Since the new release of Traktor 2.5.1 DJ’s have been able to connect their CDJ 900’s or CDJ 2000’s directly to Traktor without the need for an Audio Interface. The video below from Pioneer is doing the rounds right now in DJ land, creating a buzz for the two main players in the DJ world. I think this could be the final nail in the coffin for Serato.
Raine carried Serato for some time there and still does to a very large extent, but this integration with CDJ’s is a blessing for many. The hassle of cable switching and hovering dangerously close to another DJ’s setup has been somewhat diminished by this marriage of two great products. The only thing standing in the way of most of us everyday normal DJ’s and one of these compatible CDJ’s is the price tag.
