…hmm, I tried (and paid for!) come conversion software when I moved back to RB from Traktor, didn’t work out for me.
Tbh Stu, unless you are prepared to shell-out, there isn’t really a (decent) cheap modular or controller option. It’s a shame Traktor haven’t progressed the hardware side of things to something more standalone, but that clearly isn’t the direction they want to go. Based on my own experience, if you already have a substantial library of analysed tracks, I would think very hard about changing ecosystems. Wasn’t aware that Engine read Traktor files, that’s quite appealing in your situation. As Nasser says though, have a go on the hardware before you commit, I didn’t get on with them at all.
All things considered, in a party scenario, I do think I enjoy playing on standalone CDJ’s much more than I did staring at a computer.
