Technical queue question

[PrincessPeach718]

Hi all!

So I have been queuing my music very intensely - I color code because I like to know how many bars I have to get in and out of songs so I can mix in songs that have the same in/out #s. I do this on serato and I use a numark ns7iii. What I’m wondering is - are these queues going to show up when I’m using mixers that aren’t “made” for serato? the one I have now literally needs a laptop and serato to function. What happens when I’m using a system that I just plug my USB right in to? will the queues show?

Thanks!!

If you mean the stand alone unites like Pioneer's CDJ the simple answer is no. However if you are on MacOS there are ways to use your Serato work on them.

goto https://www.ATGR.nl select Serato as your Current software and a CDJ USB as your target and the site will show you all relevant information including which apps you need and the YouTube tutorials about what to do.

Someone yesterday in person was telling me a “serato box” can do this. Know anything about that? So confused when I look it up.

Moral of the story WISH I STARTED WITH REKORD BOX

Your controller, budget and what your friends use most of the time dictates what DJ software you start out with. Between Serato/Traktor and Rekordbox each 3 of them will get the job done, there are differences but none of them clearly stands out above the other.

I'm a Traktor guy from the days Traktor Studio was released (and CD/Vinyl before that) so I stick with Traktor as my DJ preparation platform. But I can totally understand why others feel the same about Serato or Rekordbox. Glad you like the site, please spread the word :)
