The US$99 price simply gives you the full Traktor experience
No need to buy FX packs and other add-ons – If you’ve invested quite a bit in Serato DJ’s optional FX packs and plug-ins like video, you’ll be happy to know that you don’t need to spend an extra dime once you’ve purchased Traktor Pro 2. #SERATO VS TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO HOW TO#
Check out this article about organisation essentials for DJs, and also how to maintain your iTunes library for Traktor use
Your Serato library isn’t compatible with Traktor – Again, we strongly recommend using iTunes to organise your library. Traktor’s Controller Mapping Screen: Definitely not the most user friendly interface, but once you get to grips with it you’re rewarded with a trove of customisable controls and complex macros, all yours for the taking! There are books that go into detail about how to take full advantage of Traktor’s Midi programming (Traktor Bible is one), and there are also programs like Xtreme Mapping that make Midi mapping less of a chore …but Traktor Midi mapping is more powerful and comprehensive – Fancy creating sophisticated FX macros that manipulate audio with a single turn of your DJ controller knob? Want greater control of visual LED feedback on your DJ controller? Want to map jogwheels? Traktor can definitely do all that and more, as what it lacks in mapping simplicity it makes up for in controller programming depth. #SERATO VS TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO DOWNLOAD#
Of course you could download pre-made mappings online (there are tons to choose from), but there’s something to be said about making your own custom maps, and Serato excels at making Midi mapping a simple task Contrast this to the menu-driven and rather clunky Midi mapping in Traktor, and you’ll find why mapping is a bit of a hurdle for digital DJs who want to get into custom controller maps. Midi mapping is more complicated in Traktor than in Serato DJ… – Customising your Midi controller’s interaction with Serato DJ is as simple as clicking the Midi button on the main Serato DJ screen and then moving that fader/pressing that button/twisting that knob, kind of like a “Midi Learn” function in most Digital Audio Workstation software.

It isn’t a powerful integrated solution like Serato Video, but for basic visual playback it’ll do You can’t VJ with Traktor, but… – Not, it’s true that you can’t video DJ with Traktor, but you can use a third party app like the ILOVEQC Live FX Mixer that uses Traktor’s Midi output to sync visuals during your DJ set. Traktor Pro lets you use any controller imaginable, just so long as it sends Midi data. (You do need a Traktor-certified device for DVS use, though.) Though you could practically DJ with just your laptop and a splitter cable, you’d most probably want to use a controller of some sort, and personally I think the best thing about Traktor is that you can use it with just about any controller, even if it wasn’t designed for DJing. 
You don’t need a Traktor-ready sound card/DJ controller to use Traktor – One of the biggest differences between Serato DJ and Traktor is the fact that you don’t need a Traktor-certified controller or audio interface to run it in its full-featured glory. Now for the sake of fairness and completeness, we’re switching it up and listing 10 things Serato users need to know before they crossover to Native Instruments’ Traktor Pro software. 
In the last article like this, we took a look at things you needed to know when making the jump from Traktor Pro to Serato DJ. Are you a long-time Serato user thinking about switch to Traktor or using it alongside Serato? We list 10 things it’s good to know when using Traktor for the first time.
