cntrlsgnl 7:06 AM - 14 February, 2006
1. the abilty to assign different 10 differnt tracks to the 10 individual rings on the A side of the control vinyl.

2. key lock.

3. auto loop. so if the loop points are off a little bit when you loop on the fly it corrects it dead nuts.
DJ Nat 9:35 AM - 14 February, 2006
1 Crate management (sub/smart crates, album art browser)
2 Track linking
3 Internal player while disconnected
BassChamber 10:13 AM - 14 February, 2006
1. track linking, or a better way to manage our SSL music library (at least subcrates)

2. key lock / pitch n time

3. auto looping / perfect loop bars adjustement.

(4. modular GUI :D, or the possibility to turn on/off and resize the different GUI areas)
nik39 10:16 AM - 14 February, 2006
1. Crate management (sub/smart crates, album art browser), link crates to folders.
2. Ability to listen, set cues, order etc tracks w/o the S-S-L box attached to it.
3. Right click
***Just in case Sams decide to extend it to the top 5 wishlist:
4. Extended/combined relative and absolute mode so I can use loops/edits in "absolute" mode as well (I hate using relative mode cause I need to fiddle around with the mouse to jump
5. Loops with adjustable cycle number, so that can do real edits inside S-S-L ***
(In case you wonder, I cant post S-S-L w/o dashes cause I get an error message "no shouting please" ;) Nice idea which needs some tweaking)
djxatl 3:22 PM - 14 February, 2006
1. some kind of track linking or subcrates
2. assignable keyboard shortcuts
3. nothing else - im happy
Anton 3:24 PM - 14 February, 2006
1. Link crates to folder and more complex crate managment
2. Links track with each over as described here: scratchlive.net
3. Internal player - just player (maybe without pitch etc. - just for cue settings and track managment)
Konix 4:15 PM - 14 February, 2006
1. Pitch n Time
2. ASIO/Core drivers
3. Subcrates and/or Explorer Tree style browsing in crate area
-----
4. Auto Looping (1,2,4,8,16,32, etc. bars)
DeezNotes 5:08 PM - 14 February, 2006
1. Advanced crate management (which includes a right-click menu to link crates to folders, update crate contents when linked, hide/view crates, rename/delete crates, select multiple crates via ctrl-click to view contents of more than one crate in the main window, etc)

2. Improved overview building; like when overwriting a file - prompt to overwrite all overviews, skip overviews already built, overwrite older overviews, viewing the version of overviews built within Scratch Live... was that suggested?

3. Start at first sound detected instead of first cue point (like cdj players do) - or have the option to choose

4. Improved versioning (which includes applying version numbers to shortcuts and executables)

5. Auto-adjusting loops
mister iLL 5:12 PM - 14 February, 2006

djxmind 11:06 PM - 14 February, 2006
1. subcrates
2. key lock
3. it should have a error sending report system like windows or something...where if it crashes it sends you the info automatically. But this is just a random suggestion...i would add this if u cant find nething else
Thundercat 11:28 PM - 14 February, 2006
Most of my suggestions are going to be of the 'me too' kind. Follow along if you will:

2. Improved overview building logic as per DeezNotes above.
   2a. Ability to build overviews w/ SL1 attached as per Axledental above.
3. Simple right click functionality ie.
   a. Load to deck (1, 2)
   b. Delete from crate
   c. Delete from library
   d. (re)build overview
   etc.
4. Customizable GUI (full or partial) like fonts, color schemes etc.
    Even if it is just a couple templates to chose from.
Dj Chris Deza 4:00 AM - 15 February, 2006

spirez 3:02 PM - 15 February, 2006
Pitch N Time - We need this so that the FS2 boys can stop going on about SSL not having it, lol

Subcrates or something of the kind for better file management.

BPM detector that automatically calculates BPM whilst building overviews.

Autolooping would be cool too
Revolutionary 3:55 PM - 15 February, 2006
My only wish is really just subcrates...
Cutmastea 4:15 PM - 15 February, 2006

1. subcrates
2. bpm analyser
3. aac support
nobspangle 9:49 AM - 17 February, 2006
1. customisable shortcuts - some of the current shortcuts are a mess because of all the new features, they can't be changed because there should be continuity between versions, customisable has to be the way to go.

2. Better label markers - got to get rid of that jumping marker when two cues are withing 4 rotations of each other.

3. auto looping, linked to bpm, 1 bar/half a bar etc.
Daim 5:48 PM - 17 February, 2006

Mix recording ...

... would be great feature, too (with the ability to choose the recorded file path and into what file format like wav, aiff or mp3 it will be saved).

Never mind. I guess it couldn`t work because the mixed audio comes out of the mixer and not out of SSL :-)

Other (in no order):
Auto gain
Super fast itunes crate loading on start up
Record mix's using internal soundcard

Midi control
Counted loops... ie. run for 10 times
Control video with Control vinyl
DaJuan 3:15 AM - 19 February, 2006
Hi there! My personal favorites:
Top3

-Loops in/out
-Bpm analysis
-Master tempo (time stretch pitch)

And then:

-auto gain
-aac, m4a support
-subcrates

SSL is already the best product on the market, but with those features it would be absolutly flawless!

Juan
DaBrain 3:32 AM - 19 February, 2006
1. Master tempo
2. Live looping/pre edited looping
3. Beat matching display filtering (i posted about this feature before)



I think that Auto gain and auto BPM is bad cuz both could never be 100% right about every track.
I never saw any BPM counter that is 100% correct.
Auto gain is just dangerous. Maybe a "Gain meter" instead (if your mixer doesn't have it)... :^`
DaBrain 3:40 AM - 19 February, 2006
Gotta add that someone once suggested "hide track name" and i loved that one too...
D-MINH 7:23 AM - 20 February, 2006

Have the internal mode have "inertia".. when I try to do a backspin in internal mode it stops as soon as I unclick... I would like it to have some intertia similar to a turntable.
society 4:43 PM - 23 February, 2006
I'll give you my top one:

1. Key correction.

That's all I really want. Subcrates would be nice, but key correction is a must. PnT in particular would also be nice but I obviously understand if you guys want to keep that separate or whatever. Key correction please!

Also, why do we need ASIO drivers? Didn't the 1.4 download come with ASIO drivers for the MP4?
mexicannnnnn 5:22 PM - 23 February, 2006

ASIO drivers for the SL1 would means you could use the SL1 in any application as a normal soundcard.

1.4 did come with ASIO drivers for the MP4 only.

1.6 will come with ASIO drivers for the TTM57.
DJ Ovadose 4:52 AM - 24 February, 2006
The only thing I request is a wider pitch range.....ie. when i set the turntable pitch control at -8% the program would let me change it to -16% or -32%......

i can use my pioneer cdj's to get a wider pitch range, but i bought ssl to use vinyl! and i know i can buy turntables other than technichs, but what if i have to mix somwhere where they only have technichs?

I do alot of "Screwed" mixshows (mixshows where hip hop trax are slowed down anywhere from -16% to -24%).

The way i'm doing it now is extremely time consuming. i have to slow down each song and save it in a separate "screwed" folder.

If the PnT plug takes care of this problem, please tell me how much it costs!!!! i'll be the first in line to buy it!!!

i apologize for the long post.

Just press the 45 button in SSL and have your turntables set to 33 RPM.

That's your CD deck, not SSL. Buy a CDX.
Kieron 1:51 AM - 26 February, 2006
Not as easy as that. I'm a resident at two clubs - both have their own equipment - Denon DN4000's.
Soba 2:06 AM - 26 February, 2006
Well, you're screwed then hahaha. In any case there's nothing that could be fixed in SSL to avoid it.
Kieron 2:21 AM - 26 February, 2006
Two things I can think of to sort it.

Allow you to offset the track start position a few milliseconds.

Or, allow you to blank the first few milliseconds of playback - thus "blanking" over the stutter.

Admittedly, there is no way to remedy the problem, but the above would be two workable hacks to "mask" the problem.
Soba 2:57 AM - 26 February, 2006
Hmmm, you could try just setting the cue point a beat beforehand and 'muting' with your fader, or alternatively just keep the CD playing in Relative mode and use Serato's cues instead.

I like this idea...basically I'd envision a pitch-range button in the GUI (similar to that on the Pioneer CDJ players) that clicking on would toggle between ranges (the button would have a number displayed on it to indicate the currently-selected range).

What I would especially like is if this feature included a narrower-than-normal range (+/- 4%) so that the turntable pitch slider provided twice the resolution. That would be great for DJ's who ride long mixes and typically don't use large pitch changes.

So maybe the selectable ranges would be 4, 8, 16, 32, 100.

3. SSL's own version of Smart Playlists (so I can avoid iTunes)
DJK 7:08 AM - 1 March, 2006
1. Sub Crates! (or support for itunes playlist folders)
2. Fix Relative mode sticker drift!!
3. Video! - I know this is a ways off, but it is such a big thing for me! I really want to get into it, and I havn't found an option I like, since I HATE Pioneer and ms pinky is uber ghetto in my opinion.

I'm all for enhancements to the UI (as I'm about to write more on in a moment), but spending any development time on something as frivolous as "skins" seems wasteful at this point.
DJMark 10:28 AM - 1 March, 2006
My top 3 requests are going to be a bit different from most people's:

1) Adjust the fonts for song title at the top of the screen so the letters are perhaps 2 points smaller and not in boldface...because as they are they very often over-run the screen in 1024x768. It's the one part of the UI that looks distractingly sketchy to me.

1a) (even nicer would be if the font-size "self-fitted" depending on the length of the titles, but I assume that would consume more time to accomplish.)


2) I would really like it if, with a keystroke, you were able to make the whole interface be replaced with large (full-screen) "Title"/"Artist" text in white letters/black screen (two keystrokes, actually, so you could select which deck to display this for). The reason would be the ability to display this/superimpose this onto the visual displays used in a lot of clubs (the simple nature of the screen I've described would lend itself to easy/clean superimposition over other visuals). Obviously this would need to be engineered in such a way that all functionality of SSL remained active while the display was in one of these modes.

This would be a great way for DJ's to actually promote the music they're playing (especially for those of us who play less-commercial formats of music....my number one reason for people coming to the booth on any given night is "what is this song?"). This is actually something fairly important as, in todays ultra-corporate-controlled media environment, club DJ's are one of the few open venues for people to be exposed to other music.


3) My third most-wanted feature would be to have a single (user-selectable) 24 dB/octave lowpass/highpass filter for each deck. This would be adjustable with the mouse, a pair of up/down keyboard controls (if we haven't run out of them), or....the control vinyl itself (when the deck is playing in internal mode, of course). In that last mode, you'd move the record forward to raise the corner frequency of the filter, backwards to lower it. This probably sounds fairly freaky, but could open up a whole new creative realm of vinyl-controlled audio effect processing. Seems like it's worth a shot, at any rate.

nik39 4:41 PM - 3 March, 2006
Change my mind:

1. Crate management (sub/smart crates, album art browser), link crates to folders.
2. Equalizer, settings are stored per track/file
3. Right click

***Just in case Sams decide to extend it to the top 6 wishlist:
4. Ability to listen, set cues, order etc tracks w/o the S-S-L box attached to it.
5. Extended/combined relative and absolute mode so I can use loops/edits in "absolute" mode as well (I hate using relative mode cause I need to fiddle around with the mouse to jump
6. Loops with adjustable cycle number, so that can do real edits inside S-S-L ***

Ohh.. what about a built in crossfader for internal mode. ;-)
nobspangle 9:31 AM - 4 March, 2006
I've changed my mind too
1. customisable shortcuts - some of the current shortcuts are a mess because of all the new features, they can't be changed because there should be continuity between versions, customisable has to be the way to go.

2. Ultra pitch same as on a vestax turntable (adjust the centre point of the pitch fader ±50%).

3. auto looping, linked to bpm, 1 bar/half a bar etc.
Couin 12:21 PM - 4 March, 2006
1. A new mode : AUT
It could be a mix between ABS and REL :
Plays like ABS (for needle dropping) but when encountering a loop, it could loop (if loop is ON). We could jump to cue points, all like in REL.

2. BPM analyser integrated : SSL knows to draw bars of rythm, it could calculate the BPM. With BPM value, loops could be perfect too.

3. Customizable shortcuts.
Soba 6:17 AM - 5 March, 2006
the AUT mode could be as simple as a button to click in Relative mode

Just a wish in regards to 1.6 and TTM57:

Please, please, please put some kind of software theft protection in 1.6. So when 1.6 is running and there is an internet connection it will verify that the unit is not reported stolen. If it is then it will deactive the hardware.

Then the theif will call up Rane and say "hey my unit isnt working, what do I do?".

Rane says "Oh just send it to us and well take a look into it:

Theif "Ok"

After Rane reiceves it "Oh it looks likes its stolen and has now been sent to the rightful owner, law inforcment has been notified and will contact you shortly"

Real Owner, " :-) "

btw, are there any mixers on the market with this option? or are there too many issues involved with bluetooth technology.

BUSTAMOVE90210 11:37 PM - 16 March, 2006
as a professional dj for over 17 years. i've moved to serato and have been testing the beta 1.5. here are a few suggestions for improvements from my years of experience.

1. a scroll down and up arrow on the right hand side of your library is needed. many djs don't have the hands free time to be scrolling the page down and page up key and its designed to make navigating possibilities easier.

2. this is THE MOST IMPORTANT...when switching in between crates the screen must return to the last highlighted track. when the dj has to scroll down to that track again it takes WAY too much time for the club atmosphere (this has been my biggest complaint from fellow djs). in comparison it would be like popping your dual copy vinyl record up in the crate, taking out one record to play, popping it back down and then trying to locate it again while playing. or getting a cd from your case, closing and trying to re-locate.

3. a shortcut to switch between hiding display of the track playing with independent cotrol of each side for this function. let me clarify. each dj booth is set up differently and people may or may not be able to look at the beautiful Serato display (in fact people are more drawn towards watching what you're doing when they see the laptop), however if you load the next track they see what's coming on next which takes away from the power of the dj knowing and no one else should. it also leads to a lot of crap from couch quarterback djs telling you to select something else :-)

4. the first option in the prepare window should be set up so the order you're loading the tracks in is how the window reads and not by song name or bpm. the dj should be able to instantly move the tracks to whatever order he wants to prepare them to play**. i'm not quite sure if you can already do this. if you can. someone please get me up to par on this.

5. finally an instant set folder should be created or option to begin an instant set folder should be available with time stamp of when the song played. once again i'll clarify. while playing the dj doesn't have time to hit the review, create a folder and look at songs last played or even to quickly scroll through this list in the prepare window, in addition if another dj gets on the wheels he should be able to quickly look at this folder and see this information so that tracks are not repeated.
on point 1 it's the up-down arrows that appear in the far right hand corner of a windows or mac when you have a long list. on Serato you have the bar but not these arrows as an option for scrolling.

on point 5 i'll try and be clearer by describing a hypothetical situation. ok so you've been dj-ing for over two hours and you want to look at what you've played THAT night but you have so many mp3s and you've forgotten to or chose not to clear the green highlighted tracks from your gig the previous night. if you hit the review it will show all these green tracks. i feel that if there was a simpler optional folder "HISTORY" that's located on the left hand side of the Serato display you or another dj giving you a break could quickly jump into this folder and look at the history of songs played those last few hours or days. another example is if you're dj-ing and you're thinking ahead to a few tracks you're planning to play so you place them in prepare. another song pops into your head that you know you've played but you want to know exactly when that was without losing the songs set up in your prepare window when you hit review. basically a history folder similar to windows explorer or mac safari is what i'm talking about that's automatically available with a preference feature that allows you to set a range to look at a few days to a weeks worth of what you've played in these sub folders.

on point four if you hit the nuber column it will line your tracks up in the way you FIRST loaded them into the prepare window. what if you want to place your tracks in a specific order that is not by bpm, song name or number order in which you loaded the tracks into prepare. how do you do this?

at my gig last night i noticed something in 1.5 that i forgot to mention in previous suggestion posts and i'm not sure if it happens to anyone else. i was playing on pioneer cdjs 1000 mk 11s. if you execute a loop and then load another track this track doesn't cause ssl to treat it like a new track loaded at a start of track cue. it loads the new track looping. why would a dj want to load a completely new track looping without even knowing what point in the track is looping? can serato change this so every new track loaded clears out the old info (as if you ejected the old cd) and is treated as a fresh track?

GRATE IDEA!!!
vidoona 8:13 AM - 29 March, 2006
I agree that that is a great idea, but I would like it to be highly selectable what you can turn on and off. Sometimes, in a club with shady monitors / no monitors and bad acoustics, I like having the wave forms to double check myself, but the beat match thingy in the middle is no use to me, so the idea would be to turn off the beat matcher and keep the waveforms saving a little CPU power and giving me only what I need.

key assignment like the new Vestax turntable has.
Soba 8:04 AM - 31 March, 2006
The buttons on the Vestax Controller One don't digitally change the key, they just jump to different turntable speeds. The notes are relative to 0% at 33 1/3 RPM being middle C. So basically, it's not something that could be incorporated into software.
vidoona 8:24 AM - 31 March, 2006
What's supposed to be the point of that? Changing tempo independently of pitch allows you to beatmatch. Changing tempo and pitch separately allows you to mix harmonically and beat match, but what does this feature possibly offer you?

On a side note for Soba......this can be integrated. I think was Napali means is buttons on the GUI and having the software change the pitch. But hey, that's already coming.....Pitch n' Time
AKIEM 9:18 AM - 31 March, 2006
well it might be cool to cenect midi to switch the pitch in time. meaning, touch a key, pitch up/down a key.
vidoona 9:41 AM - 31 March, 2006
True true.......but for this vestax thing to change pitch in half/full music note increments, does it not also need to count bpm of the source material (on the vinyl to do the speed calculation correctly? This would be impossibly using control vinyl.

I should probably read the manual for this thing...
AKIEM 9:54 AM - 31 March, 2006
mmmmmm, Im not sure. if your talking about the tt that switches pitch by note, i dont think its "in time" meaning the pitch changes, but so does the tempo..... dont quote me on that, havnt touched one
vidoona 10:23 AM - 31 March, 2006
eh, I guess it doesn't really apply to anything I'm really that interested in anyway, so I might as well stop polluting this thread.
Soba 11:39 AM - 31 March, 2006
The point of it is for scratch musicians to play melodies with single samples... an extension of what they do now with the pitch slider. You couldn't use a digital algorithm for that as it would screw up the sound of the scratching
The differences between notes are mathmathically relative to each other...halfing a frequency will alway be an octave drop etc. It doesn't work by bpm linking.
I can definitely see how a p'n't style key adjust would be useful, i was just explaining that's not what the Vestax deck does.
vidoona 12:06 PM - 31 March, 2006
I getcha....I didn't think through that bpm/pitch thing enough. It's been awhile since music theory class in HS.

As far as that digital algorithm - I don't think it would screw up scratching. After all, you'll still be able to scratch with PnT and my CDN-88 has key control independently of tempo and that can be changed while scratching. It would just take a A/D converter, a processor and then a D/A converter (or just leave it as a digital out).
Soba 12:33 PM - 31 March, 2006
Nah, it does, try it on any cd deck or turntable with pitch correction. Scratching is all about hitting different pitches and the algorithm just tries to correct everything. You can still cut, it just sounds crazy as hell.

sorry about the threadjack
vidoona 12:45 PM - 31 March, 2006
I honestly haven't had a problem on the CDN-88. Granted, I bought it for harmonic mixing and not for scratching (3 in. wheel), but I haven't noticed a problem. When I had FS2 (and it was actually working), you could scratch with master tempo on. It works fine on my dns-1000s too with master tempo on.

4- Better looping/Looping in ABS mode like on the traktor crap!!

Pitch range isn't determined by SSL. It depends on the input device's pitch range. So, if your turntables have plus/minus 16 percent, that's what SSL gives you.

Dj Blaze 11:51 AM - 18 June, 2006
My vote would include:

1: KEY LOCK for sure.
2: Beat Sync'able Loops.
3: Lastly, with the Auto function used in Relative and Internal... I would like to see a fading option used to fad 'song to song' with a knob in the setup panel that could adjust the fading time into the next track.

Also on the train today it hit me..

Why not have a sound card (head phone jack) only, one deck only, no pitch, no features mode when not plugged in to the USB (Stand alone) just for listening to tracks to add cue points and make crates. I could have made use of my 1 hour commute by adding cue points. Manually tapping BPMs is only gonna last me another month or so... :O

@ idlemind1999, u could do what i did.... velcro that puppy (sl1 box) to tha rear of your lappy screen.

note: i though i can easily rip it off from my lappy, until i tried to, so now my sl1 box is PERMANENTLY attached to my lappy. no worries....at least i know it won't grow legs and walk away :)

TTM 57 wish list

1. Rewire to hosts like Ableton or Logic for recording sets
2. Some mad 3rd party plugins for effects etc.
3. Vestax 07 pro style upfader curve capability.
4. Traktor style auto loop for seemless looping anywhere in the track

This would be so handy at the moment I use my desktop to do all mp3 work appart from cues and loopz so I have to keep syncing between the 2 machines via my iPod. If I could do all editing on my desktop I would only have to sync 1 way (pc to laptop) and save on time, energy & frustration :( which = more mixing :)

agreed....

more draw backs are.
1. lappy screen sometime SLAMS shut (sl1 box too heavy)
2. lappy screen falls back MAX open ( " " " " )

3. safteynet for crashes (until they stop) so track/s keeps playing even when programe dies (does abelton have something like this?)

great product anyways..

4. short cut for loopinglock-the less time on the mouse pad the better!
Idlemind1999 4:36 PM - 29 June, 2006
Just to recap on my wish list...


1. CTRL-Click to select more than one file attribute when
browsing (more than one BPM to create a BPM range or a BPM,
Genre or some other thing to create browse results)

2. CuePoint only mode. a crippled, featureless play mode without
hardware (No pitch, headphone jack output only, using
internal mode buttons) so that I can audition tracks and do
cue points on the plane.

3. Use more of the iTunes xml data (play count, last played,
date imported, rating) Not sure if iTunes made this Read only
data or if u can play with it.

4. Make BPMs part of the Overview process

5. Make use of the iTunes compatibility but still have crates
saved as folders with shortcuts in them or something. And
make Serato dump the PartyShuffle and all the other lists
that we dont use.

1) Everybody I know who questions buying Serato mentions this one, and this would be huge for me:

Ability to connect different songs to the same deck's Cue Point list, just as Pioneer CDJ's can, such as instrumental, acapella, different song, etc., all from the same deck--that's a definite necessity for how many of us DJ here in Atl.

2) Looping should be more advanced--why can't loops be able to be triggered and stuttered just like cue points, from the number pad?

3) Auto-looping

OK I know right now there is an option under setup where it require you use the shift key to use the cue keys but, when I beat juggle I find myself when I get going fast accidentally hitting the F1-8 keys and switching the play mode, instead of hitting the cue I'd like.

Is there anyway I can get this added to serato? so that I have to hit shift to use the F keys?

An option to switch to all thumbnail pics (album cover work) in the main view instead of all words which look blurry after a couple of drinks, letters look all the same. also being a visual memory type like alot of other people it would be quicker and easier to select tracks instead of making pre sets for every gig which a dj should never ever do.

1. Pitch lock like the CDX not the CDJ, so you can lock it at +3% (or whatever the user wants). On the CDX you can actually change the pitch by the semi-tone. It would be cool if you could put in the +/- value and hit enter and it changes the key immediately. I did this cool mix on a pair of CDx with an acapella over This Is How We Do and changed the melody of the beat using different key settings.... 2 bars normal, 2 bars -5... (yeah it changes the whole beat but it was still tight).

2. Hot cue points that are set and triggered by a key (not the flippin' mouse).

3. Dedicated Loop in/Loop out keys (not the mouse again).
birdbrain 6:10 PM - 14 July, 2006
i guess i'd also like to have set loop iterations i.e. 1 bar or 4 bars etc so the loop stays perfectly on beat.

Now that you mention it... YES... as I originally understood it, one of the selling points was that it was, "A Mixtape DJs Dream" because you could record both the A and B mix on seperate files. so they could be layed out in your favorite DAW and edited. I would like very much to do this. But honestly I hate to make complaints. This product absolutely rocks...I feel funny even mentioning it. Its like taking my Benz back because the cigarette lighter doesnt work.

1) BPM Tap/Auto/Adjust with pitch

Maybe it could be a hydrid Abs & Rel mode. For example, lets say you have a song thats 3mins. The 1st downbeat (kick drum for example) could be about 20sec into the track. So then set up a cue point at the 20sec mark. Lets say you don;t have the vinyl offset feature on, and you use the 0:00.00 mark on your record at the start of the song. If you use the cue point and jump to the 20sec mark, effectively 0:00.00 on the record would be 0:20.00 on the song. If you were to 'rewind' the record, it wouldn't play anything before the 20sec mark. Also, if the record jumped, it would act like absolute.

This could be ok as with some songs I always find myself either a) using a wave editor to chop of the beginning that i dont want or b) manually cueing the record, which can get annoying and slow you down on a quick mix

If I load a track and Im in REL mode and I am using the cue buttons alot and then I search for a track there needs to be a key or squence such as CTRL + SHIT + ALT + Q that will exit the search box so you can continue to use the cue bottons instead of finding that track your already using and loading it again.

Yes, they're all the same bypass mod suggestion. That's how crucial i think it is xP

Also, there is no point to integrate auto BPM/BPM analyzing with Serato
Bronx 77 3:26 AM - 20 July, 2006
1. Automatic BPM reader that adjusts as you mix.

2. Built in Sampler. Great for DJs who have numerous drops they like to use during their set to let the audience know who is spinning.

-The sampler should be a button somewhere on the screen you press while a track is being played on either deck. Must be independant from the decks. 8 sampling banks should be enough at 15 seconds each bank.

3. Key Lock (Note Lock) Keeps the same note of the song even if sped up or slowed down (prevents chipmunk voice if sped up)

4. Built in effects such as delay, reverb, flanger etc.

5. Some kind of feature that will make all your mp3s the same volume or level so that every song is uniformed.

6. A feature that allows you to (+-50%) a record.

Serato is good because it allows the user to do everything a normal DJ does manually. Auto BPM adjustments aren't neccesary whatsoever.

Sampler, use Triggerfinger or internal mode

Key lock will come out in a program called Pitch n Time which will hopefully be Serato integrated soon.

Effects are included with the 57.

This is your fault, not Serato's. Encode your songs properly and resist getting music from illegal sources.

Use your turntables/CDJs to get a song to +50 pitch.

There is a tag in .mp3's that sets gain level that can be modified by software, such "MP3Gain." It'd be better done in Serato (not current feature.

An extra channel is needed to leave the two decks free. This has been requested many times here.

This still doesn't answer the need for a BPM tagger. Yes, there are other programs, but many of us would like to deit everything in Serato, which is not currently possible.

Thats only partly correct. There is a tag indeed, which is used by SSL (and iTunes for example). Mp3gain itself does not use this tag, it "alters" the mp3stream a "little" (laymans words).

I assume you mean the automatic gain adjustment, this is missing indeed.

Hey Nik39 Ok you know in REL or INT mode you use your Cue buttons 1 thru 0, ok now your ready to find that next track or you get a request so you click the search box and you type in saw "nelly" and bam you see your nelly tracks ok, now I wanna do something with my cue points such as punch in a different section of the track. I push 1 and it puts a 1 in the search box, the only way I've found to get out of the search box is find the track that is in one of your decks, I would use the one that is not playing and re-drop it into the deck. now you can use your cue buttons again. Make Sense?
dja_one 6:36 AM - 23 July, 2006
Key lock...PERIOD!

Until you have used it and got out of jams because of that feature (playing a song at 110bpm and you have nothing else that would drive the crowd crazy except a song that is 117 or 102) you will never now how valuable this shit is.

1) ability to undo green tracks individually, or something similar like discussed in other post

Thats a very complicated description for a simple (already implemented) feature

Click outside the search field.

Or

Hit the tab button to get out of the search field and jump to the search results

Or

Hit the "esc" button.

Session Manager- you save session by dj, or by club, where crates will auto fill per session, so you dont have to reconfigure each time. Something easily handled by the software.

any features that drag SSL out of the 90s would be nice, I've had it for 4 months, gone from 1.4 to 1.6.1,without seeing hardly anything! Just look at the Features of Traktor or Ableton. SSL is no where near it. All the suggestions I see here are already featured on other apps. SSL works but thats it .I cant wait for it to get in line with everything else. Mine is for sale!

The program is fine as it is to me, just one important feature I miss the most is the Right Click capibility for PC's as WELL as for Mac with of course the seperate Build overview functionality, that would be nice.
Clark @ Breakin-Records.com 1:22 PM - 27 July, 2006
YES! Righ click is needed. Serato's menu capabilities aren't as functional as most Win programs.
DJPozzi 4:12 PM - 27 July, 2006
I had a thought. it may have already been listed, but an EQ to adjust the overall output would be great. I work a club that is set up totally wrong. There's too much top end. I generally have the hi control sitting at quarter to 12 on both channels cause otherwise it pierces your ear drums!!??
galacticbass 11:14 PM - 27 July, 2006
I see that Serato compared to other products is only releasing stable upgrades with so few flaws and it's amazing. Tractor has some much more and even on a high end computer has lots of problems. Some features I would like to see are............. Key Lock or PnT, Sync button or beat match button for internal users, right click options, and SUBCRATES!!!!!! In my opinion these features would advance SL to being a well rounded DJ software/hardware program. I'm also very impressed of the boot time of Serato, Click the icon and your "throwing down some hot buisness" in a matter of seconds. Kudos to all involved with the design of this product and also keeping patient with impatient customers. Don't let the cat out of the bag till you've tamed the lion!!!!!!!!!!

Agree with these two for sure. Even though it has been mentioned about 4,676,932 times, I would also like an integrated BPM counter, either one that calculates BPM upon importing and building overviews of songs, or on those songs that are difficult for computers to calculate for whatever reason, a tap option to figure it manually. When you go drop $150 on new tunes, it is a hassle to figure the BPM of all that music and put that info in the id3 tag, especially since the 909 (and its reasonably accurate internal BPM counter) is now in its box ready to be sold.

