#SERATO VS TRAKTOR 2012 PRO#

This makes it look like there are more effects in Serato DJ when really some effects appear twice for the different FX modes. Single and Multi FX also appear as 2 separate effects, for example there is a Single effect for Echo and Multi effect for Echo. Some FX are only available in one mode or the other. These modes are similar to Traktor’s “Single” and “Group” modes. A major difference in Serato DJ is that all the effects aren’t switchable between Single and Multi FX mode. DJ-FX can be controlled in Single FX or Multi FX mode. Serato DJ has a similar FX setup to Traktor. Serato DJ FX modes: Single FX or Multi FX Lastly all the effect units have a dedicated dry/wet knob for controlling the overall FX signal/mix both in single and group mode. The only way to find out what each knob is controlling is to read about the FX parameters in the Traktor manual. For example Delay will display the delay rate in fractions of bars (1/2, 1/4, 1/8 etc.) but the Reverb will only display a percentage value. One issue with Traktor is that not all FX in group mode indicate the parameter that is being controlled. Each effect feeds into the next, allowing for unique combinations. The FX parameter changes depending on which effect is loaded. Group mode allows DJs to load up to 3 FX in a chain with one adjustable parameter for each effect. The parameters vary slightly from effect to effect. Single mode lets DJs choose one effect with 3 adjustable knob parameters and buttons – filter, feedback, and rate in the case of the Delay effect.
