djbmc Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I'm lookin at gettin serato for djing, but i only want it for the ability to control mp3s like they're on the vinyl itself. (Things like looping, auto beat matching etc... don't interest me) And for near on £500 that's pretty expensive, however i've just seen a program called Intimidation Touch, which looks pretty much the same, probably has a few less features, has anyone got any experience with it?

spiderman Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 ye ur quite restricted if u just stick to vinyl. anything and everything comes on mp3 these days. not to say vinyl aint still goin strong, but u have a more refined selection as apposed to a mass amount of mp3 files that you could even have downloaded for free.

streets. Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Gotta admit, the standard of DJing in town centres these days is terrible. I'm a fan of technology, and DJs using MP3s/laptops etc don't bother me. Just learn how to f*ck*ng mix them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubby Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I'd go with Traktor, they're a bigger company and more likely to continue support over the years. + you can expand it to 3 or 4 decks if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greens Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Dunno about the Intimidation Touch and the new Tracktor Scratch, but i've got Final Scratch and its nowhere as good as Serato. Would suggest trying them out at a shop and seeing how they perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just learn how to f*ck*ng mix them. i agree since the decline in vinyl, there's been a steady increase of clanging in clubs especially them prolonged clangs where thy don't care they just keep the 2 choons playing not in time and every 1 doesn't know what to dance to.

zeke Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 i only want it for the ability to control mp3s like they're on the vinyl itself. (Things like looping, auto beat matching etc... don't interest me) If this is the only thing you want it for (i.e. like me to jus digitize ur music collection, but still use vinyl) then not buyin serato is like buyin decks and not buyin technics. Plus since the SL3 came out, you can probably get the old serato SL1 (which will be ideal for what you want to do) for about £250 on ebay or somewhere. Id even buy it second hand if your not doin clubs on a regs and its just for home use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Brooks Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Serato is good. It has three modes, one of them is on the laptop mixing, another is using the turntables but without skipping needles and having the ability to put the needle anywhere on the vinyl but the track be in its same place, and the last most (abs) which is exactly the same as vinyl. / I agree with streets about the levels being rubbish. This is because these people you hear, do not care about their skills and only care about being "the man" when infact they are not. It is worth every money (I have recently bought it and cannot rate it enough. Tracktor scratch is probably the closest but there is a reason why majority of the top djs and turntablist have serato... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_barz Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 by the way, if u deal with at least half decent soundsystem where u playin at, anything less than the new serato would be a disgrace. or just avoid playing with real, vinyl djs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
