psy-junky use deckadance, thats for me best software for virtual djing..
Again I stand by the serato cause I heard from TS users that they have problems connecting it on existing setup in the club.. And a lot of users nagged about stability, ur lucky u dont have any problems, nice to hear that..
But personaly I dont like the looks of Tractor, I didnt like it when it was virtual djing program, nor do I like it now when its TS, though it looks better, more minimalistic..

oooh Ecler i like .... Too much money though.
But surely top grade equipment.

Also ive been noticing lately in the dj section you have posted many progressive sets. But not many night psy mixed. Can you give me some links ?

agreed . but in case of psytrance..its much more than a dj concept. the controll you can have over music and story definetly cannot be compated with cdjs ..both has its advantages and disadvantages .end of the day what matters is how comfortable you are with what ever you use . the nosoftware thing is more like a mental block for some .open up .. and see what technology has to offer . its about giving people a good experience , dosnt matter software , cd machines or dat players

and my conclusion after experience with both .

i love the feel of "Softwear with haedware".. it runs smooth and i have all my music with me and i focus more on story than wasting my time on beat maching , cueing blah blah , i can flip out(optional) and the interface is fun to learn and play with(much more than cdjs). if you haven't tried it yet, i strongly recommend.. ;P

p.s but definetly dont abuse it by playing mp3s

I used to DJ with Traktor some years ago, but when I got the hang of how to use Ableton for DJ'ing I just stuck with that and have not tried any other software since. They all look like they are made to be a CDJ emulation, and that seems very limiting to me.

Of course what software is best is very individual...if you don't want to rearrange, process and mess around with adding loops and stuff, then for example at least early versions of Traktor has a much more convenient interface than Live.
But if you like to use a computer instead of CDJ's to expand on your creative possibilities and like to make more advanced hardware setups than using on of the typical CDJ+mixer type controllers, then Live is superior IMO.

Personally I use a very compact but powerful controller setup, which consists of a little A4Tech gamer keypad that I have programmed using autohotkey to give all the control I need for loading, playing, looping, cueing, controlling tempo, triggering fx and so on.
And using a BCR-2000 I have enough knobs and buttons to do have dedicated controls for all my mixing and processing functions, and the LED indicators make it easy to see what is going on.

Mouseless operation is really great for a number of reasons. When using the mouse you need to stare at the screen which makes you loose contact with the crowd and also is a lot slower than accessing dedicated hardware buttons.
And if you play long sets using a mouse can be a real killer for the back unless the table is not just the right height. When pressing buttons you don't need to be positioned in such a specific angle and hence get much better ergonomy.
