I just started using the "Prepare" tab. It comes in handy when you get requests at gigs. Just drag the song into the tab and it'll save the song for later when you're ready to play the song 🙌🏾
CEE B, Thank You Very Much for making this vid and all the others. I haven't used Serato for years and I want to get back into DJing, so this has been a HIUGE help. Thanks Again Bud!
Performance Pad view goes back to Scratch Live.. The cue points were sorted that way before DJ Controllers were a thing… When DJ Controllers became more popular, Serato wanted the layout to match the pads, but also didn’t want to piss off people who were used to that layout. I didn’t mind it, but swapped it when I got a controller as I liked it to match what was on the hardware….it did take some getting used to, but at the end of the day, I am glad I switched. However, I get why people don’t change things… as I am usually in that school of thought, but this made sense to me…. This has been your old man DJ history lesson!!!!! Bonus fact… really old sub controllers, like Dicers and HCS1000 had the cue points in stacked order as well… which is probably why Scratch Live even had them setup in this fashion in the 1st place…..
When activating “Playback Use Shift” I’ve found that when you turn on “Caps Lock” you won’t have to hit shift to activate your sound effects or cue points. It’s a quick way to bypass hitting shift.
A few other posts here have mentioned it already but what is bang on here is the no-nonsense descriptions. So many other tutorials make wild assumptions about viewers' pre-existing knowledge. This tutorial is clear and concise and the video editing supports the commentary brilliantly. Had no idea about 'auto gain' (😬) but, since I like to play a lot of old school house tracks, it's really handy to know. (That said, I guess I have got to know the tracks well enough now!) Just one thing, it's "turned" not "turnt" 😬. Great video. I've subscribed.
Wow. Thanks so much for making these videos easy to understand and follow along. I had some issues with the reverse thing and this completely fixed it.
Good to know… There is a bug with CDJ3000s and Serato 3 where the cue points intermittently don’t show on the track overview at the bottom of the touch screen (and apparently the same bug in on the s11 also), but the quickest workaround is to eject the track and re load it as when it does this, it only does it the first time you load the track until you start the software again. I MIDI mapped some buttons to eject the track to quickly re load it again…. So this is GREAT to know!!! Thanks!!!!!!
Auto gain works ...most of the time but when you get to know your tracks you may find some do not respond to auto gain so well so they are either too high or too low .Usually too low.Most will be ok but its something to watch out for.Of course analyzing your music will help.
Cue points is an essential tool as you can re edit a track the way you need it .You can shorten a track to about two minutes on most opo songs and then down to four or five minutes on longer tracks.Only fans music nerds or trainspotters will notice the difference if you do it right but it helps to have a thing called flip which saves the way you played your cues and loops as a dj cant remember hundreds of tracks cues and loops so flip is a useful add on to hot cues
You mention a bunch of settings getting tuned on. Do you have any idea what the performance and heat costs of these settings are? You had a story about the software crashing. Could that have been because you were in a hot room and your system was overtaxed or over heated? I’m curious about your MacBook hardware and how this is running. You’ve got a pro. What year is it? Do you have any upgrades to the RAM? What are the issues you run into as your system starts to chug?
i wish i watched this video 2 weeks ago!!tip #2 could have saved my life,play in reverse "Q" fucked me over in the middle of a wedding set &it took me time to figure out how to fix it hahaha!after that day&i kept searching how to disable this feature haha
Number 9 is library text size. Just curious. Would an AR or VR interface be useful? You wouldn’t be restricted to a 14 or 16 inch MacBook screen. I’m assuming that for gigs an AR interface would be better so you still had situational awareness and the ability to interact directly with people around you. For a streamed gig or practice/exploration VR feels like it would work fine.
good vid. common sense tips. the only thing i thought you should have mentioned was that High res display is very cpu intensive. My macbook pro 2014 for instance cant really handle this setting turned on. it seems to make a huge impact on cpu usuage, as does most display related settings such as screen updates etc.
ty so much for the informations, i have the problem that some tracks that worked completly fine now ending on half of the time. didnt find anything that help me with this issue. maybe u have an idea?
On the Sampler, is it possible to have Bank A play on the left side of the controller and Bank B play on the right side of the controller (so I could have 16 samples ready). It only lets me have one bank selected at once which means both sides of the controller play the same thing.
HI CANU HELP ?i recently just got have the MacBook Pro M1 1TB 16 ram I have all the latest updates . I’ve notice it’s lagging /freezing the serato . U reckon it’s my latency ? I checked and it’s set on 10 . Shall I bring it down to 1 ? I’m using pioneer 1000SRT
Bring it down to 5 usb buffer size, turn off WiFi and Bluetooth and have nothing else running on your machine Are you also using a external hard drive for your music ?
I remember my track playing in reverse and not knowing what key I pressed... I thought I had clicked in the search box and typed thes song title which must have had a q in it.. So I just typed the song title again and it went back to normal.. I don't remember if the other characters in the title did anything, but I got through it... lol
I just got a rane one I use a hp laptop carried it to Best Buy they made it 16 GB and a new ssd in it I still get a lag move the buffer up and down still get a little lag
I’m trying to explain is the best I can every song the volume is different. Is there anyway that you can press the button all the volumes on all the songs are the same when you load a track
Hi, when using my microphone on Serato ddj-sx the track volume decreases. Can i override this setting so the volume of the track which is playing is not affected?
I’m having an issue with no sound coming from DDj-Rev1. I can get sound to come from my Mac speakers but not the mixer to the speakers. Anyone have any troubleshooting tips. I’ve tried a lot & can’t find a resolution. Thanks!
Been djing for about 2 years now and thought I knew everything about Serato.. Always good to learn more, cheers bro!
No worries bro. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Awesome thanks 🙏🏻
I've been DJing for 4-5 years and never knew what a lot of these settings did.... so thank you!
CEE B,
Thank You Very Much for making this vid and all the others. I haven't used Serato for years and I want to get back into DJing, so this has been a HIUGE help.
Thanks Again Bud!
We’re U able to get back into djing ??
MAN.... THANK U SO MUCH, I've been dragging my feet, because it seemed 2 overwhelm me, THIS tutorial 👊🏾♥🤟🏾
Yes to a video on cue points. Thank you!

