Simple Sync

Serato DJ 1.1.0 introduces Simple Sync functionality for both 2 and 4 deck controllers. Simple Sync is an easy way of Tempo Matching and Transient Snapping your tracks together without using beatgrids. You will notice Simple Sync is selected when you run 1.1.0 for the first time.

If you would like to continue using Smart Sync (as you were in version 1.0) you simply need to go to the Serato DJ Setup screen and select 'Smart Sync' as your Sync type in the DJ Preferences tab.

Your sync option will be remembered when you close and re-open the software.

Activation

Serato DJ 1.1.0 introduces an activation process in the software, which only applies to supported Serato DJ Intro controllers that require the purchase of a Serato DJ license.

NOTE: The Pioneer DDJ-SX does not require a Serato DJ license purchase. When you first download Serato DJ you will see a license panel appear on the right hand side, and the software will be in Library View Mode.

Simply tick the box DO NOT SHOW AGAIN in the bottom right hand corner, then click on LICENSE which will hide this panel and remember these settings for when you next open the software. You can now change the view mode using the drop down menu in the top left hand corner.
