It will be compatible with OS X El Capitan ?

no veo nada a cerca de estabilidad y compatibilidad con OSX El Capitan, Cuando van a lanzar una versión que sea 100% compatible con El Capitan?

No this release will not officially support Mac OS X El Capitan. We're currently working together with our hardware partners to investigate the connection and audio issues being reported so these can be resolved for another upcoming Serato DJ release.

Woohoo!!! been waiting for this one for a while!

actualmente utilizo scratch live pero con esta actualización 1.7.8 de serato dj la descargue ya que me parecio interesante pero al instalarla automáticamente me tira los drivers de scratch live y me las instala solo para serato dj o viceversa y estuve revisando la pagina y por lo que dice ahí es que SI podría instalar los LOS DOS PROGRAMAS EN UNA MAQUINA y utilizar el que yo quiera pero jamas habla de desisntalar uno de los dos, alguien podría ayudarme con esto.

It's ok for ddj sx ????

Is there any reason why, there is no fade into next track or some option for that. Me and many dj's in my area want this. My cd player ten years ago had this option. I'm sure its a simple thing to have.


(And please don't say to mix dinner music. That is not an option for mobile dj's. I cannot dj for 10 hours, for background music)

Will this support the use of real keys or just those silly "Camelot" codes?

Yep, the DDJ-SX is a Serato DJ Enabled controller :)

sam.

You can choose to display key in either Camelot, Classical, Open Key or what's already in your tags :)

Options my friend, options.

sam.

actualmente utilizo serato scratch live pero me parecio interesante la actualización de serato dj 1.7.8 la descargue y la instale pero automáticamente me tira los drivers de scratch live y me las instala solo para serato dj, rebice la pagina y dice que si se puede instalar los dos programas en una sola maquina y utilizar el que uno quiera pero jamas habla de desintalar uno de los dos

Would really like some info about future support for configuring lights on Novation's Launchpad MINI, is there anything in the works?

For get that ........WHAT ABOUT STEMS!!!!!!!!!!

All I can say is ABOUT TIME! This was one of the features I used the most in other DJ software (to be honest it gets tiring to reanalyze the entire library for key detection with other programs). I'll be expecting the next update. Thanks guys.

How about Serato Pyro @ErnieA ?

This is great news! Good bye to Mixed In Key! ut my question is will I have to re-analyze all of my songs for Serato DJ to adds it`s own key information, or will it detect the current key information already on the file that MIK put in?

It will detect and display any previous key info that is in your tags. You can then just choose to analyse only the music in your library without key info, or re-analyse everything. It's up to you.

If you have different key tags throughout your library, our key display will be helpful too as it will let you display everything in one single format, depending on what you like to use :)

sam.

Did you change slip mode behaviour while pressing cue button?

Till end of Oktober no support for El Capitan...
That sucks!

Are the USB issues with controllers in Yosemite fixed (dropout and forward spin)?

Is Vestax 380 Remappable?

Very glad to hear this, thanks.

saludo a la comunidad Serato Dj esperamos ansiosamente el 1.8 para seguir colocando la mejor musica.

What about retina display resolution?
Its annoing to mix seeing a lot of pixels
Thanks

Is Vestax Vci380 midi mappable in 1.8???

Thanks Serato Dj this is a game changer.

Hey BleedR

Yes, we have a potential fix for that issue in Serato DJ 1.8.

And yes, the VCI-380 will be re-mappable :)

Aaron

Thank God, about time.

Well done Serato, keep it up.

Is there any more progress on the addition of windows 10 to the supported OS list?

All my music is already analyzed and in key. Sounds like Serato dj 1.8 only adds the ability to color keys?

Is there a way in 1.8 to just analyze the key without disturbing the previous beat grid? That's important to me since most of the songs I play were not quantized.

Thanks

Still no MIDI Clock output. :( Sad Panda

Hey Aaron H (nice name)

We hope to be announcing support for Windows 10 very soon.

Aaron

It's still definitely on our radar Code:E, just not quite yet sorry.

Aaron

Ha-ha, thanks

Sooooo, like the end of October??? :)

Are the dicers or Pioneer SP1 re-mappable in this update?

It's about time! Been waiting for this feature for over 6 years! It's really frustrating anylsing songs with a different software and manually type in the key for every track, it was so annyoying to the point where I was considering just using Usbs and have my whole library on rekord box as its much easier to create playlists on there. I'm really glad that u guys have finally made it happen :) If you could create a feature similar to the rekord box one that lets you play tracks without loading them and also lets you play two tracks at the same time without any hardware plugged. It would be very convinient and essential to have that feature for preparing playlists. many thanks 🙌

Not at this stage FOTSBEATS2, but won't be too far away. Although the Dicers do already have user mappable layers.

Aaron

And I literally just paid for Mixed in Key yesterday. Rad.

I would love to know if it has a special soert by bpm and key feature at the same time so a lazy dj such as myself can just start from the top of the crate and work my way down via key and bpm.
That would help speed up work flow and time so much more conveniently.

Thanks.

What about light mapping support for Novation's Launchpad MINI? (asking again)

Que, que? Yo tambien utilizo Serato Scratch Live y el Serato DJ solo lo uso para jugar en la casa, de ser cierto lo que dices voy a tener que quitar Serato DJ porque prefiero utilizar Scratch Live.

Smart crates - just create a couple per BPM and sort by key.

All of the features in the upgrade are interesting and nice. However, any word on the Apple upgrades for El Captain which has been released already. Any heads up on that situation would be appreciated.

Want play count! Since the first day Serato Scratch came out, DJ's have requested play count. Is this so difficult?

Hey CASHnDC

The El Capitan release has created issues for hardware driver connection and audio.

We're currently working together with our hardware partners to investigate solutions to these issues.

Aaron

Will this update eliminate the need for third party software "Mixed in Key"?
When you say "online player", will you need to reanalyze your entire library to have the key noted?
will a library that has been keyed by other software translate into Serato without issue?

I think they should bring back day/night setting to change the display...like it was available in Itch

What about getting the effects to sync with track bpm...we have to manual tap the bpm..on rane 61,62

They could leave a color change option in Grades and reproduction lists would help a lot

i know im shooting for the stars.....please please pleaasssseeeee make the toggle sticks on the 61 mappable like the ttm57sl..plllleeeaaasseeeeeee

❤ & ☺

Yes you will no longer need other software to detect the key. If you have files that have had key detected from other software, then yes it will still show up and work correctly in your Serato DJ library. You can go into the setup screen and change what your key displays as between Camelot, Open Key, Classical Key and Original Tag (just displays whatever's written to the tag).

Secondary sorting would be great with the BPM/Key columns and is something we want to do in a future update. Until then you can use Smart Crates to help achieve similar results as djmallon suggested.

I'll wait and see how accurate the Key detection compared to Mixed in Key is before I reanalyze all my tracks.

When is the approximate release date because I need this so much and it will be so useful

I think they should bring back day/night setting to change the display...like it was available in Itch


It's still there! Hold down control, option, command and press number 8 to toggle back and forth.

That is for Mac right what about Windows

End of October :)

Key detection is a huge addition. Thanks for listening to your customers!

I have a Xone: K2, will I be able to map it as I wish? Currently I'm only able to map specific functions if I'm recalling correctly. Haven't used it much due to the limitations.

Sounds like an awesome update! Will I be able to analyse the key whilst having the track protect feature on so I don't lose my beat grids?
Also I don't suppose the clicking noise issue with a VCI-400 has been fixed has it? Mine is virtually unusable now yet otherwise such a brilliant controller.

Great news, keep it up...

Unfortunately you won't, re-mapping will only work with primary hardware in this release (that is hardware that can unlock SDJ). But we look to add OSA remapping support in an update :)


If you don't want the analysing to affect your existing beatgrids/BPMs then just untick 'Set BPM/Beatgrids' and make sure 'Set Key' is on, then analyze your library. This way it will leave the BPMs/Beatgrids and only add key.

How about a Next track button like you had on scratch live since the beginning? You have a Back track button that starts the track over again, but nothing to scroll through your music playlist easier...

so much for purchasing Mixed in Key!

Does SDJ sound as good as SSL in 1.8?

Word, thanks for the heads up!

Better.

Will u be a of to DJ music videos hamster style?

Great idea, its about time ! Quick question, what if I already have keys already typed into the key column.......Will Serato overwrite what's already in that column ?? LETS HOPE SO...

Will u be able to DJ music videos Hamster style?

go on and release it, it's october and I have a gig tomorrow and I wanna test it out!

will sdj 1.8 fix the conflict between my rane 57mkii and the pioneer sp1?

Can i have Serato Scratch Live and Serato DJ in the same mac?
Im still using Serato SL with the TTM57-SL i only use Serato DJ to set cue points and to edit the beatgrids.
I been using MIK for the last 2 years, so now if i reanalyze my files with Serato DJ it is going to overwrite the key? Or i am going to keep both?

so will the ns7 ii and ns7iii be re mappable?

This is great news since I was just about to purchase Mixed in Key software this week. Thanks Serato DJ.

Please, for the love of god tell us that it will now work with the Pioneer CDJ 350s in HID mode as well???........ Bueller?........ Anybody?....... It seems Serato continues to ignore this question from many users.....

This is great news since I was just about to purchase Mixed in Key software this week. Thanks Serato DJ.

www.youtube.com

Yes if Serato DJ analyzes a file with an existing key and you have the 'Set Key' option ticked, it will re-write with the new SDJ key information. If your files have already been analyzed you will need to re-analyze them so it gets the key. If you DON'T want to overwrite your existing keys then make sure 'Set Key' is unticked.


Yes. There is a known issue with the motorised platter controllers and re-mapping which is : all decks need to be paused for the re-mapping to work correctly.


There's no video update in this release. There is no current way to properly hamster-switch the video crossfader like this.


No there is no CDJ-350 support in this release. We are working on things we have deemed more important to a larger number of our users. Having said that if we get a large number of requests for this from users we can look into it.


Yes, Scratch Live and Serato DJ are separate applications but they share the same library and many preferences. If you re-analyze your files with Serato DJ you can choose to either overwrite your existing keys (make sure 'Set Key' is turned on) or you can choose to not write any new key and keep your existing ones (make sure 'Set Key' is turned off). If you are happy with the existing key tags that MIK has written to your files then don't re-analyze and all your keys will show up and work correctly in SDJ already :)

Another example of sDJ adding features that other DJ software have had for a loong time....like years. Wow! But, marketing magic and image goes a long way.

And some comments like the following are so amusing.
"Will this support the use of real keys or just those silly "Camelot" codes"

This is what happens when you don't understand technology.