The P'n'T plug-in is also on my most wanted features list.

Also maybe have SSL make a list of the file directory of corrupt files so we can either fix/delete them.

Possibly upon pressing the build overview button it creates a folder called corrupt files and moves all files there.

(ok, here goes the standard introduction).... so i've searched the whole thread for "Metronome", but really haven't found what i'm looking for regarding 'feature suggestion', so here it goes.

provide a small "Metronome / tick-tock-click" button with volume level, l/r balance pan, channel assign (deck 1 or 2), and speed/tempo (bpm) adjust.

this is for those who wish to determine bpm via audio beat matching to a physical "Metronome / tick-tock-click" sound.

interesting idea... what if you could use 1 turntable to control the pitch of the metronome while you play the song on the other turntable? im guessing it would be easier to adjust the metronome tempo this way
DJ Nevoc 2:58 AM - 9 August, 2006
that would be kool cause as you increase the pitch the bpm display would increase and get you on beat.

Perhaps the metronome could be added into the display too so you can tell if the beats are off even a tiny bit.
DJ Nevoc 2:59 AM - 9 August, 2006
I bring up the display because PCDJ has this function and I never liked it on that program.

I don't know if anybody has brought up this issue but it's the one thing that bothers me about Scratch, I find it annoying that every band that starts with "The" in the beginning is not in alphabetical order as is in my iTunes library. I know it's a silly little thing but when you have 30-40 bands with "The" in the title, trying to find the band means lots of time scrolling!!. The word rec. system won't find "The Roots" if you type "Roots" while the same system in iTunes will dismiss the prefix!!. Please for the love of god change the programming!!!

DJ Nevoc 8:17 PM - 19 August, 2006
Maybe this could be geared more for version 3.0.0

We started using a software program call beatharness. It allows you to line-in audio and it detects the beat and does a video show based on BPM. It constantly updates and does all kinds of textures, logos, videos, pics, and layers of all those things at the same time. Also it will take any video live feed, such as your serato screen, or a club cam and incorporate that feed with textures, and effects. We are currently runnng two - four computers including my serato feed to accomplish this. The cool thing is that we get a VGA, RCA, S-Video, RGB on our main computer to send to any projector or TV or Flat screen. But its a very easy to use program and thought it would be kool to be able to attach say a flatscreen to the outside of your coffin and be able to drop live stuff in and make you from a DJ to a DJ-VJ...

You know how you can clear all tracks by going to review and clicking clear, can we add that if you drag a track to clear, like you do when your building overviews it clears that one track, like if your cueing a song, and then you decide not to play it.

er...yea i do mate...I use SSL on one laptop and Ableton on another. I only want a core audio driver for the box so i can switch to traktor if i want to....the ssl software is basic compared to others out there..but its ok, not great, just ok.
djxatl 3:18 AM - 1 September, 2006
features arent the only thing that makes one p[rogram better than another, serato is arguably the most stable and compatible program in its class, and all this talk about the software being "free" doesnt mean you cant factor it in its price. can you buy two computers and one copy of windows?

it's hardly basic mate a program realtime manipulation of digital sound source via timecoded controller? Thats never going to be simple.

It may not have effetcs etc... but it does the main thing it's designed for way way better than any other vinyl emulator out there, including CD's.

As for the SL1 being over priced, not when you consider how much it out perfomrs every single other vinyl emulator interface out there also.

You're payign for build quality and reliability, hence Rane's products are generally seen as the ebst out there.
SpinThis! 3:47 PM - 1 September, 2006
How is SSL overpriced? FinalScratch 2 is $599 at Turntable Lab (for example), versus $539 for SSL. The only thing I think SSL is really missing is key lock—which is coming soon in 1.7.

If you were a Final Scratch user during its early days, you had to pay for each incremental update whether it fixed bugs or added features. SSL does both and they've consistently done that. Ever since I've owned SSL (version 1.1), I've never paid for a software update. I call that a steal.

Not to mention what Monk mentioned above.... Rane is the best quality around. Go buy FS2 if you need more "features." I bet you'll be back in 2 months or less.

More cue points.

Example. Block A has cue 1-5 Block B 6-10 C 11-16
SpinThis! 8:20 PM - 1 September, 2006
You could use the loop slots as cuepoints. You get 9 slots. I find 5 (plus temp cue) is usually enough for me... if you need more than you should be doing your own offline remix imo.
DJ Nevoc 12:39 AM - 2 September, 2006
I would just like more cues, because I love remixing on the fly!!!!
DJPozzi 4:24 AM - 6 September, 2006

How about with the gain in each song having his mids and lows so u don't have to adjust any settings on a mixer except volume. That would be the shit!

Also with cue markers just markers for quicker needle dropping in abs mode. I like to keep my cueing speeds to par.

Also a sample function where u can play drops, airhorns, etc while ur mixing an insturmental to the song???????

DJPozzi 3:55 PM - 10 September, 2006
What about a new mode to add on to abs rel and int.
Call it "think" mode.

Basically when using this mode all i would do is look at the screen and serato would know what i wanted it to do without touching a key, cd player or tt!!! It would mix perfectly and whip the crowd into a knicker dripping frenzy!!

Maybe you could incorporate pitch lock when it becomes available too!!??

4) subcrates
PhedUSHA 12:59 AM - 12 September, 2006
I can't stress enough how essential it is to have video mixing. Mixing a DVD, MPEG, etc.. is almost a must in this day and age. The DVDJ can doit, and it only seems logical that Serato should be able to as well. Time Code should be able to make this happen.

STELTH MODE, check my entry
montana 5:10 PM - 13 September, 2006
Quote:
as a professional dj for over 17 years. i've moved to serato and have been testing the beta 1.5. here are a few suggestions for improvements from my years of experience.

1. a scroll down and up arrow on the right hand side of your library is needed. many djs don't have the hands free time to be scrolling the page down and page up key and its designed to make navigating possibilities easier.

2. this is THE MOST IMPORTANT...when switching in between crates the screen must return to the last highlighted track. when the dj has to scroll down to that track again it takes WAY too much time for the club atmosphere (this has been my biggest complaint from fellow djs). in comparison it would be like popping your dual copy vinyl record up in the crate, taking out one record to play, popping it back down and then trying to locate it again while playing. or getting a cd from your case, closing and trying to re-locate.

3. a shortcut to switch between hiding display of the track playing with independent cotrol of each side for this function. let me clarify. each dj booth is set up differently and people may or may not be able to look at the beautiful Serato display (in fact people are more drawn towards watching what you're doing when they see the laptop), however if you load the next track they see what's coming on next which takes away from the power of the dj knowing and no one else should. it also leads to a lot of crap from couch quarterback djs telling you to select something else :-)

4. the first option in the prepare window should be set up so the order you're loading the tracks in is how the window reads and not by song name or bpm. the dj should be able to instantly move the tracks to whatever order he wants to prepare them to play**. i'm not quite sure if you can already do this. if you can. someone please get me up to par on this.

5. finally an instant set folder should be created or option to begin an instant set folder should be available with time stamp of when the song played. once again i'll clarify. while playing the dj doesn't have time to hit the review, create a folder and look at songs last played or even to quickly scroll through this list in the prepare window, in addition if another dj gets on the wheels he should be able to quickly look at this folder and see this information so that tracks are not repeated.
on point 1 it's the up-down arrows that appear in the far right hand corner of a windows or mac when you have a long list. on Serato you have the bar but not these arrows as an option for scrolling.

on point 5 i'll try and be clearer by describing a hypothetical situation. ok so you've been dj-ing for over two hours and you want to look at what you've played THAT night but you have so many mp3s and you've forgotten to or chose not to clear the green highlighted tracks from your gig the previous night. if you hit the review it will show all these green tracks. i feel that if there was a simpler optional folder "HISTORY" that's located on the left hand side of the Serato display you or another dj giving you a break could quickly jump into this folder and look at the history of songs played those last few hours or days. another example is if you're dj-ing and you're thinking ahead to a few tracks you're planning to play so you place them in prepare. another song pops into your head that you know you've played but you want to know exactly when that was without losing the songs set up in your prepare window when you hit review. basically a history folder similar to windows explorer or mac safari is what i'm talking about that's automatically available with a preference feature that allows you to set a range to look at a few days to a weeks worth of what you've played in these sub folders.

nr3 is exactly what i want, check my stealth mode at Feature Suggestions

1. I would like to see the auto feature fade songs together. If you click “auto” on your left and right deck, it would automatically select a song from your crate, or prepared list. As one song ends, the other deck would atomaticly start playing. option to adjust the fade 1-10 seconds.

2. Stickers for our keypads, color coordinated stickers that we could place on our keypads. I bought colored stickers from Office Max to put on my keypad, but shaped ones to symbolize play,pitch,cue points,loop ect. would be allot better, even blacklight stickers would be cool.

True, but you have to remember iTunes music is DRM protected. It will only play in iTunes and nothing but iTunes (and iPods). But non DRM AAC support would be nice.
DJ_Mike_Coquilla 4:07 PM - 25 September, 2006
i'm sure it has already been mentioned here on this thread (and else where in this forum.... gotta find tha link)

(not my orig idea, just wanna push/bump tha suggestion/recommedation) anyways, we'd like to see Serato to be able to provide a lil skeleton mode where we can set loop markers and cue points WITHOUT the SL1 connected (like at work, at the hotel, or on tha plane)
ekwipt 12:56 PM - 26 September, 2006

I use cue points in ABS mode. If I need to get to a certain part of the record, I just needle drop but I use my ears in conjunction with the markers as a replacement for being able to see the change in the grooves of the record (you know... where you can visually usually see the "break" on normal vinyl). I switch between REL and ABS mode all the time, so it depends on what I'm trying to do that determines which mode I'd use.

On a side note... I wonder if Sam and the crew have all the top 3 features they need for testing? I'm kinda sick of seeing the same things posted over and over in this thread.

djaleksei 8:50 PM - 27 September, 2006
my top 3 features are:
1. Sub Crates
I have a very large number of crates, i like to really sort my music into different genres, ideas, sets, albums, gig history, where i bought or got the music from, when i got them, etc.... i know i can do this via mp3 tags, but its not really a workaround since it is too cumbersome, and the subcrate way is simply better.

2.Serato remembers play order from different volumes.
I split my music up between the laptop hard drive and my external hard drive, whenever i save a set, it doesn't remember the order because the music is from multiple hard drives, this really sucks.

3.Effects & Midi control
I've been seriously considering converting to traktor 3 recently, simply because their effects and allen & heath filters are superb. not every club has an allen & heath and when you get used to using the filters its hard to use a mixer without them, eq is fine, but the filters are a different ball game. would be nice to have all this in built into serato so no matter where you play you still have all the toys (which would be controllable via midi).

the only thing that's holding me back from going over to traktor 3 is the stabillity issue, but apart from that the software is superior in almost every way, apart from a few inovative things in serato.

do have to say thought that (touch wood) serato is stable as a rock and i put my career on it! so that's why i still use it.

The most important feature is missing... vinyl emulation which sounds like real vinyl. Maybe its just my setup, but it doesnt sound good, esp. if you scratch on it. Or if you release the record then it takes some seconds til the sound catches up without any crackles. Konix might know how to use djdecks properly.

Thanks.
phil 8:44 AM - 1 October, 2006
No al4, SSL still stores information like cue-points in the mp3 itself, therefore it still modifies the mp3, unless you make that file read-only. Which is as i said no real solution.

You can test this even without the Box. Just build a overview of a file, close SSL und you will see the size of that mp3 has changed, because it now contains the overview-data.
Soba 11:19 AM - 1 October, 2006
I fail to see why this is a problem, so long as the quality of the file is not compromised
nik39 11:29 AM - 1 October, 2006
Soba, for example, there was a bug in Final Scratch which simply trashed .wav (or another file format) files. So sometimes you dont want the files to be altered. Plus you cant use read-only device, lice CDs. However, I keep backup of my original audio files, which is recommended anyway, so this is one the feature I have requestes as one of the first, but I dont need it anymore.
ekwipt 2:58 PM - 2 October, 2006
Where in the mp3 does ssl store this info in the TAG STRIPE's? I was reading somehere that if i analyse the mp3 again in something like Rapid Evolution it will lose my cue and loop markers is this correct??

PhoenixUK 3:54 PM - 3 October, 2006
How about ....

In absolute mode, for cd-dj's ....

If you could set a cue point in serato, and if you pause or stop the track on the cd player, serato automatically jumps back to the cue point.

This would eliminate the delay, when cueing with cd's, and also the fraction of the tune that you hear when you start the track again from the cd player.

And if you didn't want to do this, then you just wouldn't use serato to set the cue point, so everyone's happy !!

Surely, provided the cue point on serato, is at the same point as the cue point on the cd player, this would work a treat ?!!

Fingers crossed !!!

gucca69/skinnyguy: yes I agree, they should take a look at the new features Torq added and implement them relatively fast, but we probably don't have to say that, the Serato team have probably taken note already.

I bet the Torq developers took the time to read this Feature Suggestions forum since the beginning, just so they could add all the extra features djs have been asking for... i guesss it's no coincidence Torq already does almost everything everyone here wants as new features for SSL...

diego yeah you are probably right i would like the guys at serato just to come out and tell us where they stand are they going to implement any of the features we want that already are on torq?
or are they going to stay safe and reliable which we want, but we also want to move with the times hope the dont get left behind because i love scratchlive, but if there is something better out there that works great and reliable then you gotta look.
i would appreciate serato to put out a statement on the forum to cool things down and put peoples mind at ease, or just tell us thats not the way they see their product going!
peace.
phil 10:10 AM - 11 October, 2006
Gucca please...

I guess more than 95% of the people here that use SSL are pretty cool about the fact, that another company jumped into the vinylemulation-business. Djs using SSL are happy what it can do...

Emulate Vinyl, pretty damn good.

The only thing we know about Torq is that it has many features SSL will have in the future. Nobody knows how stable and reliable Torq is, and i don't think it is ready to battle SSL very soon.

So far i've read 2 opinions of people who tested Torq (not very long). One guy says it has nice features, and seems to be stable. The other one says, he returned it, because it crashed more than 1 time. Great.

Compare that to the number of SSL Djs that are happy and HAVE the proof it works without problems.
gucca69 2:13 PM - 11 October, 2006
i know about the reviews thats why im not going to buy it its not proven to me yet about reliability im not going to buy untill it does scratchlive had a few bugs at the start to.
but as for features serato has never said they were going to add some of the features?
i just hope its good for us more competition more advancement of the 2 products.
Twelvizm 2:50 PM - 11 October, 2006
My suggestion:

Purchase a technology licence from MixMeister and use the BPM Analyser script in with the "build overviews" function of SSL. But you'll have to get them to budge on programming for Mac.

That's not going to happen because it would be suicide—it would be like giving the other team your playbook.

Let other companies keep guessing what you're going to do next. Go try out Torq yourself if you really need its features. The only thing I really need now is key control but that's coming soon in 1.7. But I predict you'll come back to Serato for service, the free updates, and ultimately the simplicity and genuine feel of the system. Sames goes for Stanton and Final Scratch.

You know how you can have up to 5 loops, any chance to get that left right arrow above where the cue points so we can have more than 5 cue points per track?
Mini Cederholm 10:27 AM - 5 November, 2006
Im a new user of Serato and the clubs I work in have almost everyone CD playersso one of the biggest problems I have is that when I cue a record and go back to the cue point the waveform doesent go back to the cue point and start from that point.
Have found out that you have to cue-search-cue to start from the cue point, of course all in asolute mode. Please please ...fix
Freedom 1:55 PM - 5 November, 2006
TOP 3

1) Keylock/ down the line pitch n time
2)MIDI
3)Gain compressor/ Loudness compressor like the L2 maximizer from waves plugins. b/c it works on the final gsin stage you could seriously crank levels up without clipping auto matically.

then video support whenever it comes around...

A hot Key for looping would Make my day. I set a Cue point at the beginning of most of my loops. So it would be great to have a hot key to enable the loop, rather that the mouse.

Before someone posts Hotkey for looping + 4 I'll point out that a keyboard shortcut actually does exist already!

left deck: [ (left bracket)
right deck: ' (apostrophe)

If you want to jump to and enable the loop at the same time, a la CDJ, add the control key to the mix (or command if you have a Mac). These shortcuts assume you have the shift key pressed or caps lock on.

Source: 1.6.2 Manual [ www.rane.com ]
Dj KaGeN 4:15 PM - 10 November, 2006
Correct me if I'm wrong.... I know those keys - but I seem to not be able to load a deck [Shift Arrow] and enable the loop before the loop have gone by. When you reload the deck - it unchecks the loop feature.. tad frustrating.

So perhaps enabling the hotkey should put you to the first loop and start it.
scotty B 6:19 PM - 10 November, 2006
So is this only with CDJ's? Not with TT?
SpinThis! 7:05 PM - 10 November, 2006
No you can use turntables... in my post above, a la means "in the style of"... if you're familiar with how a CDJ works, hitting the reloop button is the same as jumping to and enabling the loop which you can do using the shortcuts above. Apologies for the confusion.

Kagen—how long is your loop? You should be able to hit shift-arrow then the left bracket key or apostrophe to turn the loop on before it exists. And why would you want to reload the same track? The only reason I can think of is to start from the beginning again if you have that preference set... A more effective way of doing is to use the temp cue to jump back to the beginning of the track (which is set to the beginning unless you change it midtrack).
Dj KaGeN 11:29 PM - 10 November, 2006
There are quite a few 80's tracks that I met this issue with, the very first moments of the track are where the loop resides. I have taken on the Shift-Arrow as common practice to reset tracks to the beginning. Then I have to hit the keyboard or the hotkey to enable the loop - I'm clearly past the LOOP now.... How do I get back to th ebeginning and set a loop in a timely fashion? I have to manually backcue the track to initiate the loop, so upon letting go it remains in the loop. Am I doing something wrong?
Dj KaGeN 11:32 PM - 10 November, 2006
Your suggestion would make this a matter of typing on the key board.. shift arrow <> cue point 1 <> init loop [ -- notice the spacing on the keyboard and see how cumbersome that sequence is bottom right - top left - top right. Dangerous buttons all around to hit in a dark club.
seems unfortunate that this is how it has to be.

If I understand correctly what you are trying to achieve, Yes, this is wrong. You have to hold down the ctrl-key and then press

left deck: [ (left bracket)
right deck: ' (apostrophe)

This will enable the loop *and* immediately jump to the beginning of the loop

Here's one. Abs/rel/int mode indicators with background colors? For example, make "absoulte" = green, "relative" = yellow, "internal" = red. This will help when using the cds making it visually easier to notice when SSL switches to internal because the disc has run out of time. One extra step make the yellow/relative mode blink or flash when there's less than a minute of time code.

Also, adding a db quick adjustment for gains on tracks not recorded with high input quality. I've tried to adjust in iTunes but it's more pain than bumping my channel gain and freq adjustments, the problem is to return them to nuetral before I mix in the same song on the opposite deck.

What say you SSL?

Just to recap on my wish list...


1. CTRL-Click to select more than one file attribute when
browsing (more than one BPM to create a BPM range or a BPM,
Genre or some other thing to create browse results)

2. CuePoint only mode. a crippled, featureless play mode without
hardware (No pitch, headphone jack output only, using
internal mode buttons) so that I can audition tracks and do
cue points on the plane.

3. Use more of the iTunes xml data (play count, last played,
date imported, rating) Not sure if iTunes made this Read only
data or if u can play with it.

4. Make BPMs part of the Overview process

5. Make use of the iTunes compatibility but still have crates
saved as folders with shortcuts in them or something. And
make Serato dump the PartyShuffle and all the other lists
that we dont use.

1. Option to have SERATO not turn songs green until you change the OTHER deck while playing it. I think this is the only way for SERATO to know if you really played the track.

2. Ability to omit or specify which iTunes playlists show up (I would be happy with a .txt or .ini file with an 'include' or 'exclude' list of names separated by commas, then serato would just check vs. this list when parsing the xml of the iTunes library)

3. M4U compatibility (not iTunes, but like what you get from Beatport)

For the past almost 9 monthes i have had SSL i have never had it crash, never had a problem, never encountered a bug. So in short i could be no happier with SSL. But.... and there's always a But. I would love SSL even more if they could make SSL respond more like a real analog record. Now i understand we are taking a digital file and sending it digitally through a control box to output an analog signal to my mixer. But lets just look at this. When your playing a regular record on a turntable if you ride the platter or tweak the spindle the % the turntable slows down in my opinion from what my ears tell me is a much lower % than the noticable sound difference when using SSL and the control records. Infact you can watch the amount of BPMS a light touch in SSL can generate up to a 4 BMP change in pitch and then it has to compensate by coming back very fast. If you were to tweak a regular record the same amount i can guaruntee you the regular record would change less and be less noticable. So now i ask you what can be done about this? This is my one and only complaint about SSL. Can it ever be made to respond like "REAL" vinyl or will it always be lost in translation due to the digitalness of it's core function? And to be sure i have tried things like turning drift compensation on/off and have good clean needles and control records and well as a solid signal path. I would say anyone who has DJ'd for atleast a few years i would hope can hear and notice this difference. Please help.

If you are using CV02's then you want to have Drift Compensation OFF. Try to bring your buffer to as low as you can and maybe bring your audio cache to 30 or less and see if that helps.

I would play with the threshold as well. Threshold essentially means how "sensitive" SSL is at responding to small changes—such as scratching as well as what you describe—but at the expensive of picking up more outside noise.
DJ Nevoc 2:40 AM - 3 December, 2006
Not sure if this has already been addressed, but I noticed when I was doing some tracks that with CDJs your pitch is like 0.25% your ssl reads either .2 or .3% just wondering if it is really running at .25% or is it running at .2 or .3%

YES! Agreed 100% - it's very annoying if you're trying a couple of tunes and you find they're all added to the log. One of the other programs I've used in the past used to log after 20 seconds or so of continuous play, but this suggestion seems like a MUCH better way of implementing it.

Also, I'm still desparate for lossless audio files. Preferably FLAC, as FLAC is a completely free and open standard.

ok sorry nevoc!
but i think the majority of guys in here do use itunes do that first and then do the rest lol....
i really wanted this from day 1 its something simple but it would really make a difference when you are looking through hundreds of old tracks and you cant really remember some of them if they were rated it would make my xmas thanks......

i know there's already a sperate thread about the possibility of this feature (www.scratchlive.net) but just to let you know that i'd gladly kill a man if serato could be used in conjunction with standard turntables down the musical instrument route a la Vestax Controller 1.

i think this could be so important - helping open up new avenues for music as a whole - don't get me wrong i love mixing/dj's etc. and obviously this is what ssl was originally made for, but i feel really strongly about the possibilities that serato could offer musicians.

Not to mention the lowered CPU stress it would mean, which in turn might make it possible to lower the latency on low end machines.

DJ BIS 6:42 PM - 30 December, 2006
Does the Serato mixer do the processing for the FX or is Serato doing all the work already?

I say no to FX if they have to be processed by Serato, it would be a waste of resources since there are so many outboard/mixer FX options...
dj friktion 8:23 PM - 30 December, 2006
I would like his mids and lows for each track set it once and only play with the gain! To help even out your files on the whole

That would be money!

Master Tempo too but don't bring it out til u can scratch with no funny sound (we can wait)

And A Built In Sampler for airhorns drops etc

With like 20 stored and u can use 8 live so can swap sound efx great for radio djs too I'd tag it up

Hmmmm good 4 now more to come

Master Tempo IS OUT, and IT IS money! The garbling heard is minor (its no CDJ-1000 algorythm) but it does the job and very well for those that have been asking for it. If you are a turntablist I can see how it may not suit their needs OR liking, but a great majority of the public will welcome the feature as it is I am sure.

That's not the point. Their DSP changes/advances have affected the timing of the effects on their DJM-800 and the sound on their MK3 CD player. There is nothing cool about that, and no matter what I run through it, MP3's or normal vinyl, its not doing what we want it to do.

I also wanted to add to the list that I would like for the browse windows to behave like iTunes:

If I select different genres/albums/etc I would like for the browse windows to adjust and changes based on my choices. In my experience when I do go browse for something they stay the same and you have to scroll and scroll and scroll.

This would be a welcome change for me.

djgeorge 11:04 PM - 31 January, 2007
Oh, I don't know how I could forget this one. I take back my other 3 in favor of this one implimentation.
Playback of AAC files. iTunes is the #1 music download source in the world. It is a pain in the neck to have to convert the song from AAC to MP3. You need to burn to CD then re-import. So let's say I only bought one or 2 songs today for a gig tonight, I have to burn a CD for 2 songs. It's a waste of time and money.
Now I know what the Serato team is gonna say..."It's up to Apple to licence to us." I can only hope someone is working hard to negotiate that deal.
Konix 11:08 PM - 31 January, 2007
iTunes files are DRM protected, so even if SSL did support AAC files, it sill wouldn't be able to play iTunes store bought tracks. I doubt Steve Jobs over at Apple is going to license it anytime soon, unless you got a couple million dollars.

SpinThis! 4:07 PM - 22 February, 2007
This forum is primarily used by folks having problems with the software. I'm sure you can agree Serato has been improving its base steadily, which means the number of people actually having problems increases—and that increases the number of forum users. This can artificially inflate the number of perceived problems. Sorry Menace... I gotta agree with nik here... this has been kicked since the forum's inception. "I'm not going to use xxxx version of SSL because it has too many problems."

I have been using SSL since 1.1 or 1.2 (I don't remember which) and 1.7 is just as usable and stable as anything else previous.
Serato, Support
Matt G 9:26 PM - 22 February, 2007
This thread has gone a wee bit off topic.

As to whether 1.7 is any more buggy than previous releases, that's not the impression I'm getting here. The first releases of new versions sometimes have problems that don't show up until lots of people are using it, which is why we work hard to get point-one versions out quickly after. 1.7.1 is out already and it's pretty solid. 1.7.2 is in the works and it'll be even more solid.

If anyone's still having problems with 1.7.1 then let us know in the help area (www.scratchlive.net).

Now, how about those features people want in 1.8, 1.9, etc? That's what this thread is about :)
DJ Nevoc 4:31 AM - 23 February, 2007
^^^ Not to beat a dead horse, but as many users complain about final versions not working for them, but where was their input when we were in the beta test phase.

Not everyone wants to, or is able to, beta test. People don't -have- to beta test and as they've bought the product, they're more than entitled to ask questions when final versions are buggy and/or not working for them.

In saying that ... roll on 1.7.2 beta.

I PAID FOR SERATO TO WORK! If i wanted to develope software I would, I just want to spin like everyone else hear. Thank you Serato for at least not charging for updates.
galacticbass 7:22 AM - 23 February, 2007
By the way this thread IS about improvements for 1.8, and that's what I'm asking for is a more stable version. It sounds that compatibilty with Mac seems to be more the issue. To bad since Mac builds one of the best computers on the planet.

I'm not tring to stir up trouble but I work in pro audio at a company that is a Serato dealer, and also sell many other types of dj software. What am I to say about Serato if I'm having so many issues. (USB problems)
ekwipt 9:53 AM - 23 February, 2007

sojourn 11:20 AM - 23 February, 2007
Re: Stability (Off Topic - back on soon)
I use an Intel Macbook Pro, and unfortunately I have no errors to report in 1.7.1 thus far ("unfortunately" because I consider it part of the "duty" of free update availability - even post-beta - to track-down & find problems to further the stability of the next ver.). Usage: daily basis (maybe one or two days away from SSL, or vinyl-only-days), still nothing so far. Qualifier(s): all versions since 1.5 - all exactly same stability; no differences (one weird issue w/1.6.? with a cue issue ...literally one time so very likely a fluke). (Note: never a beta-test or beta-tester thus far.)


Re: Desired Features (On Topic)

1) Pitch n' Time plugin (hopefully complete with a-c)
...a) Dual-channel real-time pitch (key) shift; Dual-channel real-time tempo-stretch
...b) Key monitor/reporting
...c) As many other features of PnT Pro/LE as are possible/plausible in a live application while avoiding CPU-drain

2) Effects - Echo Flanger Delay Reverb Etc. (yeah yeah, SEEMS trivial, but would love to replace current effects processors with a Rane-Quality product all in one box >> my laptop; also SEEMS very possible - if PnT could be a paid plugin, SEEMS effects could be a plugin I'd be willing to pay for as well; would also just love to see what it does to the rest of the industry if it happened - spooky what all this could turn into)

3) "Stay-Lit" switch/feature to keep OS from utilizing screen-saver/sleep-mode/power-saver-mode only while SSL is running (switchable on/off in "Settings" area)


...hard to come up with more - my paid-for copy and subsequent updates seem to work; and, as the forum area suggests, these are just suggestions. (Will post problems in the help area - still doing my best to find one.)
skinnyguy 7:01 PM - 23 February, 2007

1. AUTO REVERSE/CENSOR.

Add ANY marker to the track. Highlight like a loop. and it stays there. Once you've set it up you can have the option to turn it on or off. For high school dances b-day parties, weddings etc. This would be an easy featyure as it would only take a few more buttons.

It could even be a good edition for...

2. SETUP TRACK MODE

Is there plans to expand the BPM category to include one decimal place, e.g. Jay-Z "30 Something" BPM = 91.6.

Would help DJ's with a large library of mp3's achieve a higher level of organization...not so much for mixing/beat matching.

Sorry if this has already been discussed...

preview/play tracks without having to connect to the interface box...
i have mentioned this elsewhere before-as ive just bought a ext hard drive and its time to reorganise the music in my itunes its become much more aparant how brilliant this would be-
having to now reintroduce ssl to the media on the ext or to where i move it back to my pb hard drive is gonna take awhile

i want to be able to use ssl as my default music player, to be able to set cue points on my coffee brake when im not at home with my mixer and ssl box..


this would be soo good-hope to see it in future versions

as for 1.7.1- its workin really good and i love the bpm goblinrey

The CUE point of the CD player can be use in SERATO like a CD in "absolu" mode but not mémorise in this mode.

if you memorise one CUE point in SERATO (in "relative" mode), you can't use the CUE of the CD player to play from the CUE point start of the SERATO CUE point witch is mémorise in SERATO....because you are in "relative" mode and in this mode, the CUE point of the player make you go from the begining of the song.

