It has special integration for newer Pioneer DJ mixers as well that have the USB Send/Return feature such as the DJM-450. REKORDBOX PARA DJ SERATO VS TRAKTOR SOFTWAREMore interesting is the RMX-1000 app for the iPad, which is a software emulation of the RMX-1000 hardware. REKORDBOX PARA DJ SERATO VS TRAKTOR FOR ANDROIDRekordbox DJ users have two choices: the Rekordbox app for Android and iOS let you manage songs stored on your smart device for playback on network-enabled devices like CDJs or XDJs, but it is hardly essential. It’s been around for a few years now and is in need of an update, though, and unless you’re using a very basic Serato DJ controller, it’ll be quite redundant in your set-up. Users of Serato DJ have the option to use Serato Remote, which is an app that can be used to control effects and hot cues. Rekordbox DJ: Rekordbox app, RMX-1000 for iPad For the effects-hungry, the aforementioned Pad FX feature really is useful – I find that I use these more than the standard “button and knob” effects section on my DDJ-RZ. Rekordbox DJ has a feature called Sequencer, which lets you record passages of audio coming from the Sampler for playback. REKORDBOX PARA DJ SERATO VS TRAKTOR SERIESSerato Flip, which is an older add-on, lets you record a series of cue point presses for playback, to create your own replayable re-edits. Serato DJ added the Pitch Play feature recently, which lets you shift the musical key of hot cues that you’ve assigned for some cue point tone play. There are even special edition 7″ Serato DJ timecode vinyl for portablists. Still, DVS is a space that has been traditionally dominated by Serato: the scratch DJ community supports Serato DJ heavily, and timecode vinyl release events and collector groups are common throughout the world. To Pioneer DJ’s credit, the company has been releasing updates at a feverish pace to add compatible Pioneer DJ controllers and mixers to the DVS-enabled list, and it just released its own DVS box, the Interface 2, a few weeks ago. This naturally means that the technology is more refined, tighter, with fewer bugs, and is compatible with more mixers and DVS boxes compared to Rekordbox DVS. Seniority is what Serato has going for it, especially in the DVS space: While Rekordbox DVS made its debut as an add-on pack to Rekordbox DJ last year, Serato DVS celebrated its 13th year in the business. Rekordbox DJ: Yes, for a little over a year now Serato DJ: Yes, for 13 years and counting Depending on the controller you’re using (eg DDJ-RX and DDJ-RZ), you also get the Pad FX feature, which lets you trigger / toggle effects using the performance pads. ![]() While Rekordbox DJ has a smaller pool of effects, it does have the RMX-1000 add-on pack that brings some cool performance effect combos such as filter echoes and spiral ups (like what you’d find on a DJM-900NXS2 mixer). You’ll never say you didn’t have enough FX to tweak from now on, though you’ll have a tough time finding enough knobs to control them all! In terms of sheer number of available effects, Serato DJ takes the lead: it comes with 22 base FX, and can be augmented with up to 42 more thanks to the FX pack add-ons (US$29 for all five packs), for a whopping 67 effects total. Rekordbox DJ: 17 standard FX, Pad FX control, nine RMX-1000 inspired add-on FX Serato DJ: 22 standard FX, five add-on FX packs with a total of 42 FX This is in stark contrast to Rekordbox DJ, which is not being licensed to other manufacturers because it is strictly for use with DJ controllers released by Pioneer DJ. The result is Serato DJ works with more gear from more manufacturers. Licensing is another reason why Serato DJ has an edge: when you buy a DJ controller that ships with Serato DJ (or Serato DJ Intro), the manufacturer is essentially paying a licence fee to Serato in order to have that compatibility baked in. ![]() Get the best tuition out there for Rekordbox – Rekordbox Made Easy Serato has been around for over a decade (starting with Serato Scratch Live and Serato Itch), so it’s obviously worked with more controllers in the past compared to Rekordbox DJ, which at the moment is just shy of its second birthday. Serato DJ is compatible with a lot more DJ controllers because of two things: longevity and licensing. Rekordbox DJ: 22 controllers, 12 mixers, 10 media players, one accessory ( DDJ-SP1), one DVS box Serato DJ: 53 controllers, 17 mixers, 18 accessories (including CDJs), four DVS boxes In this Head To Head feature, we compare Serato DJ and Rekordbox DJ… Head To Head: 1. With Pioneer DJ’s Rekordbox DJ now established as yet another software alternative, it’s becoming even harder for new DJs to choose a platform. ![]()