Will this rewrite bpm and keys? If not how do i clear mp3s and retag them. a lot of my bpms are off? not sure how they changed. example i have tracks that i know are 70 bpm now they read 100? not sure what happened may beat grid screwed them up. i also have mixed in key 7

Guys most of you are asking the same question so I'm going to say it again one more time :

• If you have existing key tags (from MIK or some other application) these will show and work fine in Serato DJ 1.8. You don't need to do anything.
• If you want Serato DJ to overwrite these then re-analyze them in Serato DJ with 'Set Key' ticked. Analyzing with 'Set Key' ticked will always re-write and add the SDJ key to your files.
• If you don't want Serato DJ to overwrite these then make sure you don't analyze them in Serato DJ with 'Set Key' ticked
• If you want to analyze your music to get key information but you don't want it to change your BPM/Beatgrids then simply untick 'Set BPM/Beatgrid' and tick 'Set Key' before you Analyze.

Hope that helps.

good job serato! - Great update.

Color cue points mapping on the VCI 3800 would be nice. It does not have to be exact.

This is an awesome update.

How accurate is the Key detection?

I use a combination of MIK, Rekordbox and Beatport for my key detection. And from the general consensus, MIK is the most accurate.

If that is the case, what will make me want to sway into using the built-in key detection?

We'll let you guys decide what you think is best. We're confident our key analysis is very high quality and we've put a lot of work into this.

If you enjoy using a third party application currently there's no reason you need to stop using that. The new key features in Serato DJ will read and display any key info analysed in any software and display it in the format you wish.

sam.

Excellent update! keep them coming...

I've been playing with Rekordbox DJ over the last few days (30day trial) it's not bad, not as polished feeling by far but I do love the 'related tracks' suggestion area in the browser , that would be nice to see in serato too at some point.

Will key detection for for mp4's?

What about Color Cue Points on the VCI-380?

Remapping is sick! Like Rekordbox, a custom Pad FX would be AWESOME.

Can I get on the Beta to test the known issues for the NS7ii? www.facebook.com
serato.com

Will this update fix the problem with high resolution videocards?

hey guys one of the first serato users from germany here.
Started with the sl1 now having sl4 and sl3 i am still using ssl cause i can customise my effects perfectly. My workflow is what made me famouse here as a longtime Resident and i am teaching this workflow in my DJ School.
My Question is if you guys will ever incorporate the old efx section in sdj?

"Yes. There is a known issue with the motorised platter controllers and re-mapping which is : all decks need to be paused for the re-mapping to work correctly.
"
could you clarify does that mean the have to be pause to actually remap or they have to be paused to use the remapped functions?

Any chance you can look at releasing an update that shows up to gigs for me and DJs without me having to physically get out of bed? That's what I'm really hanging out for!

#somepeopleexpecttoomuch

Really looking forward to this update - this will make what I already do easier to do.

It just means when you actually do the re-mapping you need to make sure the platters are paused. They don't need to be paused to use it! :)

What about importing collection from traktor to serato (with cue points and tags) for windows users? I think this will be a great feature.

Key shift ? you can change the key of a fixed tempo ? and would it show you the key change when changing the pitch/tempo control of your deck/TT changing tempo with pitch unlocked ? if so mega game changer and would open up a whole new world of key manipulation & Mixing :O .... AAA+ for the update and thx for always listening to us ;) it must be frustrating with the plethora of controllers and Q's u guys deal with all day everyday top stuff n very grateful :D

How about serato video ? Is There any fresh updates for serato video in sdj 1.8 ?

Will key detection also set cue points like Mixed in key does?

Does the key detection work with all audio formats?

Nice! Looking forward to this. I like to use my drummachines with Serato. Please make the efx able to sync to the masterclock.

I remember a pressvideo from last year, where somrene from the Serato-team talked about bringing back The Bridge i 2015. Any news about this?

Wil there be Any support for the retina display anytime soon?

Grtz, Menno

Great Job Serato! I've been waiting for this support for the longest time! Goodbye mixed in keys!

I can't wait for this update! Are you going to support retina displays on this update? I hope so.

And the Retina support will be avaible in the next millenium? You're ridiculous...

I don't know if anyone notice!Pitch N Time when reversing on cdj don't maintain the key!

Will it be compatible with windows 10?

Great job buddies. Key detection has been a missing but necessary feature.

Will play count be considered in the future?

Is there an early beta to download it?

I have a Pioneer sz that i CANTuse, because of "el capitán", so i cant work, dont you think its absurd to release this useless update first????...

I, will it be possible to use stars from itunes library if no do you this about this in a future update?

Working with a Numark NV I have several troubles with the 1.7.8 version.

Will it be ok with 1.8 ?

Thanks

guess this is indeed a nice feature...if you still want it I do the following.
I create a folder for each star level and in SDJ I give them a particular color. For ex: all the 5 stars are red all the 4 stars are blue etc...

Hope this can help you as it did for me
Christophe DJ CFLY

Can't wait to get my hands on it...

BTW running Windows 10 100% problem free but did undo myself from MS Bloatware, when playing I shutdown any network connections, blue tooth etc..

I run a Lenovo T530 (a workhorse) not the newest but very very stabile

The ability to shift keys through P&T sounds fun. I wish you guys would just support the bridge already. I got Push and it would be awesome to jam with it during the sets. I tried running Ableton through my SZ off of another computer and it does not work. Just give us the Bridge PLEASE!!!!!!!

Thanks for this tips

Will this update 1.8 use less CPU which has been an issue as well not only for me but other as well??? Thanks

Why any working DJ have the urge to upgrade to an early version of an upgraded OS when the main company with the software being use to DJ and (possibly also make money out of) sent out a warning note on the same day of El Capitan NOT to update?
Serato did, Native Instruments did, Pioneer did! So, wouldn't that give a pause and have it sunk for a minute and not do it? And if all three leading DJ companies have problems with this OS upgrade, doesn't it means the fault is a little bit more on Apple side? I'll take the 1.8 upgrade happily and feeling just a tad bit of remorse for the ones who blindly upgraded to El Capitan. #notpoliticallycorrect, I know!

Anyway, Serato thanks for the update and keep up the good work.

Hi all, remember to read the blog entry at the top of this page! It has a lot of information you guys have been asking for :)

There's also a lot of great feature suggestions here, most of which should be directed to our Serato DJ feature suggestion area here serato.com


Great feature suggestion! DeepHouseSession#1, however no plans at this stage.


Yes, you will be able to automatically jump to a compatible key (Key Sync) or manually scale up/down an octave range looking for one that fits (Key Shift).


Sorry DJ 2DMax, there's no Serato Video updates with 1.8.0.


Unfortunately not, you will still need to set cue points yourself. Using Beat Jump to skip through the track makes this a piece of cake though :)

All Serato DJ supported file types that allow metadata tags to be written.


No news about this for now sorry MBLL.


Hopefully in the future but not with this 1.8.0 update.


We are currently testing for issues with Windows 10 but it is still not currently supported. We will let you know once official support is available.


This is definitely something our developers are aware of, but no news about this right now. We are aware of the request though :)


No iTunes rating system at these stage. You could always use Emojis in the comment tag column for your own star rating system :)

Cheers

Bonjour,

Can y re map joystick midi on Rane TTM57MK2 on the new version 1.8 ?
Thank's

Bonjour dany carron,

Yes, you will be able to re-map the Rane TTM57MKII joysticks with the upcoming Serato DJ update :)

Kind regards

will it sdj 1.8 fix the conflict with the rane ttm 57 mkii and the pioneer sp1?

Wow hate to rain on this parade... What update? I will be happy when Serato DJ finally just catches up with things we did 2 years ago on Scratch Live. But sorry that wasn't a brag that I was Djing then.

The question is: how much accuracy is your key detection System. Is it better than Mixed In Key? Have you statistical results to prove it?

Thanks!

PS: this feature is gona be excellent!!!

Just curious, if I choose Musical Key notation, will it be analyzed/displayed as sharps or flats?

Example: C#m vs Dbm

Great.

I couldn't use it though because your support desk still hasn't resolved my corrupt library problems I raised in early July, so I'm now 3 months without a working library, and pretty annoyed about it!

Still waiting for the phone call?

Matt

Key detection, kl feature... If you are lazy as fuck, this together with wave riding makes you nothing more than a glorified ipod lol

Major Update thank you,
did you fix the bug that show the tracks as played even if it's only loaded for preview?? specially when connected to a Pioneer DJM 900 (DVS Mode, Club Kit)?
how about adding fast forward & rewind buttons when the hardware is connected (like the SSL) coz it's really helpful when trying to cue a point on REL mode

Hi Joe,

You will be able to choose a format for displaying your Key for all your tracks, whether analysed in Serato DJ or elsewhere. You will be able to display Camelot, Open Key, Musical Key notation or Original Tag (what’s already in your files).

@DJ Surda,
We think our analyzation accuracy is pretty good! I don't have any stats for you, but it has been consistent in testing. In the end I guess you will be the judge :)

@Matt,
What is your ticket number? I will get the Support Team to contact you tomorrow.

Cheers

Great update. I hope the midi controller lights up again with this update.
We can't be to far away from having the bridge?

so to be clear, does this remapping means i can remap the 'loop roll' buttons to trigger 'stored loops' instead? (without using shift or anything)

So Scott S, you don't know if serato key System detection is the best option ... You can tell "is the best" but that's a subjective opinion.

We will cheeck, and "the bug that show the tracks as played even if it's only loaded for preview" should have ben already fixed ...

Hi there, positive feature the key detection

My question is this. It says that this new update will allow us to be able to remap functions of our controllers but then there's a footnote that says it's not available to Serato supported contollers. I have an original Vestax VCI-300 that I really like but when Serato DJ came out I lost the use of half of my buttons and some of the others don't do the same thing anymore.

Does this mean because my controller is an official Serato controller I won't be able to remap those functions?

Finally I will be able to re-map my Akai AMX? :-)

will be possible to map Slicer on Vestax VCI-400 or added Vestax Pad-One?

I think they should bring back day/night setting to change the display...like it was available in Itch

I'm with you - Day mode was very handy in summer!

Will the key detection be compatible with the tracks released via Serato white label? A while ago mixed in key would destroy something in the tracks and not allow them to play in full 320kbps. I've not used the service since. Also, mixed in key requires a internet connection to do its job. Will this be the same in the serato version? Thanks for all the hard work peeps!

Hi, no news about the Album Art on loaded virtual decks ?

What's wrong with the people here?
Serato just announced free key detection, a huge update on P'NT DJ and hardware remapping and people are still complaining?

49% of the comments is how people ask questions that are answered well in the post already. Another 49% is about unsatisfied people who are pissed that they didn't get their own requested feature.

Kudos to Serato for keeping up their game. This announcement is huge and I'm looking forward to all the good stuff that will keep coming!

Hello, what about DDJ-SP1 for hardware remapping?
Will it be now possible to have a custom midi map on that controller?

