Topic: Why virtual dj is better than serato dj and why i am going to switch soon - Page: 2

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I have all three and VDJ is the one i use most. My son who is djn now has been brainwashed by the traktor and serato users that VDJ is not professional. So i let him have that idea and after three years he has told me he hates traktor and he wants to get serato. So i let him use my serato at one of his gigs and he hates Serato. So i suggested he use VDJ and i told him to keep using his traktor and when he is ready he can get VDJ i let him know i will pay half the price for him. When 8 gets here i will show him again and let him spin a little at the house when he is home from college. I know he will wake up and realize which software gives him the most versatility. I think its all user choice and i choose the most stable, the best supported, and the most versatile of them all - VDJ. I have also learned that most issues with VDJ are largely user initiated, not software. Go make em dance.

No need to make comparisons or go on about which is best, use them all as and when.


That right there pretty much sums it up.

When I use my turntables or CDJ at a gig, its Serato
If I am using my controllers or doing video, its VDJ
If I want to re-work a track its Ableton.

Right tool for the job.

 
I just dont want to use different softwares... i want virtualdj to cover me in all aspects except production. I want those red labels to spin when i eat up and serato user....but thats just the competitive dj in me. I dont even want to use serato vinyl.
 
I totally agree with the OP.

I tried their software and wasn't satisfied with their BPM detection. I use the Mixmeister BPM Analyzer, it's free and it does a wonderful with VDJ.

I also can't stand their skin.

VDJ is much more convenient for me than all the other dedicated-hardware software companies like Traktor and Serato.
 
one more thing about traktor i found that about auto gain does not working + wave forms if you are moving gain knob waveforms staying the same witch give you poor vision of your waves i heard some people got to use mp3 normalizer i dont wanna 3 programs to control to normalize all ,that it's a big job Virtual dj is the answer to all and the best !!!

well now my 2cents: 1st i was DJing with numark NS7 using itch (crashing all the tyme) so i bought VDJ Pro 7 (no crash's at all) then Serato DJ came out so i installed that on my NS7 (10 tymes the problems over itch) sold my NS7 & bought 2 Denon Sc 3900's & American Audio 14MXR (i wanted the more traditional players each side with mixer in the middle) anyhoo now i have VDJ 7 & VDJ 8 on my lappy and no, None, Nada Serato anything on my laptop & thats just the way i like it.
 
Many DJ's go for serento for one reason, its cheaper. I will be straight out, serento is a bit striped down, also the smapler rate is lower, no radio server supprot to broadcast live events, IT DOES NOT supprot all the devices at same time that VDJ will, I often use 4 decks at the same time, 2 are turntables, effects deck and video deck. You will not be able to do that with serento.

Other thing. the NUmark and pioneer motrized decks have issues with serento when motrized drives spins. It is flawless with VDJ, serento needs to learn to fix their bugs and not sit on it, it still has not been addressed. You get what you pay for. Serento is the cheaper include it in higher priced decks alternative. LE soft all around at its highest mark.

Amore im with you ... i do not supprot serento !
 
Serento huh? never tried it
 
An Italian cheese.

Please show me where/when Serato has done this?
Because I don't think they do.

I went back 7-8 releases in there release notes, and there is really nothing new with DVS

Because there is no need anymore
DVS is like the light-bulb. It's very old technology that simply works

It's been done and refined a long time ago, and Serato, VDJ and all the others simply include/implements the std way of doing it
That also means that it's no longer a competitive parameter for DJ SW

It's like whare DDJT said when reviewing Rekordbox DVS that was released not too long ago

"Rekordbox DVS works as expected - I was able to scratch and spin using the timecode vinyl with precision... Like other DVS through the years, Rekordbox DVS has Relative and Absolute modes... " and so on

As expected. Nothing new here. The same as all the others. Simply works
 
Function of relocate files in play list VDJ kills it all! The best of best..............

EDIT: I've removed most of my answer, since that may just set you off even more
I'm dismissing myself from this discussion now.
Se below for suggestions
Best of luck

The devs have tested your claim, and they can't reproduce it (as you can read in the other thread)
So it still looks like it's something on your setup
But the devs still want to help you. So please continue in that thread and give them what they need so they can help you specifically

This is from the other thread:

"Everyone of the team tested timecode but couldn't find anything wrong, so we will need some recordings at least to understand better what to look for or how to fix it."

kinda pointless topic on this forum..........

everyone here uses VDJ or why else would you even be here?
 
When I first came here I downloaded Serato DJ to test it. It was getting some positive comments from some of the guys etc. I ran the program and could not believe anyone really liked it. Now I don't DJ and can't say anything about that aspect of it but hands down VDJ7 was way above in my opinion. I don't collect brownie points etc. Since then I have tested it about once per year. Still junk from my point of view and VDJ8 way above.
