Old school vinyl DJ here. This is so complex. It was so easy just to drop the needle & beat match by ear. Wish me luck

[@TheDJConnect]

NOOOOOO MY BROTHA!!!! It is sooooooooooooo easy and straight forward! I'm def a 100% old school vinyl guy too when I started What are you getting hung up on? There are def a few settings you need to figure out to make it "your own" But not many at all, and its truly plug and play right out the box Once you setup your crates (Imagine every single crate you make is truly a record crate) Put the tracks you want in each crate, sort it the way you like, And than just the tracks in ! Start slow and if you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out bro!! Good luck!!

[@elissitdesign]

Same here. Vinyl since 98’ You’ll be fine! The learning curve is fast! I learned it years ago using Serato control records and 1200s. It was a nice bridge going full digital.

[@TheDJConnect]

@@elissitdesign YESSSSSSSSSsssssss Ya i definitely started on scratch live, With control records. I honestly could never imagine going back, (like to records) Serato is just such a game changer I was talking with a friend about an all in 1 unit, and I remember theres no sampler or anything, He has to program in the sames to cue pts or something, Whatever he said, just seems like so much extra work. At this point I've said it time and time again, It's not even the controller or anything, The most important piece of my gear is the laptop. Serato is everything for me

[@sunsaint4317]

"enable play count" has a huge impact on PC's performance, Sometimes even with serato's software stability. Specially if you are streaming and have alot of other apps opened as well. Basically is WRITING LIVE on your hdd/ssd, the song you have playing atm. That together with with 1ms-2ms buffer can create stutters and eventual crashes. My advice keep it if serato is only one app running, disable if if you have many apps that run at same time.

[@TheDJConnect]

That's interesting! Never have had an issue at all with playcount, let alone serato stability, I usually am running a stream, recording, serato, and 100 google tabs open, and don't have crashes But good to know about play count!

I’m not a beginner. But I wanted to get a fresh look at Serato. If I were a beginner this would be frustrating for me. The number of features you pass over as ‘just do this’ and others where you don’t even describe them. You just say ‘I have other videos’. It would be minimal to just describe them for the beginner who has not seen other videos. That’s the point of a ‘beginner’ video

That shouldn't be possible, it should stop well before you can pull files down too far. It stays this way when you restart the program?

Thank you!!! Whats up??

[@DJ_MARIANO]

rip DJ AM but I think AM mode is in reference to like AM/FM radio not sure tho

[@TheDJConnect]

hahahahha VERY POSSIBLE!!! The story I was always told, is he hated people scoping his screen, so they created an easter egg for him It was enabled by using Alt + M, so that would come up with the "am mode" as well, I guess we're going to have to get serato on to finally tell us the real story!

To many issues with serato dj pro it's a ripoff for small and upcoming dj artists the best and cheapest program out as far as I'm concerned is virtual dj pro hands down compatible with any computer old or new and also all hardware that's my opinion.

[@TheDJConnect]

Lol my friend The fact that you said "too many issues" with serato, Proves you know absolutely nothing Serato has 0 issues. Virtual DJ is the worst But do you bro

[@TheDJConnect]

Just wondering if it has so many issues, What 100% of professionals use it ?

[@typhfanuwu7526]

⁠@@TheDJConnectbecause companies get sponsorships so all famous dj use it and I had more issues with serato dj pro then virtual dj

How to Download serato Dj pro for free

[@TheDJConnect]

You have to own a controller that unlocks it. Rev7 Sx, sx2, sx3 Sr 1000srt Anything like that

[@StickyIckyProductions]

All these non stop talking how to videos are no good to us. Do a very detailed step by step how to video, I am having the hardest time trying to learn how to use this program. I can see my music but it will not let me drag and drop it to the top, I need to open my music folder and drag and drop from there. I only want to use my music from my folder NEVER will I have the need to use the other features. DJ Pro free trial is up for me but can I still use the program or should I switch over to DJ Lite

[@TheDJConnect]

Shift + left and shift + right

[@TheDJConnect]

I personally would never buy it Lite is the same Once you buy a decent controller, pro comes unlocked for free Just wait for that I'd say

You're probably on serato lite maybe

[@standrewsgolfcluboperation6378]

Serato has crashed with me a number of times.

[@TheDJConnect]

What happened ? What kind of controller are you using ? Where does your music come from ?

[@standrewsgolfcluboperation6378]

@@TheDJConnect it crashed with me on my Macs and froze on me with windows. All my music are from pools and cd rips. The problem with serato from my observation is that it's simply heavy on computer resources and generates a lot of heat so over a period of time that can lead to problems.... and it has with many. There are vids that show this to be a fact. There are bugs in all earlier versions and we know cause with every update they mention 'bug fixes'. They won't tell u the present versions hv bugs too until it's fixed. The last thing it has done with a friend of mine who had a well specced laptop was the delay in the waveforms not showing on the screen as fast as the tracks were moving which resulted in no audio from the song when the visible part of the waves passed the centered wave marker.

[@TheDJConnect]

@@standrewsgolfcluboperation6378 If you're using a laptop that is overheating for DJing, That means you need a new laptop. If you're a professional, you need professional gear. That's the cost of doing business.

Slip mode allows you to manipulate the platter at you want , and have the playback go right back to the position it should have been at....... Not sure why I would even answer that to someone so rude, But you're welcome