This is a good update and shows that Serato actively listens to users. Although I was hoping for some fancy sampler improvements in this update, I now have to admit that these features are more important. Nice job!

good listening Serato many thanks ... if we can have this all working before halloween please

got karaoke gigs that really could help me out!
Key Change rocks

Nice job

Will the remapping of the VCI-380 mean that I can use it for cue points and stuff while using my sl4 for dvs at the same time like I can with Ssl?

That would be great.

Or if it's not possible because you can't have two sdj units connected at the same time, would it be possible to somehow make the vci-380 become just a mixer with midi pads on it? Maybe by a software hack?

Is it compatible with the numark ns7

me complica muito os samples, mais há coisas que tem de ser revisadas mesmo ainda com muitas versões

yes finalement......great update

I really need this too.

Will this update have headphones audio cue?

I love the idea of color labels, including what was going to suggest as mixinkey use q scan and had all my music, thanks ....

Is serato key detection compartable with video mp4s? Because i remember back in the day mp4s were not detectable in the ssl key colomn and it would cause them to be corrupted. Thats why mixed in key decided to to use the comments colomn for dectecting mp4 keys in serato or ssl

What is key ? And how will it help me with DJing

This is great news about 1.8! Will the Key Tagging be applied correctly to .wav files? Mixed in Key doesn't tag .wav files well, so most of mine don't show the key tag even though they have been evaluated by the software.

Hey, for your knowledge, check this: mixedinkey.com

A short explanation about harmonic mixing!

Will this solve the issue with the tracking bars turning red and audio drop outs ?

Hey Serato!

And for DDJ-S1 mapping fix??? Not have ANY changes yet!

1) - Music progress bar not flashing when missing 20 seconds to song finish.

2) - Button FX ON/OFF not flashing when the bank effects are in single mode.

3) - Button Loop IN/OUT no longer gets lighted.

4) - Button LOAD A/B not flashing when a song is loaded on the deck.

Tks!

itunes has this option in preferences/playback/crossfade, I use it all the time. Make a playlist and you're set.

"Free for current Pitch ‘n Time DJ users updating to Serato DJ 1.8. For new users, Pitch ‘n Time DJ can be purchased in-app or on the Serato Online Store for 29USD."

Is the new key detection feature part of SDJ 1.8 a free upgrade to SDJ licence holders, or will I have to buy 'Pitch n Time' to get the new key detection feature to work in SDJ 1.8?

Can you (finally) map one of the FX knobs on the SX or the SR to the vinyl brake speed function (since you removed the relevant knob after the S1, for some reason..)??

It is a function that many djs would need to have direct manual access to, but ever since the removal of the brake knob after the S1, we cannot do this anymore (unless you change the brake speed with the virtual knob on SDJ using the...mouse pointer...).

Hello to all serato team! And thanks a lot for this update I was wishing for years now! :) I feel like it's my birthday!

I have a few questions about key analysis :
- when we do the key detection, will it be a parameter to scan all library and erase previous tag in order to have the same algorithm working for the whole library?
- will it be longer to scan a track (bpm+key)?
- will it work on all formats supported by serato?
- when will be release the user manual?

Thanks again!

one more question will remapping be able to add other features such as pad fx on controllers that dont have that currently?

Has the Pitch 'n Time algorithm been improved at all? There are still noticeable artifacts (discussed at length on the forum: serato.com) and I'd really love to see those fixed. Or better yet, give us an option to adjust the parameters of PnT since it's a paid upgrade.

Thanks for the update though, keep up the good work.

(*cough* Retina *cough*)

This is very interesting and ingenious in the mix for thinking detect and put the key in games.
<is there going to be a ranking selection with the key and tempo simultaneously? will be perfect!
secondly there will be a midi output clock til sychroniser to the tempo of the mix on other USB machine? it is important.
Thank you

Thanks for getting back to me Scott, but it doesn't really answer my question.
I get that I can choose the format for key display. What I'm asking is, if I choose to display Musical Key, when SDJ analyzes the key of the track, will it write the musical key using sharps or flats? Will it write "C#m" or "Dbm" in the key tag? Can I choose which one to display?

Thanks.

hello I would like to know which plug ins will be released to the nois User Serato DJ,
Caribe; this new Serato DJ 1.8

I wonder if they've changed the scroll bar colour to something visible

Excellent news.

& for some of you who have mentioned Windows 10, I've been running DJ on it for about a week and it's fine. I played a four hour set last Saturday night, and it was smooth, no glitches or hiccups. Had FX running, and recorded it too, with zero problems.

One Love

I always wanted this for the Twitch. It would be like a big SP-1 but as you can't turn off one sound card it just won't work. Shame too.

Agreed. I've got two machines on Win 10 and they are both flawless.

Surprising that Mac have the on-going issues with audio going back a while now. I hope they nail it soon. Windows has been rock solid for me since Win 7, dropout free.

will the tempo detection for effects work again for the Rane 68?

Awesome update :) Thanks a lot Serato team!

this all sounds great,i hope soon we will be able to plug and play in Cdjs 350,400,850,900,2000(HID) without any need of a soundcard as Traktor had this option since their 2.5 or 2.6 update.......it makes life easy ,not need to worry about compatible mixers as long as u got the right decks you good to play

That is a True Game Changer... i bought traktor for that,i just use serato for live video sets
hopefully this will change

This x1000. HID without the needless headache of official hardware. Would make Serato life so much better.

No El Capitain is weak, not gonna lie.

Hello folks! Any news on the Playing Unzipped Karaoke files in the new release? (***Fingers Crossed***)

Will I be able to sort by bpm first ánd key second? Currently using filenames for this :)

No. Read the previous messages!

Lol.

The irony of this post is unparalleled

thanks BleedR! I'm not so lucky with my time to sift through all comments so your reply is a huge time saver, thanks again

Great Job! That knocks off one thing off my with list! cant wait for secondary sort, Bridge support and the ability to auto import from folders one day!

How does the key detection algorithm compare to that of Mixed In Key's? I know Mixed in Key has been at this for quite a while (with all of their funding going to research for better key detection algorithms) so i'm not too sure how much time/money into research Serato has put into this feature especially with how glitchy Pitch n Time has been with DVS (audio drop outs on my SX2 with DVS scratching with Pitch N time enabled).

There's no 'Day Mode' feature with this update sorry. This upcoming 1.8 update is focused around new Key Detection, the Pitch n' Time DJ Expansion Pack update and Hardware Remapping.


Yes you will be able to use Serato DJ 1.8 with the Numark NS7 at the end of October :)


WAV files do not allow tags to be written to them, so no, it will not detect the Key for WAV files. This is a limitation of the file itself and we recommend you use iTunes or something similar to convert to MP3 if you need key data or tag information :)


Secondary sort is not something that is currently possible, or with this update, but we would love for it to get included with a future release of Serato DJ. This is a great feature request :)


No, Serato Video still needs to see both the audio file and the video file separately, so you will still need to unzip karaoke .zip files before using in Serato DJ.

Thanks guys!

Hi FoEyez,


We think it's pretty good - and hopefully up to par with other key detection software. I don't have any stats for you right now, but has been pretty accurate for us so far! Yes Mixed and Key have been in the key detection game for a long time, so they definitely have some tricks up their sleeves when it comes to setting the perfect key.

Wait until Serato DJ 1.8 gets released at the end of October and you can try it out for yourself :)

Kind regards

waw SDJ 1.8 so cool ...
but i`m only interested with SSL ...

because real DJ using SSL w/ Turntable


Cheers ^^

When will arrive a "match" option, in order to mark and remenber when two tracks fit well?

Will the key be listed as a relative major diatonic scale, or will it indicate different modes?

Was there ever a beta out?...did not see any....

Its been out a week. You really expect issues to be fixed that fast?

What really weak is your outrageous expectation.

Is there a way to convert back to Yosemite OS. I tired to use time machine and mine was not on. I tried the purchase history in the App Store and it will not allow you to downgrade. Need help ASAP

How about the Serato Video. Can fix all bad issue? like (Black Screen, Downward Images, Blinking Images & Slanting Lines on Images while on play? Thanks..

Official Serato Accessories will not support remapping at this stage. There are also some limitations for specific hardware. If you have a VCI-300 and you are using it as your primary Serato DJ controller (the one to activate Serato DJ) then yes, you will be able to use the hardware remapping feature. The footnote you talk about mentions no support for our Official Serato Accessories. These are things like Pioneer CDJs, Reloop Neon, Akai AFX etc (more on this page serato.com). We hope to bring remapping support for the Official Serato Accessories soon, however it will not be available with this update.

There are a few disclaimers and some things that won't be possible with the mappings at this stage, but more information will be available once the update is out at the end of October :) Hold tight!


Yes! What a time to be alive :) ⭐️


No news at this stage sorry Batman.


Key detection will be built into Serato DJ, so will not require any Expansion Pack. However, if you want to use Key Shift (moving the track's key up and down) or Key Sync (automatically matching compatible keys) you will need to purchase the Pitch 'n Time Expansion Pack as it uses our amazing Pitch 'n Time algorithm to do such crazy things :)


No support for Official Accessories (including DDJ-SP1 with this update sorry. We hope to have it available in a future update.


Yes, you will 😀


- You can choose to erase the original key and put the new Serato DJ key in the key tag, or keep your original key if you already have one. You can choose to analyze the files with or without key detection enabled. So it is up to you :)
- We haven't noticed any increase in the time it takes to analyse files with key enabled
- Yes, all supported formats that allow tags to be written (unlike .WAV files). MP3 usually yields the best results.
- The Serato DJ 1.8 software manual will be available after the software is released. There will also be a helpful article for you to read that should explain how to use everything, also out once the software is released. :)

Thanks

any link to the beta i like doing beta test i have been in 4 so far

While I agree it's amazing that PnT can pitch tracks to extreme levels (why you'd want to is another question), listening to it at normal ranges (+/- 1-6%) there are really noticeable artifacts. Particularly with house or techno music. Put PnT on a bare kick drum loop and you'll hear it. Once you hear it, you can't un-hear it. Really hoping that gets addressed.

hi serato team, whats about the stem files. i don't want to change to traktor for using it. is there something of the side of serato to use these files in sdj???

Will it support djm s-9 ? Or when will that update be available for that mixer.

Serato guys,

You should think about offering a 30 days trial to the Pitch'n Time DJ extension because I don't want to buy it and see that it does not work as well as I was hoping.

Its funny how serato modes are dodging the the video questions about if serato key detection will work with mp4s?

From Scott S further up the thread.



It's done in P'nT so is good to go.

This may of been asked already but will it still work with Mac osx lion 10.7.5??

Nice work Serato team.
Will the Camelot code system insert a zero in front of the code for 1A-9A and 1B-9B, ie 01A, 01B, 02A, 02B, 03A, 03B etc.
That will prevent 10A, 10B, 11A, 11B, 12A and 12B from being placed between 1B and 2A in a list of tracks sorted by key – which is not where they belong. They should go between 09B and 01A

Will you still get color coding if you use your existing key tags?

