13 Serato DJ settings you need to check NOW!

[@RodwinWatson-n6b]

There were some great tips there. I have been using Serato since it came out but it has evolved a lot and gotten so much better. Enables me to do much better mixing than I did in 1979 when I started.

[@djmp]

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

[@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

Thanks! Most of them i did know. The last one is great especially for custom crates 👍🏻

[@w200iandres]

Cool, thanks for the info, just got my flx4 and used Serato dj pro because from all of the programs I tried, it was the less resouce consuming for my windows laptop (matebook d40 2020amd) Recordbox and was too much for her 😂 and theres many more info for that platform. But i really like serato dj pro. It's been really easy to start with! I hope I can keep learning here!

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!

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

[@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!

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

[@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💛🙂

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.

[@davidcummings5984]

This info is vital esp blenders like house Djs ( im a big fan of how house djs mix , segway pld schl ) but my style is to try to match old schl tape pause mixing , jar , juxtaposition intentional unequal sounds create off beats .So with that in mind is it vital for me to follow this advice or change settings to my style ? . Im thinking no just apply the advice here and do it manually by ear .So at least when I want the break to come in on time which on occaision i do with this advice make my mixes powerful & flexible .

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.

I have finally upgraded to Serato DJ Pro fter using Serato DJ Intro for 10 years. What frustrates me is I can't figure out a way to have the waveforms going the full length of the screen (left to right) while also having a "prepare" box underneath. I can do it easily with Serato DJ Intro. I can do it easily with Serato DJ Lite. But as far as I can figure out this doesn't seem to be an option with Serato DJ Pro. It keeps telling me there's not enough space on the screen, even though I'm using the exact same laptop. Do you know if there is a way to do it?

[@MrZinnerman]

It's telling you, on your screen, you have to many things open and it can't fit. You have something in the middle of your screen open such as files, sampler, view, etc, click of those and library size on the screen. You have pro, so you can send in a request for help, they will answer, but close unnecessary windows on hardware screen

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?
