NI did that video like a month ago I think. Its on their site with others:

[http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=t3videos&L=1&nitr=1&l\_src=djline&tsr\_id=71763](http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=t3videos&L=1&nitr=1&l_src=djline&tsr_id=71763)

I own Traktor and I’ve used Serato a few times as well. They are both good but I like using Traktor…the interface is better IMHO. More contrast and doesn’t centralize useless things. The beat grid and other things are just more intuitive.
