Pretty much, anything not manufactured by Pioneer or Native Instruments uses Serato – that’s a lot of controllers! Serato – Serato is the most common DJ program seeing that it comes with many DJ controllers across manufacturers such as Numark, Hercules, Denon and Roland. Moving your library might seem daunting but it’s pretty straightforward with a little assistance from the program Rekord Buddy. If you move from Serato to RekordBox, you’ll be faced with the task of moving your library. RekordBox is on the rise, it’s too soon yet to say whether it’s the dominant program but more people are moving from Serato to RekordBox. These two pieces of software are the most popular, BUT, what if you want to switch from one to the other?

Still, it’s entirely possible to use either software on any controller with a bit of custom mapping handy work and thus, these two DJ programs are relatively easy to compare. Serato, they primarily represent for any manufacturers which are not Pioneer or Native Instruments! RekordBox primarily represents for Pioneer. So, for now, it’s safe to say that Serato and RekordBox are battling it out at the top. Traktor is great too but it’s still a little confined to the Native Instruments ecosystem. They’re super-powerful, constantly updated, flexible, affordable and work with the largest amount of devices.

These days, it’s hard to say for sure, but RekordBox and Serato are probably the most popular two. Thank you for the opportunity to win a beta copy of Rekord Buddy 2.Serato DJ and RekordBox are two of the big 3 pieces of DJ software including Traktor. I believe Rekord Buddy 2 is the key I need to help my truly unlock my organization workflow so I can let my creativity focus on my skills and energy flow, instead of spending valuable seconds searching only to come up short trying to go through a vast library of tracks. Being an IT professional and with DJing being my passion, a workflow is the ultimate key in being able to do a top notch performance. I can often change my library organization style because I haven’t found the workflow that fits best. My creativity takes a mind of its own when i’m DJing. I know my music but being able to tag my music effectively to help me organize those songs that I can’t remember off the top of my head would save my life. It’s been a constant struggle to locate the songs i’m looking for with out a proper way to search and tag files. I’ve needed help me finding the tracks I need that match the vibe or mood that is currently in the atmosphere from set. I need the Rekord Buddy 2.0 beta in my life because, I’ve gone through the last 5 years since I started DJing trying to find the most effective way of organizing my music. Oh I dream of the day where I have Rekord Buddy 2.0 Beta, what an auspicious day that would be! How I would laugh the face of my itunes and traktor using nemeses! I would tell my grandchildren of that day, insisting they tell THEIR grandchildren of the day, thus instituting a family rememberance day forthwith to be called, “Stephen’s day of victory against the non-music-managing-bullies and the traktor-itunes-user nay-sayers on which Rekord Buddy 2.0 was acquired and changed the course of history forever”, or something catchier. I have seen the light, the light is rekord buddy 2.0 beta, it has the tools to save my life, sooth my soul, and warm the cockles of my music managing heart. I am the butt of my friends jokes, they laugh at me for spending so long in itunes crying how bad it is, wishing there was another way, yet alas, until this day there is not. I need the Rekord Buddy 2.0 beta in my life because, to be frank, I am dying inside every time I organise my music.