I could do away with the auto mixing, but I would like to be able to crossover songs for a few seconds. Like what iTunes does, I think you can set iTunes to crossover for up to 12 seconds. This feature works great at a wedding when your playing slow jams..
DJ D-Major 5:27 PM - 1 June, 2007
I would love to see a "skip" function. Much like the loop function, but acting in the opposite way. For example:

Let's say I want to play the first and third verse of a song, but not the second verse. With the current setup now... when the first verse ends I manually drop the same song at the top of the third verse. With a "skip section" function, I could set the "skip - in" and "skip - out" times once. Next time I played this song the "skip section" would be remembered (much like a loop) and the part of the song that I didn't want to play would be skipped automatically.

I would also like to see an option to remember loop on/off setting. So, from gig to gig, if I always use a particular loop it would already be active when I load the track. The same function would be obviously usefull for the "skip section" too.
cappinkirk 5:55 PM - 1 June, 2007
instead you could set up a cue point at the place after you want to skip, that's what I do in that case. Then you just don't push it if you don't want to skip ahead.

skip out isn't logical since we have cue points we can set (if you have enough rhythm to push the button on beat that is)
skinnyguy 7:25 PM - 1 June, 2007
but the "skip" function would have things done automatically, unless you turn it off, like looping.

which reminds me of...

censor markers.

please add censor markers to the list.

The simplest and most clear example would be simply typing a search term on the SSL search field, such as "Hip-Hop". When I type that all songs that have hip-hop come up, but my 3 search/browse columns do not reflect the genres, Artists, and albums that were part of that search. So pretty much having them there becomes useless.

In iTunes you do the same and the browse section adjusts and shows you all of the genres that have "hip-hop" in them. For example, if you put a comment for a Dance remix of a hip-hop song, I would put "hip-hop" on the comment of that house song or whatever, this allows for that browse section to be useful.

Like if I have a party mainly with Old School heads I am going to end up searching for my [OLS] tag which I put at the end of each genre that is "Ol' school", ya know. Well, the genres browse column does not adjust and this makes it pretty much pointless.

Examples much more specific could be described, but I don't want to go into unless you need me to.

Hopefully you understand what I mean with this post.

Thanks.

These suggestions are for CD DJ in Relative Mode:

A. Disable skip free so we could use the CUE button to reset the track. With this ability we could cue any point to start the track or better work with loops reducing the use of the keyboard

B. Auto assign loops created in the CD player. If I create a loop in my CD player the system should know the time code is repeating and allow me to assign a number to it.

C. How about to edit out some time code out. I have some songs that have bad words I would like to remove. I know we have the censor button but how about a feature that I could simply take out or jump a range of time code.
Spelunk 8:21 AM - 8 July, 2007
1) Better sound quality for record manipulation. Serato sounds fine for the most part when just playing records, but any kind of scratching sounds like garbled nonsense to my ears. If you don't hear this I question your ears.

2) More effects for the 57. The hold echo is great, and filters are nice, but

3) The ability to record channels 1 and 2 at the same time, both post-fader. This would be a godsend.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: No BS features. ScratchLive is not some tool to make wedding DJs lives easier - it is a professional DJ tool and should be treated as such, and its features geared towards DJs as artists. Many professional DJs have noted the sound quality issues within ScratchLive, even when using WAV files, and this must be fixed. This means no automixing or video until sound quality, effects, and stability are absolutley rock solid.

MIDI!!!!!

But here is the catch:

Let the TTM57 controls send midi messages, ESPECIALLY THE FOOT SWITCH! That would mean I could use my 57 and ableton as the Ultimates DJ's dream looping station, all in one box. (When not in SSL obviously)

This would be far superior to the any Loop station mode SSL could implement, and there would be lots of other possibilities too!

That's good, excet for the fact that too many of the similar colors are too hard to differentiate from each other because they're too similar looking.
Dj Blaze 2:13 AM - 14 July, 2007
^That’s the whole point the like colors would make better harmonic mixes. I think once the song is selected and the color is showing on the decks it would be easier to distinguish the colors. But I agree that the small colored dots are hard to see in the library that’s why they need to make the whole line color changeable. It’s especially hard for me at times because I’m slightly color blind and I have never done well on the number dot test. It’s just an idea, I mean add 3 more colors and it’s done.
Dj Blaze 2:21 AM - 14 July, 2007
Another idea I was thinking about was when the pitch is increased on the decks... SSL would then multiply it by 2-3 or 4 etc. This could help by giving a broader pitch range, making past models of Technics more versatile. I have the M5Gs and 16% is great, but as the key lock improves I'll start to wish more and more that I could go further with the pitch.
ekwipt 3:34 AM - 14 July, 2007
I'd like either a seperate key tag column or a way to sort the comments column by the chamelot sound easymix system. I was playing around with it the other night and though it would be a good addition to the keylock etc. in Serato
DJ BIS 9:51 AM - 14 July, 2007
It boils down to one thing, give users the option to create custom tags! or at least to display them!

There is too many colors already, and they DO get confusing. There is about 6-8 usable colors in there, the rest all looks the same if you don't have them side to side.

But with a column called "Key" we would be all good. We would be able to use colors for other things and "Key" as a separate, sortable column that would solve a lot of people's problems.
ekwipt 2:08 AM - 15 July, 2007
word
Dj Blaze 5:55 PM - 15 July, 2007
BIS, The way I have been doing my key writing is allowing Mixed-In-Key to write to my comments section like this example: (Key – bpm) / (7A - 130.56) so this way when I organize my comments all keys are organized and the bpms are in descending order.

Since there are only 21 colors I used 12 instead, one color for each key (number) example: 7A & 7B would be the same color, if there were 24 color options 7A would get a color and 7B would get a slightly different color.

After I tagged my 12 (numbered) keys w/ 12 colors ~ this did allow me to see a difference. If you organize your library by bpms looking at the colored dots will not be in order and variations in color can be distinguished. Maybe 24 colors would be too much, but I think it might still work, maybe not to distinguish colors, but at least when a song is selected the color of the circle will be the color associated with that key code.

This topic isn’t really a big deal, it’s just to point out that colors coding can save time reading various information. Harmonic mixing can be as simple as mixing like colors.

I guess what I would like to see is an improvment with color tagging by maybe add 3 more colors, making the colors more distinguishable or adding an option that allows song title lines to be color changeable since the dots are hard to see at times.

ekwipt, If we added a key column we would also have to add a way to lock that column as well, so if we were to organize keys the key column could be locked so when we sort bpms the keys would not go out of order, but I think it’s just easier to write the keys to the comments section so when the keys are sorted so are the bpms.

Thanks Blaze.... I'm guessing what we would all prefer would be sort by A column then sort by B? It would be great for say: sort by label then by artist, sort by key then by bpm, etc, etc
DJ BIS 4:42 AM - 16 July, 2007
I don't see a problem with adding more colors, if that's what helps you, but I think that having the KEY column is... well, key to people who are going to be doing harmonic mixing. Being able to designate other custom columns/tags would also be great.

cappinkirk 8:52 PM - 16 July, 2007
dj's must think very little of their skills if all they do is beatmatch, it's like babysitting. you could be using that time to rock the mic, pick a better song, etc.
cappinkirk 8:58 PM - 16 July, 2007
what are the intelligent reasons not to have auto beatmatching?
cappinkirk 8:58 PM - 16 July, 2007
*crickets chirping*
DJ BIS 9:07 PM - 16 July, 2007
The fact that it takes development time away from other features that are by far more important. Serato is already an amazing tool for amateurs who are learning to mix. Fading one track into another for early in a wedding is one thing, maybe be able to adjust the fade in and fade out times, etc, but full-on mixing...?

That's what those *other* programs are made for.
cappinkirk 9:23 PM - 16 July, 2007
DJ BIS no offense but cmon now there is no intelligent reason against auto bpm in there.

you don't know how much time has gone into auto-bpm already or how long it may take to develop (thats an important part of your argument, programming time).

beatmatching doesn't even take any skill once you learn how to do it! There is no creativity involved in beatmatching at all. it is the one primary thing that computer automation can help DJ's with more than anything else.
cappinkirk 9:24 PM - 16 July, 2007
anyway thats my 2 cents no need to repeat myself further.
AKIEM 10:18 PM - 16 July, 2007
there is creativity, that point aside.

development time is a precious commodity

spending it on a feature that has so many other fine solutions does not make sense to me

honestly would any client even be able to tell the difference from itunes running with a good smooth fade playlist for example? I doubt it, especially with the mellow food time music

why does it need to BPM blend while everyone is eating or whatever, no one is dancing right?


Also I think it would send the software off into a direction that it was never meant to. It is a vinyl system emulator, a tool for DJs (maybe even SCRATCH DJs in particular). I think sending it off toward being a DJ emulator is the wrong direction.

I don't think that any of those progams do full blown auto mixing (It wouldn't be easy).

If I needed to beatmix, I would do it myself. I do believe that fading one track into another without matching beats is essential for dinner and cocktail hour (during most functions).
cappinkirk 5:54 PM - 17 July, 2007
to auto mix one song would have to be the master tempo and the other the slave tempo. there could be some bpm snapping and quantization involved.

once you pick where a song is dropped all you can do is make it worse by playing with it (dragging, pushing & pulling, as in when the pitch is not perfectly set) a computer would make it super locked down. no creativity is involved in beatmatching because it can be either done right or done wrong.

its a waste of time to focus on something like that, like mental labor in my opinion.
cappinkirk 6:04 PM - 17 July, 2007
...but it would be a pain to deal with unless it had a playlist, etc. i was just thinking creatively.

& also you are right it isn't a robodj and i don't really want it to be one either.

I think that at this stage there are other things that are more important when it comes to updates. But, I think it would be a good addition later on down the road ~ more for home use i guess or doinng a BBQ or somethin'.
Also, when i'm doing a job i very seldom leave the decks, i'm mean im getting paid to do a job and the last thing they want to see is an easy way out. Besides, I dont think theres a minute that goes by where I stop to let the computer do all the work... wheres the fun in that?
Kenny Q 1:15 PM - 18 July, 2007
There is no use in discussing not having "Auto Play" do the "Auto Fade". It is to my understanding that Serato will have it in the very near future.

I have no interest in auto beatmixing, I will always prefer to do it myself. However, some sort of auto fade or gapless playback is needed. I do the occasional event that requires some sort of background music.

And to all the pretentious folks who constantly feel the need to slam those who brought this up, GROW UP! First of all, I assume everyone who is constantly opposing auto anything probably never works in more than one environment, always doing the same style mixing in the same style club. Well, guess what, some of us actually perform in a variety of talents. Second, I am sure there are some amateur DJs on this site posing as professionals who would like software that will do their job so they can fool club owners into stealing our jobs, but I don't think this is what they want. Those of us asking for an auto fade within internal mode aren't without reason. Sometimes I need music to be playing before a large concert, sometimes I'll provide music for a happy hour, sometimes I'm doing a private event that involves a cocktail hour or a dinner, and sometimes I just want to here some tunes when I have company at home. I hate having to set up another program to run a playlist when SSL is aready hooked up anyway. If you enjoy doing your thing in the same style club week after week, keep at it; But stop trying to impress us with your purist greatness and realize that you're not the only person Rane/Serato are going to listen to.

awesome work, but same here... the rows expand and so you end up looking at 6 songs instead of 30. Not good IMO. But its ok if they allow users who don't need the album art the option to remove the covers...

Good work either way.

Soulsonica™ 4:15 PM - 18 July, 2007
Of course you should be able to turn on/off the artwork thumbnail feature, so guys who select via text only can do so - but this is for cats who select their tracks graphically (just like vinyl crates). When you spin vinyl, you are only seeing a few covers at a time whilst flipping through your crate, so any more would be a huge improvement over that. Either way you cut it, the scroll bar is your friend and solves everything by simply pressing up/down to fly through your cover art and select tracks VISUALLY based on cover art. I can't tell you how many tracks I know what sound like based solely on the artwork but have no idea who/what/where/when/why it was made. This would just put RSSL over the top and make for utopian track selection.

There's ALWAYS ways to add artwork. If you don't want artwork though, just leave it blank. The artwork thumbnail feature isn't meant to replace all the text info, just add to it and provide the much needed aspect of being able to select tracks VISUALLY. Think less pecking away at a keyboard/starring into a screen and MORE time grabbing tracks and creating killer sets like you used to when things were all on vinyl baby!
SonicSoundsE 7:40 PM - 18 July, 2007
One thing that I would love to see on Serato is a better Auto play mode. Perhaps having the system fade in and out of songs automatically instead of having the spaces of silence in between each song and also being able to set up playlists that would save from session to session.

1- Save Playlist as Text Functonality
2- Artwork for Loaded Tracks
3 - Time Pitch Stretching
Soulsonica™ 8:12 PM - 18 July, 2007
Hey guys, I just want to make sure that everyone understands and is on the same page when requesting this feature in that "ARTWORK FOR LOADED TRACKS" is only HALF of the graphical approach to selecting tracks by artwork. Having the artwork visible for loaded tracks only doesn't do a whole lot of good if you don't ALSO somehow have the artwork thumbnails next to each track WHILE BROWSING through crates. That's how you get the whole artwork=track association going in your brain (just like selecting tracks by flying through real vinyl in real crates). Dig? ;-)

DJ_Hotpoint 3:13 AM - 19 July, 2007
1. Edit files (ie cue points and loops) withough having to hook up the box.

2. Build overviews of outstanding files when the box is connected

3. More accurate bpm readings of tracks in the 65 - 75 bracket....ie Genuwine Pony...its 71 but SL reads it as 142.....Obviously this won't be easy, but in an ideal world!!!!

4. Have scope signal error messages on a key in the set up screen....COS I DONT ALWAYS HAVE MY SSL BOOKLET ON ME!

5. Seamless transitions when playing a mix cd that has been seperated into tracks.

6. Better control of master and track gain switches....IT AINT EASY ON A TRACK PAD!!!


Me thinks thats it for now..but more to follow!!

Totally agree with you on the whole visual bit. When I started with SSL I was scared cause I only knew where my stuff was based on my order and the way things *looked*. I had to get used to not having what you suggest. After almost a year now, I think I am ok...

damn computers.

suggestion 1

been said a lot but i feel ssl needs something to bump up the

volume

i use the gain on the ssl channels and on my mixer which gets

satisfactory results but i feel it could do with a bit more

amplification from the box


i have a feeling you would only be able to acheve this by a hardware upgrade though (hope im wrong )



suggestion 2:

2 more decks

mabye a button to toggle between dek 1 and 3 and dek 2 and 4


thats it for me


video dont intrest me but it seem to interest everyone else

I was thinking today as I was building some crates that it would be nice to be able to export crates to .m3u playlist or to be able to add highlighted tracks to Windows Media when ctl + o is used.

At this time when ctl + o is used only one track is added to Window Media even if two songs are highlighted. Another option I guess would be to drag a highlited track from SSL to Windows Media's Library where it could then be played or saved as .m3u. Just an idea, please feel free to add or criticize.

instead you could set up a cue point at the place after you want to skip, that's what I do in that case. Then you just don't push it if you don't want to skip ahead.

skip out isn't logical since we have cue points we can set (if you have enough rhythm to push the button on beat that is)


The skip function is logical if you're doing super quick mixes all night. 90% of my gigs are in NYC and quick mixes are a must for the venues I play. I am always trying to keep pace up in my sets so it would be helpful for me. FYI: you can also just press the cue button over and over again instead of using a loop function... but that doesn't mean that the loop function isn't logical, Mr, Spock.

Well man, it is a "pet-peeve" cause Serato happens to be a pretty complex program when you come to it for the first time, its not a fun easy little toy that is plain and straight forward, you know that!

If you read about it and you forgot then that's cool, just read about it again! Lost your manual? Download the web/pdf version!
Or why not even do a search on the forum first? Lazy people, don't get the best of me or many other users in this forum as you can tell. And sometimes the truth hurts, but I am sure you won't be suggesting OLD ideas as NEW features anymore, eh? lol

Sorry I foget to include this in the last post.... but the the pitch adjustments would be great for the old school Tech 1200's guys like myself. I dont like CD players and I dont want to spend money on a new pair of TT with pitch adjustment on it. Plus, not every club I play at has modern equipment. Most NYC clubs seem to have Old Fashion Techniques 1200's. The Pitch adjustment plus all the other features that Serto has right now will help Keep the old school turntables around alot longer.
DJ BIS 6:20 AM - 16 August, 2007
Whoah, thats an interesting idea. I guess I will hold off spending 1G on M5G's?

Thanks Tage1.
Dj Tage1 7:20 PM - 16 August, 2007
What's Up BIS. I think thats feature request is probably the most needed one of all (my personal opinion). Pitch adjustments with the Pitch lock that serato has built in already would be so Killa for Dj's like myself that like to blend alot.

Any word on if this will ever be a feature that will be added to Serato? Can one of the moderators let me know.

Thanks,

New feature to be added?

Compare unnamed files to a wave bank the find the missing ID3 the way the INCREDIBLE Foobar does!!!

Other formats like MPC
+ Universal format converter for free

Fast writing matching the Itunes data base
So that when I records an album I don' have to retype 10 times every name, genre...

Doing a bigger Record & Save file Button!

Upgrading seriously the context menus!!

Allowing midi in & out to get external effects and sequencer and samplers and the beat!
Being able to record a whole side of an album (yes 30mn)
and then the soft would propose me the best editing by just detecting the silence between the tunes by a clever noise gate!!! GREAT!!!

Chosing where I record them, I don't want them on C: that means I can't partitionate my internal HD, and can't record my vinyls directly in my external HD!!

Detecting the BPM directly when I record vinyls...

Having a BPM figure that can be 2 different BPMs!!!
Most old tracks are not at 1 BPM, the guitarist would come at 90 then the drummer 93, the chorus 96 the outro 105
Or rockets like 100 to 130 like Jacksons enjoy yourself?

Recording directly in WAV and not in AIFF, is it already possible?
It would allow me to burn cds of my recorded vinyls easier!

Leaving the windows bar at the bottom and Serato in a normal window not a special one that obliges me to press the windows key to recover the sight of the bottom bar!

Adapting a minimalist tempo mixer!! It already time stretches so that one should be easy guys! it would allow us to load a few tracks on each virtual deck and go and chat that beautiful lady over there!

That's my first mail after 2 days recording my vinyls, no mixes yet!

Nice to see someone is writing all suggestions in one post... I think it would help if you post your ideas in seperated threads, really! That way we (the users) can show support for you ideas, b/c this thread her is actually about "Vote for your top 3 (three) feature suggestions!"
DJ TONY LITTLE 5:33 PM - 16 December, 2007
It isn't right that you can only use the Video feature and Record if you have the TTM57SL Mixer. Myself and alot of other dj's aren't about to go spend $1,500 on a mixer just so we can use the video feature. Rane needs to make a SSL Version where we can use the Video and Record feature with the regular SSL Interface Box. I know alot of dj's are going to be complaining soon.
DJ BLACKGH 1:41 AM - 17 December, 2007
I agree with you a hundred percent,if Serato knew some features were going to be exclusive to TTM57SL , the Serato company should have given DJ's the options to choose. Rane should make this video and record feature available to SSL Box too. i know a lot of DJ's are gonna join this wagon.
bourbonstmc 3:12 AM - 17 December, 2007
As to the most recent posts in this thread:

Video? Don't care.

Windows Media support in addition to iTunes, whatever. Instead of iTunes? Fuggetaboutit!



As far as the original topic & format of the thread:


1. PLAY COUNT!
2. export library, crates, review, etc. as text file
3. Did I mention PLAY COUNT?!!!

i can never seeing it working with just SSL1,
if you want video just sell your mixer & SSL1 and upgrade to the 57.


i wont be compalaning,i'm happy with what i can do with my 56+SSL,and its cool that it gets updated with new tools with every update
but if i ever need a new mixer ,i'll be getting a 57.
Drimachus 11:46 AM - 17 December, 2007
1. Cue points adjusted for color-blindedness. (i.e. put that red one at the other end)
2. A nice easy to use drag and drop effects box.
3. More cue points. Maybe it's just me but I've never used more than two loops, but i could use about eight cue points.

I agree, but having less of one desn't "make room" for the others. On the 57 I suppose there could be the equivalent of a "SHIFT" button to enable a second bank of cuepoints. Or they could just leave it to be controlled by a MIDI device.

The modifier key idea is good. It makes me think of those 6-button car radios that can store 12 & 18 presets for FM stations. It doesn't have to be limited to the 57 though (that'd be downright wrong). Keyboard shortcuts can stay 1-5 for the left deck and a modifier key like Alt/Option... that would make 10 cue points. I can even stencil the blue numbers on the KB Cover for my macbook.
Konix 8:06 PM - 17 December, 2007
The problem with modifier keys, especially for the cue points, is that ctrl+1,2,3,etc is already used (to set cue points), alt+1,2,3 is already used (for auto loops),and shift+1,2,3 is already used (to trigger cue points). Plus, what would the keyboard shorcuts be for cues 6-10?

However, I like the second bank idea and would solve all the above issues. All you would need is a button around the cue area on the GUI to select bank 1 (cues 1-5) or bank 2 (cues 6-10). All the keyboard shortcuts and modifiers wouldn't be affected and in fact would be the same.
nik39 8:12 PM - 17 December, 2007
Konix, I think they are talking about a modifier "key" on the TTM57.
Konix 8:20 PM - 17 December, 2007
Well, either way, I like the bank 1/2 idea. That way it can be used by both SL1 and 57 users.
Idlemind1999 8:55 PM - 17 December, 2007
I was reading over my post... theres a word missing on at the beginning of the 57 sentence. "Like..." I meant a modifier LIKE on the 57 (Loop mode to record mode, to deck mode" It doesnt matter where the modifier button is. Could be on the GUI, on the KB, 57, MIDI or something.
remp 11:35 PM - 19 December, 2007
Now that you have the Midi option, would make sense to have 3 band eq, volume, and other mixer related options included in the interface allowing you to play from internal mode with a midi controller and nothing else.

If not all the time, maybe there could be a "midi mode" where these options would be available.

Yes.. laptop in internal mode / midi controller..

Seems like they are commng out with alot of midi controllers geared toward torque and tractor etc... serato should have enough options to go that route as well.

I probably wouldn't go that route in the clubs, but would be great option for the occasional mobile gig etc. eliminatig the need for many "pounds" of gear

I actually second that!! This feature could come in handy for freeing up space for other things... I.E. Swap WAV view for EFX, ect.


Not to mention the lowered CPU stress it would mean, which in turn might make it possible to lower the latency on low end machines.

My bad nik, I always forget that some of you guys have that (no one I know has one). I also didn't realize that any 1500+ dollar mixer on this earth wouldn't have such an obvious feature, but how would you add it to an existing product.

pitch lock! pitch lock!!!

pitch lock is a MUST on any basic dj software!! this is a basic feature that comes pretty much standard on any dj'ing c.d. player you buy it holds the pitch of the voice, when u spped it up or slow it down the voice stays the same pitch.... so it doesnt sound like alvin and the chipmunks or like biggie with a tooth ache(too slow)!! would be like the icing on the cake for this program i'm telling you!!!

PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!!!!
DJ SKYWALKER 4:39 AM - 22 January, 2008
the ablility to configure b.p.m.'s!! that would be nice also ...another basic feature that is usually standard!!

1. Record Video like you do your other mixes (that might mean a TTM58)

2. Fix master tempo or Keylock from wavering and being distorted .

3. Add and imports favorites so I don't have keep doing all those clicks
to find folders, will make it faster to find songs.

4. Faster start up time.

5. Make it impossible to auto sync or beat match, if ever asked for via forums
make it so that the program will delete itself off their computer leaving a
black screen with letters saying NOT FOR FAKERS.

I've been djing for 20+ I would add
1. Better Quaility of sound
2. Recording feature if will not put to much load on unit(Laptop)
A lot of these other problems that I've read, I haven't experience. Maybe because I am old school Hip Hop DJ. a Mixer, 2 turntables and Skillzzz and now 10 less crates to carry around!
Serato: Big Ups to making a product that will carry the same status as the Technics 1200 has for the last 20 years. BUT, For these cats that want features that suppliment real DJ skillzz. FKem. "Auto Beat match" wtf You can make a CD in itunes and Play it. Go to school, pay someone to train you on this craft. They will most likely undercut the real deal because they have not put in the sweat and time in thier craft, so then they don't know the real value of a DJ.

Also for the people that have problems. I bought a Laptop exclusively for serato and thats it. That may fix alot of problems. Do you use your Mixer or turntable for anything else. Now this is a part of hardware in DJing now. I have not experienced not one, And I MEAN NOT ONE problem since converting to serato.
A Gemini Mixer which I will be upgrading to Rane TTM 57SL or Pioneer DJM-909
2 Technic 1200's

OK, it's been a while, so time to repeat what I've said before:

1. FLAC or Apple lossless support
2. Don't turn tracks green as soon as they're loaded into a player. I'd rather they didn't change colour at all than have the system we have now. The current system is misleading, as it tells me I've played tracks that I've never played live. I'm looking at alternative software for precisely this reason.
3. Auto-cue to the beginning of the audio in internal and relative mode.

For normal DJing this would not be necessary. It has been discussed before. Just do a quick search.

A way to move the start and end position of a loop/cue with a midi assignable rotarty or slider

A way to scroll through the loop numbers rather than using the left right buttons on either side

Transifier to be able to be assigned to a rotary and slider, and to be able to move to a shorter or longer loop length with the one slider/rotary

A way to be able to move from one bpm loop to another with a slider/rotary, for example 1-2-4-8-4-2-1-1/2-1/4 etc.

I thought this was a feature suggestion post not a justify to everyone why you want that feature. I agree accuracy is not such an issue at say 133 bpm but at 55 bpm it makes a big difference. you pitch up or down just 1 bpm on a faster record and you don't notice, do it on a slower record and you here a major difference. 54.5 bpm an 55.0 bpm both read 55 bpm so when doing acapella and instrumental mashups doesn't always sound as tight as it could without extra on the fly correction. i have always done my bpm's that way and would like to see it in serato. if you don't want to do it that way then don't.
To pitch up a 55bpm up 1 bpm is about 2% on my pitch control
To pitch up a 133bpm up 1 bpm is about 0.5% on my pitch control

I agree accuracy is not such an issue at say 133 bpm but at 55 bpm it makes a big difference. you pitch up or down just 1 bpm on a faster record and you don't notice, do it on a slower record and you here a major difference. 54.5 bpm an 55.0 bpm both read 55 bpm so when doing acapella and instrumental mashups doesn't always sound as tight as it could without extra on the fly correction. i have always done my bpm's that way and would like to see it in serato. if you don't want to do it that way then don't.
To pitch up a 55bpm up 1 bpm is about 2% on my pitch control
To pitch up a 133bpm up 1 bpm is about 0.5% on my pitch control

ALWAYS? Even Befor they made digital BPM couters that TOLD you the BPM to 2 decimal places? Kinda hard to get to 2 decimal places using a stop watch like alot of us learned to use to use just to mark our vinyl.... let alone having something tell us what the BPM was exactly while the record is playing. as for have a track that is 54.5 and 55 bpm and mixing them... well if you treat the BPM as a REFERENCE ONLY (B/C I have not found ANY BPM counter thats COMPLEATLY right all the time) you can then you know that you are going to have to change them to match, wich BTW should realy only take you a few seconds to do.

Suggestions are subject to scrunty wheter its a good idea or bad. After all it would effect us all if added. The older DJ's dont see the need for all the cool features as they grew up in an anlog world where you had to do it or you couldn't do it. In the Digtal world there are really no skills needed becasue the software assit you so much (BMP, Visual Aids, ect, ect. So forgive them, LOL us. It's nothing persnal just a oldschool dj's way of thinking at least when it comes to BMPs...

First: Learn to spell:
Second: BPMs with a stopwatch with decimal places is easy:BARS*BEATS/TIME*60=BPM (go to school).
No BPM counter, done with a stopwatch and counting beats and bars while listening to the music (duh! - the longer you count for, the more accurate the result). For your information, as human reaction speed is 0.2 seconds, it isn't that difficult to work out. Why do i have to explain this? I've done this for 20 years & all my mixes are tight. The purpose of Serato is to make my life easier & this would. I can scratch and mix all day long, so why do i have to explain my "suggestion"?
Marking your vinyl has got nothing to do with BPMs, so go away you little man you speak from where the sun shines, the only BPM counter I need is me. DJ Disturbed, I don't think you even know what you're talking about because you don't consider anybody else, which tells me you're inexperienced & selfish. Are you a bedroom dj by any chance?

BUT my point is that you still cannot be ACCURATE with a stop watch (and dont try to argue that you can be DEAD on with one b/c you cant no matter how much you try) AND as for programs doing BPM's for you..... I have tried several diff BPM programs and EACH one gave me a DIFF BPM when it got down to the decimal places. THats why they are not really that helpful to have it displayed that low. AND its much less cluttered on thd browser area without them there. As for the spelling comment..... I DONT HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO SPELL WELL TO DJ WELL... for your info I have Dyslexia and also have a hard time with spelling... even though i am a college grad.

BTW..... this has already been discussed in a few well heated threads and MOST of the guys in those threads were dead against it. As for the if you dont want it dont use it... well SSL uses the 2 decimal places for the looping stuff and I would be all for it if they put it in as a setting that you can change toshow how ever many places you want But just showing it no matter what IMHO would not be what alot of the guys on here have said they want... and a few people even omplain for a while when one of the beta versions arainged by BPM to 2 decimal places but didnt show them b/c it caused the songs to go out of alphabetical order within the bpms.

Hey don't make me look like the bad guy!

And plus, I got you, I got you. No need to say it twice... :)

Just know that this IS a very old subject which I don't know why i am here still talking for. SSL users requested this for a long time and finally Serato delivered, then they changed the display so that the 2 decimals would still be there if you click on the BPM.

The good thing is that I don't have that many 55BPM tracks to mix, otherwise I guess I would be screwed, eh?