Hi DJ BigEar, Serato DJ does not support the stem format for now. It's something we would like to work on but no news at this stage.


Yes, the Serato DJ 1.8 release will include Pioneer DJM-S9 support.


Good idea! No news about this for now though. Maybe in the future :)


Not dodging at all. I have a few MP4 files and they seem to be tagging just fine. Any supported Serato DJ file that allows tags to be written (and are not corrupted or damaged) should work just fine.


No, OS X 10.7 (Lion) is no longer supported for Serato DJ. We dropped support for 10.7 in the last major Serato DJ update. I suggest you check the Serato DJ system requirements before continuing to make sure your computer meets our minimum system requirements serato.com


If you already have a key tag that falls within our color coding guidelines (for example, if it matches another key that already has a specific color) then yes it will get the same Key color as those with Serato DJ analysation. You can even turn all the color off and just have black and white key display if it gets too confusing :)

+1, and this is actually what I do myself.

Hi Mankey Mickey,


No, it will not insert a zero in front of a camelot key. However, we have thought about this, and our Key column is smart enough to not get confused by 10A and 1A - it should still order them correctly in order of Key if you choose to sort by Key in the library. Hopefully this helps!

Cheers

You shouldn't need to add all those extra zeros in Serato DJ 1.8 :)

Will the new 1.8 support the new high Dpi screens on laptops? I have a 4k resolution laptop and whenever I open Serato dj, all the text is scaled down to a very small size.

Will this update open up midi settings for the Denon DJ SC3900?

Fantastic. Keep up the great work. SL1 and SL4 user since 2006 and still happy :o)

Hi Joel M,
No news for retina users i'm afraid :( You can try changing the scale of your resolution, or DPI, as a workaround in the meantime. We are still working on Serato DJ's resolution scaling for newer, UHD computers so hopefully it will be available in a future update :)

@DjEloThePrince

The hardware remapping available in Serato DJ 1.8 will just be for your primary Serato DJ hardware (the device that activates Serato DJ - whether controller, interface or mixer). The Denon SC3900 is not a Serato DJ primary device. We are still working on support for accessories (and other MIDI devices) and hope to include it in an upcoming release :)

Thanks guys

Does Serato support 64 bit?

Hi WirelessDJ,

Serato DJ is a 32-bit application on both OS X and Windows. There are currently no plans for a 64-bit version although it's something that's been on our minds for a while!

Kind regards

It all good nice update but what about Windows 10. I want to buy a better laptop and all the ones I want are Windows 10.

Great update. I hope the midi controller lights up again with this update.
We can't be to far away from having the bridge?

That's great news

When is the MIDI Clock Output coming?

Scratch Live run good with El Capitan

Serato Scratch Live doesnt work with el Capitano. My SL2 doesnt connect

Shame about the midi clock but as for all the negative comments about El Capitan compatibility I have no sympathy at all. I mean what kind of business professional in their right mind upgrades to a new OS before waiting all their important software to be updated? Sometimes that takes ages, standard.

The up coming up grade sound promesing, but how about individual control of sample deck per say deck A or C sample deck is independant from the sample deck B or D. so you can set vocal on one side of the deck and loops on the other side. By the way, I have the DDJ-SX2 and the touch strip is disable during deck play, why not enable another function when in deck play instead of just have a dead space there. I am positive that you can please your followers with this simple request.

I almost forgot but will the new upgrade support the Denon SC3900, please say yes... Well what I mean is can I use the hybrid mod and include some mapping so I can use at least the some feature of the software with the SC3900.

Hi,
Will in the future Serato DJ support The bridge?

I'm affraid that one day, The bridge won't work with OS X update or Ableton update because Scratch Live is no more updated...

ls

check your pref tab in serato probably you "tick" disable needle search ;)

Will the sorting by Camelot be in the same sequence when using Musical Keys?

Example: Below Am would be Dm... and NOT Bm

Yes, you were correct it was checked. Know I believe that function was added to the save guard the playing track from accidentally touching the strip when playing around with the Efx. If these is true, can it have a second function while the deck is active. it will be a very nice. I do not think that when you touch the strip on an active playing deck the jump is quantize or is it.

Thanks first for the forthcoming update!

How will the mapping gonna work, just like it already does with a few new options, or will you also offer to type in code to programm things like shift buttons aswell?

I´d love to map things for the perfect workflow, that´s what I always been missing workink with SDJ.

So With this update we can re-midi map the Sixty-Two to our liking?

No Windows 10 support at this stage but we are still testing! We will let you know once Serato DJ is compatible with Windows 10 but it shouldn't be too far away. Already a lot of users seem to be running Serato DJ on their Windows 10 machines without issue but I would wait for official support before using in a live situation.


No news for MIDI clock output support at this stage. It's something we would love to do but currently I don't have any further info.


Scratch Live is not supported on OS X El Capitan. I would not suggest updating. Please check the Scratch Live system requirements > serato.com


This is a good idea, one we hope to get implemented into the software soon, but no further news on this update for now.


Sorry no updates to the Denon SC3900. This update is primarily focused on new Key Detection, Hardware Remapping and an update to the Pitch 'n Time Expansion Pack.

We don't have any news about The Bridge right now sorry peeveew. You should stick on a supported operating system if you still need to use Scratch Live and The Bridge. Check out the Scratch Live system requirements here > serato.com


Yes! With Serato DJ 1.8 you will be able to change functions of buttons, knobs and faders on your supported Serato DJ hardware.


You will only be able to remap your primary Serato DJ device for now (the one that activates Serato DJ - whether controller, interface or mixer). Official Serato Accessories do not support remapping at this stage. No SHIFT remapping with this first update. There will be some limitations for specific hardware but we will let you guys know once the software is out. We also plan to keep working on this feature to make it as easy (or as complex - if thats's how you like it) for you guys as possible :)


In the Camelot display 'Am', 'Dm' or 'Bm' are not actually used, but yes this is the sorting that takes place when using "Musical Key" as your set key display preference. When sorting by key after 'Am' would be 'F' then 'Dm'.

Regards

This...

Good to hear :)
Thanks, Scott!

Serato:
Regarding the new remapping capability, the forthcoming Denon MC4000 Serato controller apparently does not have a dedicated button/fader for Crossfader control so it has to be selected in software. Would I be able to remap a given control on this Serato-enabled controller for that function with this new capability in 1.8?

Hi FunkyD,

Yes you will be able to map the crossfader curve in the SETUP screen to a knob of your choosing on the Denon MC4000 after this 1.8 update.

Regards

What great news.. You folks are totally awesome.. Thanks so much for your work on this update!

Fantastic news! This great!

You are awesome FunkyD!


Thanks Shagz, take it easy!

Is the SRT Mixer midi mappable also?

What sort of impact will this update have on performance? I can imagine the extra real time processing of key matching for example might be pretty CPU hungry..

Do you have some recommended HW specs?

Thank you.....

That is great. I want to know if you guys tried comparing the accuracy of your key detection algorithm to other software.
Where does Serato stands here : ibrahimshaath.co.uk

So.. does this mean that Serato will finally be able to read (and write) the key tag for FLACs?

+1

hi serato you guys are awesome just got one question will i be able to map my djm 900 srt. like for example i don't use the channel 1&4 so would like to map those to the serato fx controls

As a owner of a Club-Kit using a DB4 connected to a K1 and K2 via X-Link what am I able to remap (the DB4 right?)
But in this case there are just going to be new mapping options?

By the way while using a Twitch and a K1 owning the Club-Kit there should be a 4Deck option. Please fix it!

Thanks first!

Yes :)


This update shouldn't increase the load on your computer compared to using the current Pitch 'n Time Expansion Pack. In fact, I believe we have lowered overall Serato DJ CPU usage for this next release. There's also a lot more Serato DJ optimization to come :)


Have a look at the Serato DJ system requirements here > serato.com. You'll notice Pitch 'n Time DJ specs are a little higher. I would recommend something with 4GB of RAM, preferably an i7.

Hi Special Ed, yes if the control sends out MIDI then you should be able to map it. Using channels 1 and 4 for FX controls sounds like a great idea!

Regards

hi! where i can find the serato dj beta 1.8 download archive???

hi! how to do serato dj beta 1.8 download

you don't it's not a public beta. It will be released end of the month.

Great feature. Will you have to be connected to the internet to analyze the key (like you have to be when using Mixed in Key)?

how did you download

Spero che non occorra essere in linea per caricare la chiave armonica del brano.

La versione 1.7.8 di Serato DJ non fa accendere le luci al mio launc pad novation. Spero che la versione 1.8 non abbia più questo inconveniente.

In questo momento uso la versione 1.7.6

Grazie

How can i download 1.8.0 serato dj beta version

It's not a public beta. nobody can get it. I assume Serato has some users testing it, but not anyone who wants too.

Never mind ignore what i just said. The beta is public now. serato.com

That sucks i wanted to check it out

You can, follow the link above

There was 2 minutes between posts. Give him a break chaps lol

I wasnt busting balls I was making sure that he got the notification right away that there was new posts in the thread so he didnt miss it.

I had installed the beta.

My SL2 has been detected but tracks cannot be load. Also you cant see the wave form.

Hoping we can remap OSAs soon too. The Akai AFX is just some tempo/library controls away from being a really great "Serato X1".

i had installed the beta.

my ddj-sz controller can’t contact to serato dj

i had installed the beta.

i can’t contact ddi-sz

I have been running Serato DJ with my Pioneer DDJ SR with windows 10 for weeks...
This shouldn't be working?
It seems to be working well...had more troubles with 8...that's why I switched.
But is it odd that it is working?

I own the sz and sp1. Will I be able to have the pads on the sp1 control, say, loop roll AT THE SAME TIME that the pads on the sz control, say, hot cues?

Question regarding Accessories

Hey Sam...tricky question for you in regards to the Official Accessories to be supported on a future release...To give you an understanding, Imagine i use a ddj sb2 and an sp1

I d like to be using both the main unit hardware and an accessory at the same time (no custom map anywhere)...but to be able to set a different performance layer to each other...I might want the ddj-SP1 to be on Hot Cue mode and the DDj SB2 to be on the Autoloop layer...Currently they just mirror each others setting.

Let me know if you can confirm that this will be possible after remapping wil be supported for accesories

Cheers
Nik

When will serato Dj 1.8 come out

Exactly what I was asking

I want to do this so bad. Like SOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!!! Thats my dream system at the moment. But serato said before but it doesnt work like that.
They or pioneer got lazy in programming. if you switch what the pads are controller on the DDJ it also changes it on the sp1 and vice versa.

Yeah, this would be great but if I remember all the Pio gear send the same signal on those performance pads from their range.

I'm not sure if it lies with Pio? Either way it would be sweet.

Actually, I think the Twitch changes too.

You are probably right about that..I think they currently are on the same channel and notes....However i am sure they can change the sp1s transmission channels via firmware and add another layer....it already has an additional mode which is transmitting things differently for SL and for general mapping from day 1....i wouldn't also be surprised if there might even be another layer inside it already, that we don't know about.....

