For me the following would make SDJ so much better.

1. 2's Complement, Bug Fixed
2. Master Gain (for SL2, SL3, SL4 users)
3. Remote for Andriod

These are awesome. +1 on these.

BIG number one would be some implementation of a beat and phrase counter.

1. Disk Folder to smart crate
2. Remote for Android
3. Library dynamic filtering tool

1. watch function for an own specified music folder with auto import to collection AND auto analyze
2. beat jump feature
3. SP6 player loading. please give us the option like in Traktor to load an active loop of a deck into a free sample player slot and save this (!) in the sample folder for later usage
4. please change the size of the static wave form or, better, let us decide about this within the setings. right now it´s like reading a book on the kitchen table from a helicopter on a rainy day with fog and without any binoculars. close to be useless as much too small...
5. allow deeper zoom into the wave form for accurate beat gridding
6. enable cue button color on the NS7II
7. improve filtering on the collection and give the option to use the results for actions.
(example from Traktor: library consistency check shows you not analyzed tracks and you can take the missing action for THESE tracks by one button)
8. please support the GPU! makes NO SENSE at all that we all have high perfomance laptops with 1GB or 2GB grafix and the wave form is not smooth as the GPU is unused at all. why I have to reduce the refresh of the wave form to make the audio more stable if at the same time the GPU is sleeping?
9. cover art display in the decks. in each of the views is unused space! use it!
10. record mixes as FLAC files instead of wave. AIFF is, at least in Germany, total unusual...I know nobody who uses this. FLAC is pretty more common, at least due to the tagging options inside.

But, as I don´t like to only wish or complain:
1.7.2 is so far running perfectly for me.
(NS7II, win8.1 64bit)

good job guys!

3 features ahem ahem :)

they are there :)
top 3 and all the stuff you forgot :-D

ahah :) still I can suggest a dozen more… Step by step...

It would make more sense if Serato lists all the points in a survey and collect the opinions there.

for example the top 20 out of this thread in a list where the users can give a +1.
gives them speedy a picture which feature is missed most.

I believe the purpose of your thread is targeting in the same direction...

BUT: It will be a hell to read and analyze it :)

Yeah, if serato will do such a thing and post a survey of some kind it will be excellent.
Till that will happen (or not) Ill take it on myself to read and analyze this thread and give a decent summary at the end.

1. Fix the iZotope FX (Too much distortion on various effects.. does not sound good)
2. Add features (anything really) to the SP6 sampler to make it better and more versatile
3. Fix Flip (Tighter quantization when recording a Flip)

My top 3:

- Quantize / Snap
- Beat Jump
- Flac support with key and cover art

1) MIDI CLOCK send serato.com

2) A completely overhauled sampler (copy Traktor's Remix Decks if you have to...)
serato.com serato.com

3) Post fader effects option for SL3/4, DJM-900SRT, and/or any other mixer that is capable serato.com

1. Post fader FX.
2. MIDI clock
3. Serato Remote for Android.

1. Dynamic filtering of library serato.com
2. Customizable track overview serato.com
3. Play count serato.com

Ha! Totally true. More display customization options in general would be amazing, like:

- choosing display font
- choosing elements of display to show/hide
- resizing display elements
- customizing information shown in track headers, virtual decks

Independent deck speed (33/45 rpm toggles moved back to the decks instead of settings).

on the NS7II the FX are postfader.

?!

1. Wave zoom in to transient level just like ableton would be helpful in beat griding tracks
2. Metronom for beatgriding songs and respects the changes in master tempo
3. Buffer king as afeature

Just tried the new djay pro app, so I'm adding these to the top of my list:

- Retina support
- 64 bit support
- Graphics acceleration

The waveforms in djay are BUTTERY smooth and the GUI is super sharp, it's amazing to compare to the slightly stuttery performance of Serato and Traktor. It's still missing quantize, name-able cue points, and other advanced stuff, but DAMN if it isn't the best looking DJ software currently available.

I think that these are things which serato will do anyway - its kind of an obvious. its not special features - it should be the standard soon. Don't waste you're special feature request on this :)

See, you say that, but considering there are many relatively simple requests that have been on the forum for years (key detection, smart sub crates, etc.) I don't know how obvious mine are, or how soon they're coming. :)

64 bit support, high resolution support and GPU acceleration sound like complicated back-end things to me, but VERY beneficial to the user experience.

All I know though is that right now, a $49 app for "amateurs" (djay) now looks and runs better on my Mac than Serato.