No, seriously. Regardless of whether you are using the automated BPM finder on ANY software or you are clicking your space bar to get a BPM... it's not going to be RIGHT on the money (I don't think). So all that fuzzin' for BPM's that are useless at that accuracy level...

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!1111!!11!!!
+10000000000

I HAVE RUN THE SAME TRACK MUTIPLE TIME IN THE SAME PROGRAM AND EACH TIME IT GIVES ME SOMEHING DIFF. one time it would give me a bpm of 98.01, next time it would give me 98.74, next time 98.39. And ifthey qare tracks with a LIVE drummer.. then you can throw the decimals compleatly out b/c a live drummer will NEVER stay at the EXACT same speed the whole song, most very at around +/- 1-2bpm from start to finish (that does not take into account how many times he varies during the song... thats just start bpm and end bpm)

I see you want to keep dragging this out & now there are 3 of you (out numbered or what), If you read what i said you would realise i didn't use software to count bpm's. I counted them by ear using a simple digital stopwatch. These results will differ from one person to the next but for me they are pretty accurate. I would never dream of trying to bpm a live track anything further than for a guide. I think all THREE of you miss the point completely. All i want the software to to is to display the BPM i enter into the mp3 file tag accurate or not. You may not see the reason behind it (because you are small & live in your own little worlds). I am a paying customer who spent about £370.00 on the live box & nearly a £1000.00 on the mixer so i have every right to add my feature suggestion whether you like it or not!

Funkytownstopsix 11:50 PM - 1 February, 2008
I got your point but when I say hear or by ear I really mean that... I count nothing so if I mix an acapella with instrumental it's all done by ear no counting involeved. I don't even look at my BPM's. I do these on the fly and if I want to record to post or play I will then take the time to fine tune it. Like I said in the post above add it just give me the option to not see it. Man u go hard I will have to reconsider DJ BIS as a team mate, sticking 12 inches down somebodies throat is pretty tough...LOL I hope your talking about a Record.... LMAO

To turn all the tracks back to white just click review then click clear.

That feature is something completely different. It's appropriate to reset the list after a gig. It's not designed to be done constantly mid-gig to fix a problem that, IMO, shouldn't exist in the first place.

Quote:
If you unload the track with ctrl+z, it goes back to white. They did that because people seemed to take issue with your same reason.

That's a waste of time. I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to explicitly unload tracks when what I actually want to do is just load an alternative track. Other software is intelligent enough to log track usage correctly - Serato still isn't.

As I said, I do not want to jump through hoops to avoid getting inaccurate information about what I've played. If Serato aren't going to make the tracking intelligent, at least give us a way to PERMANENTLY turn the damn thing off.

Ideally, what we really want is a system that gives us choices:

1. The current system.
2. Turn the system off completely.
3. Turn tracks green only after we've played the track for more than 30 seconds or so.
4. Turn the tracks green only when we change the track in the other player.

Unfortunately, implementing those options takes work, hence my request to at least be able to disable what we have. In the meantime, my search for alternative software continues.

Pete, you're missing the point.

CTRL-Z is a duct tape quick-fix for a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place. It's treating the symptoms and not the cause. It's something I CONSTANTLY forget to do when I'm busy trying to pick the next tune. And fundamentally, it's me having to constantly tell the Serato software that WHAT IT IS DOING IS WRONG. It's telling me that I've played a track that I HAVEN'T PLAYED. The software is making incorrect assumptions, and instead of being able to simply tell it not to make that assumption in the first place, it keeps making those incorrect assumptions. And I have to keep correcting it it. EVERY DAMN TIME. It gets old, very quickly.

I use the SL1, so I can't expect my software to know what I've actually played with the volume pot up on th emixer; or what I was just listening to in cue.

I suppose if you're using the TTM57, you might have a justifiable complaint, although I don't know how intelligent the volume section is on it since I don't have it.

Artwork. . . Artwork. . . Artwork! Even for wav files!! Please??

A built in function in SSL that allow you to add artwork to wavs and mp3 from inside the program and a better display for it. This would help when browsing through your records. Also, when you browse through mp3s, it takes a second or so for the artwork to appear. Can this be quicker please?

Also, just like itch, it would be better to have smaller decks and info, more info for browsing and artwork.

Thanks, Ben :)
Releaux 6:59 PM - 4 February, 2008
Ben - The WAV and AIFF specs have very limited metatag abilities, so adding artwork to these formats would probably require some sort of external artwork folder. I suspect it would be a pain both for Serato to program and for users to deal with, especially when moving tracks between drives, etc.

I also want better artwork capabilities (see: scratchlive.net), but a better solution for extremely high quality audio (which I also want) would be support for the FLAC and/or ALAC which have better metatag capabilities than AIFF/WAV.

I like your ideas for in-program artwork addition and faster artwork display!

There's nothing like going through your records knowing what your picking out just from what's written across the top or the picture on it.

you can record using the 57 mixer, or you cna use a separate program, run and output from your mixer to your line-in on your computer and record that way, b/c the SL1 has no way to record your mix b/cyou are using an external mixer that it has no DATA comms with to record the mix, BUT the 57 does so thats why the 57 can but the SL1 cant.

yeah... make sure you dont have the keylock turned on on the cd players. having it turned on messes up the control signals and can cause SSL not to work right when you change the pitch on the cd players. Use the keylock built into the software only and you should be fine... as long as you are NOT using too big of a pitch range (the normal +-8% will sound ok, but if you use any other pitch %'s SSL might not be able to keep the pitch lock sounding right.

3. Incorporate mp3Gain into Serato to be used in conjunction with Auto Gain.

As a footnote, wouldn't it be more prudent to stop giving the Apple formats priority. iTunes & it's associated formats create more distractions than they're worth for the tech boffins.

The 2500 already works quite well. The only thing that needs to be added is the LED's on the 2500 need to light up, and the jogwheel ratio need to be 1:1 with the marker on the virtual deck like a record. If you need help let me know.

3:Better Bpm counting(Some tracks 71bpms give it 140....)
4:Add some basics effects like Echo etc to ssl1(control them via midi)
5:Bpm is fine but also it will be mazing if you pout also and a Harmonic Analyzer(Tag one the track like bpm) so that gives to you the basic Key note of the tracks,mix the same keynote tracks the mix sounds like....dream!

as for #4.. If you build the overviews with the box disconnected you can set the range to make it right. The thing is, if you dont do it that way serato uses its normal range witch if i remember correctly is 71-140bpm. Its like that for almost every BPM analyzer i have ever used. the BPM analyzer in SSL is one of the best around IMHO.

I would like to see a better BPM Displaying, showing fractionated numbers.
Example: Instead of displaying 128BPM, I would like to see 128.5 or 135.2, like other softwares make available.
Thanks.

That would be real nice, and Id like to be able to quickly switch internally in SSL, what channel those samples go to.

Right now I'm working around this using 1 track file with 5 cue points, running internal mode and triggering those by Midi.

Dj Mobius 7:37 PM - 21 February, 2008
I propose the following change to the review-ability for Serato

Currently there is only 1 color (green) to indicate that the track 'has been played before in the past'

I suggest a 2 color system to differentiate whether the track has been played before or after a certain date.
I.e. differentiate between "what did I play on my last set" and "what I have I played 'ever'". This 'cut-off' date should also be alterable if desired.

I think the option to even 'save' the playlist at the end of the night and export it to some XML or TXT format would be great to share with other DJ's or to keep for refference. Perhaps it's also possible to keep a link (refreshable) to the file so that if you load up an old playlist, you can simply "re-play" the same playlist again by selecting the song in the playlist and dropping it into the deck (for DJ's with a little brain blockage) instead of searching for the songs through your files.

1) Saved Loops in from Serato player to be used in ABS mode, not just REL/INT

2) Saved cues from serato player to be used in ABS mode as well. Helps on cd players when you have long intros or want to start from a certain point of song

3) being able to load/preview tracks faster in ABS , like the serato off-line player, instead of highlight and control shift for each track in folder
booman 5:02 AM - 5 March, 2008
The ability to trigger drops and they play out of channel 1 or channel 2 and you should be able to assign which one. you should be able to make a crate or assign like 6 drops or so to be triggered by say a s d f g keys,and have a volume control so the drops can be adjusted as not to clash with a song that is playing and most importantly a feature that allows you to hand trigger the sample or just hit the key once and the drop plays. you would also have to set a lenth limit so dummies wouldnt try to load a whole song in the damn banks.....this would be awesome for effects and drops

updated 2day

Compare unnamed files to a wave bank the find the missing ID3 the way the INCREDIBLE Foobar does!!!
Still want it


Other formats like MPC
+ Universal format converter for free
Still want it

Fast writing matching the Itunes data base
So that when I records an album I don' have to retype 10 times every name, genre...
Still want it BAAADLY! even though I found how to cut & paste!

Doing a bigger Record & Save file Button!
Still want it

Upgrading seriously the context menus!!
Still want it baadly too!

Allowing midi in & out to get external effects and sequencer and samplers and the beat!
Still want it

Being able to record a whole side of an album (yes 30mn)
and then the soft would propose me the best editing by just detecting the silence between the tunes by a clever noise gate!!! GREAT!!!
Still want it BAADLY!

Chosing where I record them, I don't want them on C: that means I can't partitionate my internal HD, and can't record my vinyls directly in my external HD!!
I understood the reactivity matter!
But that means I'm gonna have to buy a 250 internal mac laptop!
& still won't be able to record all my best tracks only there!

Detecting the BPM directly when I record vinyls...
Works better by building overwiews but when putting them in the player & tapping it really isn't reliable!


Having a BPM figure that can be 2 different BPMs!!!
Most old tracks are not at 1 BPM, the guitarist would come at 90 then the drummer 93, the chorus 96 the outro 105
Or rockets like 100 to 130 like Jacksons enjoy yourself?
WE ALL REALLY NEED That!!!!


Recording directly in WAV and not in AIFF, is it already possible?
It would allow me to burn cds of my recorded vinyls easier!
OK I'm stupid, i recently understood that waves don't remember ID3 tags!
So I re encode all my cds in AIFF!


Getting a free declicker with serato to clean our recorded files!
YEAH!!!!!

Leaving the windows bar at the bottom and Serato in a normal window not a special one that obliges me to press the windows key to recover the sight of the bottom bar!
MINIMUM REQUIREMENT nope?

Adapting a minimalist tempo mixer!! It already time stretches so that one should be easy guys! it would allow us to load a few tracks on each virtual deck and go and chat that beautiful lady over there!
OK I recorded a few mixes a play them with the cd time code
but I Still want it!

That's my first mail after 2 days recording my vinyls, no mixes yet!

next thing you know, ppl will be downloading ssl for free and mixing with it...one way or another.

setting cues and loops, fine. wanna practice mixes? hook up the dongle.
Konix 1:40 AM - 25 March, 2008
And you can already fast forward/rewind in the offline player, use the keyboard shortcuts. But yeah, pitch slider ain't gonna happen.
djjoefresh 5:35 AM - 25 March, 2008
Sorry if I repeat some wanted features:

1. Key - list track keys in the library, save key info in the ID3 tag, let overviews figure it out or set it manually
2. File Renaming within SSL - keep my file names consistent (ex. Artist - Title, Artist - Album - Title - BPM, etc.)
3. More cue points - self explanatory, maybe bump up to 8 cue points?
4. Beatgrid effect - able to chop up beats on the fly with the click of a button/key (similar to VirtualDJ or the Pioneer CDJ-400)
5. Recording mixes from within SSL - would be easier and safer than running a sound recorder program in the background

That's all I can think of for now.

in both modes
in fact you can't be super precise as to the in and out loop points
not musically enough
we want an internal sampler!
DJ BIS 11:08 AM - 30 June, 2008
Look for the GlobalFX sampler developed by DJ Knocks. People are loving it and its probably going to be the only viable option to your request.

PS: I am still not understanding what is not precise and musical about pressing the IN point of a loop. I mean you gotta be on time. Are you using a monitor and a headphone? Because if you are trying to hit the IN and OUT loops by looking at the screen you may not be able to catch it fast enough or consistently enough.
I have had very good experience with looping accuracy. But then again I do have a powerful notebook that acts fairly fast at high buffer settings...
Is your 'puter up to snuff? maybe she is betraying you?
DJ Tom B. (Booty Shakers) 7:23 PM - 30 June, 2008
I've got a supa decent machine here too
the problem is I loop in internal so that i really click (on a stopped wave of course!)
as precisely as possible
aka
as close to right before the kick drum on the 1 beat of the loop I want to do
and click the exit point as close to right before the first 1 after my loop
but the point is
real samplers have various looping editing systems that allow you to magnify your wave and relly spot exactly your marker, allowing you to avoid troubles with non regular 70's drummers that still groove as hell!-)
just a good loop is not that simple to do when you're a musician and not a just a dj...
and ssl isn't precise enough to make a musical loop apart from maybe hiphop and house and electro music!
DJ BIS 7:38 PM - 30 June, 2008
well, if you are looping say a Funk track with a live drummer and he/she speeds up or slows down a bit during the course of your loop, you can't do anything about that. The loop is correct if you drop the IN and OUT points where you want them.

SSL will even try to adjust loops sometimes to be more accurate so that they sound good, even if you mess up an on-the-fly IN LOOP point or something. I think what you are talking about with the 70's drummers can only be addressed by quantizing on a production program or live on a program like ABLETON LIVE???

Have you tried using the + & - buttons to zoom in or out of your waveform?
dropping a cue point or a loop point does not require you to be fully zoomed into the waveform though.

But again, I don't think that this is a problem with SSL.
Some users that use CD players connected with SSL may have trouble that's why using the keyboard directly for command input in SSL is essential I think.

If I am not mistaken, the bpm range helps with accuracy. By defining a smaller range the more accurate SSL can be. To find the bpm SSL is sort of making a guess. The less numbers you are guessing from the better chance you have of being correct. Something like that.
Jo Flash of NY Hitmen 7:21 PM - 2 July, 2008

This is a new request I have put in the suggestions forum:

scratchlive.net

"I saw another DJ program which has this feature, right next to the normal search feature it has a second "exclude" search field which allows to exclude any terms from your normal search results on the fly.

You can use either one alone or both at the same time and the result is much faster music finds which are most of the time the thing that DJ's with large libraries need!

This probably was suggested before but I could not find it anywhere on the forum."
fl0w 1:38 AM - 5 July, 2008
Features that would be both useful and easy to code =)
+ icon for files without overview
+ "Properley Return to crate position after search" I can't believe I've seen this one appear only once! Please give the focus to the track list when Enter is pressed...
+ option to hide the beat indicator between the waveforms

Not so easy but would be good to have
+ configurable font size
+ codecs (flac, m4a...)
+ artwork in separate files, not only embedded in the track files (please please)
+ "get rid of that crunchy noise at the beginning of vinyls. *crunch*"
+ more aggressive track-end warning

Just cool
+ album artwork with the virtual TT
+ option to show the artworks in the track list
+ SL1 WDM driver
+ www.metalfacerecords.net

Unlikely
+ 4 decks with 2 SL1s (will be great in a few years when QXGA screens are wideky available ^^')

Dream
+ filters! a MIDI-controlled emulation of an Electrix EQ Killer per voice would be great, and why not various types of filters... And unlike reverbs etc. filters are OK pre-fader.

A few things I'd rather not have in SSL
- pitch shift/multiplier
- EQ parameters in each track
- coverflow
KEEP IT SIMPLE!

Damn long Top3 ^^

DJ MouseAT 12:01 PM - 25 July, 2008
OK, yes, for the pedantic, that's true. However, for the vast majority of us, it's a hell of a lot closer than the current system, which will flag tracks that were loaded but never played.

I know for a fact that for me, if they use the "after loading the other deck" system, it'll always be 100% accurate.
musiclee 5:42 PM - 25 July, 2008

NOT WRONG !!!

if track turns green ONLY after it's been CONTINUOSLY played for 45 seconds let's say, i don't think this track has just BEEN sitting on the deck,
i think it's BEEN, or is BEING played.

Indicate the total run time of tracks in a crate.

A really neat thing would be to have a setting where the user can define how long the crossfade between tracks would be eg 32 beats. Then based on the BPM and length of track Scratch could estimate the total play time.

This'd be great for throwing together a quick selection before a gig.

TTM57 as a VSTi (Cubase VST Instrument). When on, it would record all channels constantly and all manipulation (faders, knobs etc.).

After recording you had two tracks with your audio files from deck 1&2 separately, and if you made a mistake you could correct it in cubase (for example this mix you messed up because you pushed the XF too late, just fix it in cubase).

How about that?

This would be a good function to help separate music and view only the music of interest of the audience I'm catering towards.

2. Crate update similar to MediaMonkey 'Add/Rescan Tracks to Library': I would like a 'add folders' option under SL Library Setup where the program checks those specific folders listed for music updates at program startup. Those folders/sub-folders and files should be replicated in the crate view of SL.

This function would eliminate the hassle of manually updating crates in SL.

1. Midi Clock - midi clock out so that syncing of other devices such as Ableton is easier/possible

2. Multiple Loops. . . just like creating multiple cues, multiple loops would be amazing . . . it would expand/open up the creative mixing/mashup possibilities. . .

3. Track names above. . . decks below. . . like itch. It would make it easier to select tracks and browse when your laptop is low down. This could save a lot of peoples backs. . .

-album art is a waste of space use for something more important.
-zoom the waveform as you adjust the volume.

this is just some to keep in mind.

selective rescan of id3 tags.

I don't want to have to rescan an entire collection when only a few have new or updated info.

Have it where you select the files and drag to an area like the "build overviews" feature when offline.


---------

have build overviews feature available while connected to a soundcard/ttm57sl as well and not only for offline player.
DJ SuB XeRo 8:33 PM - 26 September, 2008

resizable portions of the skins.
example:

you want the spinning discs smaller and increase the VSL (video plug-in) preview window bigger.


Basically the ability to resize each part according to your needs on your screen.


On my macbook pro I can't hardly even see the preview windows for VSL.

You gotta be kidding...

First of all, stop listening to what people are telling you, it will open up time to use waveforms in a way that will take your sets BEYOND what you do now.

Second, I am for modular ANYTHING. Definitely, but why anybody would want to remove a well designed feature that aids new and seasoned DJ's is beyond me... if its just for the sake of removing it. If it means removing it to replace it with say "video monitors" for VIDEO-SSL then absolutely...

Don't worry about people say, just use the tools available to take your sound beyond. get creative!
BriChi 1:29 PM - 29 September, 2008
DJ BIS, I have been djing for over 20 years and I am very creative when I dj, this still doesn't stop the fact that the waveforms are useless to many people.

To me, I think they are a waist because I don't look at them other than to see if there are drops in songs that I am not familiar with yet and they take take up cpu power that causes your laptop to get a little hotter which is worse for the laptop, and last, like you said, it would make more room up top so we have have the vsl video monitors up there or the 57sl hardware buttons up there so more of your music library can be shown.
Trystan 12:12 AM - 30 September, 2008
1) When having the prepare window open and using the scroll on the 57 it jumps back to the prepare window! Major pain in the arse!

2) When the set bpm is checked and I try and set a different BPM for a VIDEO file it always goes back to what SSL think's the bpm is.
ie. Pink's - So What is 126 when SSL says it's 95. I try and put in 126 and SSL always puts it back to 95. For video files.

3) Export Playlist To Text (without Scratch Tools or Mixlist...even tho they are sweet)

4) 56 LED Meters :)

5) ASSOCIATE VIDEO!!! To en an entire crate of MP3's!!!

I propose the following change to the review-ability for Serato

Currently there is only 1 color (green) to indicate that the track 'has been played before in the past'

I suggest a 2 color system to differentiate whether the track has been played before or after a certain date.
I.e. differentiate between "what did I play on my last set" and "what I have I played 'ever'". This 'cut-off' date should also be alterable if desired.

I think the option to even 'save' the playlist at the end of the night and export it to some XML or TXT format would be great

when opening review tab...and the "CLEAR Option" being able to select 10 files to clear and NOT your entire library! That Sucks!

A) VSL
1. bug fixes aka magic library scrolling on Macbook Pro
2. a way to load up videos from my 2 hard drive system, like if i played say 15 audio tracks in a row my video hard drive falls a sleep making the next time i load up a video a bit of a problem in that it freezes for 35 to 80 seconds+
3. a tool that helps us with large libraries ( 2 tb audio, 2 tb video) to just manage them better. For Instance; in my case be it audio or video I have doubles, triples, and in audio like 15 of the same song. How about design a tool that helps me go through this and helps me figure out which one i would like to save as it is the best version. take into account everything from sampling rate, to ones with existing cue points, to size of wave forms, get rid of corrupt files etc.
4. Video clip Sampler- ie one that would hold my dj logo and allow me to drop it over existing video output.
5. Text support- ie. pioneer 5000 mixer example allow me to type in Happy birthday ____ or drinks $5 for next few minutes, etc.
6. sync video/ audio effects- ie pioneer 5000 mixer. make it an option in set up screen, and say echo do that to video as well, say filter filter out the light of the image etc.
B) SSL SSL box
1. Is relatively perfect don't mess with a good thing,
2. just better library management.
3. automatic saving of review area.

C)TTM57sl
1. Effects; please simplify the goddamn things. It should not take a phd to use a simple echo effect. Simplify them get the djm 800 or djm 400 and just copy a system similar to theirs.
2. make the b1- b6 buttons, kill buttons, more durable i had my mixer and never use the buttons because they will wear and the limited times i do use them the low kill button and b4 is dying on me already.

D) MAKE A 4 CHANNEL DJM 800 TTM 57Sl, that would beat the pioneer SVM 1000
and link it to VSL

even if I had to buy 2 brand new MAcbook pros to run such a thing I would do it lol. Ie
Computer 1 runs channels 1 and 4 and computer 2 runs channels 2 and 3. Cross fader controls channel 1 and 42 and 3 are post fader.

just also use the Denon Dnx 1500s as a guide as well with the sampler and mic section 2 3 band eq's per mic channel.

Computer 1 controls video, and computer 2 controls the effects. that way it would not overwhelm the processing power of one computer.

Keeping Track Of My Loops

Problems solved: Tie the Loops to the Cue Points
www.scratchlive.net
DJ MouseAT 12:20 PM - 12 October, 2008
OK, here's my latest list of features I'd like to see in SSL. Some I've mentioned already, others are new features I'd like to see now that I use internal mode with CDJ 400s.

1. An option to automatically stop playing a track if I'm in internal mode and the end of the track is reached. Alternatively, even if deck protection is switched on, allow me to load a track to a deck that has played past the end of the track.

2. For [EXPLICATIVE]'s sake, stop changing the [EXPLICATIVE] track colour when I haven't played the [EXPLICATIVE] track. Rant over.

3. Sort out the CUE behaviour on the CDJ-400. Looks like you guys might already be on top of this one, but just in case, see www.scratchlive.net

4. Auto Cue. If I load a track in internal or relative mode and it starts with silence, can we please have an option to set an automatic temporary cue point at the start of the audio?

5. The ability to sort the record case by more than one field. I'm tired of having to keep a second copy of all my MP3s to use with SSL with minimal tags to stop my collection being sorted by album and track number. When I'm looking for a track, I don't care about album or track number, I just want to sort by artist and title.

FLAC support would be nice, but 2, 3 and 5 are far more important to me than additional codec support at this particular moment in time.
nik39 12:25 PM - 12 October, 2008
1. in internal mode nothing will happen if the currently playing track has reached the end. There is an "auto" button which will play automatically the next track from a playlist/crate.

3. SSL 1.8.2 has native support for the CDJ-400. No Cue problemsanymore.
DJ MouseAT 1:46 PM - 12 October, 2008
Re: 1 - Somebody has missed the point. If I have deck protection enabled (so I can't accidentally load something in to the playing deck), when the track ends, the player keeps playing, so I actually have to stop the player manually (even though the track has ended) before I can load another tune into the player. That's annoying, especially when combined with problem #3.

Re: 3 - You've not read the other thread, have you? The problem is NOTHING to do with time code, and EVERYTHING to do with the native implementation.

it seems this addition would be very simple.... make one of the groups midi, to control ableton and other programs, (but ive always thought you could make two banks of groups , using the deck 1/2 button and then we could have six more groups to customize!!!!!!which would be nice......
Ozmosis 12:49 AM - 15 October, 2008
1. Plugins - Filter/Flanger/Delay etc plugin effects as mentioned above (VST/RTAS) - I love the retrigger plugin which comes with VirtualDJ. Stable and very cool.

There are some other suggestions which have been made by others earlier in the thread which i think would be nice features. Thumb nails, better organisation of crates etc.

However requests for things like: Auto Pitch/Sync are a joke. Hang up your headphones, give it up! Sounds like you need to hire a real DJ or maybe you should simply buy some mixed cds. I know lets just automate the whole process!!! (Muppets!!)
I remember the days when DJing required skill and Producers made their own sounds!

That doesnt mean everyone who uses Serato has no skill before i get flamed for my comments.
Timdelll 1:30 AM - 15 October, 2008
This whole post is confusing. Some of us are trying to change things way to fast. You get what you get and you dont get upset. Its not 2020 yet, slow down. I am with the guy who ranks on the guy who wants the whole thing automated. Are you a DJ or not, go get Atomixmp3 LOSER.

Heres a list of things that do not seem to hard to change. These improvements will give Serato more play at the bar. Wheather the DJ is there or just a manager playing songs during the day.

Early during my "night opener" portion of the night, I usually rock iTunes. WHY, because it crossfades the songs. Dead stops and DJ's dont mix. Simple fix. Under internal mode we have the auto button..............place a crossfade option there with like iTunes has option for between 1 and 12 seconds.

I would also love to see a MAT for PC like the one you have for MAC

We need something that gets our corrupt files out of the system. I hate when I drop the track and it locks my machine.

Ability to make the wave visual bigger, I have crap vision another 2 inches would be great.

Theres more but my mind works better when im in the booth. Ill post more soon..

Thx.

1 - the green text problem (y'all know what I mean)

2 - Multitrack Recording
my suggestion: prefade and pre-EQ recording of both channels, and the mixer as a VSTi in Cubase (or other SW). So you can edit the mix after recording it and fix stupid mistakes (for example if you forgot to add some treble to a song). I'd even pay extra for this feature.

Im sure people have suggested this before but i really would love a simple usb midi controller thats small and functions simply,more like the keys on my computer than the Dj midi usb's that have a big scratch wheel on it and fancy lights and big slidders...IM not a scratcher just a simple mixer/selector,I work most nights of the week and i find unplugging Cdj's or tech1210's and plugging into the serato box,leads in/out etc annoying and sometimes a nightmare as a lot of clubs have the mixer screwed in and leads tucked in and u cant get to the back,so i tend to just unplug leads from the Cdj's end and connecting direct to box and not using the tone cd's and using the computer keyboard to cue controller and play the tracks in Int mode.IT would be cool if there was a small controller similar to the look of scratch deck track that has 2 silders(slider like tech1210), 2 sets of plus and minus buttons to push tune up and down to match time for either side,play/stop and the five que points for either side all just a bit bigger than a cd box that plugs in and helps not to damage keys on your computer(computers are not cheap to replace).....Iv looked everywhere for something simple but all are either too big or with big scratch disk or not enough buttons for cue's or with round knobs or many faders etc....HERE IS A BASIC SKETCH OF MY CONCEPT.(Just edited a Korg x session pro photo to give the idea)

Thanks for the suggestion,sadly iv checked the behringer out a little while back and as i posted before,too many function,too distracting and 13inchs either way in size..! Iv found the nearest thing to what is kinda good for me for now is the Korg Nano series,cheap as chips and portable and u have a choice of what kinda controller u wanna use(knowing me i will def buy all 3..)gonna be great for my studio work,can use with logic as well as Serato.
Check it out,several pictures..

I haven't seen any body mention filterable attributes.
Example:

If I select House and I want to select Trance as well under genre that would be great. Kind of how in MS Excel you can turn on multiple filters. Thats one feature I'd like to see. I haven't loaded 1.8.2 yet but I know that in 1.8.1 there is no ability to adjust the height of the track search box. Thats something I'd like to see just fixed. I know in 1.8.0 it worked fine.

2. Auto-Looping/More Loop Controls such as viewing all the loops on the waveform and being able to activate them easier, such as them all being active and having to turn them off, rather than on. This is so that as you release one loop, the next one plays automatically. . .

3. S.O.S - Flip screen, tracks on the top and decks/loops/cues on the bottom like itch - SAVE OUR SPINES!



dj rebel 1:00 AM - 30 October, 2008
1. Better Navigation in Crates...example...go back to previously veiwed crates (and then forward to veiwed crates).

2. Better and/ or more colors for tracks and crates. Color text of track and crates to match option.

3. Resizing to allow for maximum crate/ track veiw area, (minimize player area), please.

possibly a software that lets you link songs together(sound wise) so when you put a track on one table or disk you get a list of tracks that you have link to having the same sound or can go together well with the song you just played. would help with improv spinning instead of a setlist.
also possible marks with the ability for text so you can mark on the track(would show up on the full song waveform)where 2 8 counts before the chorus is ect.

people need to stop using software like mixed in keys to dj and dj the right way,by ear,by heart.you cant call yourself a real dj if you need a software to make it easier for you to match two songs. one of the things i love about serato is that you can play as if you were playing right of the tables,no help,just you( the true dj) mixing as they should. i blame mixed in key and any other software that makes any bum outside think they`re dj and also blame them for the bums taking the gigs from real djs and having us not getting paid what we deserve:P but anyways, what i want to see in the new version,some effects like reverbs,echos and such which i hope with ableton it will able to do that but as a download and not a new 600 dollar investment

SpinThis! 11:54 PM - 13 November, 2008
or they claim they have "an ear" when they really don't harmonically train wrecking one song into another which bugs the shit out of me.