However regardless of the sp1 there is a bunch of other accessories to benefit from those combo options..Hopefully someone will give us an official answer

Cheers
Nik

niceeee

i work with serato 1.7.8 on OS X EL CAPITAN and work with no problems at this moment all work good so far

Will the mixer section on Akai AMX be able to be remapped at some point?

we could combine the High and Mid eq like an old scratch mixer on the mid eq knob and use the High eq knob to be a proper Gains knob (using the endless encoders only for pitch)...

Will this ever be an option for the AMX and remapping function on DJ?

Cheers
Nik

The AMX is remappable so should be good to go. It's just the AFX that isn't just yet.

How would you map the mid/high in software? Would you lose the high and just have EQ on the mid?

You are right...i meant to map the bass and the mids together on one single knob....You wouldn't be loosing anything...you d just have a single control knob for both bass and mid....i just dont want my channel gain to be on an endless rotary encoder

That said of course only if they decide to open up the eq & gain controls for mapping on the GUI midi panel....or if they provide us with the command lines for the xml....

Cheers
Nik

please try to get this out before Halloween.

How will I be able to function Pitch-n-time from Pioneer DDJ-SB without touching the computer???

Remap it to something

i was excited for the remaping of the ns72 however if i read the limitations correct once you remap a button you lose all other functions of that button in othe modes

Hi..
I was wondering if this update wil fix the problem with cdj 850. And If will working with djm 750. And If the light of kontrol x1 is working now. Thanks

Exactly

Hi there, nice new features on the way :-)
One question: will the DJM900NXS also be mappable like the "SRT" version? ...i'm using it with the clubkit

Pleeeeeeeease!!!
I am a party DJ can not use Serato DJ for my DDJ SZ after updated onto OS X EI capitan......need your help as soon as possible!

Restore back to Yosemite or make a bootable USB stick with it!

El Capitan no way!

I am still using Mavericks.

al menos yo he usado serato dj intro , scratch y 2 versiones de serato dj (por probar diferentes maquinas), ahora sólo tengo las 1.7.8 y 1.7.7 por si se cae uno abrir el otro. y ni un problema.

if you have troubles with the capitán. i recomend u do a downgrade to yosemite or maybe mavericks. whatever.

Downloading the OS X Mavericks Installer from the OS X El Capitan App Store:

To be able to find the Mavericks and Yosemite installer app, you must have downloaded it at some point with the same Apple ID you are using to access the App Store. If you never previously downloaded it or installed it on a Mac, you will not find the installer available on that account.

1)- Go to the Apple menu and choose “App Store”.
2)- Click on the “Purchases” tab and log in to your Apple ID if you haven’t done so already.
3)- Scroll through the list of purchased / downloaded apps and find "OS X Mavericks" or "OSX Yosemite", then click the “Download” button next to its name.
4)- Re-download the OS X Mavericks or Yosemite installer from the App Store.
5)- Confirm that you want to download the installer for OS X Mavericks (10.9) or Yosemite (10.10), despite running a newer version of OS X (10.11).
6)- Confirm downloading OS X 10.9 or 10.10 from OS X 10.11.
7)- Downloading Mavericks/Yosemite from App Store.

The familiar “Install OS X Mavericks” or/and “Install OS X Yosemite”app will appear in the /Applications/ folder of the Mac when it has finished downloading.

At this point you can do whatever your original intention was with the installer app, whether it’s simply copying it to another older Mac to upgrade it to a newer OS (but not to El Capitan), make a bootable installer drive, format and run a clean install of the OS X 10.9/10.10, or whatever your plan was.

For what it’s worth, this process works to download any other older version of the OS X installer app that is attached to your App Store account, as well as re-downloading the installers of currently active versions of OS X, including the install application for OS X Yosemite.

Use the DiskMaker X to build your key for a fresh install: diskmakerx.com

Good Lucky!

Wheres the download link

www.google.com

No update for UHD displays in this release. Just what is described in the blog post at the top of this page.


Follow the instructions for using the Beta. If you can reproduce the issue on all versions of Serato DJ start a help ticket with our support team and one of our staff can look into why Serato DJ is not connecting to your DDJ-SZ. Otherwise if it is just an issue with the 1.8.0 beta version then please post your feedback in the beta area.


Just because we don't provide official support for Windows 10 doesn't mean that it wouldn't work at all.. We just haven't completed official testing for this OS so can't guarantee that it will be stable and ready for performance situations. We have a lot of users on Windows 10 already with no problems :) Hopefully Windows 10 support will be available soon.


Hey Nik sorry this won't be available with this first release of hardware user remapping. We are looking into the current limitations (which will be outlined further once the feature is available) and hopefully we can release an update further down the line that addresses issues like this :)

We would love to offer further customizability of performance pad features, shift functions etc so hopefully it will come in a future update!

We're trying :)


Unfortunately this is due to the NS7II and NS7III firmware sending out the same MIDI signals in all performance pad modes. We're hoping to bring an update to this in the future but not for this 1.8 release i'm afraid :(


All the information for this release is in the blog post at the top of this page. No update of CDJ-850 or DJM-750 for now. This release is primarily around Key Detection, Hardware User Remapping and Key Shift/Sync.


They work very much the same. You will need to enable the DJM900NXS as a MIDI device in the SETUP screen of Serato DJ 1.8. Once it is enabled you will be able to remap any control on the DJM900NXS that sends appropriate MIDI signals :)


We do not currently support OS X El Capitan as some compatibility issues have emerged with hardware driver connection and audio. Your best bet is to roll back your operating system to OS X Yosemite > support.serato.com

If you are a professional DJ who requires stable software you will need to stay on a supported operating system until the issues with OS X El Capitan are ironed out - especially if you require Serato DJ to get paid!


Download the Serato DJ 1.8 public beta here > serato.com

Thanks guys!

Which other DJ Forums will we see these kind of customer service?

.... Nowhere!!!

Cheers to you Scott S and to the rest of the Serato gang!

:)

I can't find the download link for the beta ...
I need it to start making a new mix for a school concert

It's above my post, man!

Hi Redback,

You can download the Serato DJ 1.8 beta here > serato.com

Thanks :)

Hey guys I have this problem Serato Dj 1.8 also is not good when you mix the waves became legs when the vocal comes became legs looks like it's gonna stop. Thanks

Hi DjRichardM,

This isn't a troubleshooting thread, you should contact the Support team and they should be able to help you with any issues you are having with Serato DJ 1.7.8.

If you have specific feedback about the 1.8 public beta or are having trouble with the 1.8 version specifically then please follow the rules and post your findings in the beta area > serato.com

Kind regards

I didn't open my time machine in my MAC >_<

Hi guys where's download link for 1.8 beta? Every time I go to the above links I can not find the download tag. Please help, thank you!

Links above do work...most likely you werent looking on the right place...You need to get inside the second sticky to see the latest download file at the end of the discussion...here is a direct link to that serato.com

Will there be improved mapping for the Vestax 05ProIV?

If you are not familiar with our forum area or have not been in one of our public beta areas before please make sure you read the Sticky And Compulsory Discussions at the top of the page. They explain how the area works, and how to download the installer files.


The Vestax 05 ProIV is not a supported Serato DJ device and is not affected by this update.


If you still have OS X Yosemite in your 'Purchases' list in the App Store then you might be able to download it again and make a bootable copy. Follow the second section of this article for more information ▶︎ www.gottabemobile.com

Thanks

It has been a bit hectic finding the download link for the SeratoDJ Beta Version.....Here it is guys.....serato.com

Can I run 1.8.0 beta side by side with 1.7.x? That is, will 1.8.0 beta replace 1.7.x, so that I can no longer use 1.7.x?

Thanks.

Hi Superdee,

It's not advisable to replace the currently stable release version of Serato DJ 1.7.8 with a beta version, so I suggest you run the beta application along side 1.7.8 rather than installing over the top.

Read this article for more information on installing multiple versions of Serato DJ on Mac OS X or Windows PC > support.serato.com

Regards

Awesome news! Very excited to finally have key shifting feature in Serato.

Ok, so I buy the PnT thing and I’m going to be able to turn a 5A song into a 7B and then back again? Stretch and everything? 29? not the super-pricey-PRO

Next...
Energy levels.
;)

Im Using the 1.8 beta and really happy with the TTM57MKII's open midi mapping ..thank you !! is there a way to midi map the loop dial next to Loop roll button on the TTM57MKII so that it can be used to select the next or previous loop "saved" and then just use the loop roll button to turn any loop selected on and off ?......can only figure out the loop roll button to turn on and off with the (>) button next to In & Out.....just wondering is there anyway to use the dial as a selection tool between 1 loop to the next loop saved ..2..3..4...etc ?

^ loop slot select !! found it ! ...sweet ! haha all good thx again for the open mapping makes the TTMKII a beast ! :D

I'd contemplated purchasing MIK after coming on board with Serato so this feels like a win for everyone that's chosen the same path. How far away is support for Win 10 at this point in time?

I have gone ahead and re-analyzed 50% of my library in order to find the respective keys. I do hope that they are all saved in SDJ when the final version is released so I won't have to redo them all again.

Not saved on SDj....They are all saved on the Mp3 tag it self...They will show up in just about any program and any browser that supports tag views, as musical keys on the key browser section...

With Pitch 'n Time DJ you can change a 5A song into 7A, but you can't change it to 7B as you can't change a major key into a minor and vice versa. But yes, this functionality is part of the $29 Expansion Pack. Studio plug-in not required :)



Please report to the dance floor Watchwww.youtube.com



Awesome!



If nothing scary is found during the Serato DJ 1.8 public beta, we hope to announce Windows 10 support very soon.



What Nik said - thanks Nik!

Just fix the annoying, ear piercing "popping" sound when scratching, and we'll be good ;)
Started getting that when I purchased and installed Pitch n Time.

Hi Eddie Cutlass,

I can't reproduce any ear piercing scratching sounds here, you might want to hit up the Support team by starting a Help Request here > support.serato.com

They should be able to help sort out your issue :)

Regards

thanks Scott
Its not everytime when scratching but i noticed it when i installed PnT that it would do it when i scratch the same beat then drop it or just scratch the same beat, period. I'll start a help request, thanks Scott!

Hi ! Scott S. My Dj Equipment that have Serato DJ Licenses was Rane SL2. Pioneer DDJ SR and the other one is Numark Mixtrack Pro.

I used them alternate when i Djing into the Club. and sometime when I have gigs to the other or definitely invited for some Events and Festivals. Those messages that i mentioned and i send last time here in serato forum. I'm just hopping that you could fix that matter or issues. Please advice....

By the way. Can you please send me a link of Serato Beta 1.8. I'm just trying to use or to mapping to my house, and know more about it. and to prove if those other messages here forum is true. To educate also the fellow Club and Mobile DJ around the globe the are using Serato DJ software. More Power Serato. Thanks!

