The sudden realisation that I've been backing the wrong horse all these years
Yesterday, I opened up Djay Pro on my laptop and connected my T7 out of curiosity. Turns out, everything runs so much smoother and nicer within this software!! I DJ'd a corporate event last friday using Serato, and it was an absolute pain in the a** in terms of stability. At first, I blamed it on my laptop which is not the newest and also pretty low-end in terms of specs. However, after seeing how smooth and flawless the T7 runs under Djay Pro, even after several hours, I can’t help but wonder whether I’ve been backing the wrong horse all these years. So, if any of you are facing similar issues, keep asking yourself: Is it really necessary to keep using the so-called "industry standard" for controller DJs, or is it maybe time to set off for new horizons?
Few background infos:
- My laptop is a 6 year old Acer running Windows 11.
- I got a great deal for the Djay Pro annual licence a few months ago, so I bought it but never really used it with my previous controller, the Numark Mixstream Pro+.
- Since I bought the T7 just a few weeks ago and switched back from Engine DJ to Serato after 2 1/2 years, I've noticed that things had gotten significantly worse on my ageing laptop.
- Djay Pro now seems to be the perfect solution for my new setup. I will have to test it during a live gig though, before I can be 100% certain.