+1 these are very basic, but really important.

Often it's better to get the basic foundations solid (which Serato has always done) before adding complex features. Also the longer this is left the more complicated would become due to feature conflicts and rewrites needed to over come issues caused.

Sometimes where features are concerned, LESS is definitely MORE! For me SDJ above all needs to be (in no order).

1) Simple to use (including all additional features)
2) Clean and uncluttered layout
3) CPU usage as low as possible
4) Stable
5) Accessable to all (regardless of Processor chip set, GPU, Display, Mac, PC and App type)

For me

Beat jump
Remote for android
Quantize snap

Way overdue: an up to date library management (a folder to crate sync) instead of an 1909 import everything by hand.

1.) Midi Clock
2.) Pitch Shift Independent of Speed
3.) Sampling from playing decks

Clearer waveforms
Key transpose

and

oops :)

and

are basically similar. By my understanding its kind of a "heavy process" , which means its tricky to make it work in high quality when using it live. But I maybe mistaken.

Yeah I was tired when I wrote it so I couldn't think of a more concise term but yes.

Its wasn't a bad definition, I was just saying they're both the same. :)

1.) Fix SQ to be as good as SSL
2.) Fix distortion on FX (such as echoes) to be as good as SSL
3.) Extend vertical waveforms to be longer like SSL & increase size of static waveforms for easier readability.

All my 3 votes are for making SDJ stable first and removing all the bugs!

can you specify?
I have the NS7II and the 1.7.2 runs under win 8.1 64bit just charming.
rock stable and under the 1.7.2 I have so far no bugs at all.

Day Mode :)

1. Get rid of those crates in this very uncomfortable format

2. Pitch shift

3. Serato Remote for Android

4. Save loops as samples & Sampling from playing decks

5. I don't like that the sync button jumps whenever you press it, it should only catch once the closest bit for accuracy and thats it. If one's using it for syncing beats when he can't count 1-4 and he presses it till he finds the right one.. then... the sync button won't help him any way.. ;)

Transpose / Pitch Shift
Library Browsing From iPad
Offline "Audition Mode"
Beatjump

Another one I'm thinking of:

- Make all Pioneer CDJs official hardware (not accessories), enabling you to use CDJs in HID mode without having to add an SL2, etc.

That doesn't work with their business model: the software is free, if you bought a piece of supported/licensed hardware. Serato needs to earn money somewhere. They don't get money from CDJ sales. The traktor software is not free, so NI makes money, if you own CDJs or not.

I mentioned on another thread, but a USB dongle/single output soundcard would be a way around requiring a SSL box attached to your computer - this they would get their money back from, that plus you would need to buy the Serato Scratch Licence (as you do currently with supported controllers).

IMHO the dongle should feature a single minijack out for auditioning transitions, and need not be of as high quality as an SSL box - a small soundcard/dongle of that type would cost pittance to manufacture but would be invaluable to existing users and make DJ box setups alot more seamless if you don't need to start pulling RCA's to plug in your SSL box.

If you have CDJ's you should not need to plug their built in soundcard into another soundcard in order for the system to work - the ones already available should be sufficiant. A keychain size dongle would eliminate that requirement and could also allow for an offline, "audition mode" similar to using traktor with a built in Soundcard to try out new tracks - and all without modifying software drastically.

There is a whole forum to suggest new features, the idea of this thread is just to name 3 critics features that you think must be implemented in serato ASAP.

1. change the crates/search type
2. change the crates/search type
3. change the crates/search type

they gotta make better organisation than this whole crates format... It's just not working.

I personally think that the vdj way is the best way for organisation but also traktor has a good organisation format.

It can't be that everytime someone plug a diskonkey to my computer I can't search it well enough, or that if I change locations of folders or add songs or folders I can't see it in the most easiest way.

Stand alone Ipad performance app that works without needing a laptop (like Traktor DJ)

1. Key Transpose!

2. Instant record to sampler

3. 2 decimal point BPM reading

1. Key transpose
2. Key transpose
3. Key transpose

Also, if this post ends up being taken seriously I would suggest sub-categorizing the different requests by:

* User Experience Enhancements (like crate management, UI tweaks, waveform stuff, etc.)
* Missing Core Features (like key transpose, beat jump, etc.)
* Hardware / App Requests (like Android, etc.)

1. AntiShazam function)
2. Offline sampler

WTF is a "AntiShazam" function?

