New Features

Lucid Beatgrids

Serato DJ now uses a new Beatgrid analysis engine that produces significantly more accurate Beatgrids across a wider range of music. The new algorithm understands tempo changes, dynamic tracks, live drumming, and complex intros and outros, placing tempo markers throughout the entire track.

Beatgrid BPM Resolution: Configure BPM changes to be at Bar or Beat level.

Waveform BPM Labels: The waveform display now shows BPM labels at points where tempo changes occur.

New Beatgrid Edit Controls:

  • Set Grid Start: Set a new position for the first downbeat marker while keeping the existing Beatgrid.
  • Set Beat/Set Bar: Set either Beat or Bar level tempo markers.

Open Streaming: Log into and use more than one streaming provider at the same time.
