SRT is apparently compatible with Traktor too so I would go that route.

srt, exactly the same, except better faders and soundcard compatible with SDJ and Traktor Pro. it is NOT compatible with traktor scratch and using timecode cds or vinyl. but im sure there is a hack for traktor.

so if i really don't want to hack, which one of these mixers is really better? are there any real differences or just a price tag and software compatibility?? i like both softwares, but would it just be better to get the nexus with a sl4 or the srt with an audio 10 card?

SRT has 4 phono inputs. Nexus only has two

If money is no object, I would buy a 900nxs, and graft an SL4 to it. That way you can have Traktor Scratch, ScratchLIVE, and SeratoDJ. If I had the loot, this is exactly what I would do.

thats gotta be around 3k right?

I would imagine so.

Still, for a promoter, this has got to be about the best mixer you could get. Satisfies just about everyone's preferences.

LOL, throw in an Innofader Pro in the crossfader slot, and (4) Mini-Innofaders in the lines, and it would truly kick ass! Obviously, at a helluva' premium though.

Ok so i want to use the Pioneer DJM -900SRT for Ableton Live 9 to DJ with... it says that its midi-map to the DJ Feature but does not show in the Hardware... does this mean I cannot midi-map the Pioneer SRT Mixer to Ableton Live 9?

tthanks bro

I don't quite get what you mean here. It seems like a contradiction when you say it's compatible with traktor pro but not compatible with traktor timecode. Can you clarify? I would like to be able to get a mixer that would allow the use of both serato and traktor DVS.

Thanks

there is traktor pro(no dvs) and traktor scratch(offers dvs, but you could play internally).

i dont know why it only works with traktor pro, someone else pointed it out, and it worked for me.

and yes, of course you and most people that buy the Nexus or the SRT would want to use the mixer for traktor and SDJ. but you cant. unless you can write code and figure it out on your own. someone may have a patch out there. thats a google search away.

thanks

apparently you can hack traktor pro to support DVS but I don't know how stable it is.

Traktor Scratch is like Serato - you must have a proprietary mixer or soundcard in order to unlock the DVS features. Traktor Pro is open though and you can map it to anything that does midi, but you don't get any timecode features.

ideally just but a traktor sound card if you want dual functionality. its cheaper

Personally, if you're going to go the outboard soundcard route, it would be better to buy a standard DJM-900 along with an SL3 or SL4, versus buying the SRT w' a Traktor A6 or A10.

By purchasing the Rane soundcard, you have the option to play ScratchLIVE or SeratoDJ, whereas if you buy the SRT, you are stuck w' SeratoDJ alone.

I got Traktor Scratch Pro going on a DB4 without the Traktor box and it worked perfectly.
I've never had a 900Nexus to try though, but it works on DB4 so I guess it's possible.

Oh yeah, I've read about that hack. It's ridiculous how Native Instruments wouldn't give the DB4 Traktor Scratch Certification. Despite the amount of people begging for it.

Late response from my side but I have the Sixty Two 'hacked' into Traktor since a couple of months just for fun.
It is stable, no problems sofar.
Only downside is the Sixty Two does not auto bpm the effects anymore, you have to tap it every time.
Switching usb is not functioning offcourse.
Beatmarkers are not lit up on the mixer but do work when you press the first cue button.
Cue points are lit on the mixer.

I have a DJ and DJ rental company. However, I have the Pioneer DJM 900 Nexus and the Serato Rane 68 Mixer. We know that both have 4 channels. My problem is most EDM people my get the 900 nexus with the CDJs 2000 Nexus. The hood brothers get the same thing but you know that the are running the Serato SL1 interface with the time Coded CDs. However, no one asked for the Serato Rane 68 mixer. Its been collecting dust for close to 2 years. I tried it out a couple of time but not for an event. Should I replace the Rane 68 with a SRT 900? Does the Pioneer DJM SRT 900 work without the Serato SL1 interface? Is the Rane Serato 68 Mixer a good mixer but people are afraid to use it? I need to know.

Well the 68 is still compatible with scratch live still and also SDJ, off that alone there is more value for potential renters. The SRT works has straight out the box with Serato DJ but not with scratch live and doesn't need the SL1. I know that the 68 wasn't a hit with everyone but it still offers ton of value, but if it isn't producing anything for you the SRT maybe a better bet but just make sure to make clear that it only works with Serato DJ.

But remember when researching your next purchase .......

Pioneer just announced that they're discontinuing the SRT

where was that announced?

thanks. New DJM has to be got to be dropping soon then

When using a DJM-900 NEXUS with Serato and DVS, does the feed from the laptop remain digital and does the master out remain digital (via S/PDIF)?
