“However, while browsing around I came across the Traktor S8… and wow, I was impressed! The unit just looks amazing and the reviews are awesome! It just looks like it will be a lot of fun to play with and the Remix Decks are extremely appealing. But, and it is a big but, there are no jogwheels or pitch faders… so how the hell are you supposed to beat match tracks you haven’t set the beatgrid up for? I mean I’m new to the controller world and have always had to beatmatch tracks before mixing them, but I have over 50,000 tracks on my laptop so to sit down and set up beatgrids for all of them is a bit daunting.
“I never used the sync feature on Serato as I found it unreliable so I preferred the reassurance of traditional beatmatching tracks instead of relying on the software. I want to know if anyone has used one and tried to beatmatch on it using the touchstrips and the tempo dial?
“I’m really torn between them as I am pushing towards it but not being able to beatmatch in an emergency when the grids aren’t right is putting me off and pushing me towards the DDJ-SX2 and sticking with Serato. I’ve looked at the Traktor Kontrol S4 but it looks pretty basic compared to the Pioneer DDJ-SX2 and if I’m going to spend all this money on a controller I want the best I can afford. Ideally I would get the S8 and then buy CDJs or an equivalent to use for the jogwheels etc… but I’m not that rich and the wife won’t let me get the finance on £3K of kit…”
Digital DJ Tips says:
Traktor with the S8 in particular is really good at one thing specifically: tight EDM tracks. Rock steady beats throughout the track. It gets the sync right most of the time. So, with all those FX and Remix Decks to play with, Native Instruments figures you have plenty to do without keeping your decks in sync. You let Traktor sync it all for you and keep yourself busy with all the live remixes, mashups and what have you. So, if you are purely in electronic dance music, Traktor might be for you.
Otherwise, Serato – which you already have and know – might be the best choice still. Using Serato with a controller will open a host of options that your DVS system didn’t offer you. Not sure how many extra features you’d be getting from a Traktor set-up vs a Serato one (especially with Flip now), and the Remix Decks are still rather specialised for most DJs.

However, if you want to go down the Traktor route, why not get the S8 and keep your turntables? You can use those for DVS control and beatmatch as you’ve always done, while having the Remix Decks to play with too.

Have you found yourself trying to decide between these Serato and Traktor, or between these two controllers in particular? What decision did you make, and why? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

- How well does the Pioneer DDJ-SX map with traktor? Because I already have the controller however I am not really into serato. I dont know really if this was ever discussed here, and I cant find any review about this because the DDJ-SX is already specifically made for serato. I am also not sure if this should be posted here or the software thread :/

Have you tried looking up the mapping via Google yet? I don’t know how the mappings work with the SX, but it may be worth a shot to watch users who’ve uploaded videos to Youtube.It works OK, but the SX is a match made in heaven for Serato.
Honestly if I use Traktor I would rather get an S4 or a 4Trak.
However the SX works stunningly well with Cross also…Indeed I think for Traktor there are better suited controllers than the SX.I’ve used the DDJ SX with Traktor from the day I got it november 12th last year up until May this year when I started using it with Mixvibes Cross. I still use it with traktor each saturday as I’m the DJ for Team Klaksvik witch is our Handball team. I need to use a lot of samples so Remix decks are needed.
If you not into scratching the DDJ SX + Traktor is even better match then S4 + Traktor IMHO.I’m no scratch DJ so I can’t really comment on if it’s not possible but just referring to what others say that do scratch. It’s doable but not as tight as the jogs are with Serato DJIndeed the latency from the SX in Traktor is too much to really do decent scratching.At least I could not get off a decent scratch routine, where with Serato the SX is really tight and scratching is easy.Hey David,So I’ve been using Traktor Pro 2 for a little while 3-4 months, and I recently purchased a Pioneer DDJ SX and can I start by saying that (as you probably already know) this is probably the best standalone midi DJ controller out there. Great Jog wheels, the pads are awesome, build quality, knobs, faders etc. the whole Shibang is primo deluxo!But one failing are the jog wheel integration (as already mentioned in this post). I recently posted (see link below) asking people for an explanation of why Traktor cannot integrate with 3rd party Jogwheels. I guess I’m trying to get a sense of whether it is a marketing thing, or maybe a technical incompatibility. Either way, one cannot do proper scratching with the Traktor-SX combo (only simple baby scratches), happy to go into more detail of my experiences here if you wish.That said, everything else is fine. I downloaded a midi mapping TSI file from JaJa Artwork (French guy), and I think Coltrane09 above has a link to this. I’ve done my own mods to this midi mapping, but it is pretty comprehensive, and the other cool thing is that he/she updates it regularly, adding new features.So everything is great, except for the damn jog wheels, and I’m hoping someday that someone, somewhere, somehow comes up with a solve for this issue. - Posts