If you mean "prevent the guys to tag the track you play" Serato is without a chance.
As soon as a track is possible to hear, it is possible to tag.

THe only way to prevent this is remix the track like crazy so that Shazam is confused....but will as well not work.
As soon as a refrain comes...DEAD...tagged :)

If your are talking about that AM mode, it is in SDJ now, if I remember right.

AM is "optical", shazam just listen to the sound...

So I believe he is not talking about AM :)

(but I believe as well it was more a joke request and not serious)

You r right)

If Shazam "knows" your music then its not such a secret worth hiding from your audience…
:)

100% mute and shazam is without a chance :)

Would be awesome if these forums had a like button kinda like Facebook so that way serato
HQ can see what the people want more easier due to user likes.

Also still waiting for the roll out fx
and a built in Key Analyzing system within serato.

P.S echo out sounds the same as combo fade.

For me :

1 - allow more use of the software offline - having to drag out a controller to properly beat grid tracks or just play around with FX is a pain. Doesn't need to be much functionality. Two decks would be enough, allow the use of FX for experimenting and that'd do me fine. Maybe have the software intentionally (rather than unintentionally ....) briefly drop the audio level every thirty seconds or so as a protection against pirating.

2 - Proper auto-play

3 - More flexible track-played marking

Mike

Absolutely not.

It's quite easy to set up an online poll. Hopefully there will be one soon for this thread

cmon on ppl keep wishing :)

Hi fellow Serato'ers and Serato employees.

Okay my requests are more aimed towards a specific controller (DDJ-S1) but I will put it up for my wishlist 2015 as some of you might relate to them:

1 - Loop in and out LED's - To function the same as on CDJ's; when a loop is active the lights buttons flash

2- NEEDLE SEARCH LOCK while playing (apparently this is going to be resolved in the nearby future)

3 - Flashing Needle Search Strip warning at end of song (as Itch used to work)


Been waiting whole 2014 for those minor changes

1. Last played/play count view options
2. Loop lock(to use loop roll without deactivating the loop you have set)
3. Better library support for external drives larger than 2TB

hit it.

Cleaner waveforms
Quantize snap
Better library (tags, better search, two way itunes)
Transpose

Support for Karaoke Files with Serato Video ( I hate using Virtual Dj ) I will pay for this addon
Android Remote ( at least for Samsung products)
Save loops to samples banks on the fly to clear the deck ( button by the save loop section and auto play it)

- Store cues and loops by crate rather than track
- Ability to carve up screen elements on to separate monitors e.g. 2 x 7" for decks plus 1 x 12" for library
- Better flac support
- Built in key detection

This is now an option setup unless I've misunderstood.

1. Greater zoom of wave form.
2. Click track.
3. King mode without the Morse code.

Library option: Synch Crates to Folders
Remix Decks: something like Trakt...

1. Midi Clock
2. Better Sampler and the ability to use the sample decks in off line mode
3. Better Editing of samples in the sample decks
4. AU suppor
5. 64bit version
6. The option to sync crates to your folder

1) Native controller re-mapping & save.
2) Bring threading back to product forums.
3) Fix your completely busted sound engine and stop blaming the product manufacturers.

Recording mode the records fader movements and possible offline mode that enables one to edit the fader movements (after recorded, of course).

Integration of song sound styles for unorthodox genres... like itunes genius playlists

Beat jumping..

Loop and autoloop editing/shift/jumping...

Less cpu/mem strain seriously...

Removal of in-app store and make it all entirely part of the next sdj release... for free.

Last but not least, more cow bell.

(1) Hell yes. Remapping native controllers has got to be a priority.
(3) Curious, what do you think is "busted" about the "sound engine"?

There are countless threads on this. To name a few.

'Sounds like old tape head'
'Granular distortion at the trail of activated FX'
'Sound dropping out or clicks & pops'

One was never addressed by Serato staff, the second was said to be 'by design', and the solution they're pimpin to users for the third is to lock the sample rate at a specific rate. In the mean time they're trying to offload the fix on the manufacturers by way of firmware updates that lock in the rates at the cards.

The common denominator here is that it's either your fault, the manufacturers duty to fix, or 'we did that by design'. Who do you know that's perfect? And what is it with people using words like 'think' and 'feel' to describe my absolute observations? Serato staff do that, too. It's insulting. All you need is eyeballs and ears for this.

I have 6 licensed devices here and i'm still using ITCH. If SDJ was so damn dandy, wouldn't I hate moved on by now? This company needs to fix what exists before adding new broken features.