I'm all for keying tracks... it helps you make a quick decision about to play next and it confirm or deny your own intuition. I sort by the grouping tag (which is what I use to key). I don't use Mixed in Key—I key all the tracks I play via keyboard—but if it makes more DJs not clash like tonedeaf idiots, that's a win win for everyone. Eventually you learn this stuff by ear anyway and can identify songs correctly that aren't keyed.
WarpNote 8:50 AM - 14 November, 2008
I see Rapid Evolution/Mixed in key as learning tools, sure they do make mistakes about the keys more than often, but as these programs draw DJs attention to harmonic mixes and educates people. I'm all for it.
Dj_KaGeN 6:23 PM - 14 November, 2008
personally.. I can hear the harmonics of music and strive to mix at a higher level, never had formal musical training, but I do notice clashes immediately. Having tags to "HELP" me is one thing, I don't BANK on them all being right.

ok what the hell does me asking for lil effects have to do with my views,my opinions with a software that lets u plan your set before the gig.think before you start bashing. its my choice to hate mixed in keys/rapid evolution,. serato does not make mixing easy ,cuz if you still dont know how to dj you wont get anywhere with scratch live. what i was trying to say was that if your gonna need to use rapid/ mixed in keys as least learn how to dj., because imo once a f-ing gain imo if you start using that and claim to be a dj then you havent learned crap. to quote spin this "you learn the stuff by ear" this was not meant to be a pissin match as you said but if people cant have contructive critisim and share their thoughts then whats the use
Summonedknight69 10:24 PM - 14 November, 2008
dont you think when people mix in key it sounds boring. pvd,pete tong and such mix with it and its the same rhythm over and over,yea a few breaks from the original recording but its the same thing over and over.im not the only one that finds it a cop out.i know everyone on this forum has skills or we would not be so confident in what we do. guess im old school,you get what you work for,you earn that respect.
WarpNote 3:19 AM - 15 November, 2008
Easy now, having MIK or RE analyzing your music does not mean you have to follow the Camelot wheel like a drunken sailor heading for the whorehouse!

I never suggested not training your ears! Tagging tracks with keys as a preparation of a set, should be a good thing no? Even though you know the key of a song, does not mean you have to play all night like a continuos single song.

And yes, having a software trying to guess the key can be considered "cheating". But as we all know, these programs has quite a bit of an error rate anyway. I don't think dj's using these apps are more cheats than a musician using a metronome...

Do you manually tap all your bpm's? Didn't think so. As bpm's are far more critical, I'd say that having software calculate those is even more "cheating".

Let's face it, all digital dj'ing (both DVS systems & CDJs) is far easier than regular vinyl only. SSL is closer to the original vinyl experience than its competition, but still its digital.

I don't think they should build key detection like MIK/RE into SSL, but I do think these apps are "legitimate" for any DJ to take advantage from.


Now for the next version of SSL id like to see:
1. Cover artwork in the Library -> scratchlive.net
2. A working link with iTunes -> scratchlive.net
De Jay Toyo 9:46 AM - 15 November, 2008
Instead of Key match i meant more of a try set list. you make your own links to songs. so when one goes on a deck one two or three more more songs will show up that you have linked to that song. would make mixes more on the spot and the same time not having to search vastly though the song list. not in key but just songs that go together either key, bpm, or chord progression, ect. Just my views
n:deuce 4:25 PM - 15 November, 2008
^that is a good idea...something different fo sho. maybe the linked songs could show up in the prepare window.
skinnyguy 10:41 PM - 15 November, 2008
i'd prefer key detection over coverflow or anything to do with artwork.

DJWildman 3:59 AM - 2 December, 2008
OK first of all thank you for the ability to increase the font size in 1.8.2 big help for me i really appreciate that!!

OK My suggestions for 1.9

1. A CD Ripper with cddb capabilities all in one with the ability to put BPM in if known if you all know what i mean like the original PCDJ Red lol.

2. And this is just selfish for me and the rest of the guys that do Radio here ... a sampler for drops and station id's etc i know i know its been said but damn its time serato lololol!!!!!

3. Again this is selfish for me and the rest of the radio guys the ability to import my playlist to a word doc or whatever cause we all know Mediabase doesnt pick up all the songs right guys and to solve the green text problem..just add code that changes the text to green after say 45-50 seconds that seems like it would solve everything no?

4. I love that when you edit the artist in serato it edits it right on the mp3 tag itself and changes it right in my external!! ..can we do this with the title of the song as well is that doable?

iTunes & Crates integration so using iTunes playlists on others laptops is easier to set up.

I think a feature within serato that reads itunes playlists and converts automatically to crates each time you open would be ideal.

This would mean backing up your music/crates on an external hard drive would be so easy and could just plug into someone elses laptop with EASE. . .

1/ Sort by Column A, then Column B.
explained: Sort by BPM Primarilly, then sub-sort by Key (saved in Comment Field by Mixed in Key)

2/ .mp2 file suffix support on import
explained: I (and some others) don't use .mp3 files - Some of us use .mp2 files @ 384k cause they have tag support and sound far better than 320k mp3. These mp2 files already work with serato (and other digital dj software), but I have to keep renaming files from .mp2 to .mp3 just so SSL can import them.

3/ Automatic Crossfade and Play/Shuffle by Crate in Internal mode
explained: At a gig you might want or need to run background music or start a set so you can (go to the bar/toilet/chill) SSL should be able to automatically select songs in order - or by shuffle - within the currently selected crate - and then crossfade them on the fly ***at a point where the audio level drops below a specified -db level*** within the last 15 or so seconds of a track. (See Winamp SQR Crossfade plugin as a point of perfect reference).

1. 3rd "virtual video deck" to run a visualizer, logo section (up to 3 logos or 5) and possibly text support only option
it as an on off thing with a virtual fader (can be midi assigned)

Ok imagine the Video tab.
you have two "virtual video decks" with a main mix preview deck in the middle. to the right of the right "virtual video deck you have the legend or setup screen and to the right of that grey space. I propose to change the grey space. Ok imagine now a 4th screen to the right of the "right virtual visual deck" then the legend or setup and now "visualizer, logo section, text support.
(I CAN FURTHER EXPLAIN THIS IN GREAT DETAIL AS I HAVE IT DRAWN UP UPON REQUEST.)

2. link sp-6 to video clips ie ur in the mix with xxx has a little visual jingle as well.
My new friend Eloy has this jingle (drop) that has a bomb going off then Dj Eloy and basically it has a video counterpart. He can use the audio in the SP-6 sampler however cannot use the video part unless it is loaded into a virtual deck... I propose a TTM 57sl/ Midi activated Sample player that will not only activate audio samples but a video clip as well.

3. audio/ video linked effects.
Basically idea for echo... freeze desired effect and then repeat it at specified time beat (based on audio parameter) and then with each "echo" either lighten or darken the image.

idea for flanger... as flanger gets higher and higher brighten up the main output and wen it gets full bright say have it strobe or something... u get the idea lmao.

also please simplify the audio effect section of the TTM 57sl please lol. PRETTY PLEASE WIH A CHERRY ON FUCKING TOP LOLOLOL!!!

4. Cd+ g support

Please don't throw oranges at me. As of right now I don't do karoake but I certainly intend to start. It would aid to a large number of more bookings and well in turn higher pay per booking more profits... is it really such a crime to make more money? Help a new comer out lmao.

5. audio/ video splice feature (think poison video, or even mo money mo problems)

Ok if anyone has watched the poison video between the famous intro didididdidiididid dah 3 time s it has a 20 second bs clip of no music before the verse words and beat drop back in i propose a "splice of audio/ video" so i don't have to pre edit

also has two parts in mo money mo problems where the same happens lol

PLEASE HELP!

6. and if at all possible like live feed an input from say an external source say a video camera or a dvd with a photo montage etc.
hey it would definitely be cool to be able to play my swet 16 wedding montages without need of any external hardware and well the camera and live feed was a little bit over the top lmao.

7. hd support-
high definition would be sick lol.

8. more codecs and video formats able to be used in the VSL program.
mostly just karoaoke and HD formats

9. video set recording (both audio and video being saved)
would be very cool once again.

Speaking of too taxing I relly think an apple macpro (desktop) with dual 3.2 ghz processors and 32 gb of ram might still have a hard time working with this system lol...

i had a few general serato things that could be included in like serato 2.0 or 2.1

1. Simplified TTM 57sl audio effects- sure it is a novel concept to be able to control 100% of each perameter and if I was maybe a little more professional I could master them like Konix or other real deal users did but hey can u help a new comer out.

2. Sampler- let the SP-6 sampler be controlled by Serato TTM 57sl b1- b6 make it like group 7 lol or while the sampler tab is open there is a check box that says use 57 controls.

1. The ability to sort the record case by more than one column. I want to sort by Artist and Title. I'm fed up of stripping all the tags other than those two from every tune before copying them to my gig laptop. How long have we had to wait for this one?

2. The ability to re-map buttons on the CDJ-400. I'd like to be able to configure the CUE button to just return to a CUE point, not play from it. Likewise, I'd like to do the same thing with the CALL button. Right now, both buttons cause a split second blip of audio if you press them to return to a CUE point and you have the fader up. That's unacceptable in my eyes.

Browser Preview function

I really want a better way to preview songs in my headphones. I have a library with music from allover the world and they are often sung in different languages. It could be hard to remember a track title if they are in Portugeese, Arabic, Spanish etc. You also have different remixes of a track and you quick want to find that special version. An improved preview function that’s allows me to preview songs in my headphones before loading them into a deck would speed up that process. This could be done from the browser by clicking on a preview icon.

I'd Like to see in the new version

1) with the 6 samplers. Put the same feature as the 2 main decks left and right and importantly to be able to monitor each sampler individually too. So they become like decks.

2) I like what one guy's idea wrote about being capable of using 2 separate loops at the same time.
One thing that i'll add to this great idea is that if you do it, make sure you can monitor the loops so you can listen first if thats the position on the track that you want while the track is playing out. It would be amazing to fly between different loops while the track is still pumping out. Also even better, if there was a possibility that you can have dozens of loops you can make at the same time and be monitored firstly.

3) The sound quality could be improved with the 16-bit / 44.1 kHz sample rate Rane SL 1.

or is there a better quality one that is out that someone can recommend that works with Serato?


Best regards. Thanks.

An option to display the song playing's tag , title or picture on another screen.

this would help especially for radio or club DJ's where people can just look on a screen and know what song is playing.

1.Cue pages (for more cues like 4 pages=20 cue points)
2.Cue notes (plenty of space in that area of screen and would help in a live set on the fly to be able to know the start, verse, chorus ect.)
3.at least a sixth cue point for the 57:)

If I may offer a quick tip:

Try using CUE point color tags to identify parts of the song or specific actions.
Cue "notes" based on color could look like this:

ORANGE CUE: song intro.
RED CUE: Verse.
YELLOW CUE: chorus.

Etc.

More cue points WOULD be beneficial, IMO.

sonolux 12:37 PM - 26 March, 2009
1. read and (optionally) consider the artist-sorting tag when sorting crates by artist; iTunes does it already therefore many libraries on this planet are prepared for that today!

2. proper handling of diacritical signs: currently "Royk" finds "Røyksopp" but "Motor" doesn't find "Motörhead"; very bad: in the crates diacritical signs are all sortet after "z" - inacceptable!

3. when changing the sort criteria or (partly) clearing the search field, keep the currently selected song in the visible area (e. g. in the center) of the track list

1- Smart crates, that auto-update, following a folder.

2- Ability so use (Itune, Mediamonkey ...) Star-Ratings. (This data is in the tag, SSL just has to add it in the tag fields we can add in the columns.

3- Some kind of continuous play, when playing some lounge music at the beginning of the party, so we can load a full album.

1. Split the software in two : one for mixing (without analyze waveforms function) and another for preparing songs "offline". The latter would provide following functions :
a. Analyze waveforms and compute bpm ;
b. Option : "Platinum Notes" function. This would require to create a new file or optionnaly replace the original one.
c. "Mixed in Key" function. The color tag may be automatically filled with camelot wheel color of the track's key. When playing a song in a crate with key info available, highlight tracks in the same crate corresponding to a keycode within one "hour" of the current keycode, to suggest harmonic mixing.

2. Sampler size should be customizable, as it's done in NI Battery. Sampler feature is very cool, but 6 pad is too little.

3. Option : Sum sampler output and SSL mono mic out.

4. Increased max subcrates number.
C. William 1:59 PM - 31 March, 2009
More cue points. Cue point labeling.

Sync button or pitch adjustment on the sampler banks

More accurate bpm info. Like "120.4" instead of just "120".

Third deck.

An interface with better D/A converters.
delta 2:51 PM - 31 March, 2009
some suggestions:

-search multiple crates (pressing strg button)

-higher zoom resolution in waveform (for loops fuckin important)

-export audio option for loops (makin loops in serato is really nice and fast - if reso is higher- and exporting them for ableton, etc. would be dope

-what about a pop up effect (zoom) of the player when performin to have a better view on things-browser takes too much place and when you´re back for searchin the crates it pops back to the normal view

-create a new new interface and go 24 bit and make it usable as normal audio interface like traktor. Make 8 ins and 8 outs add midi in/out(would be nice to send the bpm´s to efx like pioneer 500/1000-bpms have to be more accurate for this), digital out, etc. , because the actual interface sucks and for a marketleader´s piece too simple.

-key mixing option could be added but in my opinion its whack because its one more criteria like bpm and the key says nothing about the amtosphere of the track but for all you suckas out there who don´t have ideas for your mixing go ahead. Also think this way about sync.

-what about an option like building bridges... for example when the track reaches a cue point it automatically goes to another cue point or loop-like makin your own edits for the tracks without goin to sequencers and arrangin it there. You could also say how often loops should play and then playin the next one (like in ni kontakt)

-would be also nice to switch between players and sampler to cut up a sample like with input reverse on one turntable... (routin samples to different outputs) or more decks

-of course more cue points (like 10 cue points/10 loops should be enough)

1a. Edit tag VIA playing track (ie Right Click on playing track) to add a comment about a nice mix for example

1b. In new history tool: use normal colums: i use fields to make "comments", so it would be ease to go back to the songs i already played in history, have the 'comment' field there and make a comment ;)

2. (SSL 1.9) Let us choose how many samplers: my screen is too small for 5

3. 'KEY' also included in Browse and let us choose what is included, as i dont use album, song, artis for example in the browse function (as its much easier to do it by 'search' or 'sort library') the browse function should be something to easily scroll to a lot of data: ie. genre/style, bpm, key...

I wished and was promised to get it soon:...(? i hope)
- automatically adjust all column settings

mixxinmel 1:42 AM - 10 May, 2009
Please add more slots for the sampler 16 more, plus banks maybe 4 or 6 so we can play more samples instead of just the 6 in verion 1.9. That would be Killer and you will rival Kueit. or make and external program sampler like it that will play directly through the SL1 sound card. KILLER!!!

Ha Ha then you would only have to buy something like Kueit and run it from your headphone jack. And you must have at least a 3 channel mixer to do that more wires that can go bad and upgrading your mixer if you are using a 2 channel mixer at the time. Like i said above more sample slots like 16 with up to 4 to 6 banks would be Killer.

Nice suggestion, I used to be the same way when I first started using Serato, but it took some time before I really got a handle and forgot about flipping through the records on the milk crate. It is just a huge difference between the old and the new. Now that I look back, it is an improvement.

Wouldn't mind having that option though.

Hi SSL crew. Here are my feature suggestions/requests:

- Recording from within SSL (for versions 1.9.1+).

- Renaming of files from withing the library (physical renaming of files from within SSL).

- Key detection in the KEY tab (with the options of using standard music keys or the Camelot key system).

- Keyboard shortcuts for pitch bend functions in INT mode. There HAS to be some sort of a '+/-' KEYBOARD assign for pitch bending in internal mode... c'mon guys. Please and thank you. ;)

- Recognition of folder structures that contain subfolders to create subcrates when dragged into the library.

- Pitch 'n Time would also definitely be a useful feature as well, if you can somehow incorporate it as a feature into SSL...

- Add options for simulating ANALOG vinyl sound or DIGITAL CD sound. I noticed that my music sounds WAY too digital and has too many highs on most systems... and it would be nice if SLL had the option to make the output sound a bit less 'crunch' and more 'smooth'.


Cheers!

FireWire 12:04 AM - 8 June, 2009
Oh and lastly - to elaborate a bit on the keyboard shortcut request for pitch bending in INT mode... you can try the following shortcut idea:

>> For the LEFT deck, press and hold the LEFT directional arrow on the keyboard while pressing the UP/DOWN arrows to pitch up or down.

>> For the RIGHT deck, press and hold the RIGHT directional arrow on the keyboard while pressing the UP/DOWN arrows to pitch up or down.

I'm referring to this set of directional arrows on a keyboard:

There already are keyboard shortcuts for pitch bending in Rel/Int modes, and always have been. T and Y for the left deck, G and H for the right deck.

Ah - thanks Konix. And sorry for a misinformed request. I clicked the Help icon in SSL and hoovered over the pitch bend buttons but there was no help available for them, and I just assumed that there were no shortcuts for them either.

And I only have SL1. :( Oh well, I'll just use another program for recording my sets. Not a problem.

And... why should this thread be locked Akeim? The requests that people make, good or bad... is what makes SSL a great real-time application for DJs. The suggestions should never stop coming and such threads should keep on going as long as the projects are going.

I was just using INT mode again and thought that it would be nice to be able to use a shortcut or a key+click combination to reset the pitch adjuster back to 0%. Is there a shortcut for this already? If not, then that's another request.

First off, I have to say that the input from these forums has help to mold a wonderful program in to an even more wonderful program. My hat is off to all of the engineers, developers and marketing folk who take our suggestions and turn them into reality. I have noticed over the years how much SSL has grown and how even in its growth, the support is still top-notch....

So Thank you...



I know its hard to do...(or not) but... a modular interface, (where we can resize the circles and/or library area). Dont get me wrong, I love the circles,and the waveforms, but sometimes I want to turn them off so I dont get lazy, or because I want more library real estate...

Also when BROWSING, It would be nice to hold down CTRL and select more than one item in the columns to narrow down browses.

Color tagging should be more than just the little DOT.. how about the WHOLE LINE?

thx

making recording your set easier for SL1. Maybe, a drop down menu so you can choose your line-in as your input for recording and choose where to save it and what to name it. When the third deck comes with SL3, won't that affect the ability to record, the way you can now with SL3?

Doesn't always pick up? Besides, why would you want to have a file that was ripped of off vinyl and it skips...get rid of it and find a good one. Try www.amazon.com

that helps alot
skinnyguy 8:05 PM - 8 August, 2009
how is the analyzer supposed to know if the "skip" isn't a part of the song? it doesn't check what's recorded. that is left to the person recording on how they want things. it checks for bad encoding. that's almost like asking the analyzer to know the lyrics of a song.

I know it has been said about the more slots for the sampler like 16 total, that way it can be triggered from a Trigger Finger, Akai Mpad, or any midi controler, thus no one will have to go buy kueit and such software as that to play your samples. I was gonna buy kueit but you need to have a mixer with at least three channels to run the sound from kueit back into your mixer via your headphone output of your laptop, which i feel is backwards as F*&K. now if i could use kueit through the SL1 interface sound card that would be off the chain. Keep the music rollin yall.

Within the new beta version of 1.92 when you swithch the sampler's banks while your playing the sample it will cut off, this has to be fixed. As well as the smart crates idea of scaning for new songs as serato starts up, would be nice if you added new music. doing this manualy is a bitch at times,,,, What i do is go to the crate where i have input the new music and highlight everything even the old songs in that crate and it will only put the new songs in and will not duplicte the older files. For now that works for me but still i have to go looking for the folder with the new songs added, and if you forget then that is a pain also LOL.

J.J. 1:46 AM - 6 November, 2009
I agree with you Benjamin. There should be an option to default next loop 'ON' Instead of having to enable it every single time.

Why hasn't Serato added the ability to Jump 4 or 8 bars (seamlessly) with track forwards/backwards. Every other DJ programs offers this basic feature. Scanning forward hurts my ears. You can already scan using vinyl/CD. It would be nice if I could just tap jump forward 4 times in pause mode, and set a cue after the 16 bar intro is finished.

Where is SPLICE (Skip a section seamlessly)?

Why isn't there a button combination to copy either deck to a sampler and continue playing? Currently, the only way to do it in SSL is to use the mouse to drag and drop the deck to the sampler?

^^^^^ i absolutely agree, this is the one and only biggest complaint about taking serato to the club that I and my colleagues have.

^^^^^ do you mean that if 2 computers are connected to one hard drive, both computers will be able to control the one serato?
Eskei83 3:21 PM - 28 November, 2009
no - but the easiest way to do what you wanna do is:
- put your music on a external harddrive
- plug it in to the laptop that's runnin serato scratch live
- your crates, cue-points and loops are automaticly imported by the software (plug and play).
- both of you play with one serato and one laptop and got it's own files, crates, loops, order

and if you unplug your hard drive your crates disappear from the laptop.

i think that's the easiest way to do it with out swapin laptops.

i think there will be installations in the clubs (serato, ttm-mixer, laptop/computer) and djs playing with their files from a harddrive..

for sp6:
1.- beat sync for the sample player (to deck 1 or 2)
2.- 20% pitch range
3.- quick load, one button for load deck 1 or 2 into a sample bank 1-6
4.- save start point for loops, when you quit live, starting points of samples reset to "start"

Others:
1.- Midi clock out & in
2.- 2 decimal BPM display on deck
3.- build one controller for all functions (sampler: triggers, pitch, volume, trigger mode, etc) (Cue 1-5 for each deck) (looper: auto loop 1/4 - 32, in/out, saved loops scrolls, loop on/off)
4.- Ability to send bpm to other computer via wifi (when playing 2 or more djs), send the graphics aids will be great!!!
5.- four Turntable support
6.- beat sync
7.- when building overviews auto detect (and customizable later) the 1.1.1 bar and beat & bar count (like ableton)
8.- off course waiting for ableton and serato joint functionalities
9.- more effects
10 key detection & key change for harmonic mixing
11.- metronome

Tracktor and Torq are a little bit more advance on these topics... serato still rocks, but needs these upgrades

For those of you who also use Pro Tools, and other audio recording programs; Live, Reason etc, you know how useful a visual "grid" is!
I am a longtime Torq user who recently switched to Serato.

There are, of course, benefits and a few disadvantages...
One of which is, as far as i know, Serato does not provide a visible grid line on the waveform showing bars and beats...

I find this tremendously useful for several reasons:
1. Helps with visually lining up tracks for beat matching/time correcting.
2. Enables transitions that start in a section of a song that doesn't have a recognizable
beat. (the grid line shows you where the beat is even if there is no audible beat playing at the time, so long as the song is quantized.)
3. You can visually see if the tempo is correct because the grid matches up with the transients (waveforms).

Please, please consider adding this feature.

A few of you guys have selected greater pitch ranges...
If using an external source, coded vinyl, cd's etc. Then the pitch range is governed by the player, not Serato.
If you're using internal mode, you have limitless pitch range. If you're using a mouse to change the pitch and not the hotkeys, Serato Scratch Live is above your capabilities. use E and R for deck 1, use D and F for deck 2.
Konix 6:32 PM - 12 December, 2009

That's true, however, I'd say most SSL DJs don't want to use Internal mode (kind of defeats the point of vinyl control, right?) and that also doesn't mean it isn't possible to offset the pitch by a certain % or double the timecode speed within the program. I think it's safe to assume most people that use turntables use Technics, and unless you have MK5Gs, you're only limited to +/-8% (unless you mod it, but that's another story).

In other programs, like Traktor Scratch Pro and djDecks and I even think Virtual DJ, it's possible to increase the speed of the song with the internal pitch slider, while still using external timecode control. So you can, for example, pitch the track up to +8% with the internal pitch slider, and still use vinyl control/turntable pitch slider, giving you an effective pitch range of 0% (which would be -8% on your turntable's pitch slider) up to 16% (+8% on turntable's pitch slider).

True but if you are doing this, you are in effect halving the accuracy of your turntable.. I mean if you really wanted to do this, you'd be better off with using a turntable with a greater pitch range, I've always had vestax and wouldn't have this problem as the pitch can be set to +/-100 (if required) as well as normal modes, 3%, 6% and 12%
djdannyd 7:19 PM - 12 December, 2009
Will people really use more than +/- 16% ?? Even +/- 8%?

Only if it's pitch multiplier (timecode multiplier), not pitch offset like I mentioned above. With pitch offset, you keep the same pitch resolution/accuracy of the turntable's pitch slider, you're just offsetting the range.
Henry GQ 2:29 AM - 13 December, 2009
i think the best idea i seen on hereis what some gentleman said and this should be the next idea to go in!

-what about an option like building bridges... for example when the track reaches a cue point it automatically goes to another cue point or loop-like makin your own edits for the tracks without goin to sequencers and arrangin it there. You could also say how often loops should play and then playin the next one (like in ni kontakt)


by far.. the best idea in the last 120 posts! haha

cheers!

That is track splice, which has been suggested several times already.

i'm still thinking about quick scratch buttons, means a short cut for loading samples of the SP6 to a deck (scratch samples).
www.serato.com

step two of this idea would a option called "drop to quickscratch"

when u drop the needle (like drop to cue point) in the last ring of the CV, you load your favourite scratch sample. If you drop back to the first ring of the cv it goes back to the original track.

it works in relative mode ... it works like drop to cue point ... you drop the needle in the first minute track -> drop to cue point 1

you drop the needle in the last minute track -> drop to scratch sample ...

The most important thing is auto beat matching, I don't see a way for Scratch to move on without it, ecpecially now when they have the SP6.
I'm really thinking about buying Traktor, beatmatching is really not interesting for me anymore, I want to focus on multiple tracks, 3 or more. (I'm a techno DJ)

Also about SP6, first thing you can implement is EQ. Gotta have that.
electromagnetic 11:23 PM - 20 December, 2009
1/ an option to transpose key lock, key on a track inside a deck... for flexibility..harmony,liberty

2/ third deck great great great for fun , for creation

3/ sp6 with the warp eleastique pro(zplane.de) like the warp inside ableton live

4/ play samples clips on ableton live with my apc40 and a syncro with scratch live




i love my serato

Dj Phokiss 4:05 PM - 23 December, 2009
What about Individual prepare list on each deck, something like customizing your own records so that when you needle drop, it jumps to the next song for that deck?
Benjamin Gordon 4:09 PM - 23 December, 2009
yea i like that... maybe it could be incorporated into a 'playlist crate' or something?

apart from internal FX my other feature would be:

- 'next loop' turns next loop ON automatically...

...ive suggested it already so im just hitting it at the serato team again...
Dj Madara 4:27 PM - 23 December, 2009
just some details:

_ability to make a backspin while in autoloop function...actually, when autoloop is engaged it's not possible to get away from the bounds with a scratch

_ the cdj 900's "slip mode" would be cool Watchwww.youtube.com
Dj Madara 4:35 PM - 23 December, 2009
must be tricky lol

I'd like to customize the "on song load " feature independently for each track...(so I can choose any cue point for starting)

no - but the easiest way to do what you wanna do is:
- put your music on a external harddrive
- plug it in to the laptop that's runnin serato scratch live
- your crates, cue-points and loops are automaticly imported by the software (plug and play).
- both of you play with one serato and one laptop and got it's own files, crates, loops, order

and if you unplug your hard drive your crates disappear from the laptop.

i think that's the easiest way to do it with out swapin laptops.

i think there will be installations in the clubs (serato, ttm-mixer, laptop/computer) and djs playing with their files from a harddrive..


I have done this. And have had other djs use my computer. But swapping still comes up often. I would rather see them have two usb's on an sl box. I see they have two usb's on the new 68 mixer now, so I imagine it wont be long.... I hope.

2. id like serato to be my all in one tool and would like to see the ability to transfer my new music in serato at 320 with a database source to auto fill the track info and also a track at once feature meaning transfer an hour long mix as one track my one stop stop so to speak put the cd in hit the button auto fill and it makes your MP3s for you in the crates you want to stor them in!!! just a thought!!!

3. SKINS!!! ability to change the look of the serato software i think that would be a cool feature

there are other softwares out there for that, that's not what serato is all about, besides if you get full software functionality on the offline player, expect to pay for it!

I am hearing that 3 decks won't work unless you have an SL 3 with ver 2.0.

Can we please have a 3 deck option for SL 1 Owners?

Much in the same way you can assign the Sampler to L, R, or BOTH outputs, why don't you create a 3rd deck that would be configurable in the same fashion? As far as midi or timecode controlling, I'd imagine being able to hot-swap to the 3rd deck would be an important feature.

Well I'm pretty sure that Serato makes the most money on a pro-rata basis with the hardware manufacturers. How would they possibly earn money if they removed the need of the hardware?
I agree with "djdannyd": If you want something like a full integrated mixing software, there are plenty of "alternatives" to ScratchLive. And - to be honest - they're not even alternatives since they aim a completely different audience.

As we are seeing more and more netbooks/laptops become increasingly smaller and for that matter more and more popular in the DJ world - I would like to suggest variable resolutions - as of now I have a very powerful netbook but am at a loss with Serato as I cannot launch the application even with my highest resolution setting 1024 X 600 ( my fault for not verifying the minimum specs - sad as one of the primary reasons I purchased the netbook was for Serato - I would typically not post however I have seen this request numerous times throughout the forum and thought it necessary to post this request - Thank you for having this open topic and forum and I look forward to your next release !

Short Version :
Variable Resolution -
1024X600 most common resolution for netbooks
800 X 600 Easier to view for others
Any other sizes you may see common out there

Thanks Again !

I would like to see live the effects of gain on the waveform. So if you adjust the gain of a track the waveform will update with more or less head room.

Also It would be really cool to have an option to see the comment section of a track pop up next the deck when it is loaded. Sometimes i like to give myself notes in the comment section like "dont forget to get your second loop ready". It would just be easier to see then looking at the tiny type in the comments in the library.

Also I would LOVE it if when you had SSL on auto play there was gapless playback. So when it changes from track 1 to track 2 there is no pause or skip in between.

thanks
DJBlink 7:01 PM - 4 March, 2010
oh one more thing!
it would be sweet to be able to set a pitch adjustment lock. So I could adjust the pitch of a track in SSL and lock it in that pitch while the turntable is at 0.

for example what if I have a track that I ALWAYS play at +2. It would be awesome to lock that track to always play at +2 when the pitch on your deck is set to 0.

jbunks 1:25 PM - 23 March, 2010
Running time would be good - Mentioned this before.

