Serato Traktor Virtual DJ rekordbox the Best One Is!

0:01 Serato, Rekordbox, Traktor, VirtualDJ

Serato, Rekordbox, Traktor, VirtualDJ. Which is the best one? This video is the video that will tell you which one is by far the best DJ program of all time. To be quite honest, it's none of them and it's all of them. Let me give you an analogy first of all. I love analogies. An ice cream parlour. And that ice cream parlour is selling homemade ice cream. They've made that ice cream in the same building. They spent time, love and affection to put that ice cream together. On the counter there are different sauces. Now the family have spent generations making those sauces complement their ice cream. The sauces could be used with other ice cream. But it's going to taste better because they understand the ingredients of the sauce and the ice cream. They're like peas in a pod, they work together. Now that analogy is exactly the same for DJ Kit. For example, Denon may bring out something, a piece of kit, and their software will work with the piece of kit. That's what it's meant for. Pioneer.

1:35 Firstly bear that in mind

Bring out something. And that item works with their software. So what I'm trying to say here, first of all, is that it's a bit like a hand in a glove. A company is going to make a piece of hardware that by all rights should complement 110% the software that they make as well. So firstly bear that in mind. So for example if you're going to buy a piece of Pioneer kit I would advise you to use the rekordbox software because that's what it sort of meant for. Unless, of course, you're buying old Pioneer kit prior to rekordbox. Now a lot of people are let's say using Serato and they ask me should I use Traktor? Should I use rekordbox? Well, to be quite honest, here's the definitive answer to which software is the best. They're all good.

2:56 There's a cow eating grass

They all do the job. They are all exactly how they should be for you. So if you're using rekordbox and you're used to it, and you look over the fence at some other DJ who's using Serato and think, that looks brilliant, should I use that? Then don't be a bloody idiot. Stick to rekordbox. Another analogy for you. Imagine a cow in a field looking at the other cow in a field who's eating beautiful green grass. That cow thinks, oh that grass looks really green. I want to eat that grass. And this cow here looks into that field. There's a cow eating grass. That grass looks fantastic. I want to eat that grass. And then the cow in this field is looking over there at the first cow thinking, that grass looks green as well. It always looks greener on the other side.

So if you think about it, by definition, if you're used to the program you're using and it works for you, then why start and learn something else and go through all the rigmarole of changing programs and changing folders and files? If you're used to something, stick to it. Because they're all good. Do you know why they're good? Here's the reason. And this is in a way the cherry on the top. Because they're still here. They're still running and they're still going because if those programs, the companies stopped working or they're no longer around then that should tell you that they haven't done a good job and maybe they... You shouldn't be using them but they're still here. They are still at the top, at the pinnacle of the DJ industry and they're doing a damn good job so you know what? If you're using Traktor

Stick to it. If you like rekordbox, go for it. If you like VirtualDJ, thumbs up. If you like Serato, Traktor, Rekordbox, VirtualDJ, thumbs up to them all because they're all doing a damn good bloody job. So stick to it, don't change. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