As a former scratch live and dicer user I concur 100% 👏🏼

Lit...🔥
I like the play count on because sometimes I wanna bring the crowd back into it and the ones I play the most are the ones that get the party going
So true 🎉
Great video, just started using Serato after years on Traktor, so this was extremely beneficial!
Me too glad it helped 🎧
All tips were helpful. The reset tracks feature is what I was looking for.
Thanks for watching!
It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.

That’s what I said great job 👏

No worries. Glad I could help!
you missed Cmd Z undoes a track load, if you were to load on the wrong deck. lifesaver.
How can I forget this gem!

Great Video, I didn't realize how much this would change my Serato Dj experience. Thanks bro appreciate it!
Great video straight to the point my brother! Text size 2 WTH!! You got good eyes!!
This is an awesome video man. Really good job walking through the software and equally explaining it all out. Solid!
great vid! clear to the point and visuals are great!
Nice video as always, if I missed it do a video how you set your cue points
There’s one on my channel!

i really apreciate your help with dowloanding this software

Installed, everything works, thanks!
Great job on the tutorial
Thanks for watching!
Woah, great video mate!
So informative, thanks a lot!

Really helpful as a newbie. Thanks
you got a sub for this buddy!
Hot cues are suitable for mixing and transiting one song to another. Smart sync is better than simple sync.
my fav and tysvm for this tutorial it was helpful❤️
Outstanding video!! Thanks DJ!

Funny you mentioned pressing Q lol today I was DJing and all of a sudden my music went backwards and I was BEWILDERED trying to figure out why hahaha
LOOL honestly every dj has had that happen to them atleast once!
