What is the best DJ software on Mac?

morespace54 · Oct 16th, 2008, 04:08 PM

Hello, I was wandering what is the best DJ software on Mac. I know about Traktor and VDJ but which one do you prefer? And which other software are available?
Thank you for your input.

(It would be even better if you had a first-hand experience with the software

)

For sure for sure, have a good look at Torq. Its a great hardware/software solution that I have been using for a while now.

I prefer Serato... by Rane. It allowed me to interface with my mac and my decks, with no problems at all. You get a real hands on old school vinyl feel, but playing all your favourite digital tracks. It also interfaces with CDJ equipment. With Serato's free program upgrades you get constant support as well as new features.

I didn't knew about Serato. Thanks!
I would use it with a midi controller mainly (for now)...

For use with a midi I'd say vdj or check out torq. They would suit u untill u move up to cdjs and a mixer

Thanks again. I might go with VDJ since Torq, if I'm not mistaken, seems to be working best with m-audio gear...

I use Serato too - like the hands-on old school vinyl feel

Most of our DJ clients use Serato - one nice aspect is it seems to be tolerant of older machines so latest and greatest not required.
