On the other hand, I feel like my mixes are less creative and my technique seems limited by the functionality of using a controller.
I also think it's fun to have FX at my fingertips, be able to sample and loop on a dime, and experiment. I don't really have that much interest in having 4 live decks, but I think it will be a lot of fun to be able to blend 2 tracks easily and sync them, while getting creative with vinyl and scratching.
#Serato scratch live serato dj trial#
I've been playing with a trial version of Serato DJ and just downloaded the latest beta of 1.6 so I can try mixing with 4 decks and use my original S元. Serato Scratch Live has suited my needs so far.įast forward to now, I just bought a cheap controller (Pioneer DDJ-SB) to use for mobile gigs and screwing around at home.

My strength I feel is in song selection, blending, and scratching, so the manual transitions I do don't require FX, samples, loops, or any of that. There's not a whole lot flashy about it, very few bells and whistles, but I don't really care. I still do gigs here and there and bring a crate of vinyl, my laptop, turntables and some control vinyl and it legitimately still feels like I'm using vinyl. And Serato SL worked great for that purpose. I got Serato so I could do the exact same thing, but use all the music I already owned and avoid carrying 200 pounds of records to every gig and draining my bank account. Between the cost of constantly buying new vinyl, the weight of lugging it around, the damage my collectoion was taking and the difficulty in finding the jams, I needed to evolve. I'm curious to see what everyone else thinks.įirst off, I bought an S元 when I saw that I wasn't going to be able to make it as a mobile DJ, club DJ or hiphop DJ using just vinyl. Anyways, I just started using Serato DJ for the first time after using Scratch Live for probably 2 years, and I'm starting to form some opinions of what I like and dislike about each.
I haven't been around for a while so it might be a long-dead topic, so excuse me if that's the case. I didn't see a post anywhere on this topic, so I thought I'd bring it up.
