ok so here's the skinny i own both... but use serato/ableton 98% of the time and been a die hard serato user since version 1.3 .. the major turn off is the lack of vertical waveforms on traktor so i haven't used it since studio pro 3 for 80$ i can get current which is chump change so im reaching out to you guys to ask what am i missing pro's and cons of each and get a balanced view of what i might be missing as far as my remixing and open format sets i like the idea of 4 decks and the sampler but never dove in to really use them (i have myriads of controllers sitting around) so those will come into play too im sure as well as tablet control

my major gripe with serato/ableton is that because of ableton i need to preplan everything and with thousands of tracks it cramps creativity on the fly serato i have no problems or complaints with other then the overviews not building the warps in ableton but i understand how difficult that might be to code again more an ableton issue


so basically what would i loose and what would i gain if i switched what would i need if i decided to keep it and what would you recommend
