things. So with RB6 you will need a subscription for some of the additional functions, though some are unlocked when having the right hardware, like the XP2 for DVS.

sadly with the release of Rekordbox 6 plus packs such as DVS can't be purchased anymore for RB5.

Near the end of the 5.x branch they introduced hardware unlocked with RB5.

At the time 'hardware unlocked' wasn't a thing. Started with a DDJ-1000 which was a very good pick. However, I have found that it is way less. I made the switch from Traktor to Rekordbox 3 years ago and haven't looked back. Traktor has a lot more functionality, and you can customize it to your needs much more than you can with Serato.
