djing software

   

wats the best dj'ing software out there, i know of ableton as reccomended by a friend, and i know alot of people use tracktor, was wondering what people thort of different softwares, wat do you recommend?

Native Instruments Traktor is dj mixing software while Ableton Live is more production software.

Traktor works like a twin CD deck on your PC and works like so.
Live is studio orientated and works with blocks to say it i a very simple way. Live syncs BPM automatically so beatmatching is not one of your tasks. You can live remix tracks by adding layers with breakbeats etc to playing tracks.

Live can also be used in another mode so it can be used for productions and remixes.

If you want to DJ : Traktor, if you want to produce : Live.

thanks.. production is something i want to go into and Live sounds like the best option

I use both, traktor for dj'ing (traktor scratch btw) and ableton for producing,

NielsR, can you tell me more about Traktor Scratch. Are you using it for live mixing, or just at home for a mixtape.?

can you get tractor for the mac?

yes offcourse..

sorry but my computer literacy is not a sharp as most Is it the best prog or would you use something else

I use Pioneer DJs with 2 soundcards cause I haven't CD Players nowadays

Nice list, I wonder why they didn't include Rekordbox software though ?

It's around for 7 years now and would suspect it in that list at some spot.