Playing the whole track surely depends on what type of gig it is? If I'm doing a wedding then absolutely I would, if I'm doing and 18th or 21st birthday then no.
Charile Wilson 2:47 PM - 23 March, 2010
Exactly,

No Brainer really isn't it..
f.L.u.X 1:00 PM - 29 March, 2010
The point of tracking the playlist time is more for getting a basic idea of how long your set is looking.

Lets say you have just got 40 banning new tunes,,, you want to play all of them but the time frame of your set just doesn't make it possible (Sure if you are a table techy then it's your kind of thing, But what if you are into progressive house?) My point is that it is a very simple feature to add and it would make life a lot simpler!

Almost every audio playing software has playlist time tracking!

What if you are at a gig and a manager asks you to fill in for an A.W.O.L dj his set is 1.5 hours and he plays techno, you haven't prepared simply because you didn't know, techno is not your weapon of choice but you do have a couple of daggers in your belt, with this feature you could find your sharpest knives pull them into a crate knowing that it will be enough to full the duration of the set comfortably! Like I said it's a simple feature ,,,, whats the harm!

1) The ability to be able to define my own keyboad shortcuts. With SL2.0 and the SL3 I need to be able to assign controls to load the AUX deck and the censor function for the AUX deck.
I know there is not much room left for more keyboard shortcuts, but I personally dont use anything like all of them! So I would like to replace some controls I dont use. I have no midi controller.

2) Pitch range, as mentioned above, some sort of multiplier .5 up to 2 would be what I have been wanting for my Technics for absolutely YEARS!

A strange dream last night... Internal mixing coming to Serato via Ableton. The audio from Serato gets rewired inside the computer to Ableton and there it goes though frequency splits and effects before coming out through the analog outs of the Serato Box... In the Ableton window I saw 1/1 octave filter with kills for every channel and it had bar displays showing the 1/1 octave levels in real time... Suddenly, I heard the air horn, and I woke me up to put my phone on snooze. Ans,I couldn't figure out the cross fader part. Anyway, I think it's just common sense to see this coming.

The otpion would be nice but the lack of option is what makes SSL so stable, they control the loop completely and can find issues and correct them.

The main reason people will bitch about programs like VDJ crashing is because hardware issues cause them because there are so many variables.
While you may be comfortable setting up external sound cards (I would be too) the problem would be that the number of people that try it and mess it up will then be talking shit on SSL as being unstable. Not good for the reputation.

Classic Vertical Mode in 2.0 for 3 decks !!!!

Pleasey pleasey .... It would make things so easy.

Stacked mode is pretty hard to mix with, at least for someone whose not used to mixing in horizontal mode. I cant mix deck 1 and 3 as easily as I would be able to if is was in vertical mode cuz the mini waveforms inside of the bigger ones aren't together. All three mini-waves shld be grouped together on the left and all three bigger wave forms should be grouped together on the right....In veritcal mode that is.

Well i don't use some of the keyboard functions so it would be amazing to be able to map what function I like to those unused buttons. ie stuff with the third deck, which is what this whole upgrade is about.
Laz219 12:42 AM - 18 April, 2010
The whole upgrade is about completely different things depending on the person, there are a lot of peopole with 0 interest in the third deck.

Would it be better to map the third deck to a MIDI controller anyway? I'd hate to be trying to use the keyboard to control the 3rd deck.
DABBLER OF SMACK 3:01 AM - 18 April, 2010
Some people might not be interested in the third deck but its undeniable that the third deck is defiantly the biggest feature in the upgrade, seen as its the most asked for thing for Serato and is going to be intergral in the way it works with ableton.
So, its seems a 'lil weird that no attempts have been made to intergrate it into the existing hardware everyone uses i.e the keyboard. Yea an external midi controller is the only option without control on the keyboard mapping, which I don't personally think would be too bad because my hand is already there for the other two decks.

I've got a nano Kontrol, which Ive got mapped beautifully for the sample player and sfx but now adding the third deck into it just makes it messy.

Its kind of a shame I cant get everything intergrated into my existing gear or that Rane doesn't offer something in the way of a midi controller for their software. I think it would dominate other controllers because it would or could be intergrated perfectly with the program.

I know the 68 is suppose to take care of that but for people who don't want to spend 3 g's it would be nice for something in between.

Just some thoughts ...

If you want to rearrange your tracks manually, you can only do it after clicking the # column header to sort by number. You can't rearrange tracks if you're sorted by another column, say the BPM column, because then it wouldn't be in numerical (BPM) order, or if sorted by artists, then it wouldn't be in alphabetical order anymore.

But, sure, they could just disable this lock and let you rearrange tracks even if sorted by any column.

Ability to patch effects to effect buttons on cdj400's in native mode and using jog wheels to control fx parameter's........obviously you wouldn't be able to assign all 6 effects to 1 deck, but a cdj lock button that could lock the 3 effects box's to there above corresponding Vdeck would do the trick.......:) !!!

Having to control the FX on screen is a bit of the pain in the butt,,, feels like I'm drawing pics in Paint.....:)

I do actually NEED beat jump, as can be found in traktor. It's often you find you may not have dropped the track at the right time and need to beat jump forward to get the right spot for the perfect mix. Also when you're coming to the end of a track and your mix isn't finished, beat jump back would be very useful!

Whats the point of having a 3rd deck if we have to control some functions with a mouse??? Definitely, 3rd deck should be fully midi mapable.

2. Ability to record from any sound card to connected to the computer. It should be part of the recording source drop-down.

#1 Auto sync - This needs to happen in order to utilize 4 deck mode with the Sixty Eight.
(Don't hate)
At the least, we need some hybrid feature that will allow you to press a button/keyboard command that will sync sources your currently playing to then free up the decks to add even more to the mix. Maybe the user would still need to actually mix the tracks. Once they are mixed, press a sync button and carry on with other tracks.

#2 Update the Keylock feature.

#3 Skip loop feature - Similar to auto looping only you create a loop that will allow you to seamlessly skip that part of the track. You'll no longer need to edit your files outside of SSL.

#4 Smart Loops - Similar to Follow Action in Ableton which would allow you to choose what the track does once its done playing a looped part. ie. Play next loop, play previous loop, play last loop.
Smart Loops could also facilitate automatically turning on effects in certain, looped parts and automating what the effects do inside of a selected, looped section.
Incorporating "Save FX to loop".

#5 Gapless playback when using Auto Play

Can we please stop hating and respect the point of this discussion

I don't PERSONALLY feel the need for autosync (I only have SL1 anyway), but I'm tired of the self-righteous haters who are more concerned with bragging about not wanting it than contributing to the points of others. I personally think the whole album art is stupid, so I simply don't use it.

I want song lengths to be part of tags. Anytime you add a file that already has/had an overview, you have to reload the song or re-build overview. It doesn't happen often, but when you add large numbers of files back into your recordcase, it's kind of a pain; length also helps me weed out doubles a lot of the time.

Also, People who want autosync (I'm NOT one of them) as a substitute for knowing what their doing don't spend this much money on software; they find some sh*&@y shareware or cracked program. If they want to add it to aid with multiple decks, who really cares? I know that I can still mix without it, so it doesn't worry me. It's not like it can know when to mix it/fade it/stop it, etc.

I would love to be able to reverse the flow of the time signal display. As it is, they flow from bottom to top, but my Technics decks' pitch controls (and almost every other deck I've seen) work in the opposite fashion: down (towards you) for faster, up (away from you) for slower. This is counter-intuitive to your hand-eye coordination, and even though I been using Scratch for over two years, I still cannot quite get used to it.

My two euro cents (which is worth like a nickel these days!)
Robert Brito 5:27 PM - 20 May, 2010
wow where to start :)

i cannot tell you how great it would be if the itunes system for managing songs could be wholly imported. It seems like these are very minor (all the major features are taken care of: smart playlists, basic headers)

1-i sort my tunes according to play count, year, and most importantly RATING. Importing those headers into serato truly opens up a world of felxibility especially with large collections

2-Live updates. make immediate changes to the itunes playlist it is reading and vice versa (no restart)

for now :)

Switching hardrives should be like switching record crates. As far as i know every time I plug into someone else's system I can only read my files from the directory tree. It's a major handicap given i go to great lengths to tailor my serato playlists and crates :)

I guess plugging in and out seamlessly not just the music but the entire serato playlists

Could be cool. One thing I miss about vinyl is the ability to read the record just by looking at the grooves. I'd recommend exchanging the white discs on the display for an image of how the mp3 would look if it was on vinyl with the grooves and width representing length etc. Or maybe I just need to get familiar to reading the wave? I cant seem to be able to determine how long a break or intro is, for example, just by looking at the wave.

Already mentioned but please do something about the key lock!

Serato is new to me so I'm still breakin' her in. After closer inspection i noticed the wave overview has minute markers which is a help. They could be a bit more visible though.
DjLogike 5:15 PM - 15 June, 2010
"Track preview" in the browse page would be extremely helpful to know how long is the intro, verse, chorus, breakdown before loading. It would be a time saver to prepare doing creative drops (at loops, vocals, with DJ FX), will also be easy for bringing a track quickly in the mix and taking out, or just bringing a track immediately by dropping at a desired cue point on the fly (not just the first). As Beano mentioned, it is similar to looking at vinyl.

"Skinny guy" Try to understand the request and not to teach ABCD of Serato. If you can't honor don't defame.
skinnyguy 7:59 PM - 15 June, 2010
i'm trying to understand it....i don't see anything i posted as defaming..
Pete Moss 10:37 PM - 15 June, 2010
I kinda have to side w/ skinnyguy. I'm not sure I understand the track preview or the point of it.
MADROIT 1:28 AM - 16 June, 2010
I hate to have a deck slot free just to preview the waveform. So, I like the idea of "Track Waveform Preview in browser". As, Beano mentioned it's like looking at the vinyl grooves, but in the crate. You just need to be little creative to fully understand its potential.
Logike, chill out don't care about the dis... Your request is awesome.

BLACKLIST: end the need for maintaining two libraries

The number one most pressing feature Scratchlive needs is blacklist of media files to not analyze. The blacklist would be an iTunes playlist who’s containing items would be skipped over when Scratchlive analyzes media files and builds their waveforms. Analyzing files is an expensive process that should only be done on files that will actually be used in a DJ set. The argument for skipping analysis of some files is much stronger on computers that don’t have the latest hardware.

As long as the iPod remains the world’s most popular mp3 player, iTunes will not go away and will be the principle way of organizing media in a library. They have a lot of experience supporting a huge customer base with diverse media and requirements that, despite iTunes past transgressions, they’ve become pretty good at library organization.

Even if Scratchlive library organization caught up to iTunes, maintaining two libraries is no fun. However, in an effort to avoid waveform analysis of my numerous non-DJ related media, I’ve come to accept the maintenance of two libraries as a necessary evil. Due to other missing features that I will not bring up at this time to keep focus on blacklists, I chose the libraries I’d maintain to both be iTunes libraries; a main library and a DJ library. The DJ library only contains tracks I would want waveforms for and would actually use in a set. My main library contains music, music videos, movies, video clips, podcasts and other non-music audio. Some of the music and music videos in my main library are already in my DJ library while others, like new tracks, should be. I have to get somewhat familiar with a track before I decide it also belongs my DJ library. More often than not I get familiar with tracks using my iPhone because it’s with me wherever I go. I also sync other non-DJ related media to my iPhone therefore it must be paired with my main library.

Besides the waste of time duplicating effort in each library, in a short amount of time, the main issue with dual maintenance arose time and time again. As with maintaining two of any similar things, very often the one or both will become out of sync with your intentions. And very often you won’t discover it until the worse opportune moment, like at a gig.

I know I'm not the only user needing this feature.
www.scratchlive.net
I'm sure there are plenty others but such posts are difficult to search for. Notice the lack of keywords in that post.

The development effort implementing the blacklisting of files in an iTunes playlist (preferably a smart playlist) would pay huge dividends in time, effort and headache avoidance to end users of Scratchlive. Imagine maintaining just one library.

I like how this thread was started in 2006 \
SO "the next version of scratchlive" was done years ago.

logic - ANY feature request is probably wanted in the NEXT version
so why put it in this thread instead of thread of its own?

This thread has no fucking purpose.

If you make a suggestion in here:
a) it will not getting cataloged
b) doubt the mods look in this long ass mess to figure out what to do next

please lock the thread

I'd love this feature!

doubleclick a track -> and Serato shows up only tracks you previously defined as matching to this specific track.

-> less searching ..
-> less to remember ..
-> more intuitive (than crates)

This would make it much more easy and fast to swich between your sets and genres and to play with the crowd....

Have the option for the 'Alt button' to toggle between 'Loop' and 'Loop Roll' to free up using both hands on the keyboard when using the 'loop roll' function.

i couldn't use 3rd deck since i have only two turntables
so i think it would be a good option if I could play with 2 turntables
and control all decks (all 3).
I would be something like mixing with one turntable using L R switch only
now you could choose what deck to switch!

You should be able to choose WHERE in stack mode the AUX deck goes...

I personally want it at the top of the stack, and it's set on the bottom by default...

It isn't VITAL to me, as i can shift gear around at my house, but on the road, if say a headliner wanted to play on three decks live and they wanted their AUX deck on the left it' would be potentially confusing

2. Key commands to move through the auto-loop function with out using the mouse. - I like using the loops and loop-roll, but don't like having to scroll to the five i like for loop-roll ( 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1) and then scroll back to the five that i like for looping. ( 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8)

Guys, I looked through the summary and a few of these posts - I can't believe no one has mentioned this before, or maybe I missed it in the HUNDREDS of postings there are on this page but...

What about KEY control - many times, when trying to perform a seamless mix, the musical keys of two songs will clash. Since we're using digital files anyways, we should be able to move the key of the song up and down (with master pitch enabled, only) so that if one song is in the key of C and the other is in F-minor (or whatever), we will be able to achieve an extended seamless mix with proper beatmatching AND matching keys!

If you want to rearrange your tracks manually, you can only do it after clicking the # column header to sort by number. You can't rearrange tracks if you're sorted by another column, say the BPM column, because then it wouldn't be in numerical (BPM) order, or if sorted by artists, then it wouldn't be in alphabetical order anymore.

But, sure, they could just disable this lock and let you rearrange tracks even if sorted by any column.


for this its annoying but you can add numbers for your set order in another other tag entry.. like composer or comment or some other tag you dont use much.
The Right One 5:29 PM - 31 August, 2010
Have you ever thought off adding a feature that allows the user to decide what fields he or she wanted to use to priorities the Alphabetical order? For example. I do not like the fact the ALBUM & TRACK # are a higher priority then TITLE. I understand that many people like it this way. But everyone is different. I think it would be a cool feature if you could pick the priority yourself as the user & even select the columns that you don't want to effect the order all. FOR EXAMPLE. I would select BPM #1 ARTIST #2 & TITLE #3 & nothing else. This way, the only thing that would override this is if you clicked on the tab. So if I clicked ALBUM, then it would be ALBUM #1 BPM #2 ARTIST #3 & TITLE #4. If I clicked on TITLE then it would be TITLE #1 BPM #2 ARTIST #3. You get the point. But the user could select the order they like best.. This would be a great options....

Thank You for your time.

"Chronological loops"

Scenario: I have 2 saved loops for a track, in loop banks 1 & 2. However, for the same track I have just created and saved a new loop that is automatically saved in bank 3. The point of this loop in the track is chronologically the second loop for this track.

Then auto sort the loops chronologically into their corresponding banks (like you can with the cue points), so that the new loop I just created resides in bank 2 and the loop that was previously in bank 2, is now in bank 3.

it would be nice if you could choose if loop roll didnt take you out a loop.

sometimes im mixing within a 8 or 16 bar loop and i want to mess about a bit with loop roll... if i do the previous 8 or 16 bar loop is gone!

this would be really helpful!

I apologize if any of these have already been suggested.

1. Cue point labeling

2. Tighter control vinyl.

3. The ability to loop roll and censor at the same time (reverse roll) without losing your place in the track.
DJ Trentino 1:12 AM - 7 October, 2010
One more:

I love how on the 57 you can search for a track, then hit command+F then delete, then turn the track scrolling knob and be taken to that place in your "All" list. Seems that when not on a 57, you have to scroll all the way from the top of your all list after searching for a track. Wish there was a way to keep your place in your "All" list without a 57.
DJ Dub Cowboy 3:09 AM - 7 October, 2010
would love it if you could load a track into a deck and the first cue point was synced to a marker on the control vinyl

oh and if you use drop 2 cue points that it would always put the cue point lined up with the marker on the record.

This is the best idea I've heard in a min. so it would be just like the TT's that have +8 or +16... With software you could even have a +50 & +100 option like you have for internal mode.... Thinking logically, you could only make that work in REL mode. cause the record would still only be spinning at a speed between + or - 8. But this is a hot idea.

+1 Pitch offset
- I imagine it's easy to do and would open up 1200's to a much needed pitch "increase" which would make a lot of people very happy. I so often feel trapped in +/-8% when playing out.

+1 Midi Output
- For the first time since owning SSL I was tempted to switch to Traktor for the simple reason of having an X1 work intuitively.

I want FLAC

Serato will have signed a deal with Apple in order to use ALAC as the ALAC codec is owned by Apple. Apple wants to lock consumers into their world of closed platforms and closed codecs. Apple will have told Serato if they want to use ALAC they are not aloud to implement FLAC. They is why Serato have not said another word about FLAC since ALAC was implemented. (THEY ARE IN BED WITH APPLE)

2- .VOB capability for video sl or at least some way to batch convert .vob files so I can use the 800 gigs of vob files I have before I am 90

PARENT CRATES
Having some sort of a crate that acts only as a folder and where you can put smart crates in. So if you click the parent folder itself you won't see any tracks in the library, only if you select one of the smart crates.
This would make a clearly arranged crate overview and also would minimize the issue that the sorting capabilities of SL are below any software I've ever seen.

IMPROVED KEY LOCK
There were times when key lock in SL was really good. But lately I test lots of different DJ software (free, light, and/or demo versions), including Traktor Pro, RPM, djDecks, Mixxx, and Virtual DJ. SL can't beat any of them and loses big time.

FLAC SUPPORT
Normally there is really no reason to mention this, I guess. For me this will be one of the biggest steps forward that ever has been done to SL. Anyway, I don't see it coming anymore; or better said: I don't have hope that it will.

SYNC POINT between audio and video files in VSL


Yes, this is needed big time. As long as the video is the same speed, You can sink the CLN DIRTY INSTR & ACCA mp3 with the same video & save hard space, but yet have many dif edits of a video. As it stands now, you have to have the exact same amount of WHITE SPACE in the the beginning of all the files for it to line up. A real pain in the A#@!!!

This needs major improvement...

drag video's from one side to the other, like the instant doubles feature. That way when people are using random video's for songs they can continue playing and not have to search for the same video.
Allow album artwork to be dispalyed if a video is not attached.
The sl3 should of had a bypass switch, so if the worst happens people can switch without pressing the the thru button within the software.
Cue points in video's. That way most people would not have to spend hours editing vidoes and trying to sync audio.
Thats just a few of my main one suggestions. I think the sound from the 2.2 Beta is far better overall. It's like ye have given us dj's a wider frequency range to mix with, tracks now sound far nicer. Its like ye have added some compression or reverb effect and got rid of the dead digital sound i have become far too used to. Good work, keep it up. Has anybody else noticed this change?

Forward and Reverse seamless skip by 4,8,16 Bars. Traktor has this and I love it.

Great for:
• Scanning your Track. No need to use a mouse. MIDI assignable
• Emergency End of Track. Skip back 8 Bars and set a loop
• Setting up your CUES. 1st Cue at the first beat, 16 Bar forward and set your 2nd Cue.
• Real-Time Seamless SPLICE serato.com
• Real-Time Remixing. 3X's 1/4 Bar backward and 1X 1/4 Bar forward sounds great. Like a repeater and echo.
• Temporary Loop. Need an extra 16 Beat Loop for a longer mix without setting a loop, simply Skip Back 8 or 16 Bars.

How about adding Location rule to Smart crates! Like we have for the view option in the library? for instance: song AVV located in C:\music\2011\hihop--- have a rule which says anything located in C:\music\2011\hihop will atomatically added to that crate upon start up of scratch live! that way when we edit or add any new music we dont have to sit there Drag into the physical folder and then add to the crate/library in serato. And no i dont use itunes!

- Sampleplayer: Being able to controll each sampleunit in the SP-6 player with your decks. Means that each sampleunit could work as a deck without waveform and you could scratch samples with your deck. People complaining they can't scratch samples in the bridge. This would solve this problem.
- Autosync in sampleplayer and between decks.
-Record loop function
- Quepoints: Snap to beat (mode). Set a quepoint and it will automatically set itself to beginning of the closest beat.

Bridge:

-Being able to load tunes into the bridge via Serato preventing using alt +tab all the time. This also makes it easier for warpin. Now I have to set beatgrids in Serato and then find the same song in Ableton library to set warps there. Only that alone takes 3 minutes.
-Some sort of a timer in the bridge where you can see when a clip ends.
-Turn of the view of all your clips when using the bridge to free more space for library but still see the nudgebuttons+pitch,sync 1 sync 2 buttons.
-One intregrated warping/beatgrid system for ableton and Serato would be nice, but not a must. Library thing is more important.

That way you can still use other tools to hone in on the type of track you want in the search engine and know it's in a mixable range. (It could also automatically choose the last or 2nd to last track loaded as an "auto" bpm or the option of choosing a bpm range.
I just bought Traktor during the sales and they use a little magnifying glass symbol next to all the bpm's in the the search window that when clicked will show bpm range... I miss it.

I agree with others here - allow sorting by MORE than just ARTIST name/BPM... because I set BPM ordering, then it does inside the bpm say 170 bpm, will be ordered then by Artist name..

So tracklists end up being A-Z or Z-A artist names.. i'd rather mix this up and be able to order say by track title, or key, or some other aspect, WHILE STILL being PRIMARILY ordered by BPM. but being 'sub-ordered' too.

Very good argument.
So you say you pay for MIK but have a plugin that includes key detection right into the track overview scan? Nice idea, man. I think it might be even possible to enter the MIK serial right into SL to enable key detection...
But I would actually bet that this will never happen
(a cooperation between Serato & MIK, not key detection at all)

now, I might be mistaken - but I think Sam started this thread to gauge direction users might want it to go (at a certain point) - but that was FIVE FUCKING YEARS ago. The NEXT version would have been 1.5

I promis you that if you suggested some shit in this thread a couple years ago, and they have not built it yet - your suggestion is not going to show up weighing in on how many people want it.

INSTEAD of always being artist a-z or z-a.. drives me insane, hard to use prepare screen cuz so small with 3x decks on 15" laptop screen.. I can't IMAGINE 4x decks view mode with prepare open and this sorting, trying to diversify from ending up with an A-Z artist name tracklist for mixes!!

Or, Z-A.. within each bpm..

So PLEASE allow me to sort by two levels of columns.. or at least a setup screen option to enable this feature.. so I can sort by key & bpm, or artist & genre, or track name & year, etc etc.. this is a big thing for me I've been waiting a long time to post.. but it's my main problem with Serato atm.

And the prepare screen is real imporant for me too.. I am only just starting to use it, but the screen is SOOO cluttered 3x decks mode with all the other stuff.. I just want the main top half, I don't need the folders, or the database list, I just want to see the prepare list I have organised and arranged.. So I can see at least 15+ tunes at a time in it.. so I can perhaps skip ahead if required, if I can't see too far ahead what I'm doing, I don't do things spontenously as much.

I used to use windows explorer to add a new folder of tunes and rename them numerically for sets.. then I tried just changing tags as this was easier, adding numbers before the artist tag.. now, I just use the prepare screen.. but I want it to be bigger!! I don't need the database if I am in the prepare.. just need a shortcut to go between the two, so I can switch out to regular mode as it is presently, if I actually needed to play something OUTSIDE the prepare list.

SUB-sorting option.. click sorting by one column, say key or genre, then by bpm, and it should sort BPM first, then sub-sort within each bpm by key or genre, whichever you selected. INSTEAD of always being artist a-z or z-a.. drives me insane, hard to use prepare screen cuz so small with 3x decks on 15" laptop screen..

The part about ordering A to Z, I agree with. I posted this before.. READ

Have you ever thought off adding a feature that allows the user to decide what fields he or she wanted to use to priorities the Alphabetical order? For example. I do not like the fact the ALBUM & TRACK # are a higher priority then TITLE. I understand that many people like it this way. But everyone is different. I think it would be a cool feature if you could pick the priority yourself as the user & even select the columns that you don't want to effect the order all. FOR EXAMPLE. I would select BPM #1 ARTIST #2 & TITLE #3 & nothing else. This way, the only thing that would override this is if you clicked on the tab. So if I clicked ALBUM, then it would be ALBUM #1 BPM #2 ARTIST #3 & TITLE #4. If I clicked on TITLE then it would be TITLE #1 BPM #2 ARTIST #3. You get the point. But the user could select the order they like best.. This would be a great options....

& Finally about the prepare screen... I also have asked years ago for a simple request, an option for the prepare list to NOT auto remove songs from the list. Here is the reason why I want this option. 1. I use the SHIFT ARROW key to load my music to a player, I don't like to use the mouse, So if I want to rock doubles, But I have loaded the track from prepare. I can't use the SHIFT ARROW, because the song is no longer in the list to select it for use in my second deck. Also When I'm doing radio, sometimes I load an INSTR & then play the SONG, but then I want to go back to the INSTR again to use it to run a sweeper or to talk over. Now I have to research for that TRACK, because its gone. & finally, sometimes I load a song, (lets say TRACK A) to cue it, then decide that I want to play something different (lets say TRACK B) & then jump back to TRACK A later in my mix. Now I have to research for TRACK A, because once again its GONE... I know most people want the TRACKS to auto remove from the prepare list. But can we GET AN OPTION.. "CHECK THIS BOX IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR PREPARE LIST TRACKS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST WHEN LOADED TO THE PLAYER DECKS" I'm looking for something like this. I don't mind going thru my PREPARE LIST and manually deleting the songs that I have played. Its much easier to manually remove them, then to research for them... THIS HAS GOT TO BE A VERY VERY VERY easy option to add...

Still (1) FLAC and (2) kind of flexible tagging scheme for columns and auto crates (e.g. using my own field names).

However, there's no hope, that Serato is going to implement this :-(
Pete Moss 5:20 AM - 23 January, 2011
I think it would be nice if the crates window didn't shrink while running the video screen (a la prepare or history); the video windows aren't that far to the left anyway.

Please allow the compressed track view to show the total length of a song. Right now it either shows time-elapsed or time-left.

ive said it once, ill say it again........location rule in smart crates!!!!! or have a crate Read directly from a directory, i just had to redo all my crates because my crates did not match my music folder(s)! come on guys even mixvibes has this feature and mixvibes is cheap and nowhere near Scratch Live! And no i will not use itunes! :)
serkan 5:55 PM - 27 January, 2011
I think this can be done with a third crate option. Now we have the normal crates and the smart ones.
The third one could be that way that you click on a different color "create crate" button and you get a window where you can choose the directory that you want to link (even ones on an external drive). After you approve the location the new crate will be created and can be renamed.
When starting SL it scans which drives (internal and external) are connected and gives you the crates that are available.

Those "directory crates" could also have the option to be put in a parent folder/crate as it is possible with normal ones (while it's not with smart crates).

I suggest green to be the color of the linked crates :)

auto sync for the sampler
when using regular lps the two or three or four circles read bpm
on 57 on regular lps sync effects on the 57 so you dont have to tap bpm
on sl 3 on your outputs change to phone level out so i can use cdjs and turntables at same time instead of one or other
sl 1 same so you can use cdjs with the older 56 or other mixers

also make sure the mapped Crates Also read the subcrates! that would be sooooooo hot!!!! for example: inside hip hop i have different folders like: (90's) 2000-2010 etc. i would like them to be added the same way when i import them! have serato automatically add them As Subcrates instead of adding them all to that one hiphop crate all in one!!!

yeah its so retarded ... not that important for me but it is a stupid thing.

I'd love to 'deselect loop' things, especially for some remixes etc I only like one part of it.. so now I use 'start' and 'end' cues, I basically just need to be really on ball to make sure doesn't go past final cue.

But yeh better smart crates would be great. I too have genre based folders, but I gave up doing this because so much work to re-add to serato over and over. So if this DID work, I could start organising my files finally again.. it would be great.

I have many many subgenres in one folder. But since it has become too hard to rename/move files now serato database has them ready to play, I just leave my file order super messy and organise just in my Serato database.

So no, for the past few years, all new tunes are in a '~new 10' to '~new 37' folders... not exactly well organised!!

LosMintos 9:18 AM - 14 February, 2011
Quote:

There is a standardized set of RIFF tags you can use for tagging WAVE files. There is also BWF (Broadcast Wave Format) which defines a standard type of WAVE file and a standard type of tags. (But it breaks the format, making the files non-compliant WAVE files, if you just throw ID3 tags into your WAVE files.)

However, FLAC and Vorbis-Comments are far ahead of such limited solutions. Imagine FLAC support *and* support of flexible tagging standards like foobar2000 and others offer. That would give us much for flexibility in organizing (huge) libraries.

(Not to mention, that FLAC requires less disk space than Wave.)

- midi shortcut for action "copy current deck X loop to sp-8 sample 1 (or 2, or 3 ...)"
- midi modifiers (layers)
- midi LED feedback
- more cue points & more loops
- beat slicing (splicing ?) to use drumpads or midi-fighter like devices, where one button = 1 sound / bar / beat / whatever
- ability to modify mappings of "native mode controllers" ie DN-HC1000S channel 1 .. (Shift key could be used for much much more than native mode allows too.. and switching to channel 2-3 each time, than back to channel 1 == time loss !!)
- play audio thru ableton live (rewire ?) == use of live Audio effects + m4l devices on SSL !
- backward playback in the-bridge, while ableton's track is assigned to a deck and controlled by vinyl !
- customizable (drag n drop) UI : a button to "edit" the UI, where you can move and resizer UI elements (decks, library view, crates, cues, loops, ... anything)
- 1024*600 screen resolution support !! (yes, SSL + SL-3 can run on an asus ATOM N270 !)
- more easter eggs :p

Smemtex (AoS) 11:48 PM - 20 February, 2011
I know this would kinda void the Sixty-Eight but...

