One last note is that many Serato DJ effects seemed to have a nice FX trail after turning off the effect.

This is also possible in Traktor Pro 2 by assigning all the decks to the same FX unit but it’s nice having a dedicated master option. So any track coming out of the master output will be effected. The effects units in Serato DJ can be assigned to the Master channel. The BPM for the effect unit can also be tapped in manually, this makes it a great tool for BPM transitions. By default the effects will sync to the track BPM. It’s also possible to have dotted and triplet counts to get some swung variations. Similar to Traktor there’s no parameter indication for knobs in Multi FX mode.īoth Single and Multi FX mode include a beat multiplier so DJs can adjust the timing and rhythm of the effect.
Rather the knobs for each effect loaded in Multi FX mode controls the FX Depth. In Single mode the first knob always acts as a dry/wet, with 2 more knobs and buttons for FX parameter control. Multi FX mode has no dry/wet control for the overall effect unit. The FX controls are slightly different in Serato DJ. This makes it look like there are more effects in Serato DJ when really some effects appear twice for the different FX modes. Single and Multi FX also appear as 2 separate effects, for example there is a Single effect for Echo and Multi effect for Echo. Some FX are only available in one mode or the other. These modes are similar to Traktor’s “Single” and “Group” modes. A major difference in Serato DJ is that all the effects aren’t switchable between Single and Multi FX mode. DJ-FX can be controlled in Single FX or Multi FX mode. Serato DJ has a similar FX setup to Traktor. Serato DJ FX modes: Single FX or Multi FX Lastly all the effect units have a dedicated dry/wet knob for controlling the overall FX signal/mix both in single and group mode. The only way to find out what each knob is controlling is to read about the FX parameters in the Traktor manual. For example Delay will display the delay rate in fractions of bars (1/2, 1/4, 1/8 etc.) but the Reverb will only display a percentage value. One issue with Traktor is that not all FX in group mode indicate the parameter that is being controlled. Each effect feeds into the next, allowing for unique combinations. The FX parameter changes depending on which effect is loaded. Group mode allows DJs to load up to 3 FX in a chain with one adjustable parameter for each effect.
The parameters vary slightly from effect to effect. Single mode lets DJs choose one effect with 3 adjustable knob parameters and buttons – filter, feedback, and rate in the case of the Delay effect. In Traktor Pro 2 all effects (with the exception of Macro fx) can be toggled between “Single” or “Group”.
Serato DJ and Traktor Pro 2 have a very similar FX setup and workflow. What about FX? Is one truly better than the other? Today we’re going to take an indepth look at the similarities and differences of the FX and FX units in Traktor Pro 2 and Serato DJ.įX Control & Modes Traktor Pro 2 FX Modes: Group or Single Both programs have several unique features that sets them apart such as video mixing in Serato DJ or Traktor’s deep midi mapping capabilities. But Novation Dicers are much more popular.Serato DJ or Traktor Pro 2? It’s a common question that comes up a lot in the DJ community. I use a DJ-Tech CTRL (DVS MIDI controller) with Serato. Now I almost always use real vinyl and on the occasions when I do play digital-tracks I use SSL1 (Serato Scratch Live). Playing with the effects and the trigger pads is fun at first but like most new video games once the novelty wears off I find myself using it less and less. Myself personally I almost never use my (Pioneer DDJ-SR) DJ controller anymore. Pioneer DDJ-SX2 With DVS Turntable Hook Up
#PIONEERS VS SERATO VS TRAKTOR SOFTWARE#
This would give you the option of scratching on your Technics and the ability to control your software with the controller.Ī used Pioneer DDJ-SX would be a good cheap option in my opinion. Now what do controllers do? Do I need them if I buy a Mixer like the 450? Would I need that if I went with my current mixers or Older style non DVS Mixer? Thank you for all the help it is like I am starting from scratch, Things are so different.Since you already have four Technics turntables and you are going to be scratching a DVS is your best option in my opinion.īut you could plug two of your turntables into a controller.
