When building your overviews, select a range that's the closest to your tracks. For instance, if all your tracks are EDM, I would select my range to be 88-175. Than all your tracks will be BPM'd correctly. You can BPM tracks individually or in batches. I BPM my hip hop tracks at a much smaller range 68-135, and my rock tracks at a higher range 98-195.

You can always rebuild the overviews to erase the old bpm's and get the new ones. That way you don't have to do the math.

I use Virtual DJ and i have no problems at all. I love the program.

traktor scratch and numark virtual vinyl are best ones

traktor leads in quality while numark owns in latency (zero latency feature)

zero latency is _impossible_.

Anybody else besides myself use Virtual DJ?

I used to use it a few years ago with a mouse and keyboard before I bought my cdjs and mixer. I taught myself a ot on it in terms of the basics of mixing (beatmatching, phrasing, eqing) and it was a pretty simple transition to hardware.

I've since added Torq to the equation.

Torq

I use Torq, it works great and it is very simple to use, never had a problem with it, and although I'm not a pro, I know professional DJs from my country who also use Torq.
Since I never used Serato, I'm not in position of giving you an opinion about which is better.

Awesome. I know that the VDJ program does a lot and i wouldn't mind having 2CDJS and a Mixer but i don't have the money to make the transition yet. I do have a Behringer BCD 2000. It's a mp3 controler that i have mapped to VDJ. At first it crashed when i was setting it up, however after i got it configured it is great. I don't have to touch the mouse or keyboard at all. I noticed that my mixeing is a lot better too since i got it.

yeah i didn't believe it myself. The signal has to go through analog to digital and back analog, which is what a DAC does, in less than a milisecond. impressive if you ask me.

Sweet. Enjoy what you have in the meantime!

For the record Sasha uses Ableton Live....
Fat Boy Slim recently switched to Serato

not sure about the others....

but Mix Master Mike, and Jazzy Jeff use Traktor Scratch
I use Traktor 3.3.1

Serato is very reliable and totaly stable....
but if you tweak your system properly Traktor is the bees knees

Jazzy Jeff is a Serato user...

My bad
I was thinking of Grand Master Flash....
didn't bother to do the research

I own Torq, and have never used Serato, so I can't really pass judgment.

But I did do extensive research on this subject before buying Torq, and the bottom line seems to be that if price is most important to you, get Torq, and if you'd rather have the de-facto standard, go with Serato.

It's like choosing between a Technics 1200 or one of the many competitors.

Some info on the next version of Torq from the lead designer himself. Check out the tempo anchors.

by buddy is going to get into djing. hes going to buy some 1200s and he wants to use Traktor Scratch or Serato. can any one offer any help?

If he's going to drop that kind of money, he should get Serato. I've heard quite a lot of complaints about Traktor Scratch being a rather unstable resource hog, but I can't confirm that for myself. What's for sure is that everyone who uses Serato swears by it...

alot of the big anmes are going to traktor scratch like hawtin, dubfire, and some more

I have used Serato in clubs, and very frequently live on the radio.
It has never had anything bad happen besides one time at a small party but that was essentially caused by me doing something stupid (Serato did actually keep playing the track and eventually unfreeze itself though).
But I am looking at selling it soon because I am interested in getting a korg zero4 and along with traktor scratch.

I've had torq for over a year and never had any problems with it.

Just gigged today for 4 hours outside on the beach, sand blowin around and all and no probs with Torq.

i own torq and ive gigged with serato,
serato is extremely stable, does the job...love it

been hearing trash about torq, but the only real issue ive had was a low buzzing sound.. other than that its great, tested teh shit out of it.

i figure some people dont like torq's interface and how cluttered it is, , i have no problem with it.
Serato has less going on and its industry standard.

i think the descision is upto the user... and what it is going to be used for.

if i dont make sense its because i had a long day and im exhausted.

um....thats because serato came out before torq and they started using serato before torq came out. do you see the correlation here?

really the only con torq has compared with serato is the build quality. but it has sooooo much more in terms of features. if you plan on smashing your interface around then get serato it might last longer.