A new kind of SSL box that just had usb out and MIDI in, that would allow you to piggy back off mixers that already have built in sound cards (eg: DJM 900nexus / Rane MP25 or any thing that's Traktor certified).

-You could have 2x USB in's for easy change over.
-A USB out to connect to the mixers sound card, thus removing the need to connect up RCAs to every input and output on every channel.
-And maybe a MIDI in, for mixers that don't do MIDI back over the same USB that they do audio over (This would allow for full "Mixtape" functionality with "The Bridge").
-It could be in the form of a small box with just the connections, or it could be larger and incorporate a MIDI control surface as well.

I'm sure that someone with find a flaw in this idea (other than it might kill sale of SL mixers for RANE...)
I'm just putting it out there...

I am a long time Scratch Live user,
I also use Numark Cue (virtual dj) for outdoor events when I do not want to bring my coffin outdoors.
Numark Cue recently came out with a new software version, and a feature, I particularly find most attractive.
Within Numark Cue, iTunes Libraries can be read in directly. The same is true for Scratch Live, but Cue’s new software version allows the user to change the location of the iTunes folder.
This is a very great feature for dj’s (smart dj’s) who keep their music library on an external hard drive.
Scratch Live-This is an easy programing change, that would be beneficial to most dj’s including myself.

location mapping for folders anyone?? eg, Hiphop crate linked to Hiphop Folder on physical drive, if u change anything like add or remove songs from the physical drive the changes appear in SSL automatically! in crates and subcrates, this would really be a life saver! and the only option that SSL is missing!!!!!!!!!!! (imho) i mean having to put the song into the physcal drive and then having to drag them into the software is a bit of a hastle for someone like me that i play everything including latin etc....... so when new house hiphop merengue etc come out thats more than one folder that has to be readded! SERATOOOO HELPPPPP!!! yes i know im getting annoying but hey can u blame me?

i was thinking it'd be nice if you could set serato in internal mode by double clicking and typing values into things like the pitch, bpm and time marker position in a way that's similar to production software, would possibly make a valuable difference for people playing very short tracks who don't have much time to make pitch adjustments manually or maybe even make it so that you could program individual tracks to play at specific speeds by default so they are automatically set to a predetermined pitch upon loading

when in auto mode, serato follows the 'prepare' list before any other playlists. tick boxes next to each playlist can be set to direct serato to the next list of songs to be played automatically.

This should be a seperate mode in the options section, where it can be enabled or disabled (if you want the songs in the prepare list to stay).

- Full Track Playlist Times for crates (say, 20/30 tracks in a crate = 85mins etc.)
- Better support for external drives, where iTunes holds the info and tracks.
(Library and crates dissapear too much and it's not reliable - which seems to be due to external storage..)
- Better support for Apple Lossless m4a files. Theres no Key (after MIK) written in the column and when entered manually there not stored after a refresh due to corrupt library.
- More Cue points and the ability to name them.
- A touch up on the GUI - especially the white writing for time, bpm etc - sometimes difficult to quickly glance at in night/club conditions - so maybe a choice of colours..?

Spot on! The iTunes issue is a BIG issue and needs to be sorted. I've once had to re-analyse about 1000 songs before the start of an event. If it hadn't have been for the spare vinyl I had to start off with, I would have had silence at the beginning of an event! NOT GOOD.

FLAC SUPPORT FOR GODS SAKE!

and also, a tagging system for comments similar to how the delicious bookmarks button for firefox works:

have a meta-tagging system to replace or complement the comment field. That way I tag tunes with multiple tags and search based on multiple tags too. For example, if I was to tag the a live version of the song 'Stairway to Heaven' by Led Zeppelin I would use the tags:

<blues rock> <metal> <live> <slow intro> <guitar solo> <epic>

Then when you were searching for a tune to start a blues rock mix you might do the following search:

<blues rock> (1,283 hits)
<blues rock> <slow intro> (156 hits)
<blues rock> <slow intro> <epic> (9 hits)

With ITCH 2.0 I think there will be less and less differences between SSL and ITCH so this feature (which is a lot a work for Serato team) is useless in my opinion
serkan 9:50 PM - 15 June, 2011
A thought could be something like a "Scratch Live Plug-in" for ITCH.
The thing is that Rane has the exclusive rights for SL-Hardware.
A possibility could be a dongle by Rane but the price would be too high to have a chance I guess.

Vicious Vibes 12:18 AM - 19 June, 2011
imo i think i would go back to vinyl im still buying it neways and its still widely used in my music sector... DJin used to be for people who put the effort in to learning how to do it.. now anyone can pick up a pair of decks and mix (to some kind of standard) auto sync has closed a gap... which in my opionion should never have been closed.. if people wanted to dj before they had to put the effort in and train there ears to the job they wanted... so my point was for that reason is why the pros still choose serato over any other DVS (as a whole) if that feature got brought in i think you would find that the pros would go back to the old ways... i cant see the likes of hype... deekline&wizard, and many more useing a program to the job they get paid and recongized for...

serkan 7:35 PM - 19 June, 2011
I see your point.
And I don't want to discuss something which had been discussed over and over again.
But on the other hand I still want to point out some things that can't be denied.
- DJing is not about syncing beats anymore. It was in the 80s and 90s where everyone could be a DJ if they knew how to beatmatch. Now there are thousands of us out there and it's more about creativity, understanding the music, understanding the crowd, act with the crowd. Matching beat doesn't mean that much anymore.
- I switched to a DVS because vinyl is almost not being produced anymore in the most electronic music genres. Today it's like: Digital or nothing.
- Since then I bought thousands (literally!) of digital tracks which (btw) are even cheaper, allowing me to buy more music than ever before. If I would switch back to regular vinyl I had to pay a fortune for the same amount of music and would loose the catalog of my purchased tracks during the last 4 years.
- If sync (in any way) comes to Scratch Live at any given time I bet that you will be able to turn it off. But I can see me using it even if I didn't. My decision to get SL instead of any other DVS was it's reliability, it's support, it's great GUI, and the awesomeness of free updates :)

There is actually no way to know IF and WHEN an automatic sync option will be available in SL ever.
We don't know anything and time will tell.
Onekickmusic 12:01 AM - 20 June, 2011
I'm new here, but surely if you enjoy using serato without the sync feature, why would you not just continue to use it but just don't use the sync feature?
And also people did have to put the effort in, but that didn't mean it was better musically, DJ'ing isn't about you, its about what other people hear, and when someone spends time putting together a mix rather than learning how to beatmatch, they may (if the same effort goes in) make a far better mix than the person who learnt classically and spent their time beatmatching.
(BTW I can beatmatch by ear etc. and recently bought traktor [and don't use the sync] but I see no issue in progression to just software for some people if it means that mixes are produced to a higher quality than before.)

And as a suggestion for serato I feel that an upgraded version of serato (for a fee) which worked hardware free, would allow for people who don't own hardware to become accustomed with the UI and use it in clubs without having to buy a soundcard that they can't afford.

So mixing with the internal sound card in a club?
With a mouse?
VirtualDJ style? ;)
And: If someone works in clubs he should save the money he earned to buy a decent audio interface.

It's your suggestion and I'll need to respect it but I never see this happen.
Onekickmusic 5:30 PM - 20 June, 2011
I didn't phrase that very well last night as I was drunk, but where I'm coming from is, I own traktor, but would rather use serato in a club if they have that already set up (as it is industry standard) but I can't learn my way around it to prepare to use it, with the current software. I mean I personally could probably ask around and get someone on here to teach me where everything is and how to get it setup to use in a club, but my instant reaction when I found out that I couldn't use serato hardware free was to just give up on it and stick with traktor, because I sure as hell wasn't going to go into a club and use serato without knowing how EVERYTHING worked and how it's configured on my laptop for that environment.

I suggested in another thread just a flash(etc.) based game or whatever that lets you play with the UI as if it were set up with two CD decks or vinyl decks. Wouldn't cost much to employ someone to create this as a one off thing for the site or as something that comes packaged with the free software.
Pete Moss 8:17 PM - 20 June, 2011
Even if autosync were introduced, what makes you guys think people would automatically know how to use it properly? the lame DJs who would use it still wouldn't know when to start a song at the right time or know how long to mix out, or many of the other intangibles beyond beatmatching; the notion that we would pack up and move elsewhere is almost comical. Even with autosync, a good DJ wouldn't use it; and would still outperform someone who did use it. The idea that you can be a DJ with no other skill than beatmatching is almost insulting.
WarpNote 11:45 PM - 20 June, 2011
Onekickmusic, I put in a few options for you in that other thread of yours. -> serato.com
Basically a dummy software wouldnt really serve its purpose, as most problems people have is related to error in hardware setup (ie grounding, dusty/worn needles, worn out control vinyl). No way in H£LL would a dummy software prepare you for the real thing... learning the actual software layout is the easy part... and if you already spin in traktor, you'll work it ALL out in less than one hour... (if you read the manual along...)

NO! Just NO! That's lazy and if it takes you too long to quick mix a "very short track" you're doing it wrong. Practice your trade, that's what sets us apart from those VDJ wannabe dj's who wouldn't know whether to play a vinyl or lay it on their floor.

1) Auto Sync new folders and tracks
2) Rating system in Serato (1-5 stars) that can also read Itunes ratings
3) Better crates & smart crates management.
4) Mixed In Key built into Serato
5) Autofill feature for different fields (Genre, Grouping, Album, etc)

I love Scratch Live and have no desire to switch to anything else but I keep hearing that the best and safest way to edit tracks is directly in Scratch Live. I completely disagree with that, it might be the safest way but it is definitely not the best and not very efficient. For example: in Itunes you can make playlist folders, smart playlists, playlists, rate your tracks. You can make a group and Itunes will remember what ever you put in that grouping field for future tracks. Genre also has the autofill feature. Basically if Serato could some how incorporate the key features in Itunes, there would not be anymore Itunes discussion in this forum.

I think they should fix the bpm reading when you analize a track. i spin hiphop mostly between 60 - 85 bpm, but with the slower stuff 55 - 70 bpm it sometimes it displays the bpm at double time even with the range button off. I just like it better when its the correct bpm and its easier to recognize a track at 64 bpm track rather than 128 bpm. it seems to do that with dubstep on my friends library. dubstep is not 140 bpm, its 70 bpm because its the drum beat that declares the bpm. (i dont play dubstep so if this is incorrect i apologize but it seems more logical this way) I wonder whats causing the bpm counter to output it at double time?

good point...but I doubt if they used programmers for marketing...From 1st hand experience, these talented guys work extremely hard and are always looking to "improve" and add features to the software. They don't just sit on there asses waiting until we "bitch". they love the forum and constructive feedback to help them see what people want in general and what they realistically can implement ,or improve, and that is worth development time and resources. That is why DJ intro makes since....Open your product up to entry level DJ's, and cash in on a "new" market. Serato making more money is a good thing for us also because they can then justify allotting more resource to "upgrades"....

What i would do (not sure if you have done it already tho) is start a thread and ask people to add there names to the list who want this "splice" feature. this would "show" Serato how many customers REALLY want this...
LJ_WOOLSEY 9:57 AM - 3 October, 2011
Serato dj intro is FREE and works on controllers that have been around awhile serato makes no money from this. They only do when the customer upgrades to ITCH or SSL. as itch and ssl hardware has an extra cost added to it for the software. I went to the BPM show this weekend and it was a controller fest! That all it was about controllers and there was traktor, vdj on them all. But a few also had dj intro, itch and ssl was seen much. The serato stand was shit very basic rane 68 and two techs and two cdj2000s and some bord fedup looking staff. There wasnt even any free stuff on display even the bags you could help ya self to were empty. Iv been for 3years now and thats worst iv known the serato stand. Traktor stand was busy and best stand was VDJ!!! lol apart from that is was controller heven lol and i didnt see video sl anywhere or even a poster for it so that just shows how dead that is.
skinnyguy 9:22 PM - 3 October, 2011
doubt they used programmers for marketing, but it's still resources...

splice has been asked for repeatedly for quite some time. there already is a thread for it. heck, if they can make online editing like that video clip about The One can, that would be super sweet....but that's probably what The Bridge is for....splice would just be a bit simpler, really.

mapping of crates to directory! example on HDD u have D:\music\hip-hop\90s set it and forget it! adding songs to the directory will automatically add the song to SSL upon opening!! it sucks having to download\Rip a track throw it in the folder on the HDD then open ssl and throw into ssl!! sometimes i do so many tracks for so many genres i lose track of what tracks i add! it would be nice to know that i have the crate mapped to the physical directory!

I'd like Mercedes features on my hyaundai....oh wait, I should've had bought the right car...

Most if not all of the features I've seen requested really sound like the guys should own traktor. It has alllllll the featuressssszzzz. But it's a heavy program. well over 500mb.
Serato is around 50mb. Size counts guys, but maybe not in the way you may think.
That small number represents all the missing features, and all of the strengths, of serato.
(CPU, stability, latency) Serato IS serato bc all it does basically is allow you to use decks with a computer. Anything else they leave up to Ableton I suppose. Not everyone has it but not my problem.
I own both. I switched bc of the bridge and now pushing an SL 4.
The only way I see Serato "Scratch" grow is by furthering this type of connection.
It's 2011. Quit whining about auto sync. It already has it if just for ableton, which makes NO SENSE. Make it global. Djing isn't about two channels anymore. If you're a progressive MIX and BLEND Dj you're using 4 decks with samples, one hits, loops and effects looping it all and rinse-repeat.
That can be done with traktor, or serato and ableton. Since I just put down a wad of cash that could of purchased a used car, I'm hoping Serato grows outward, not stay to a confined (this program shouldn't do this) attitude. No limits. Djing is already commercial. You are not special bc you play other people's music. Anyone with a computer and 150$ can get an itch intro controller and call themselves a Dj. I don't even bring being a Dj up in conversation with people I don't know anymore, just to avoid that look "oh, another Dj"
to stick to the OP

1. Improved Bridge connection, features, and 192 supported.
2. Guys, update the view screen, please. Only one way to see more than 2 decks?
Looking to the future? Wait it's here. 8:)
Every other suggestion I can come up with is already implemented in Traktor.

My contribution to this thread in suggestions and discussion were years ago, and my exact argument criticizing this thread are also buried up in it.

Which illustrates my point - good ideas are set in the grave of this thread un indexed and forgotten.

Its much better to add on to threads with headings or start new threads with new ideas.

That's terrible that all this has gone to waste.
They have the option to love threads. If they're not going to pay attn: to us then they should take it down. I saw when the thread was created and since people were still posting I thought it might be different. I've always heard great things about Rane cust svc.

i know it's a long shot but i would like to see a bit of a different product structure. let me explain:

for now the basic concept of SSL is the app, some rane box and timecode players (vinyl, cd, midi).
the basic concept of ITCH is the app and some midi controller. no rane box tho because many units already have a soundcard included.

maybe you can see already where this is going; what i would like to see is a merge of SSL and ITCH! which would be something like SSL with night/day mode for example BUT without forcing the user to have a rane box. the vinyl users would still need one and others probably as well but you would also have the option to use it without one but with any devices that come with a soundcard included already.
it should still be limited to certain devices so all the good things of more or less proprietary systems would live on.
Will Love 1:45 PM - 14 October, 2011
serato / intro/ itch are free programs.

they make their money selling/licensing the hardware, not software.

they’re expanding, maybe not in the way you mentioned (like Traktor, one version will work on a controller, cds, vinyl, or just your computers keyboard)
but now with INTRO in the works they’re already aiming at the small controller market.
theres more money in diversity I’m afraid.

I was told that this thread is dead. you might want to start another….

-1...

I'm not so sure it would be so easy to make this "super application" stable,
a lot of factors comes into play.

It would mean native support for an ever growing number of:
> Controllers: Numark NS7, V7, NS6, Vestax VCI, A&H DX, Pioneer S1, Denon DN-HC4500, Novation Twitch...
> Soundcards: SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4 ...
> Mixers: MP4, TTM57SL, Sixty Eight...
> Sub Midi Controllers: Denon HC1000S, Novation Dicer, Vestax VFX-1, Numark NSFX...
> Decks: Pioneer CDJ350, CDJ400, CDJ850, CDJ900, CDJ2000

Not to mention all the low end controllers out there...

My guess is that all of these factors would add up to some very chunky code, and a far less snappy experience. (No, I'm not a programmer)

And not to mention all the users who will try to connect several devices all at once, just because they own them... Then they will be crying about why the cannot run 2 channels on their NS7, another 2 on the 57, yet another 3 on a SL3 box, while rocking VSL and the Bridge all the same time using 1 computer....

I think Serato's current strategy makes a lot of sense for now, Id rather have them work on stability than those crazy combos mentioned above. An old argument in this forum has been that you just don't add a ton of features to race car, as it then no longer is a race car. I believe this analogy holds true for SSL as well...
R-A-C 6:22 PM - 14 October, 2011
oh no, that came out wrong. i wouldn't wanna super-SSL be one overloaded uber-app but only have a few but major things changed/added.

that would neither jeopardize the way they earn the money nor would it make the resulting app bloated or overloaded.

Well, merging the 2 would mean a MAJOR rewrite, not just a few things changed.
And IMO just that: overloaded....
R-A-C 4:01 PM - 15 October, 2011
okay, let me rephrase once more :-P
by 'merging' i meant adding what ITCH has over SSL for now. of course i don't know how different the code of both is but given the many things that appear the same it's not that we're talking about two totally different products here.

bottom line: SSL +night/day mode, -forced rane, +itch hardware > only one product to support and develop instead of two and more stuff and more flexibility for the customers.

again, it's just what i thought of after looking at both for a while. i don't wanna see just another traktor or vdj but SSL and ITCH are so similar do they have to be separate apps?
and there would still be DJIntro as entry level product.

Well, I can tell you that SSL is far less stable than it used to be. Version 1.7.4, 1.8.3 & 1.9.2 was lighter than todays 2.3.1. As an application grows in size, memory print & cpu load, the less stable it will become. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out...


Listen, SSL without Rane hardware is not an option.
Rane has an exclusive license with Serato, I'm not guessing here...

i see.

don't get me wrong i like SSL and ITCH very much and since i don't use vinyl anymore i'm perfectly fine with ITCH. even more so thanks to the day mode.
i just noticed that for non-vinyl/timecode cd users SSL is not so attractive because of the additional soundcard (rane) the customer has to buy no matter if his decks have soundcards included or not.

night/day mode, different layouts and yes sync :-P (don't wanna start a sync-pride war, just listing the different features)

and maybe most important the direct (non-rane) use of those controllers which have a soundcard included. now that's where the licence stuff comes in again but my suggestion was not to do that tomorrow or next week but maybe at some time in the future.

i like the serato apps very much but in the long run i see problems with the current product/licensing model. that's why i threw in that suggestion ...

SSL have different layout's too... I don't think night mode and sync is good arguments for a TOTAL rewrite... And, yes, Rane has an exclusive license with Serato concerning SSL.

why major? how can you know?
and how can you know the cpu load you noticed (i never had cpu issues btw) is caused by those things i suggested?

sorry but this leads nowhere. we have made out points and the rest is up to serato.
WarpNote 4:06 PM - 16 October, 2011
Serato spent about 2 years before releasing itch 2.0, and they spent about 1 year implementing native support for the new Pio CDJ's in SSL. I'd say thats pretty major....

CPU load goes as this:
SSL = quite low
Itch = higher
Traktor = even higher
General rule of thumb, higher loads makes a program more likely to crash/hang...

Ok let me clear up about my "-1". I'm not against having support for more controllers in SSL per se, but I DO think they need to prioritize. Regaining stability, ironing out the new bugs + rework VSL is far more important at this stage IMO.

there could be a number of reasons for that. it could for example be something totally different that led to the delay.
as mentioned above going on like that is pointless because we just don't know serato internals.

Quote:

oh no doubt about that. the key is to choose the right ones and not losing customers is a damn good one i'd say. that's the very reason for the idea i posted.

so one last time my suggestion; not for tomorrow and not for the next week but maybe at some point in the future:
- no forced rane for controllers with internal soundcards
- night/day mode
- layouts of both
- sync

of which the first point is the most important. i don't see customers buy a rane box if their controller has sound already. great for vinyl and timecode cds but not for the rest.
AKIEM 8:05 PM - 16 October, 2011
- Rane has exclusive rights to make SSL hardware. Thats never going to happen until that contract runs out (whenever that is)

- SSL has four layouts. Maybe it needs another?

- Sure a night/day mode would be handy, but its not the only option.

- Ive already said books about why sync should be left out of SSL

Im talking about Control Signal vs MIDI signal (whatever they call that special double midi signal)

remember midi was not originally designed to transfer plater movement, just on/off note stuff. Getting it to work with a plater is more recent, there is a lot of information being transmitted.

Two different systems at the heart of each program. My guess is that putting them both in the same program would be less then elegant, probably even ugly. And yes I know 'other software' does it. That other software is younger and designed for it from the beginning - SSL isnt.

Well, the point is this is educated "guessing", you know that Akiem was the first one to actually rebuild a 56 with an SL1 inside? (this was before the 57 was released) He also modded 1200s to feature built in MIDI... (long before anyone even thought of the dicers.)

Your request was voiced long before Itch was even released, yet they did actually that, released Itch. Don't you think they would do what they thought would be the best solution possible for their customers?

From a technical point of view, i don't know why hybrid mode is not so deployed in SSL, this garantees best of Serato features, analog signals thru audio interface and command signals thru usb port...so it would be great to have powered usb hub with 2/4 ports integrated in rane hardware.
Last request to Rane: Please make a usb stick or adaptor to open SSL to others sound cards !!! I would pay the price for it! Because i would love to use a the Pioneer Djm T1 ( or djm 900, Denon X1700...etc in clubs) in SSL instead of waiting for a so expected ttm 58sl or bringing a SL box in clubs!!!

I am experiencing 3 different glitches at the moment. I stayed with SSL even when others started to compete for my biz, mainly cause it was always the most stable. Now its full of glitches & has crash on me 3 times at gigs within the last year!!! This never happened in the first 5 to 6 years that I used SSL. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just fix the glitches starting with this one right here: serato.com
Dj Ace 5:52 AM - 18 October, 2011

The Right One 5:45 PM - 18 October, 2011
I've Tried 2.2.0, 2.2.2, 2.3.0 & 2.3.1 I'm getting the same glitch on all versions. I'm thinking it has to do with the NEW 57 driver that was installed when I installed 2.3. Now even tho I go back wards its still using the same new DRIVER. I really don't want to back any farther then I have tried to & I really don't think its gonna help anyway. Serato put out a new DRIVER for the 57 cause the 57 did not work with the new MacBooks. I really think this new driver fixed one problem & created another issue!!!! I'm not even using the newest MacBook Pro. I'm using 1 version older then that, so I wish I could just roll back to the older driver. Just not sure how to do that. Bottom line, is that this is a very silly glitch and I noticed something was wrong the first time I booted up 2.3... What are there beta testers doing over there & how does this slip by them. I can truly understand why alot of there glitches get missed. But not one beta tester noticed that the Levels where different than every version they used before 2.3? Not one beta tester noticed that the levels where inconsistent? One day they where quiet & the next day loud? REALLY.... Like I said I noticed the first time I used this version that something was wrong. & then it took me a week or two to pin point primarily where the issue came from. I understand this in a beta version. I don't understand it in a final release. All I'm saying is DJs use this software cause it always works.. And always works correctly. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, get back to that.. This Gain issue is extremely unprofessional & made me look unprofessional for the last few weeks because of it... I'm not the average college DJ, that does not care what his mix sounds like. I do this for a living...

I'm intrigued by this suggestion.

Are you saying you want a 'smart crate' that basically represents the folder/directory hierarchy on your harddrive, so that if you add a file to the directory, then your crate updates?

The good thing about the way Serato does crates is that tracks can be added to multiple crates without you having to have multiple copies of that track on your harddrive.

That being said, your suggestion is a good one for quickly creating a crate structure. I think you may want to do a search for "Scratch Tools" made by a user called nik39, which I think is able to create crates based on your folder/directory structure.

That would make sense; crates for smart crates. Obviously a smart crate wouldn't be able to child crates or smart crates though.

We try and stay away from the filesystem metaphor though, because we want the idea of sourcing the audio from anywhere. Perhaps one day we could have a crate with tracks that are streaming sources from the internet.

We could, but we try and keep the gui as simple as possible.

There are other aspects that make this difficult to implement in a short period of time though, which I won't go into, but basically it would be good (from a dev point of view) to fix/change those things first before we start dabbling with more cue points.

More cue points is one of the most common feature requests and it makes little sense to limit the number to so few, but like I said, there are lots of things we really need to change first to make sure this gets done right.

It's not simple. The library database is there to optimise things such as searches. When doing a search for data, we can't open and parse the meta data of every single audio/video file on your harddrive as it would be ridiculously slow.

Is there a particular field that you want us to add to the database/track view?

Would people mind if this data was only saved to the database and not the file itself? It gets to a point where there is quite a bit of data and a lot of those tags don't formally exist in a lot of file types. iTunes tends to use a lot of their own custom tags, but for a file format such as .flac or .mp3, these fields don't exist. If they do, they're incredibly inconsistent across audio apps.

For example, initial key doesn't formally exist for flac, mpeg4 seems to use iTune's way of doing it. So for flac, do we call the tag INITIALKEY, INITIAL_KEY or INITIAL KEY or something totally different.

See the dilemma?
serkan 9:47 PM - 9 January, 2012
Use all three :)
Or just the one in iTunes.
If there is no standard = create one ;)
LosMintos 10:13 AM - 10 January, 2012
Quote:

I really see it (but at the end it's not as bad as all that).

There's a recommendation for vorbis comments (used by FLAC and Ogg-Vorbis), a small proposal only. www.xiph.org Some people try to extend this, reallylongword.org. And there are discussions about standards in the community, e.g. www.hydrogenaudio.org, wiki.hydrogenaudio.org, www.hydrogenaudio.org
Unfortunately, those recommendations are subject to change (foobar recently changed it's default settings from ALBUM ARTIST to ALBUMARTIST to reach more compatibility with other software. Via option it's still possible to live with the older field name.) Here, wiki.xiph.org, you find for example Replaygain, which is a standard, but not used by Serato ;-) AFAIK.

That's why, I like it, when the software allows me to use any field. Foobar does, it's my prime example how to use tags. And the search is incredibly fast (with 100 000 FLACs in database).

Quote:

As said, there are many recommendations and a minimal standard (at least for Vorbis-Comments).

At the end, we have to accept limited compatibility with other software. IMHO you should try to follow a standard if present (ARTIST, ALBUM, GENRE, many more) and in the other cases use semantic names and try to set up a standard (KEY ...).

To avoid any confusion, you might give some special fields a prefix: SERATO_FIELD. Something like that ... There would be no access with incompatible/limited software or devices (Squeezebox ...) but experienced users can use "good" software (foobar, MP3Tag) and read/write also this fields.

Quote:
Would people mind if this data was only saved to the database and not the file itself?
I would accept a global option in the program, that the user can decide:
[ ] store overview, cuepoints, everything else ... in the file
[ ] store these stuff in database (leave the files untouched)

I really like it, to have everything in the file, because it makes backup easy and I can plug my external hard drive to another DJ's laptop and start playing music (easy with scratch live today). Moreover, I can read/write the tags with other software. There are other advantages for the second option. Choice would be great. If I have to decide, I chose to keep the data in the file.

Quote:
So for flac, do we call the tag INITIALKEY, INITIAL_KEY or INITIAL KEY or something totally different.
One of the first three options. Do you know about Rapid Evolution? According to Wikipedia they support FLAC and OGG. Where do they store the key?

However, as BPM I think also STYLE and RATING are widely used standard tag fields. Please, at least, support STYLE (if we see FLAC at all).

Prepare Window options in setup. Just a few tweaks in the setup menu that allow you to change the functions and not lose tracks when you didn't really play them through.

My main issue is that I will frequently load a track from the prep window and discover that it doesn't work they way I planned, or that I'm not ready to play it, or it reminded me of a song that will work better. Then I need to first reload the track to the prepare list (so I don't lose it or forget about it) then load the new track. Maybe a tab in the setup that lets you tweak prep window options? Like a dial that you can adjust for percentage of the song that needs to play before the track will dissapear from the prep window (so you can still preview).

I'm not interested in skins or customisation from a user POV either, just a improvement/integration taken from serato intro which already caters for stability and ease of use as a piece of DJ software .

I feel the turquoise colour, square buttons/highlighted deck boxes, full width beat view, improved volume meter for the sample drops etc etc etc would be a refreshing improvement that would breath more life into scratch live and if anything make it more easy to see in a club environment.

****** Key detection.
****** Internet sourced audio tagging (more info here: stackoverflow.com)

* Rename files based on tags.


* Export crates to .m3u, .csv or some other format.-> What does this mean?
***** Allow user scripts to do mass modifications to data. (Umm, will we need an undo).

Library Structure
*
* Nested smart crates (i.e. child smart crate has content from all ancestor smart crates). -> maybe
* Track 'linking'. The ability to state that certain tracks work well with some other track (at the DJ's discretion). Perhaps we can do work on some kind of 'smart linking.
* Sync/Map a crate to a folder or folder hierarchy on a internal or external drive. This would be a form of smart crate or smart crate hierarchy. -> possibly
* Remember what iTunes playlists have been expanded/collapsed.

Library Display/Info
***** Track play count.
*
* Track 'star' ratings.
* Multi-labelling a track (i.e. gmail labels or web 2.0 style tag clouds). -> whats this?
*
*
*
***More crate metadata, i.e. Info about a crate. -> what do u have in mind?
****** Be able to switch between camelot key notation and standard key notation. -> good with me
* The track color label could/should colour the entire row (i48.photobucket.com) -> make an option only... I like the color dot system.