Hi DJ HOUSE C,


I'm not sure which problems you seem to be having, but if you were having issues the best people to contact would be the Serato Support team :) They should be able to look into issues that you seem to be having.


This does sound unusual. I would contact the support team and they should be able to help out :)


You can find the 1.8 public beta here > serato.com
Make sure you read the terms of agreement and all the forum rules :)

Thanks!

Thank you Scott S. I got it! ;) downloading right now. More Power Serato. thanks again!

Sorry... I mean the link of SDJ 1.8. That will be able to download it. ;)

I found it!!! I'm very excited! and I can't wait to play with key detection, cause I have different kinds or some version of my fav tracks or video with that key detection, I will be able to mix and mushup without wondering! Because the Key is already there! ;)

Thanks again Scott S..

No problem DJ HOUSE C,

If you find any issues related to the 1.8 beta please make sure you post about your findings in the beta area. It's good to keep all 1.8 beta talk in that place so we can monitor it correctly :)

I've had a look at your account and noticed you don't yet have a Pitch 'n Time DJ licence. Without this you will only be able to use the free Key Detection inside Serato DJ 1.8. If you do purchase the Pitch 'n Time DJ expansion pack you will be able to take advantage of Key Shift (moving the key of the track up or down semitones) and Key Sync (automatically matching keys).

Take it easy!
Scott

I'm using the beta version on OSX Lion 10.7.5 and its working fine for me.

Honestly Scott S, maybe I could not need pitch N' time for this time... when I use my Rane SL2 built with Numark NDX400 with some MIDI controllers & gadgets, they've ability to pitch up & down 4x, 8x, 16x & 50x. the interesting to me was the key. But some of this days I would purchase pitch n' time for some reasons.

But this time I'm actually enjoy practicing or mapping the new SDJ 1.8 Beta. and knowing about it. before I used it for my work or to the club where I'm Djin'.

My wife was in New Zealand, but in Gods time, me and my two kids will go there for good... ;) I wish that Serato will give me opportunity! ;) More Power Serato!!!

Why did you guys remove some of the visual aids from the serato dj 1.8 GUI ????

Like what? I didnt notice anything removed.

I'm new to Serato Video and am interested to know if you can trigger Visual samples on the sampler or is there any other way to do it..?? If not, is it something that will be added in a future update..??

Visual Sample ( an audio sample containing video or just a short visual where you can opt for audio or no-audio )

serato.com

Well I'm glad that thing is gone. It was kinda useless anyway.

The only problem I've had using the beta with OS X Capitan, is that it doesn't want to shut down sometimes. I'm also still trying to figure out how to adjust the Roll settings on my ddj-sx2. For some reason, when I change the length of the auto loop, it changes the values for the pads when using the Roll function.

Hopefully this isn't a redundant question....will 1.8 have windows 10 support?

Added Italian Language Please.

i want one tick in setup serato dj when i want play loop without tap shift button and the shift button from ddj-sx or ddj-sz delete the loop from 8 pads

Will the key detection and key fields work correctly for Flac files?

Obviously I have to use an SL2 to DJ with my original Rane 57 on SDJ, but can I remap an original Rane 57 mixer and be able to use the different features as if the mixer is a midi controller in Serato DJ 1.8 or any other version of Serato?

I have one question for serato.....What happen to the flashing side when you have a track playing or ending on serato? I forgot what version it was on before but I would to see that feature come back.... when the track is ending or playing for the screen to flash around the playing decks this should be a option to turn on or off.

Can't seem to find the 1.8 release as easy as the email suggested... site not updateds yet?

Maby i am blind, but i cant find v8 downloads enywhere. :)

Very good version. And no problem with Capitan since All beta version

This recent development really shows Serato is the king of DJ software :) Keep up the good work!

@DJ Auke & @VJAndrus

You can find the downloads at the top of this page or in the usual place here serato.com

Sweet update Serato, adding & analysing tracks now.

Awesome.

Yes full Win 10 support :)

Great Update Serato
I'm sure the team is still working on getting the EL capitan OS issue sorted
all the best team Serato

I was waiting for this function, it's useful to work with acapellas and some other stuff! :)

Hallo serato..... I'm not able to install the latest sdj 1.8. The message I get is
THE FOLLOWING DISK IMAGES COULDN'T BE OPENED. REASON ''IMAGE DATA CORRUPTED''

It's crashes at start, still =(

Hey sdz (and anyone else having issues),

Can you please contact support.serato.com so our support team can help out and identify what's going on with your system.

That's the best way for us to help you :)

Cheers,

Sam.

Would be great to keep the TTM57SL plugged to a SL2 and use Serato DJ

I have serato 1.7.7 if I do it update to serato 1.8 lose the database?

@cobla

I didn't loose mine, though there weren't much in it as I was just playing around, for hours I may add.

But when I installed 1.8 everything was still there, and if you open your current version of Serato & exit again, click the button to backup and if you do get any issues,which you won't, you got a backup, just remember if your stuff is on an external drive plug that in first.

@Shaun Tamla Williams

Thanks A Lot!!

i think is a general problem with capitan, there are other softwares having problems with sound and other thinks i hope resolve the problem soon

There are not problems, all version of serato dj usisg the same database

I have seen several releases come out and yet nothing for the MAC users. Sort of feeling that last December I purchased the wrong product. I had an issue with my Yosemite and that was the reason I had to update right away. But know I can't accept gigs because it's not talking to my NS7II, so money is being lost because of this issue. I've been a loyal Serato user for years and it's appearing that means nothing! So, I'm praying the upgrade comes before the holiday season truly gets started!

Serato DJ 1.8 is no longer compatible Intel Core Duo. Bummer. I downloaded the update, got a black screen showing platters with no function. Had to rool back to 1.7.8.

How do you delete corrupted and missing iTunes files from SDJ's library? I am allowed to delete all others except itunes files.

I am still on the trial version and working to be able to purchase the full version. The email said the trail would be extended once updated. However the trial has not been extended.

You guys probably know about this...but the Tag response on this version is not really up to speed....have to still use 1.7.8, its crazy slow on comparison on updating multiple tags.

still no bridge?

hello quote , I wonder please Faso friend as to enable the LEDs of the Master Output Level ( Master Output Level ) in serato dj 1.8
use here Djm 900 srt

I have a DDJ-SX2, and Serato DJ works pretty good with it. But how could I connect DJM-850, in ver. 1.7.8 it was not working at all?

aun no esta trabajando o no esta el soporte
(OS X 10.11 El Capitan is not currently supported.)

How do I reanalyze all songs currently added to serato?

Nice the 1.8 but I'm still waiting for day and night screen on serato dj same as serato itch???? why is this so hard?????

is Serato 1.8 still compatible with Denon MC 2000? cause it's not anymore on hardware's list

Day Mode (like in Itch) will be available in 2.0 along with high DPI and retina screen support.

If you have a Mac, you could always Invert Your Mac’s Display Colors using:
System Preferences->Accessibility->Display; Invert Colors

Where is the Tempo Matching Display?

Many nice things...but thecfirts thing u hace to fix is the problemas with windows 10 bunch of sus hace problemas like me serato get freeze por dont appear the songs un playlist. Cause of windows 10 when ii en un a parte and i get this problemas nobody solve it..i think i'm gonna sello my numark NV and i never gonna bye anything use serato cause you are not responsable and the most inportant things you dont fix it ...is a bullshit since windows 10 is out always problem with serato

Saludos Cesar utilisas windows o mac? yo tengo mac con la interface sl3 y tengo instalados los dos scratch live y serato dj

Great new features, specially the sync KEY feature.

BUT bring back the Tempo Matching Display.
BIG BIG mistake to delete it from the Horisontal view setup.

Let us who use it have an option in settings to turn it on.

Not all of us DJ's are playing quantised drum machine tracks or do scratch shows and therefore we rely heavily on this Tempo Matching Display.

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, load a few tracks from the 70's or 80's or some latin music and do a mix that goes on for aprox 15 - 60 seconds and you'll see why the Tempo Matching Display is such a lifesaver.

so only numark nv you can't map with the new version because I don't have the option on midi settings ????

To reanalyze all songs go through steps below:
1. Select "All" from left sidebar.
2. Click on any song to select it.
3. Press "Cmd + A" to select all songs.
4. Drag selected songs and drop them on "Analyze Files" Button (visible only when controller is NOT connected)
5. Wait for process to finish :)

Well Done Serato For This Update, Can't wait To See What You Have Instore Next, Hopefully The Bridge & The Day/Night Screen!!! :)

if you use a DDJ-SX or Rane MKII,you're good to go on EL Capitan at least that's my experience...other hardware has issues including the SZ

There is also a button next to the "Analyze Files" option to control Beat Gird/BPM and Key detection during analyze/reanalyzing so that you don't change existing BPM's just to add Key's to files.

How long is the estimate time to have Serato DJ working on El Captain? I have reverted back to Scratch Live on my newest mac. I'm sure many feel like me and want to have the best tools available during this peak time of year.

Will this New update support VDJ with an external HD or should we not Analyze the Video files?

I agree I need this added to your Continuous Play. Now I have take time to log out of Serato to use iTunes auto Crossfade Song feature under their Playback options (1-12 sec option) for a continuous auto crossfade play. NOT for DJ'ing dance, but for professional background music play. EX for dinners, mood music, pre-Wedding, cocktail hour, etc.

I'm having trouble with this update for my original Mixtrack Pro. My computer operates with Windows 7. Are they trying to tell me something? ;-(

Just bought pitch & updated to 1.8, the key sync button resets every time i change the track., is this supposed to happen?

I do this by routing an extra mini jack to RCA cable from my Macs audio output, to a mixers dedicated channel...i preferably use Virtual djs automix for it..or itunes is fine also...I know its not what you looking for but at the cost of a single cable, its very convenient for this kind of simply playing background music, while you may be occupied doing other stuff e.g a sound check or a break to eat or anything....

I just use Serato when i intend to mix...but i always do have a vdj shortcut handy and laptops output cabled to the mixer as such....for any-case...VDj loads very fast and can save you on a distress there. Till they implement what you asking for...you got no other option (unless you play a recorded session).

Never had any issues using both programs like that, but still i always shut down VDj after i am done with it

Cheers
Nik

I noticed there's no longer Tempo Matching Display on the software. Is it hidden or simply being removed?

Give thanks.

Removed...:(

you cant drag a crate to make a sub crate...the crate isle wont scroll up nor down to drop in another crate also in the bottom right corner in set where the calibration decks are the numbers are jumbled over top of each other...please fix "@)

my specs. toshiba s55 sat
windows 7 ult 64 bit
16 gb ddr3 ram
intel i7 2.4 ghz

Who ever used that. it was such a waste of space.

