[@DJBlakeyUk]

Glad you found it useful everyone!

[@VistaBalls]

Sort by BPM, hold CTRL + click Key ;D

[@liamosheauk]

Thanks a lot for the guide! Intrigued to understand how your sorting your library by BPM. Noticed you've got Dubstep at around 70bpm for example

[@DJBlakeyUk]

@@liamosheauk That is simply because I haven’t yet doubled the bpm inside Serato. Quick tip, highlight a songs bpm and hold ALT and press up or down to double of halve the bpm

Beginner serato user here, and all those tips were really helpful :) You're a great teacher, thank you so much !

[@BoomDocs14K]

Great information! Thanks for sharing and time spent creating this content. Just when I thought I knew everything about Serato, I learned something new watching this. I have a Mac with M1, 2tb ssd drive, and 16gb of ram. I'm hoping I can take advantage of the "analyze on load" feature. Going to experiment today! Thanks again!

[@DJSamerChidiac]

Thank you very much, great video! would love to see a similar Tips & Tricks video on how to organize your Serato Library!

[@DJDevine]

Fantastic work! I use the same settings except instant doubles as I have the option but I see your point and reasoning. I may adopt this and I had it at 1 ms now at 5ms cheers also Pro 3.2.1 just came out and is just destroying the old F/X!!! Yeah and filters with 4 FX!

[@djwolfservices2222]

Thanks for very good information.

It’s crazy how that is such a popular controller when it looks and feels like a TOYS R US. DJ GEAR

[@MixArt-1]

I say play with your controller like its s guitar or musical instrument, Test all of the bottons and start jaming, Thats what I do every day and it only gets better

[@spinster123]

Thanks! That was very helpful, some stuff I knew some stuff was new to me on what it actually does.

[@OpenCirclesArts]

When I first started using Serato in 2020, when starting the app, my library use to be where i left it. Now everytime the app starts, its reloading my whole entire library back into the app. Why is this?

[@tablist33]

Sounds like you’re either using iTunes to organize your library; using the internal or external HD will cause your library to “immediately” populate.

[@OpenCirclesArts]

@tablist33 I don't have external HDs, but I do have an additional and partitioned HD. Would that cause the same outcome?

[@tablist33]

@@OpenCirclesArts possibly. I no longer use itunes to organize my library; as much as an asset as it was, it was too taxing on my MBP laptop. You may need to contact Serato support regarding your issue or look online using youtube for a solution.

Instant Doubles seemed tricky until a friend showed me how when we had to rock off a single turntable. Once I got the hang of it, it was easy breezy

The amount of times I've loaded a track to the wrong deck... the whole mix stops and the new song starts the intro.. lucky I'm a home DJ and the only living thing that hears me is my cat hahaha

[@Jime0326]

Thank you

Helpful 😃!

[@vasilikiprassa681]

Good evening, very nice video, I wanted to ask a question that may be unrelated, but could you recommend a relatively cheap speaker to connect to the Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 DJ Controller and maybe you could tell me what cables I need like usb, rca to connect them because I've seen a lot of videos and I can't find someone to explain them in detail, I also don't know if the computer plays a role but I have a macbook air, thank you very much for your patience💛🙂

on the topic of sync mode, i rarely use sink mode. although i have a short throw slider, so at times, if Im doing different genres I jave to use sync :/

what is the best setting for recording with serato from beatport. I use Quicktime player, I have dave 12 G4X stereo. But last time after relisten the mix there was some cracking in the bass...

[@djgustavvo]

Does anyone have tips for better beatgrids on Serato? I have a lot of songs (old stuff, mostly) where it does not set well the beatgrids and BPM The newer doesn't have the same issue. I am thinking of moving back to Rekordbox. And yes, I know how to mix by ear, its just that sometimes you want to do a loop or just make something that I prefer to rely on visual rather than ear, and this simply doesnt work well.

[@djdrawgba7409]

Can instant double be use when you activate "locked playing deck " function?

[@miyagithedj]

no

[@iamdyre]

@@miyagithedj It does though, instant double ignores "Lock Playing Deck"

[@whiseman]

Hello! If I use Platinum Notes, should I include Autogain?

[@mark_spit7839]

Good question. I’m surprised he didn’t mention that setting.

[@JockelsEleven]

I do, because I might have some tracks not optimized by PN and still don't need to worry about that. However, I keep checking the levels.

[@kabes-us]

Can you do this walkthrough for Rekordbox too?

[@JarrettSpinks]

No lie I have a 2017 MacBook Air and ever since serato 3.0 came out for stems the program has been having lots of processing power issues

What is your budget ?

[@vicbarrios3691]

Studio or events?

[@lianehimps47]

EV Speakers with bottoms . You might need a mixer for your outs and ims .. otherwise you’ll be running long cables from your deck to your speakers.

[@PelleWidell]

Lock Playing deck should consider mixer settings since moving platters always spin and therefore that important settings are useless. :(

[@jamiesonree2769]

Can you do one for rekordbox please

[@maxdeejaytrapanotto7019]

which one the best to use between serato and rekordobox?

[@djgustavvo]

Depends on your style. Club/electronic music DJ mostly? Rekordbox Open format, Hip hop, RNB DJ? Serato.

[@cedvaan]

No use auto gain 🖐️

[@zero11010]

How long do you think it'll be until AI will start to genuinely replace DJs? It's not there now. For sure. But, remember what AI art was like even a year and a half ago? When it didn't know how many fingers to put on hands and a whole host of other problems? The progress made between then and now where it can do real time video that looks incredibly realistic is HUGE. Most of what happens with music is basically math. That's a thing computer obviously excel with. AI can already recognize genre and mood and common traits between songs. It is capable of a lot more than just fading in and out between one song and another. Advanced transitions and beatmatching different tracks to to long blends wouldn't be far away. How long? 5 years?

Have you ever used mixmeister... Apps can dj better than humans already

[@GamerNycteris]

Beat Jump controls are horrible they should be attached to the pads with lenght without that dumb adjustment in the middle

[@iammoz]

Rane 4 and Performer address this with their layout - beat jump controls are so easy to manage with this layout. You could consider midi-mapping beat jumps to other buttons or dials 😊
