Unless you're a purist, chances are you have made to switch to a laptop and is using some type of Dj software. If so, what do you use and why? Would you ever consider switching to another platform??
What do you use: Serato, Virtual Dj or other ?

I use Serato. I was vinyl from 86-01, cd's from 02-10 and then moved to Serato. If there was no Serato I would still be spinning cd's. I also ran out of space for my cd books, lol.
Virtual dj and Traktor are good also but just too busy for me.

Traktor Pro 2 here. I have tried some of the others but I love all the bells and whistles that Traktor offers. This is a Prime example of to each his own. As long as music is played then everything else is personal preference.
Mixmiester, Yes I am going to change to another DJ Software, I only use the lap top to reduce the amount of seldom played music I carry. 90 percent of the event I do are still done with CDs.
I still use 8-tracks and cassettes. lmao. J/K. Seriously, I use Rockit Pro DJ. Rick, you be awesome!!!!!
Started with CDs in 96, then moved to SSL 4 years ago. Now learning vinyl with Serato of course. Wouldn't switch to anything else...
I used Serato with Rane Mixer. Initially, it was recommended by other friend DJs. I am considering moving to Native Instruments just for the Traktor S4 midi controller. It's lighter and more compact than my current setup.
Yeah... for my big setup I use the Rane TTM-57 with CDJ-800s SSL & Video, my smaller more used setup is DDJ-S1 w/Serato Itch. Both can be back ups. When I do shows with my S1 I bring my Pio DJM-400 mixer and another laptop. When I take my bigger setup out I bring my S1 too.
For weddings and formal events I use Virtual DJ, at home and any event where I use my turntables I use serato.
