Mad respect for being able to admit when you don’t know something. If I can trust you. I can learn from you. Subbing!

[@visualassimilation7135]

Beautiful thought

Chris, Your Avatar is Uber cool! If I'm not mistaken it's Alexander the Great. I'm one who highly respects the past, ancient cultures. I even started from Ancient Mesopotamia, came forward all the way to today. Took me awhile to do this.

[@djreplay9765]

I had to stop in the middle of the video to give major props. 50% percent of this presentation upped my knowledge 100%. Thanks for a great tutorial and the passion you for DJ'ing that you display. I'm going to fire up my gear and start from the beginning and go through each step with you. Thanks

[@djAXCESSmusic]

Thanks for writing that, friend. That means a lot! Any other topics you would like me to cover?

[@djreplay9765]

@@djAXCESSmusic Honestly, whatever you decide to cover is of interest to me. More than the actual topic is the DJ mindset that is delivered. The instruction is only as good as the practice and dedication one puts in. But the mindset lasts much longer. In this particular video, Serato DJ Pro is demystified and goes from being a challenge to a tool and you don't have to tell me that was the purpose...that comes through clearly on its own. One more time...Thank you friend, the challenges we all face today, and whatever the result, time has become important and the time spent working on this activity that I love is time well spent. Be well.

[@basilsealy9730]

I've used Serato for about 10 years now and learned most of it myself or from fellow DJ's. I wish they had this when I started out, its an excellent tutorial! Keep up the good work Axcess.

Really useful and done with cool :)

[@tjsongman]

Gotta say a big THANKS young man! I've been using Serato for nearly 10 years. Mostly Weddings and corporate events...just using my MacBook and a mixer for simple beat match/crossfades. Just got my first controller (DDJ SX3) and am really getting into the musical art of DJing. Have never really had the time to go through all the settings, but stumbled upon your video. 30 minutes with you solved many of my frustrations with the program over the years. Much appreciated. Earned yourself a Like and a "Sub"! 👏 👏 👏

[@SThompsonRAMM_1203]

Thank you Mike! I have been DJing since 1979 and while I only do an average of 1 gig a year anymore for friends and family I still enjoy breaking out the gear. I use the same system and while I know only enough about Serato to be dangerous I really enjoyed your video and will apply some of your suggestions. Thank you again for an awesome walk-through!

[@leyvajoe]

Good tutorial brother. Loved that you used your experience in describing and explaining the reasons behind your settings.

[@danielbreeze1813]

When playing a track, is there not a section where it tells you what other tracks in your library will mix in to that key like rekordbox??

[@djAXCESSmusic]

There is a section that populates with either the key or the camelot code. the color of each key shows as well

[@chrisreese6825]

FYI I find sync useful when mixing two tracks that might have a very different tempo such as going from 70 to 100. It'll lock the incoming track and allow you to smoothly change both songs at the same time.

[@djAXCESSmusic]

For sure. Definitely requires some practice!

@@djAXCESSmusic Awesome!! thanks

[@876martinn]

Thanks bro. As a beginner that just bought this srt1000 and had some distorted/breaking noise coming from my speakers which i never had with the sb3, but obviously there were some issues that I wasn't aware of, because the red/yellow light was always flashing in the top right corner. The information you provided about latency was enough to address the noise situation. I still have some yellow and red lights flashing maybe I need to reboot the cpu.

[@djAXCESSmusic]

glad to hear it helped. make sure your computer has adequate specs.

Great educational video bro, my question is how do you adjust the latency on the Pioneer DDJ-SX3, platter? If my finger ever so lightly brush across the platter, it does a musical break, I've tried moving the switch on the front of the unit to the far left and back to the far right, with no success. I would appreciate your help, Thanks in advance!!!

Hi when I'm playing a track in serato some tracks just cut out and come back in what's the problem.

[@joshwurzburg7683]

How are you in INT Mode on the SRT 1000 and how do you have the DVS calibration boxes on the sides of your dj preferences page? Thanks

[@foreverbeauty90]

How do I get my microphone to work under mixer??

[@jdmscooob]

Really good in depth tutorial! The only thing I didn't see mentioned is the thing that's baffling me most. I've just got Serato so the version is at most 2 months newer than the version used in this tutorial. Everyone (ive watched other tutorials too) seems to have their wavebars (the coloured squiggly bits) running top to bottom and much smaller. Mine run left to right the full screen length. Is it better having them run top to bottom? And is it just drag and drop to move them?

[@djAXCESSmusic]

you select you view at the top of the screen. Look for the button that says "horizontal" and change that to "vertical"

[@djfaithfullibofficial4413]

Is macOS Catalina 10.15.6 compatible with Serato DJ Pro 2.3.8? And did they take away iTunes?

Hi, nice info. I can't activate my mixer options in serato dj pro. Why is that

[@djAXCESSmusic]

what mixer are you using?

[@farmerrebbla]

@@djAXCESSmusic it is an Ecleree nuo 2.0

[@alezpiranessi]

Hi guys! I have the same problem. I've just bought a MIXARS PRIMO and have no "mixer" option. I can't see the pitch faders on serato either. It is my first time using it so it may be a silly thing.

[@farmerrebbla]

@@alezpiranessi sofar what I gathered is that only some mixers have the option to record the microphone alongside the music. Since I use turntables I'll most likely need an external device to rec. Some say audacity can be used but I have not figured out how to through the computer I oly get it recorded through the computers mic and the quality is then not good

[@alezpiranessi]

@@farmerrebbla thanks for your reply. I have just figured out I have the "mixer" option on my serato dj pro. What I need to know now is how to enable the pitch fader on serato software. It seems to be a pay package though.

[@gregmurray2908]

Great tutorial. Thank you.

[@The_Ambassador-xx6qe]

Great info. I wanted to know what would be the best settings to use Serato Video when live streaming. Some my videos are jumpy when playing and when I live stream wanting to know what settings work best with all videos. Also I wanted to know what is the best affordable mixer to use when using Serato Video? I have the Denon DJ DS1 DVS interface with a Behringer DDM 4000 mixer. I know that it is old school but the mixer will not change Video from one deck to the next. What can I do to make all these problems complete. Thank You In Advance...

[@djAXCESSmusic]

I havent used Serato Video in a long time but your mixer has to have a digital fader in order to connect to the software. Your current mixer might not support that. Thanks for watching!

[@thisdj83]

I find it funny how people have a problem with sync but don’t have a problem with all the other settings that essentially do the same thing which is to help make things easier.

[@reignman-31x23]

There's a controversy because it all started from analog when you had to exercise your ability to hear the music not have a button find it for you, ALL DJ's need to have a ear for the music brah and the technique is coming back and those who teach are pushing it hard.
