Which one is your preferred and why?
1. Serato
2. Rekordbox
3. Other
I was to get more serious about setting time aside to dj everyday. I want to pick a software for my PC that will allow me to grow and seamlessly transition to CDJs when I'm ready.

Serato for me all the way. It has a clean UI and a robust suite of tools. It will also be easier if you ever want to learn vinyl & turntables. 

Rekordbox is easiest for use with CDJs, but the UI is messy imo

rekordbox is probably way to go if you want to maximize familiarity once you graduate to CDJs

i'm a hardcore traktor maxi though, i find the UI 100x better. not compatible with CDJs but if i'm on my laptop and want to throw some quick ideas together, it's a godsend

co-conspirator @ /moshicam /gallery /djs • prev coinbase • my casts are endorsements, financial advice, and reflect my employer's opinions

another way i think about it is i find traktor a lot easier to go from idea-to-execution. find it more intuitive + less clunky

whereas rekordbox is more just a shell to keep things in sync with my CDJs lol

definitely rekordbox for me

replicates the ddj400 layout / has a pretty good interface

Serato gang on this side. I went from timecode vinyl to a controller — been using it for over a decade (since scratch live)