Still no bridge, still a CPU hog. A few bells and whistles has got a lot of people hyped for what? Pitch 'n Time DJ (rocks no complaints what so ever). Is it just me? I feel left out in the cold, bamboozled if you will. I bought Ableton live suite 8 and an APC 40 controller rocked my sets @ a few gigs. Now I have Serato DJ I'm a dinosaur already? No compatibility? What give? No love for loyal customers? I still have my SL1 love the sound and flexibility on my SL4 will be buried with my TTM's (yes boys and girls ) Mark I & II. Considering S9 to soon to tell. Okay I'm ranting..... that's my two cents.........

So can anybody give me some options to re-map the Sixty-Two mixer. Mostly everything is needed. I just want somewhere to put the key adjustments. Any advice?

Do you use the cue button? If there not a shift layer button?

That might work. I'll give that a try. Thanks

I do. It helps.

Hey guys

As Serato DJ 1.8 is now out the door, it's probably best to put any feedback you have on tempo matching in the feature suggestion area. The products team keep an eye on this area and are always keen to gather feedback.

Luis.S has started a thread on this feature already; serato.com so it would be as good a place as any to to say your piece.

Thanks, Aaron

Thank you. Will do. Cheers.

when i download 1.8 and go to start up serato I cant see any deck info or waves just pretty much a blank screen?

Usas Mac o Windows?

there are two ways...in offline mode press the button beside tu analize files and click analize entire library then press the analize button

the other way is just drag and put on the analize files button the crates or the files you want reanalize.

This update is awesome, I have just added PnT DJ expansion pack and have been playing with adjusting the Key of both tracks, once again I am a very happy customer.

I love to see comments like this.

There's a lot of negativity on here surrounding new versions and it's nice to hear from someone who appreciates the software and the creativity that it brings.

It would be nice to see more posts like this one from Woodsie68 once in a while.

Peace x

Hola, comentarles que realice la actualizacion a la ultima version de serato dj 1.8, pero me da problemas con mi controladora Pioneer DDJ SX, cuando quiero usar el FX2 el selector 1 con cualquier efecto no responde y se enciende y apaga y no responde, el programa se frizza y deja de funcioanr por un par de segudos y luego reacciona.

Que puedo hacer??, tuve que volver a instalar la anterior version.


A la espera de sus noticias los saludo atentamente.

What happened to the top bpm wave

I'm talking about the tempo line up. Does anyone know why they took it and if they will put it back in. For now I deleted and went back to 1.7.8.

It's gone forever and wont be added back in as far as serato as said so far. Very few people used it. And I for one and happier to have the extra space in the UI for more valuable things.

If your tracks weren't spot on with your bpm it was a nice tool to use for visual confirmation.

Why wouldn't they be. I play pretty much everything and Serato nails it 99.9% of the time. But even so, why not just look at the waveforms, they give you the same information and more?

No actually they don't. Waves don't tell you when your tempos are lined up. Especially if your using tables. If they drift it will show up right away. I was just reading another form about it. A lot of people are saying they want it back but if serato took it out just make it an option so people can decide on there own to use it or not. As for the 99.9 that's not 100 and some tracks like transition ones have different bpms. Now you can go into the beat grid and change that but that's time I don't want to waste when I could just adjust on the fly.

SDJ has an option for 2 decimal places in the BPM display which is one of the reasons the tempo match display was removed.

I fail to see how adding two decimals would be a reason to remove the tempo display. The two decimals do not show up when using turntables and it actually makes it worse. I always go back to ssl bc of that. The tempo display actually helps if you hear something is off and need to make that quick adjustment while loading another track plus doing a long mix over three tracks. All I'm saying is there are some people that never use it and I hear you. I glance at it here and there and I didn't notice it till I used 1.8 at a wedding where a tracks bpm was off and I heard it and wanted to make the quick adjustment while talking to someone so the visual would have been nice. During dinner I deleted 1.8 and went back to 1.7.8. I do like the key shifts but it's not ready to play out yet. Tracks freezing and speed ups jumps as well as audio cut outs. I just annoyed they took out something that is useful to myself and many others. Not everyone but there are enough that they could place it in as an option.

Hello! Numark NS6 does not work with Sync Key Shift Key & Pitch 'n Time DJ applications. What can I do to work? Thanks for the answers: visitor@t-online.hu

Greetings, Is it just me or the font in Serato 1.8 is like "italic impact", I can hardly make out anything. I tried deleting and reinstalling but same results. Anyone else with this issue??

Hi all, I run the 1.8 update with my ddj dx2 now all the gains looks all the way red in every channel, can someone please help? thank you. Also response time in the software is slow.

when I install the new update says missing seratodj.msi file and wont finish the install?

Download the installer again. The zip file may be corrupted.

done that 3 times already.

Hey AutoMATTictx,

Thats a pretty strange issue, I think the best bet would be to get in touch with support: support.serato.com - create a help ticket and provide them with your full specs, screenshots of the error and let them know the steps you have tried to get it fixed. They should be able to get you up and running soon.

Thanks,

Sam

is 1.8 compatible with 10.7.5 osx ?

hola me he descargado la actualizacion 1.8 en 4 oportunidades al instalarla por primera vez no muestra nada la pantalla al correr el programa. al intentar descargar nuevamente no lo hace y me dice error de red. volvere a la version 1.7.8. hasta consegurir ayuda al respecto.

Feature suggestion for something that Serato removed. This is not like we are asking for a new feature. Just put the Tempo Matching Thingy back.

The normal way to do stuff is to conduct a transparent poll before removing essential features.

I'm on 1.7.8
I don't use "4 decks"
I don't use "sync on load"
I don't use the "2 decimal points"
I don't use "Key Matching"
I don't use so many features in Serato that were added on post the Scratch Live Era, but i ve never complained or ask why such features were added.

Its like Serato wants every one to DJ the same way. Peoples work flow are different.

Some Beat-match by ear, others use sync, others the wave whilst i use a combo of everything including Tempo Matching Display.

Some comments here mentioned about how its "good riddance" "and they have more real estate" etc, can i ask what you want Serato to put in that tiny space vacated?

Basic things like the Ability to Delete Tracks/Crates from the library is still not working
CMD + Shift + Del

SMH

I agree too 100% to all

I am getting rather annoyed with these posts, I started DJing 20 years ago on two belt drive decks and a bad mixer, after a few years I bought 2 1210's and a pioneer mixer and my DJing was so much better, then played out for years. 5 years ago I took the step into Digital DJing and after a lot of research found that Serato Live was the closest thing I could find to be like playing on real decks. The 1.8 version of DJ is absolutely awesome, I don't need wave forms, just my ears, but the instant way this works is so much like playing on real decks, if you can't beat match or key match with your ears, then get a grip and love these people for giving us this, rant over!

Since this doesn't affect you in anyway you should be happy and there is no need for the "rant" 😉

Just be happy that Serato DJ as it is now is the way you want it to be until they remove something that is important to you.

Maybe the +/- pitch bending button is the next thing on the way out as there is a pitch slider and most people have jog wheels to nudge yeah.

It's about workflow. This is not a toy, people earn a living using this software solution. I used the 1.8 extensively to see if I'm actually overreacting, but it just ain't right for me without the Tempo thing.

It's a professional software for professionals and amateurs and I believe the opinions of the loyal customers should be sought before removing what's already present.

I don't mind the incessant addition of new features which I may or may not use, but to remove what many are used to is bordering on a paternalistic approach by Serato.

A suggestion is that Serato should have polls of new features being considered and old features they are looking at axing.

I will be okay if they make it an option.

I hope you get this back to how you want it, I like the idea of asking us our opinion about things that might be removed. Happy Spinning

After upgrading to 1.8 I have noticed that when using the load button on my DDJ-SX it pulls up the wrong track, if I click it twice it will pull up the track thats currently playing on the opposite side. I have to manually select the track using my Macbook and then click the load button (rather than using the controller knob and button) for it to actually load the correct track.

Any help with this would be great thanks!

If you have a problem with ITALIC FONTS, try this

www.facebook.com

I use a novation launchpad and managed to change the colours RGY in 1.7.7 version but since then I can't change the colours they stay yellow. I have gone into serato xml file and charged the numbers but no change. Can't we do that in this version?

It did happen to me a zillion times until I downloaded the file using another internet connection and it did manage to finish the installation. So I'd suggest the same

I second on the slow response of the software

When, How Long, Waiting time ?????

Why does it take so much time????????? i need my sl3 but now at time, i must work with rekordbox dj......

Expect 6 months. It should be way less but OS updates should never be done as soon as they come out. It takes time for Apple and software company's to work out all the compatibility issues.

We're hoping to announce support as soon as we can, but Code:E is correct, it can take time.

Especially with this particular OS release because the main issues with it directly affect audio processing.

We'll let you all know as soon as we have something.

Thanks, Aaron

I heard it's not just serato having audio issues either guys, so dont jump on serato as them being the only ones. This is an issue with apple and other audio software.

Anyone else having problems with the video plugin not rendering previews correctly on SDJ1.8?

I don't see the BPM grid which is normally located under the Serato DJ logo. This is very helpful when mixing tracks that were not BPM detected. Is there any adjustments in setting, to bring that option back?

Nope. They removed it from the GUI

Pretty sure there no plans to bring it back. The work around is to never play a track that has not be anaylzed.

I downloaded the new 1.8 update and my NS7 doesn't work.... music sounds distorted.... also I tried to re-download past versions and it's still the same thing... what do I do?

update the firmware for your NS7. check numarks website.

thanks ill give it a try cuz serato wont even email me back and im getting kind of upset about it haha

I really hope you guys get it compatible soon i am out for now and i am planning to wait it out so please make something happen soon, can't wait to play again later.

Hi all

Just a reminder that if you're facing any issues with Serato DJ 1.8, the best way to get help from the team is to open a help request at support.serato.com

Thanks, Aaron

serato.com

Never say never.

It was not BPM grid, but TEMPO MATCH DISPLAY and was replaced by KEY DETECTION NOTE. Check in individual decks the KEY DISPLAY now!

If yours musics have not been pre-analyzed, SDJ only show to you TIME and BPM when you load musics on the decks.

Like djmel 1 Nov

After upgrading I can't drag crates up or down outside the displayed crate window to evoke scrolling.

Also on Toshiba Satellite
Windows 10

Hey dIrTycHeEsE

This is a known issue on Windows that we have now fixed for a coming release.

Cheers

the new update 1.8 for serato dj is flawed its not smooth theres lots of glitches. why would serato release an update thats not ready? my mac exceeds all the minimum requirements needed. but this update can't be used with confidence. when will 1.8 be ready for full use?

Time display (track/time remaining) on video also seams a little off centre
minor issue just thought i mention it

Hello
I haven't analyzed my tracks with serato dj but i can see keys as if it is already analyzed (until today i used Mixed in Key).
That means Serato DJ new key option detect the keys from another analyzer softwares?
And aslo, that if i dont want to deletet this metadatadas i don't have to selct the Set Key option in Analysis Settings?

