Winthropdc PRO Infinity Member since 2005 I have been using Virtual DJ on a Surface Pro and now a Surface Pro 2. You will need to drop the DPI setting from 150% to 125% to get the screen to work nicely in 1920x1080 (Full HD). My next challenge has been to.
- Apr 19, 2011 The Traktor Kontrol S4 is the most popular DJ controller with Digital DJ Tips readers as voted for in your 2011 Reader’s Survey, but until now we’ve not carried a full review of the unit. However, the initial months since its launch have given us the chance to really get to grips with it, and with the recent arrival of the Traktor Pro 2 software, we felt it was high time.

Traktor Pro 2 Mac
- I just wanted to ask if someone here has any experience with using a MS Surface Pro 2 or 3 as sort of laptop replacement for DJing. Im really tempted to buy one but still thats lots of money for me.
I think that this tablet-pc would be so cool to DJ with, eventhough a bit overpriced. Core i5 (i7 in the pro 3 I think), 8GB Ram, fast SSD as storage medium … Sounds great to me – and this in such a compact package! Maybe it woud not make much sense when using a SX like I do because the controller is already so big that it does not matter that much how big the computer is and maybe the screen is too small to actually run Serato properly (dont know the resolution of the screens … ), but thats really what Im asking for.Nexus 2 Latest Version contains many improvements to made nexus more in use. You can also from here. That is too trusted and more accurate output capable musical software. We can even say “synthesizer”, especially when you consider the fact that the price of Nexus 2 is higher within the range of Roller, which is slightly higher than the average virtual analog synthesizer?In this software you get LED screen in this you can see all active functions. Nexus vst cracked download. Very friendly in use and no create any burden on ROM so frequent in running without any hanging issue.So has anyone here used one of these and could loose a few words on its performance and such in a DJ environment? – Would be really helpful 😀Yes you can use the Surface Pro 3 with Serato DJ and the Pioneer DDJ SX. YouTube has a few videos demonstrating this.I would LOVE to DJ with Traktor running on a Surface Pro. Laptops just don’t like DJ booths. My only concern would be running the audio interface into a USB hub instead of the computer itself, but if the latency is agreeable it makes perfect sense to do it.Take a look at this video by DJ TLMWaves mercury complete vst download. Featuring 64-bit support, faster scanning, faster loading, and faster processing, Waves Version 9 opens up new dimensions of high performance plugin power.Very informative, and thorough review of using a surface pro and serato to DJ.IMO the fact that the screen is so small really detracts from using it as your laptop replacement, as you’ll be using the touch screen to select tracks (unless you get the SP1 but I don’t know what prices are like, probably expensive because Pioneer)ask him questions and he’ll reply too.Cheers- This reply was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by .

So here it is, the groove, slightly transformed…
I was asked to DJ a gig at the Microsoft Lounge. Cool, I’m with it. Good people, good vibes. “But there’s just 1 thing… no apple products.” Now you need to know a little something about me. I’ve been DJ-ing for 25 years. I know how to mix with 2 turntables and a microphone. However, since adopting the digital revolution of Serato, I utilize a lot of loops and effects in my sets. In fact, with the release of Serato DJ, I use flips and samples too. My 2 setups include a NS7 (soon to be traded in for a NS7II) and an Akai AMX with AFX and Serato remote on iPad. I used a pc laptop once before but found it problematic and made the jump to Mac about 4 years ago. I haven’t looked back. I currently rock a 2011 Macbook Pro with 16gb ram and a 1 tb internal HDD (about 45% used). I use itunes to manage my playlists (I learned that lesson after having my serato playlists disappear 1 day). I back up my itunes folder every month and I have 2 time machine backups (1 at home, and 1 at office). I’ve had my vinyl collection warp and scratch in travelling, as well as some stolen. So let’s not make this about vinyl vs. digital. It’s apple vs. pc. Actually it’s really just about Surface Pro 3.
So in order to do this No Apple Zone gig. Someone loaned me a Surface Pro 3 to use. They gave me an i7 1.7Ghz 8GB Ram, 256GB internal. It came with the optional keyboard but not the docking station. I strongly suggest the docking station. For 2 main reasons- 1, it gives you an easier way to prop up the SP3 and 2, the additional USB ports. It comes with 1 USB 3.0. This became a problem that I address later (#2).
First issue: Drivers and Software. I had to find the drivers (Numark and Akai) I’m pretty sure I went through this with my Macbook, but I just don’t remember. So the process of troubleshooting and trying to figure out why it wasn’t working had me on my heels early. I found the drivers I needed at:
http://www.numark.com/product_category/controllersclick on your controller, and the downloads will be on the right side of screen.
http://www.akaipro.com/category/dj-controllersclick on the AFX (and AMX) and then “Docs and Downloads”
Serato crashed a couple times trying to find an iTunes folder that didn’t exist (I was trying to just get serato up and test it). So I had to install itunes before connecting Serato. (be sure to click itunes box in serato’s folder management so it’ll read your library). It took some hours, bu issue solved!
Second issue: Crashed with USB 2.0 Hub. So once I had everything up and running, it would get overwhelmed by the amount of USB info running through my 2.0 hub. I went and bought a 3.0 powered hub (1 more thing to plug into power strip) and it did the trick. The main bummer with this is – my mobile rig doesn’t need power (laptop and ipad have battery and akai stuff is usb powered) so now if someone accidentally yanks the power cord, the hub dies and I lose all communication and audio. Just gotta make sure my power strips are yank proof. Issue worked around!
Third issue: External USB 3.0 drive. Since my library is so big, I had to get an external drive. And since it has USB 3.0, I might as well get a 3.0 drive. Not that expensive, but I felt like after all the USB issues I already had, I just HAD to get a 3.0 drive. Issue solved!
Fourth issue: 32 bit. Speaking of large library, seems a lot of people have experienced serato crashing when trying to load large libraries. From what my geek friends tell me – Serato is 32 bit (x86) software. And though it WILL run in 64 bit environment, it has a built in limit of 2gb of ram. So no matter how much ram I upgrade to, Serato will only use 2gb, making it prone to crashing. Especially when loading videos, writing meta tags, and recording. The solution I found was http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php. Apparently, it will quickly rewrite the .exe file to remove the flag that restricts the virtual memory usage. No spam, no viruses. A quick and easy fix and it totally worked!!! No more crashes. Issue solved!
Fifth issue: Light pen. Ok, I’m getting picky now but this pen is ridic! It has a little button on the side that if you accidentally click it, it opens an annoying note program. I’m sure I can disable this somehow but, I’m already tired of messing with it – I just wanna DJ. Not to mention it’s gonna get lost. I tied a lanyard to it and put it out of the way. Issue worked around!
Sixth issue: Screen too small. The advantage is that it’s small and portable, and this shouldn’t be a problem if you’re not staring at the screen for your whole set. I actually appreciate that it made me stop being Serato face, and I was able to interact with the crowd better. Issue worked around!
So all these issues were addressed in the short time I had to prep for the gig. The gig went well. I used the Numark NS7FX. The Surface Pro 3 sat in the laptop tray just perfectly. I was super nervous it would get knocked out. I will continue to play with it and give updates. But as of now, though I was talking MAAAAD *ish about it at first, once I figured out what I was doing, I really enjoyed it. I know ther's not a lot of PC DJ's out there, but I'd love to hear about your tips and tricks.
For future updates: No Android or windows version of Serato remote (total bummer). But will update after I try it with an iPad but since that won’t be an option at any of these Microsoft events, I’m not really sweating it.