I agree with Fabulous Frequencies. Other than controller DJs, I never see folks use Serato DJ w/ DVS in the wild around the clubs here in Austin, TX. The response when I ask is always the same: SSL has superior sound quality and effects.

Can't wait for them to get this sorted! It's my number 1, as I listed above. :)

Didn't mean to be insulting, just curious about your issues. I've played out with SDJ countless times and it's worked flawlessly for me; no problems with sound quality or pops/clicks. I guess the FX are somewhat a matter of personal taste, but I don't use a whole lot of FX anyway. Sucks that you're going through that though - total headache.



Isn't the sound quality dependent on your interface/the clubs PA setup? The software just plays the files, doesn't it? With keylock off and the gain normalized, wouldn't a track sound precisely the same between SDJ/SSL/Traktor/any other software?

You'd think, but unfortunately it does not. Have a look at this: serato.com

I didn't take offense, i'm just on a tangent.



There's a timed algorithmic process involved in that. Files don't contain sound. They contain bits. There is a decode process, a decoder, and thread priority in the process. They can certainly screw that up from one release to the next and they have.



The infamous Serato response 16 posts down featuring phrases we all know and love, such as:

1) I am surprised by some of these results
2) we've got plans to run some deeper investigations
3) we could potentially make improvements
4) I can't make any promises as to when
5) hopefully at some point soon

You can't make this stuff up.

Interesting. I didn't know this. Thanks for the insight! I still haven't noticed bad sound quality from my MC2000, but it might be different if I could directly compare it to something else.




To be fair, that's the sort of standard customer service language you'd find on any support forum. It's not like they can say, "We will totally solve this complicated coding issue by March. You have my word." But yeah, I wish there was a bit more transparency, "This is a big priority for us, we're working hard on it, hope to have an update out by Q2."

I would like to see for my mobile gigs and weekly karaoke night (that I currently use VDJ)

-Proper autoplay, this is a reality in the mobile world for a lot of people during dinner time.
-Karaoke CDG video support. This will be huge, another piece of market share for Serato.

For the fun stuff...

-Click track in preparation view. Great for beatgriding and Flip.
-MIXTAPE. Now that I have an AMX this would be awesome if they play nice.

Are you having that beat synced? ;-)

Key change ability serato.com

Key lock is exactly the same thing - the only difference with transpose being that the user specifies the shift.

Pretty much every other DJ and Live software already incorporates it already.

Beat countdown to the next cue... - come on - its few just lines of code... ;-)

+1

My first item is already implemented in the beta…
Two more to go for making serato super efficient.

All of these sound great, but I have one that I haven't really seen anywhere. I want to be able to switch to Offline Mode while having my hardware plugged in. My situation is that I use my DJM-900NXS as my audio card for my computer, too; not just my Serato device. If I want to analyze and mess with beat grids and stuff without using the full player, I have to UNPLUG MY SOUNDCARD. This disables me from hearing my music in Offline Mode.

So I guess a way to just switch between Online and Offline mode would be good.

That's a good idea. Maybe the option to have track analysis even in online mode too, then leave it to the user to decide if it's worth it to take the risk of analyzing while a track is playing?

I was thinking though, a good feature for these FORUMS would be a Poll functionality. People could vote up or down features suggested by the community. Features with a lot of votes would stay on top and become a priority for future updates.

I was in the process of setting get up a poll for this very thread on an external polling site. Might actually finish it if I get time

FOR DDJ-S1 ONLY:

1) - Music progress bar back to blink when missing 20 seconds to song finish.
2) - Button FX ON/OFF back to blink in ON when the bank effects are in single mode.
3) - Button Loop IN/OUT back to stay lighted.
4) - The ALPHABET SEARCH function (SHIFT + touch strip) back to work, as in ITCH.
5) - Button LOAD A/B back to blink when a song is loaded in deck. Other suggestion is a any effect with jog LED ring (as DDJ-SX).
6) - REC MODE function back to work, as in ITCH.

FOR SDJ:

1)- AUTO-CUE back to work.
2)- 64-BIT VERSION.

Nice thread, here's my 2 cents:

1) MIDI Clock
2) Offline\Beatgrid mode accessible while the hardware is plugged in. This doesn't have to be immediately accessible like the different views are for performance, but would help a lot for fixing something while practicing.
3) Better automatic beat gridding. This is a distant third, since it's not that much of a pain to fix, but I always have to give my non-House tracks a play through after scanning them to make sure they got beat gridded correctly.

built in key detection, also making it possible to filter on it, and maybe even suggestions by key and bpm etc

- Hide mouse pointer
- Disable keyboard

- BPM and TIME live detection (like VDJ and Traktor) - when music is loaded, SDJ calculates these values. Could be a option in SETUP!