I am correct?

Thanks!!

Nice uptadate but also think about these easy features:
- authomatic fade in/out (useful when you just play an authomatic playlist)
- erase the blue mark color of a track played (not all the library, just selected tracks),
- panoramic audio option,

Can it Support Numark NS7 and Mac OS X?

You can view the original tags for the files that were analyzed with MIK by going to the Setup menu, then Library + Display, then the box that says Show Key As. Select Original Tag. To answer your second question, yes.

ALL I WANT KNOW IS WHEN SERATO DJ IS GOING TO SUPPORT EL CAPTAIN? I don't want downgrade!! Are you guys working with apple? CMON!!!!

Hi dj-fozzy, are you having an issue with audio drop outs or just visual glitches/slow graphics performance? There is a known issue with the waveforms stuttering a little more on some higher spec Mac computers and hardware configurations. We are looking into this and hopefully can equal out graphics performance across all configurations in an future update. If you are having audio issues please contact our Support Team and we will try to see what is causing the problem.


Thanks for the feedback KdjLeon, i'll pass it on :)


Hi DJ Surda, yes Serato DJ can see Key tags written by other software (Mixed In Key). You can change the key display options in the SETUP screen of Serato DJ. If you choose "Original Tag", it will only show the tag that was on the song file before Serato DJ analyzed it. Hope this helps!

If you do use Mixed In Key to get your songs key, make sure you deselect the "Set Key" option in the Analysis Settings menu before analysing with Serato DJ - otherwise your key tag will be rewritten.


Hi DJ D'cue, yes Serato DJ 1.8 is compatible with the Numark NS7 and Mac OS X (however the latest operating system version, El Capitan, is not currently supported. We hope to offer El Capitan support soon! Please make sure you are on a supported OS serato.com)


Hi TEE CEE, we are working hard to fix any issues with Serato DJ and El Capitan and we should be able to offer official support soon, we've found a few issues we want to make sure are worked on before we offer support, so hold tight! We will let you know as soon as it's out :)

Regards
Scott

Okay Scott I'm holding. lol
I hope it is before the November 21, 2015

review:

Serato DJ 1.8
With 1.8 only just becoming public a few weeks ago, this is easily the newest key detection algorithm in the industry. We were impressed at a strong initial showing from Serato in this roundup. With the addition of the Pitch’n’Time DJ key shifting in 1.8, Serato have a major win for harmonic mixing DJs on their hands.

Major/Minor Triad Test: 67% – eight incorrect.
# of correct tracks (vs human volunteer consensus): 46 (70% correct)
# of Major / Minor misreads: Only 1 – this doesn’t seem to be an issue for Serato DJ

Is the 1.8 release fully compatible with the Vestax VCI‑300MKII DJ Controller? Also with Windows 10?

Thanks in advance

Last Friday night I was at a gig and in the beginning of the night i was playing a pre-mix and all of a sudden the track jumped back to the first cue poit.. Later on in the night when I was mixing the track that was playing skipped to a random cue point 3 separate times. Anybody else have this problem?

Thanks

What hardware are you using. Yes this has been reported a couple of times, but it's not officially logged as a bug yet as it has yet to be found a way to make it repeatable. It so far seems to hardware related. That's why I asked what hardware you are using.

I'm using a rane 62 and pioneer XDJ-1000s

it does stutter for every track the sound drops also and serato video don't work as well. every time i try to use serato video the 3 small displays in the center is completely blank. there is absolutely no type of video only a empty space. i completely removed serato dj 1.8 from my mac and I'm curently using 1.7.8 until a permeant fix is released. also since scratch live is still more reliable and stable then serato dj will it still be available with el captain? if not theres no point of updating my machine

Hi dj-fozzy, we are currently working on El Capitan support, but you are having any issues with 1.8 and a supported operating system I suggest you get in touch with Support as they will be able to help troubleshoot your issue!

If you have blank menus in Serato Video, you might need to remove your Serato Video preference files in Macintosh HD > System > Library > Extensions. Remove any Serato Video related .kext files. Then restart your computer and reinstall Serato DJ again - this should reinstall the .kext files again and might resolve your issue.

Hope this helps!

Im desperate it keeps happening to me so ill try anything at this point

hi,
Usually I arrange by 3 methods, bpm, name & number of tracks, depends on music genre or the latest downloaded... BUT since i've installed the 1.8 i've a problem with arranging my tracks in the library crates, i only can arrange them by 1 way either by bpm, or name, or tracks number !!!! any solution that can help me to arrange my crates as it used to be b4????


thank you

Has Anybody had any problems with the RIGHT DECK "Speeding Up" on its ownafter they UPGRADED to the 1.8.0 version using the Denon MC-2000 ? and also, when are you guys gonna "ALLOW" us dj's the ability to be able to record your "MIC INPUT" while i record my set ?

Hey guys



Are you talking about having the ability to do a 'secondary sort' i.e. sort by BPM, then have the BPM sort remain while sorting by key etc? If so, I'm afraid we have never had this functionality in our library system. It's a really cool idea and something we would like to bring in though.



Definitely open a help request with the support team about the 'speeding up' if you haven't already. You can get in touch here: support.serato.com

Being able to record the MIC input is hardware dependent and due to the mix architecture of the MC2000, recording the MIC is not possible. Your best bet would be to run the master out to your laptop and record using a third party app like audacity. Check this article for how to get it done: support.serato.com



El Capitan is now supported in Serato DJ 1.8, but it is very dependent on which hardware you are using. Read this article for more detail: support.serato.com

Aaron

Ah cool, I see what you're saying now medoz



To get this done, you just need to go into Setup > Library + Display and select 'Custom Crate Columns'. This will allow you to have different sorting preferences for different crates.

I'm not sure why this changed for you when you installed SDJ 1.8 - your preferences file must have been reset somehow.

Cheers, Aaron

Thumps up to this key detection feature, goodbye Mixed In Key.

KEY DETECTION ON MP4 files would be greatly appreciated. DJing is advancing and VJing is becoming more and more popular. My whole music library is turning into mp4 coz am adding custom visuals to tracks and the link feature does not sync video sequence to the music accurately, so pre rendered mp4 files are the best to maintain video sync and stability while scratching videos... PLEASE!!!! Serato, give us key detection on mp4 files or better yet on all file types that play in Serato DJ.

Hey Dj Trickx

Key detection in serato DJ works with mp4 files. If you are having trouble with this, open a help request with the support team and someone will help you out: support.serato.com

Aaron

serato,

please confirm that at current time my CDJ 350's will not work with serato dj 1.8?

thanks

Hey boats97

They will work with control CDs in ABS or REL mode no problem, but they are not supported in HID mode.

Aaron

when is serato dj 1.8.0 will be compatible with aosx el capitan que someone help with this question?

The software is compatible, but most hardware is not. Don't expect it to be 100% for another 6 months.

Not sure if i got it right.
With the pitch ´n time update, is it now possible to change the key but maintain the speed/pitch at the same time?
thx

Hi boba, yes that's right :)

With Pitch 'n Time DJ you can now Key Shift up/down and also Key Sync to automatically match the key on other decks. When using Key Sync it will sync to the nearest compatible key available (it won't always be a direct match).

Hope this helps!
Regards

Excellent, thanks for the info.
greetings, boba

Hello All,

Class compliant Numark DJ controllers should have no issue connecting to Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan and are supported.

As a reminder, we do not recommend updating to OS X 10.11 El Capitan until your Numark product is listed as compatible from this article - www.numark.com

As for our older Numark products that require a driver download, Numark is currently testing out the latest El Capitan drivers for your Numark controllers. Now that all that current Numark products are supported, NS6 support is currently our top priority then followed closely by the NS7, 4TRAK and V7, based most importantly on the number of users out there. We're currently active in our third round of testing.

As always, as soon as the driver is ready, we will post the driver on the appropriate product pages.

Thanks!

Hello! I'm so happy and very proud to be with Serato DJ for many years. Many has subject to chance for many reasons. Us un update.

Last week my cousin gave me a Numark M6 USB 4 channel Mixer as a gift for my birthday... I was wondering and I know that the hardware that i mentioned are not supported with our serato dj software. I just wanna used it for my gigs, in my club or maybe on the out side bookings. I hope you guys that it can maybe or you can discuss it with our support team.

Thank You. And advance Happy New Year ! ;)

Hi Guys,

Just an update on 1.8.1
Its working GREAT 4 me with my mac pro and DDJ-SX, using 10.9.5
I have used it a few times now at gigs and seems a lot better than 1.8.0.

Keep up the good work guy's

P.S any news on the bridge being added to Serato DJ

Thanks

Hey DJ HOUSE C and DJ Pommy D

Thanks for the positive feedback, always appreciated!

@HOUSE C - thanks, I'll pass that on to our products team.

@Pommy D - no announcements about the bridge sorry, though some of the functionality will be returning at some point. Which parts did you use most?

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

I haven't used the bridge before or Scratch Live but what I have seen about it I Like. It would be a GREAT feature to add to Serato DJ and I see a lot people do want it as well.
Sooner than later would better!!!

DJ Pommy D

im a beginner, i have a Numark mixtrack pro it works great with the Serato DJ intro and i wanted to try the Serato DJ 1.8 and everything work except the headphone i can hear the song that is playing but not the second song that i want to mix in???

Hello DJ Oli,

Thanks for the post! We can certainly help you out! If you can headphone cue properly in Serato DJ Intro, you can headphone cue in Serato DJ. That wouldn't change. Are you using the 1st generation Mixtrack Pro? If so, to properly headphone cue with the Mixtrack Pro, you'll need to connect powered speakers to your RCA Master Output. Make sure you're hitting the CUE button on the deck that you wish to hear in your headphones. Turn your CUE MIX knob all the way to the left.

If you are using a Windows computer and your hardware doesn't connect then you should:

1. Close all applications

2. Navigate to Start Menu> Control Panel > Sound

3. Select your computer's internal soundcard or speakers as the default Playback device

4. Select your computer's internal soundcard or microphone as the default Recording device

5. Check the Communications tab to see if you need to set the internal soundcard as the default device. (this is not always necessary, as with some Windows versions there is no option to set a device in this tab)

6. Open your Serato software and try to connect your hardware once more

For any FUTURE hardware related questions like this one, please post on our Numark Forum to help you out - community.numark.com. Thanks!

This new feature helps a lot, tho i have not used yet but looks so great. Instead of doing key songs one by one from Mixed in key softwares.

For Me?? Pitch 'n Time / Key Shifting, was the Ultimate Tools in Serato DJ. It's Perfect to Match or to Blend music or videos with the same identities but with Different Key-Tones. Resulting to the Excellent Live Remixed, using Serato DJ with Pitch 'N Time. :)

yes I think so , I'm mixzy I use Serato DJ
