Benefits of Traktor: am I a fool?
I have always used Pioneer hardware with vinyl and cdjs. Help me understand the benefits of traktor over record box and serato, etc.
Problem: I already bought traktor when I got my MacBook. I run an S4. I got it several years ago, and prices seems cheaper than a comparable Pioneer setup; obviously when we’re talking djm, and cdj stand alones, and also many all in one digital set ups. Shortly after my purchase, I found a similar Pioneer controller for a comparable price. Again, this was a few years ago.
Can someone give me the pros of running Traktor? It seems like no one really uses it professionally and I’ve always wondered why Pioneer is the ‘industry standard.’
I’m a fool for not looking into it deeper, but in my defense I really didn’t know anything about digital djing. Can someone give me some tips and tricks that make Traktor stand out? I would also love a link to learn about creating stems and incorporating loops with them to extend intros, killing vocals or annoying melodies and the like.
I subscribe to Apple Music and just found out that they support basically everything except Traktor. That was really shitty.
Constructive criticism only please, I know i fucked buying a program I wasn’t familiar with. Anyway, thank you for any advice you could lend me.
Thank you all and happy djing.