- BEST BPM/grid detection - some songs not have BPM detect corretly yet (this issue has been discussed for years), consequently grid not fit in song corretly. Could be a external plug-in, like PITCH N TIME...

Color coding in off line player in sdj this feature work now in ssl

What are you wanting to color code? I color code cue points and tracks in the offline player

Speaking of colour-coding, being able to colour code CRATES the same way you can colour-code TRACKS would be cool.

I got to the stage when my only request is to improve the sound quality of the SDJ

Open a ticket! It's a bug!

At that point, why have a computer at all?

- VARIABLE BPM OPTION: Very useful for some songs when BPM is not fixed. Variable BPM is used in softwares like Pioneer Rekordbox and CDJ equipment, for example. Actually, SDJ fix a unique BPM value and fit the grid in song, based in BPM. The problem is in some songs (vinyl, acoustic, band, etc) that not have a stable BPM and it can change during music progress!

An example: Let's assume we're playing a song on the Deck A and this is changing the BPM between 125.50 to 126.10. A fixed BPM value would be the predominant value, for example, 126.10 and it is this value that appears in the music TAG. To make the perfect synchronism with Deck B, Deck A assumes the Master function. When there is variation BPM, the same occurs on the Deck B, just as if the move pitch slider.

Maybe this solve Serato BPM detector, that is horrible!

Cheers!

mine are
1/ record line input on ns6
2/ wave size return to normal size after using 4 deck or sampler mode
3/ fire samples from hot cue buttons (itch)
4/ option to search all or just create

Shall we start a poll/online petition for this, like i have for the distortion on the echo out? I can't wait for this to be fixed (if it ever is) so I can get a 57MKII and leave SSL behind. No end in sight on that, however and not direction information or updates from Serato.

-Andrei

What you just described is pretty much exactly how SYNC functions when used with a song that has properly had a Beatgrid defined.

100% Correct.
Serato has an 'elastic' beatgrid - something Traktor users are still crying for.
However, I think RodrigoVolta wants Serato to automatically grid it like that (he don't wanna edit the grids himself)

In Serato DJ manual, it says that if BPM and Beatgrid are already checked when you're in offline mode, in Online mode as soon as you load a track that haven't been analyed, it will analyze it.

Also, in my opinion, analyzing tracks "live" is not a good idea, in any software.

For those who want "Offline mode with hardware plugged in"

Serato 1.7.5 Manual, page 50:

"Loading tracks With No Beatgrid
Loading a track with no Beatgrid will disable Sync for that deck.
A Beatgrid will be created for un-analyzed tracks if ‘Set Auto BPM’ and ‘Set Beatgrid’ are enabled in the
Offlne Player.
SEE SET AUTO BPM AND SET BEATGRID FOR MORE INFORMATION.
Once a Beatgrid has been created you can then press Sync to engage Beat Sync.
If ‘Set Beatgrid’ is not enabled in the Offlne Player, then only a BPM value will be created and Sync will not
be available for that track.
If a track has previously been analyzed, but has no Beatgrid, then Serato DJ will not create a new Beatgrid
for that track.
TIP: Manually add a Beatgrid for tracks to enable Sync functionality for that deck.
SEE BEATGRIDS FOR MORE INFORMATION."

Oh... I have another idea. As in T...

A Loop do NS6.

Rane TTM57 MKII

leider kann man die Midi Funktionen nicht selber mappen,
leider kann die Belegung der zwei Sticks nicht geändert werden,

... no mapping. i need it

leider gibt es in Serato DJ keine Masterausgangspegel Einstellung mehr, gab es bis Version 1.x .... hat aber nix mit den Mixer zu tun, ist Software halt

... no master volume gain. i need it

leider sind die Fader Reverse Buttons & Channel Swap zu Hoch, kommt man schnell mal ran und dann ist Mukke auf einmal aus

... great problem reverce button under cue phones, button too high
easy to touch the button, then of music
i wish/need/will flat buttons to change, to kill the problem

leider ist die Helligkeit der Led-Beleuchtung nicht Einstellbar, sind echt Hell

... brightness of the Led lighting is not adjustable. i wish, need it

beim button FlexFX wenn man den drückt und dieser dann aufleuchtet ist die musik weg, habe am mixer hinten Flex Loop Send und Return chinch gebrückt, dann bleibt die musik an, denke externe hardware werden die wenigsten noch anschließen, haben bzw nutzen

