Serato now allowed in DMC championships

By DJ Forge

I’d heard about this but seeing the press release pretty much makes it official: serato is now allowed for use in DMC battles. Outside of my personal objections to this, I believe this is a major bullet point for digital DJing to be the absolute standard now.  It also means serato is getting even closer to being THE standard for DJing these days.

But what does this mean for battling overall?  Will the use of new digital formats lower the bar for skill level on display at battles?  I wonder how this makes past champions feel (not like they aren’t all using digital systems now anyway)?  How will DMC/Rane prevent cheating (will someone be monitoring the computer screens)?

What do you guys think?
