The best serato studio tutorial yet

[@djvibedjservices]

I'm a simple DJ. I see Cleveland Terry vids, I smash the play button. Keep up the great work and content!!

[@PolymerJones]

dude, THANK YOU for putting this out. it's hard to find information on using this software

[@DJBennyswift]

Very helpful video, last night I was messing with Serato Studio on an older tune and wondered how to maneuver around it to brush up the song, and today I see this…Thanks CT!!!

[@CitizenGeeMan]

Awesome video, thank you. I can't wait to pack a punch on some of my favorite classics.

[@ScojoDak]

Thanks CT. I'm going to have many late nights.

[@wharfier]

As always, great video. Thanks for explaining things so we all can grasp it. I just recently downloaded Serato Studio and am excited to dive into it. Thanks again!

[@ONEHENDRIX]

Love your show bro. Probably the most informative DJ tech channels available.

[@prankster23456]

wow the way you breakdown things is so understandable espeically with the help of the video editing bravo

[@ClevelandTerry]

Appreciate that.

[@stilo8505]

Great details!

[@marcoramos5923]

AWESOME THANKS FOR THE TUTORIAL C T , I THINK I WILL ORDER SERSTO DJ STUDIO . GREAT INFO !

[@sike1dj]

Serato studio seems pretty bad ass. The ease of use reminds me of reason or fruity loops in a sense. I may have to look into this. Thanks CT.

It's related more to Ableton than that terrible program Fruity Loops.

[@ahmeddemha]

I highly recommend SS. It's fun and I've made numerous reworks and original tracks on it so far. It's definitely easier to use than Abelton.

[@m-chopbeats7526]

it's the easiest by far

[@RealDealy]

The Roland controllers are perfect for this, but I wonder if they are able to stay in tempo with songs that drift a little or do you have to keep changing the bpm manually?

[@ClevelandTerry]

Beat grids are your friend.

[@bigdaz7272]

As Terry says its all about putting that 'boring' time in to make sure your Beat Grids are on point all throughout the Tune. Then once your done for example just add 4x4 Kick in the Roland Sequencer and hit sync on the Sequencer and it will sync to the playing Track all day. As the Track speeds up and slows down by a few BPM because you Beat Grid now perfectly matches the BPM change you Kick on the Seqencer will match this change because its Synced to the Beat Grid. I have done this a few times with old Funk tracks and Reggae that are all over the place BPM wise.

[@RealDealy]

@@bigdaz7272 appreciate the knowledge. Internet is a beautiful thing

[@DJJIMMY214]

Is it possible with this software to do , let's say, 65 bpm w/130 or will the key not allow it.. thanks

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

i am pretty bad at getting beat grids right on rock tracks .The side chain tool sounds useful .I may give that a go on future mashups .Which im having a lot of fun with right now but i do have an issue sometimes with things getting drowned by bass.These are useful tutorials though

[@1STSUN5THCHILD]

Do you have a tutorial or can you make one showing how to separate and bounce out stems? And can you do this with the free version?(I have the paid version)

[@nogva1]

Why is the sound of the main song gone when im pressing play and I only hear the single sounds?

[@hot4futureyears2come]

Great stuff man.

[@mangadolo]

Is as on this til 2am last night mixing an interview! 🤦🏽‍♂️😃

[@snip_king428]

What if the beat is wayyyy off, how can you fix the grid then???

[@stilo8505]

Can you do this with virtual dj?

[@blackgold6342]

Please remastered the song (Growing Up - By Gary Valenciano

[@djfalong]

I would've used that off beat 1/2 way through bar 4 even soul or rnb.

[@geebee44]

useful! thanks

[@DJ_I_Nine_Five]

Where is the edit at CT

[@modishmark]

Cool tutorial Terry, many thanks!!! I was wondering if to get everything lined up on grid that using Ableton and warping the track might be an alternative. Any opinions? I love ableton but serato is quick and intuitive, I’m torn between the best way to do these re-edits. Thanks in advance!

[@bboymac84]

Ableton is wayyy more accurate and faster in terms of selecting notes, dragging notes, using your keyboard to move the notes and shifting the notes up and down an octave. I do like how serato studio has the global keynote finder. That's handy. That's its ace in the whole. But they need to fix that quantize feature, having to play your notes each time is a clunky workflow. you should be able to select you note and quantize them to the grid after you enter the notes so they snap to the grid. That's a necessity!!!!

[@modishmark]

@@bboymac84 thanks fella!!!

[@bboymac84]

Wish they fix the quantize so you can highlight the notes and snap them to the grid after you enter the notes rather than having to play them in each time. small qwerks like this make serato studio flow very slow. plus you cant drag notes and shift up an octave. very sloo0o0w flow.

[@ClevelandTerry]

What do you mean you can’t drag notes up an octave?

[@bboymac84]

@@ClevelandTerry you have to click everything in. The workflow is slow and clunky. You can't use the arrows to move notes.

Nice Video T

[@djcoalcut9399]

How in the world did I miss this video. Awesome tutorial 👌!!! I'm wondering, will this allow me to simply add some phat bass to disco/70s funk tracks? I don't want to remix the songs but just make the low end hit harder. Those 70's tunes have some incredible baselines but don't hit hard or go low enough?

[@ClevelandTerry]

You could definitely do it with studio.

[@jsolethedj]

Dope!!!