... push FlexFx button (light on), music off ... bridge LooP Send Return chinch, music remains on
button midi suitable? if yes, i wish function for midi control

vinylcontrol zum nächsten lied mit drehen "next song on flip" geht beim mkII auch nicht

... no vinylcontrol to the next song with turn "next song on flip"
does not go with TTM 57 MKII, i wish, need it

::: ::: ::: ::: in memory of: buttons (FlexFX and Faders) risky keys ::: ::: ::: :::

Please remove the requirement for Quicktime to be installed in order to import AAC encoded audio (M4A container (aka: VLC)).

Bonus points if FAAC can be implemented to allow for playback (see: VideoLan Player).

Side note: the above applies to Windows only as Quicktime is part of OS X. However, I tend to do most of my crate work in Windows using an NTFS-formatted drive, and do actual playback in OS X when DJing.

No. Not is this.
Do you have used Rekordbox any time?
I invite you to use it once and shall establish that what I'm saying.
Even if you using the SYNC function, the music will not be perfectly synchronized, since the BPM varies during the same.
My proposal is that the Beatgrid can be set at any song without leaving point. And this is possible only in two scenarios: First, where the music is fully electronic and the second where there may be detection of variable BPM. Otherwise, most of the songs will not have the Beatgrid set correct!

So true...

in offline player mode allow to set cues with the keyboard numbers 6,7 & 8 as well.

would be cool when you press 6 on the keyboard to add cue point 6 :)

1) Folder Smart Crate (Auto-import new tracks in a folder on a drive)
2) Support for the Stems format
3) 64-bit support
4) Retina support

- How about a budget SDJ sound card? Something around $100.

My thought is that it would be designed more for use with slimline controllers and non-club kit mixers as opposed to DVS. Wouldn't need to include control vinyl, DVS upgrade or a standalone license (to keep the cost down). This would be for people who just want to use SDJ with whatever mixer is available (and a small secondary controller or HID).

Even the new "cheap" SDJ card (the DS1) is $299, marked up to $499 in Canada! An Audio 2 is $100. How does that make sense?

@RodrigoVolta
I still don't quite understand your request.
If you take the time to "manually" set your beatgrid for the tracks that drift,
then the bpm of your manually gridded track will fluctuate accordingly & sync will work fine.
Are you requesting that SDJ recognizes & adjusts the beatgrid automatically, thereby eliminating the need for us to grid the drifting tracks manually?
I wouldn't have faith in any software to do that 100% correctly.

I use rekordbox and is not all that. Variable BPM still need some hands-on, so does sdj.

Also, why is everybody worried with sync button? Maybe those so worried about it, should practice more beatmatching in ANY kind of songs, edm, hiphop, r&b and so on.

Another problem I see: most djs dont know the music their playin, de intros outros etc... know the music and you'll forget sync

Well I'm happy to say that 1.7.6 on a Win8 core i5 doing video is MUCH more stable than previous releases. For future improvement, let me please add:

1) Barely visible [Autoplay] button placement (what, there? I had no idea...) moved back to the top beside the Rec /FX / SP-6 / Video grouping would be good), and also take the [My Serato] button up top also, expanding the most important tracklisting area.

2) Bigger vertical waveform view as per serato.com
The horizontal matching wave guide can be removed/ toggled off in this view to help accomplish this.

3) Serato DJ Day Mode as per serato.com
This mode should just be a toggle button in the GUI.

4) Track play count as per serato.com

Thanks team and keep up the good work!

The only thing 64 bit would bring to the table is support for even bigger libraries. Something that SDJ delivers already.
The downside however would be the need of new hardware drivers which would eliminate every single piece of hardware that aren't developed anymore (incl. all Vestax controllers as the company went bankrupt).

So not...

Fluctuating BPM (whether it's turntables, handmade music, or intended by the producer) has nothing to do with beat matching skills.

Actually, 64-bit support will enable you to use more than 4 GB of ram...

Sorry if already mentioned, but having 2 additional FX banks or units would be great.

Currently, I have FX 1 in Echo single effect mode, and FX 2 in multi FX; however, I would prefer to have at least 2 FX units be single, 1 for multi, and another for random live manipulation.

Thanks