Searching/sorting
****** Duplicate track detection. -> most excited ever!!!!
* Sort by non video associated audio files. -> very excited
***** Search for audio files with missing associated videos. -> very excited!!... ALSO find mp3s with no mp4 with similar file tag n crate possibly- HELPFUL TO SEE WHAT VIDEOS WE NEED TO GET
**** Sort criteria based on multiple columns. This will act as the 'secondary' or 'tertiary' search criteria. (GUI wise, this could be achieved by shift+clicking the columns in the order of the search) -> like it
*
**** Be able to reveal what crates the selected track(s) is/are located in, either by crate highlighting or some other means. -> "control + C"
**** Be able to search for tracks that have (or don't have) cue points/loops
* Be able to search for tracks that haven't been analysed yet.
* Be able to multi-select crates and have the track view populate according to the contents of the selected crates. More power user features are described here: serato.com
* Be able to save a search criteria/string as a smart crate.
*
**** Harmonic Key sorting should be done chromatically, not alphabetically.

MY ORIGINAL IDEAS:

1. AUDIO/ VIDEO SCANNER...
A Tool that will scan all your audio files, and by a "tag word search/ analysis" determine which audio files you do/ do NOT have videos for...
Output results as a file which maybe printed/ copy and pasted etc
ALSO offer a check box function once added

2. DUPLICATE DETECTION
A Tool in which by percentage of like words in the entire tag will group tracks together... then also incorporate a way to get rid of unwanted tracks...

3. ALBUM ART DETECTION
INTERNET BASED SEARCH WITHIN THE SERATO COMMUNITY DATABASE, GOOGLE< DISCOCOGS ETC.
<HAVE AN IDEA>

4. TAGGING/ RENAMING

<HAVE AN IDEA, for an internet based search to fill in certain tags, etc>

vice versa for me... cuz i edit all my file names when downloading and then run them through media rage or media monkey to fill in the proper tags.

this would be most ideal as an option during the analysis process.

also alot of the feature DJ's on this thread are listing can be incorporated into "right click" menus to save space on the GUI

Tagging, Websources, Tag and Rename and the like are easily available using free third party software, so IMHO such features are not needed very urgent. What would really help are more flexible columns, smart crates and search/filter expressions.

(And I'm still waiting for FLAC ...).
deepdjdanny 5:28 PM - 6 March, 2012
Would very much appreciate that that 'serato (brown/orange/red/yellow/tan)' selection highlight to also show what part of the library you're working from or searching from. Using laptop LCD screens, the selection is only just a lighter shade of grey: which has blended with the horizontally striped background. I can't easily see if i'm in 'ALL' or what crate without physically moving my eyes/head up/down to the side. I'd actually prefer it if the crates were coloured & more like MIDI triggerable side Tabs & their lists of contents like square framed balloons that are attached to the side TABs.
The highlight would then just be a border frame around the list encompassing it's TAB.

theedjrisk 8:12 AM - 1 April, 2012
First off I love SL Period. I don't know if any one else made these suggestions but here's my 2 cents.

1) If you sort by BPM and lets say you are looking at tracks at 128, then you search for a song.
After you close the search it brings the view to the top of the list instead of bringing you back to the 128 area you were at previously. Then you have to scroll back down to where you were. It would be handy if brought you back to the track the focus was on before you searched.

2) In Serato video you removed the box under the player where you add a video to an mp3. You now have to click the video button and expand the plugin then drag in the video you want to play then close the plugin. It's just annoying because it added a few extra steps for no reason.
I keep the video plugin minimized because I have a video monitor in my booth and I don't need to see it on my laptop screen.

3) The new video transitions are sweet! Please add a random transition option.

Yep, seems like this could potentially save quite a bit of drive space/bandwidth. Of course would depend on proper editing/authoring...I'm reasonably sure at least one of the video services would be up to the task :-).

Rane Sixty Eight

1. Better soft, and responsive buttons all around
2. Magnetic Channel Faders with adjustable tension and INDIVIDUAL Contour Curve Control
3. Center the Channel Strips- Right now they r off center and it bothers the shit out of me
4. 3 Band EQ for the mic channels
5. More LEDs in the PFL Meters- Right now its a bit hard to 'fine tune' Instead of the 7 LEDs/ Channel (5 Green, 2 Yellow, 1 Red) make it 15 LEDs/ Channel (10 Green, 4 Yellow, 1 Red)... STILL KEEP CURRENT IDIOT PROOF WONDERFUL GAIN STRUCTURE, Just add the LEDS
6. Better More Intuitive Effects- Be able to lock out parameters we will never use such as 1/2 beat flanger ( I personally would only leave 8 or 16 beat flangers available maybe a 4 beat one if that. same goes with phasers etc.
7. Better Sounding Effects engines- Filters to sound as good as A&H, Flanger to sound better than PIO, etc.
8. More Effects- Pio has 13 on Board, why do we only have 6... I really want to know.... I don't want to ever rely on computer taxing software effects ever, and we should out do the competition
9. Sound Color Effects- Expand on the channel filter and offer a bit crusher and the other 2 pio effects
10. bring Back mixtape
11. Ability to route the SP6 Sampler to the 'Main' Output = Post fader perhaps even? EX. route to ch. 1,2,3,4, CF A, CF B, SESSION IN, MIC 1, MIC 2, MAIN

This will perfect the Mixer in my eyes, Its already starting off dope, just looks and feels a bit rushed and now has stiff competition with the pio 850, 900
I would pay $2800 for this mixer for sure, $3200 if they call it the rane 69 (immature plug)

Serato (as a program)
1. Ability to go back to the old GUI (one with round PFL in Program Meters- this is 3/4 the reason I never wanted to upgrade past 1.9.2)
2. Stability I heard after 2.0 stability became a problem- this is no bueno and hurt consumer and long time customer confidence
3. Ability to turn off features we don't want (think this is possible already- just hope even with them turned off they don't tax on system performance)
4. Off line library management plug in (duplicate detection, mixed in key, play count detector, album art finder, auto tagging, audio vs video library scanner~ tool that sees if u played an audio track with no video of a similar name in library and crates it, etc. got 99 thousand ideas) $150/ plug in value
5. multi column sorting EX- SORT primarily and 1st by BPM, Then by Key, Then By user preference (artist alphabetical order, genre, track length, whatever)
6. many more but I am tired... but basically make sure us with large (over 2 TB libraries) still can use it with so so macbook Pros

2. Have a user tutorial program that explains ableton and serato and just really like an idiot proof crash course available online $350/ person value



1. Mixtape is back since 2.4.1
2. A tutorial was made by msyself, check out the Bridge Forum here, and the tutorial is still growing & freeware!


My suggestions:

1. For The Bridge: Allow to move / copy / delete Audio Clips in your Scratch Live window!

2. For SSL: I want a "Loop-Lock" Mode. When its activated the loop cant be removed with the loop roll from the dicers. Just a single button like the Keylock button. This would be really awesome!

thanks I wish... I have amazing ideas if they would listen to me... I have the benefit of being unemployed and willing to travel to New Zealand to help in the development of my favorite program ever...

I am willing to spend up to $10,000- $15,000 on hardware (laptop, extra hard drives, dj ish) to beta test and an additional $3,500 in travel expenses

I recently took a trip to Jamaica to play some shows and noticed a cool method I started using- In Reggae your often mixing "riddim sets" tracks on the same instrumental- so some DJs there make headers in between each riddim by bringing a song in off their hard drive , then deleting it so it comes up as missing giving it a red color- they then re-label the track and use it as a divider. makes everything look really neat and tidy- its kind of a pain to do it the way I described above so I was thinking it would be great if Scratch Live made this an option- add header or divider and it would just add a blank track space that you could color and customize yourself. here is a pic of an example!

WHoah dude I been looking for a way to do that for years!!! Leave it up to the Jamaicans to figure it out!!! HAAAA!

I posted a post about this. What I do is create MP3's with scratch sounds, instrumentals or other "tools" which I rename to have "-----------------------------------------------------------" on the title and more "----------------------------------------------" on the artist. Or you can so a simple "1.)" on the title and then leave the rest blank, etc. I call them "spacers" and I can add them freely anywhere I want.

The only problem is that since SSL does not allow DUPLICATES you have to create a BUNCH of spacers to suit cases where you have VERY LONG playlists or sets.

It would all be so much easier if SSL would allow the option to toggle duplicates ON/OFF in serato. I realize many people find duplicates undesirable, so it would be awesome for us to have a choice!

Thanks Zeke!

WOW that needs to go into the request thread like 1000 times over.

the default pitch range setting in HID mode on the CDJ 2000
is +/- 16%.
I'd like to see it changed to +/- 10%. a much more popular pitch range.
(or even +/- 6%)

also it would be nice to be able to run key lock on the 2000's when
using timecodes. as it stands things get funky when turning on key lock.
DJ Macsd 10:26 PM - 9 May, 2012
How about you have album , artists, bpb etc

how about add in Plays

Meaning how many times you have played the track. Would be nice to see how many times i play a track each month , year.
Marv Incredible 1:22 AM - 10 May, 2012
^^ I think I read that a play count was on the staff wishlist too, so we might not have to wait too long.

'Loop Lock' is a much simpler way of describing what I wrote about in another thread. Cheers Razy.

One ('another') thing I want is to be able to select 'crate' as an option in the colums, in the same way I can choose location or filename etc. I know it's not an ID3 field, but I'm sure the Serato team could code this if you wanted to.

When you're searching for tracks and they show up in results, there's no way of knowing which crate they're in, unless you happen to know already. I know this would be difficult if a track was in more than one crate, so maybe list the number of crates it appears in? Or some mix of the two?

Failing that, if someone can suggest a workaround, I'd appreciate it.

I just read your discussion in the link.
Sorry for my lame joke. I see you have some serious MP4 problems.
Hope you resolve ASAP
Dj Blaze 7:03 AM - 15 May, 2012
Its all good Dj Unique!!! I actually had to go back to 2.3.1 (23103). the problem was 67 corrupt .mp4's, but for some reason 2.3.1 could handle these files unlike 2.4.1. After I identified and removed the corrupted .mp4's 2.4.1 worked fine...at least so far ;)

This has been very frustrating especially when playing in front of a live crowd...I only expect a final release to work just as strong as past release's. I'm still not done trying to make 2.4.1 happy...been working on this now since last thursday and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

djchrischip 5:07 PM - 15 May, 2012
ur welcome... now let's save serato...

Rane Sixty Eight

1. Better soft, and responsive buttons all around
2. Magnetic Channel Faders with adjustable tension and INDIVIDUAL Contour Curve Control
3. Center the Channel Strips- Right now they r off center and it bothers the shit out of me
4. 3 Band EQ for the mic channels
5. More LEDs in the PFL Meters- Right now its a bit hard to 'fine tune' Instead of the 7 LEDs/ Channel (5 Green, 2 Yellow, 1 Red) make it 15 LEDs/ Channel (10 Green, 4 Yellow, 1 Red)... STILL KEEP CURRENT IDIOT PROOF WONDERFUL GAIN STRUCTURE, Just add the LEDS
6. Better More Intuitive Effects- Be able to lock out parameters we will never use such as 1/2 beat flanger ( I personally would only leave 8 or 16 beat flangers available maybe a 4 beat one if that. same goes with phasers etc.
7. Better Sounding Effects engines- Filters to sound as good as A&H, Flanger to sound better than PIO, etc.
8. More Effects- Pio has 13 on Board, why do we only have 6... I really want to know.... I don't want to ever rely on computer taxing software effects ever, and we should out do the competition
9. Sound Color Effects- Expand on the channel filter and offer a bit crusher and the other 2 pio effects
10. bring Back mixtape
11. Ability to route the SP6 Sampler to the 'Main' Output = Post fader perhaps even? EX. route to ch. 1,2,3,4, CF A, CF B, SESSION IN, MIC 1, MIC 2, MAIN

This will perfect the Mixer in my eyes, Its already starting off dope, just looks and feels a bit rushed and now has stiff competition with the pio 850, 900
I would pay $2800 for this mixer for sure, $3200 if they call it the rane 69 (immature plug)

Serato (as a program)
1. Ability to go back to the old GUI (one with round PFL in Program Meters- this is 3/4 the reason I never wanted to upgrade past 1.9.2)
2. Stability I heard after 2.0 stability became a problem- this is no bueno and hurt consumer and long time customer confidence
3. Ability to turn off features we don't want (think this is possible already- just hope even with them turned off they don't tax on system performance)
4. Off line library management plug in (duplicate detection, mixed in key, play count detector, album art finder, auto tagging, audio vs video library scanner~ tool that sees if u played an audio track with no video of a similar name in library and crates it, etc. got 99 thousand ideas) $150/ plug in value
5. multi column sorting EX- SORT primarily and 1st by BPM, Then by Key, Then By user preference (artist alphabetical order, genre, track length, whatever)
6. many more but I am tired... but basically make sure us with large (over 2 TB libraries) still can use it with so so macbook Pros

Video
1. Take the best features of VSL that everyone liked, combine them with the best features of Mix Emergency and then put them together and try and get them to run right


Bridge
1. Bring back Mixtape
2. Have a user tutorial program that explains ableton and serato and just really like an idiot proof crash course available online $350/ person value


Utilities
* Key detection.
* Internet sourced audio tagging (more info here: stackoverflow.com)

* Rename files based on tags.
* Mass removal of video/effect association to audio files.

* Export crates to .m3u, .csv or some other format.-> What does this mean?
* Allow user scripts to do mass modifications to data. (Umm, will we need an undo).

Library Structure
*
* Nested smart crates (i.e. child smart crate has content from all ancestor smart crates). -> maybe
* Track 'linking'. The ability to state that certain tracks work well with some other track (at the DJ's discretion). Perhaps we can do work on some kind of 'smart linking.
* Sync/Map a crate to a folder or folder hierarchy on a internal or external drive. This would be a form of smart crate or smart crate hierarchy. -> possibly
* Remember what iTunes playlists have been expanded/collapsed.

Library Display/Info
* Track play count.
*
* Track 'star' ratings.
* Multi-labelling a track (i.e. gmail labels or web 2.0 style tag clouds). -> whats this?
*
*
*
* More crate metadata, i.e. Info about a crate. -> what do u have in mind?
* Be able to switch between camelot key notation and standard key notation. -> good with me
* The track color label could/should colour the entire row (i48.photobucket.com) -> make an option only... I like the color dot system.

Searching/sorting
* Duplicate track detection. -> most excited ever!!!!
* Sort by non video associated audio files. -> very excited
* Search for audio files with missing associated videos. -> very excited!!... ALSO find mp3s with no mp4 with similar file tag n crate possibly
* Sort criteria based on multiple columns. This will act as the 'secondary' or 'tertiary' search criteria. (GUI wise, this could be achieved by shift+clicking the columns in the order of the search) -> like it
*
* Be able to reveal what crates the selected track(s) is/are located in, either by crate highlighting or some other means. -> "control + C"
* Be able to search for tracks that have (or don't have) cue points/loops
* Be able to search for tracks that haven't been analysed yet.
* Be able to multi-select crates and have the track view populate according to the contents of the selected crates. More power user features are described here: serato.com
* Be able to save a search criteria/string as a smart crate.
*
* Harmonic Key sorting should be done chromatically, not alphabetically.

MY ORIGINAL IDEAS:

1. AUDIO/ VIDEO SCANNER...
A Tool that will scan all your audio files, and by a "tag word search/ analysis" determine which audio files you do/ do NOT have videos for...
Output results as a file which maybe printed/ copy and pasted etc
ALSO offer a check box function once added

2. DUPLICATE DETECTION
A Tool in which by percentage of like words in the entire tag will group tracks together... then also incorporate a way to get rid of unwanted tracks...

[i]

3. ALBUM ART DETECTION
INTERNET BASED SEARCH WITHIN THE SERATO COMMUNITY DATABASE, GOOGLE< DISCOCOGS ETC.
<HAVE AN IDEA>

4. TAGGING/ RENAMING
<FOR STEVIE O>
<HAVE AN IDEA, for an internet based search to fill in certain tags, etc>

5. KEY DETECTION

I'd like to have the ability to save a crate and move the crate's (list of contents) between computers with the ease of a flash/thumb drive.
ex. HOST club in NYC has Serato Live, they have the same library of music you always use but more, however, your crate has the music that you want for that set only. You load crate to their unit and a smart scan is activated to find all the records on the HDD that matches your crate's contents. You also do this in Las Vegas. They have the same music on their HDD, but you only want to look at what you have in your crate for ease, you do the same as you did in NYC.

Smarter Smart Crates

Midi Out

Tiger4life 3:01 AM - 31 May, 2012
1-The relocate lost files is a failure itself so they need to reprogram that feature and make it smarter.Even though you drag the specific crate to the option tab it keeps searching elsewhere wasting your valuable time.
2-Ability to assign a third virtual deck and The Bridge to the USB Aux of the Sixty-Two.We can only assign the SP-6 sample player so far to the USB Aux in the Settings.That will open possibilities for DJs to beatmatch 3 songs for a smoother transition just like it's standard with the SL-3.
3-Vinyl control assignment for the SP-6 sample player the exact same way we control the virtual decks using just 1 CDJ or turntable.That would give us the ultimate capability to drop loops and acapellas on the fly while keeping precise beatmatching or even correct slippage or drift using pitch nudge/bend manually.This is important since Serato shut their ears on adding sync to the sample decks just like they do for Itch.
4-Ability to drag and drop audio files from Serato to Ableton within Scratch Live while using The Bridge.That will give DJs a weapon of choice for creative mixing.
5-Ability to play multiple samples from different banks at the same time.It doesn't make sense that a loop I have running during a mashup or remix will stop as soon as I switch the bank to drop my DJ name.
6-We're still missing the video effect that DJs really want for their logo.They can either add a feature "multiple files association" that works the same way as the clip art feature where we can just select all the audio files in the library and drag the video file to the feature window.That option will consume valuable time due to the fact that we have to update all the audio files everytime we add songs to the library.If we can just select a video file just like the image and set it up as an effect in the Serato Video Setup screen that would be awesome.Our DJ video logo would be running on the Output screen throughout the whole gig when we're playing audio files and switch to video when we have video files running.

Thanks for the comment.The reason I do this is because I love music and take what I do seriously.If we don't think for those people we'll end up restraining ourselves as DJs in general.We'll just sit out here watching other DJs doing crazy things while we can do a better job if we have the options we need.We bust the ideas, they listen and put them to work and we're happy to have the capabilities to perform like we should.For me it's not a big deal it's just we love music and we appreciate what we do.

All the above have used most of these features on other dj's software and its real helpful.
Plus a "Last Played" column which would tell you the last time you played that song helps when you are doing a 6-8 hour set and you don't want to have to scroll thru the history (which only tells you if you have played it) as sometimes you have to repeat the big bangas but not sure what time you played it last.

When playing a playlist in Auto mode, would love to have the ability to crossfade in and out of songs automatically. Also, to be able to adjust the crossfade length.
BOOGIEFROMCUR 5:40 AM - 9 August, 2012
Yo DJ Naz are you referring to the stand alone mode in Scratch live as "auto" mode? Do you mean when the RANE SL box is NOT connected? Is your request for "training" purposes to check how a "blend" would basically sound when performed "live" OR is this for "live" applications?
First of all in this forum "scratch live" such feature does not exist in the software AND probably most people forget the "live" behind the name...the standalone mode is not for live performances, just to check, rename, tweak and basically prepare your tracks for when you have the live performance later..
Second (in case you meant for "live" performances), I think you have to get yourself some other other software that basically mixes for you such as mixmeister software, tractor, virtual dj and such in which you really can have your crossfades programmed automatically or with tweaks...(with other words have the software do your technical related job). Remember I am NOT talking about the ability to program the songs, read the crowd and other abilities a good deejay should have...
Needless to say the more "tricks" the software does for you (during live situations) , the less "respected" you will be (by connoisseurs) as a technically "able" deejay although lately most of us see a trend in professionally marketed "producers" who suddenly call them selves "dj's" that "act" busy with the knobs (including the ooh so fake "I'm working so hard tweaking those knobs" moves...) but basically don't do nothing other than blend intros and outros (of their own tracks) that are so rocksteady pre-programmed that even a well trained german shepherd could basically do that trick...because nowadays thats probably easier than becoming a seeing eye dog... I guess...

Most likely DJ_Naz wants an adjustable cross-fade mode for Dinner time type of playlists that don't require beat-syncing. This would be helpful when the DJ needs to do other stuff during that time (i.e. prepare items, eat, bathroom, etc.).
This was requested a long time ago.

Good point and YES... it's clear to me, that's why I asked if it was for "live" applications...I know that most dj's want a software solution that takes care of everything that will their dj life easier but then I suggest (in this case) just using a specific program that does that well ..If that's what he needs (NOT playing live himself) there should be plenty of other options out there ...
JUST BELIEVE ME...If Rane makes that magic new and improved SL box that at each hour interval automatically brews me a strong italian espresso with some brown sugar BUT meanwhile keeping all my 4 tracks from different genres in sync "tempo wise", "key adjusted wise", with a automatic "dance-floor mood display" built in WITH INCLUDING OFF COURSE that futuristic special option of a "hormone stimulus LED readout"...you know the one that tells you exactly how much your music is pushing the hormones on the dance floor to the max HELL YEAH ..I'll be happy too, but still it would be for "live" applications. You hear me RANE?
Related to all this.. There are so many other "automated" DJ soft ware programs out there. They are even threatening club dj's jobs because certain managers think that "preprogrammed" non stop mixes can do the job the whole night. I sincerely hope that Serato will spend its research time in developing and perfecting issues that benefit the DJ"s that really work the crowd (not so much the DJ that leave it up to the computer to do their job). You will notice that I acknowledged Tigerforlife and DJChrischip for their comments..Why? Because their feedback can make the product better in quality meanwhile the community will not loose respect for dj's.
You have to be careful though...Every time you walk away from the dj booth leaving it up to the computer to do your job there is some wise ass thinking I can do that too and if he happens to be the one that "pays" and he finds out he can "program" that software to the same level as any top dj (you...) you will loose your job..just think about that.

Better key lock/pitch control. I would pay $$ for it.

Now I could see this being an issue for Serato because of Pitch n Time. Not wanting to cannibalize their own product (assuming it is selling at a reasonable pace), I could see why they haven't updated this feature.

So.

With that concept in mind, WHAT IF Serato made a scaled down version of PnT specifically as a Serato plugin and sold it for a nominal fee?

I can imagine the user base for such a plugin would be pretty huge, and although people would definitely bitch about paying for it, I for one would pay $50 to get a plugin for SSL that would give excellent quality pitch bending and time shifting.

TBH this seems like a win-win here.

apricotandpearjam 11:18 AM - 24 August, 2012
a feature im sure everyone would love, taking inspiration from traktor is sample decks which can resample loops from playing decks.

id love to see this but with some added love from serato.

wouldnt it be cool if you could sample fx, beat rolls and even live scratching into a sample deck and then load a new track onto the decks and keep mixing.

it would open up some HUGE creative possibilities.

what do y'all think?

If there is one feature that is sorely missing,

it is DELAY COMPENSATION for Serato Video (which I never use but purchased Video SL when it was compatable with 57SL only.

Seriously it's amazing I see guys running Serato Video with out-of-sync video ALL THE TIME !! It looks TERRIBLE !! Even the BEST TV's have about 100ms latency in them, not to mention any other matrixes, etc.

I run typically between 60-70ms delay because I use Mix Emergency.

All it is is a simple offset to push the video forward from the music in order to compensate for the delay in processing of the video system in the club.

Why Serato Video doesn't have such a simple and important feature like this is beyond me. There can be no good reason.

Also fellow DJ's please sign this petition to bring back LIVEFEED.

I had an idea last night.
I play on cdjs in hid mode. and i find i'm always switching the time display on the deck. When a track starts i want it to count up from zero, but when i'm getting to the end i want it counting down.

So my feature request is:
A setting so that the time display counts up to half way into the song then at half way reverses and starts to count down.

BOOGIEFROMCUR 5:55 PM - 15 October, 2012
I dont know "how" but if it is possible to make a software "plug in" that would give you a filterbank (for example using "sherman" filterbank technology) that could be mappped from your mixer (usb to midi out , most pro mixers etc have this) so your "spare" channel eq knobs could become filter knobs that would work on any serato music coming in from the box.
With other words on a pioneer 900 nexus mixer: my music on the decks and channels 1, 2 and 3 would use "normal" hardware eq's on the mixer but on channel 4 you could connect the "aux" and have the sampler (z,x,c,v,b,n laptop keys) AND the software serato controlled filter bank for any sound coming out of serato. So any time you turn those EQ knobs they function as a huge filterbank for anything coming out of serato IN ADDITION to the pioneer effects.
WarpNote 6:04 PM - 15 October, 2012
Just turn on superknob "one knob filter" in the FX tab.... turn on for any/all channels, map whatever physical knob you like. Now layer the serato software filter with the pioneer hardware filter.
BOOGIEFROMCUR 6:26 PM - 15 October, 2012
@ warpnote ..I know that..but thats not the way I like it, I meant to have the same filter functionality as in the sherman filterbank ready to go as in a "a sherman filterbank" plug-in...

However, might be an issue if djs don't clear their history?
Ie unable to put green tracks into prepare?

My workaround for now is to first drag the track from the deck back into prepare if I decide not to play it yet, then load another track to the deck... Been doing this for the last 3 years now, so pretty much second nature at this point..
Marv Incredible 6:25 PM - 27 October, 2012
Good tip. And good point about not being able to put green tracks into the prepare crate. I've never even noticed that, as I clear my history each time I finish with or open up SSL.

I might try your workaround out for myself, though my own solution has simply been to create my own 'prepare' crate and put my tracks in that.

Logically speaking the prepare window is intended for a list of tracks you have intent to play.If you load a track in the prepare list on one of the virtual decks that simply means you intend to play the track.That's why it's been removed.

There are 2 Major things to me that belong into the next SL Update:

1. The ability to sync the SP-6 Sampler to a selected Deck!

2. A better Keylock Algorythm.

I guess the Algorythm is a hard nut to fix, but the SP-6 SYNC is already done for Itch.
Whats the point on not giving this feature to the SL users?

As far as i see, the SL users are the foundation for Serato's succes on the DJ sector.
Shouldn't they get at least equal features than the Itch user gets right away? #IMJUSTSAYIN
BOOGIEFROMCUR 3:13 PM - 8 November, 2012
I would not mind if :
(A) in the future serato would evolve into ONE package that could be used on ANY controller or hardware configuration that supports serato (I play on all types) and depending on the capability of the serato endorsed hardware you would then have more sample buttons, looping etc . So any time any I would fire up my laptop I open ONE program (with the plugins that you can buy) and that fits all configurations.
(B) Serato could include in their own software package a simple "plug-in" editor (preferably based on the Sony Soundforge platform), that way you could stay in your Serato (not "live") program while doing edits, renaming and extensive batch processing. I would gladly pay for that as long if it is stable and runs smoothly with serato.
(C) They could come up with more and other "size" of configurations for the Rane SL boxes (much flatter and smaller) but dont ask me how...maybe a Serato laptop docking bay that lays under the laptop so I have less shit in my booth. The problem is usually the three pairs of rca cables and the two USB cables (HID mode) that have to be routed to the box and laptop and they are all scattered around when I play in booths that are not intended for laptop placement.
(D) a better sounding key lock/pitch control. They MUST be able to do that with the knowledge they have with the pitch n time software.

I know there is an Auto Play in SSL but this function is useless.
Because there is no fade of 10 or 20 seconds. I think this should be possible with the next update.

At the moment when I play at the club. I have to run VDJ at the beginning for the first hour and then i start with SSL my set. Yes there are many MixTapes out there but an MixTape is always the same and I don't want always the same in my sets.

So pease!!!

New izotope fx and new sample decks.
It'd be great if it just evolves into serato dj, following suit of NI Traktor. But Serato is making too much money with them being separate.
I have a 900.00 sound card (SL4) and the new pioneer dj chrome iPod is 999.99 running serato dj. There's no way the card in the pioneer is of equal quality.
Why obvious additions like the effects and the sample players are kept from the core users of this company's product is ridiculous.
Unless they shape up I'll be selling a mint condition SL4 with box and all here before Christmas.

2. midi out
3. sample/record yourself direct to sp6 slot
4. sp6 sync would be handy

Transpose?
I've personally never found it useful.
It's always sounded better to mix in a proper key then bend a tune up or down, but maybe I'm used to pioneers transpose. Not very useful for key correction IMHO.

This thread is turning into a feature list of Serato DJ

A "Go to crate option" after typing a song name in the "search"

Ok!! Say i search for a song after pressing "Ctrl+f" . when that song comes up, i would love there be a option for me to click on that song or right click and see a option there for me to go to that particular crate that the song is in!!! Would make serato way bettter!!!!!
DiverseEnt 11:32 AM - 30 November, 2012
I would love for ScratchLive to give you the option to choose how you would like to sort the songs in a crate once a column has been highlighted.

EXAMPLE:
When I am in a crate and choose to sort the songs in BPM order, it puts the song in BPM order followed by alphabetical order by ARTIST. (It does the same thing when you choose to sort the songs in SONG TITLE order as well)

I would like for the program to give you the option of how you want the songs to be put in order after you highlight a specific column.

If that is not possible, I would be satisfied if they changed the current order flow to be SONG TITLE secondary.

EXAMPLE:
If I am in a crate and choose to sort the songs in BPM order, it would put the song in BPM order followed by alphabetical order by SONG instead of ARTIST.

This would be extremely helpful for a Dancehall Reggae DJ like myself. Reason being.................... Most dancehall reggae music is played in groups of "riddims". At any given time you could have a crate with about 18 songs on the same "riddim" and about 20+ "riddims" with the same BPM. In order for you to have all songs in a specific "riddim" listed together you would need for the SONG column to be next column filed after BPM is highlighted (granted the file is tagged properly by having the "riddim" name before the actual song name in the SONG TITLE tag)

If I didn't make myself clear and you would like for me to explain further, please feel free to contact me @ 516-717-7227 or 516-539-2109

Thanks

Really don't know that it's even worth posting suggestions in this thread any more but here goes: (and this goes for Serato DJ too).

When I mutiple-select a bunch of files, I'd like the following data to be displayed in the ample space along the bottom of the screen (i.e. the status/process bar that comes alive when the program is reading or writing tags).

1) Number of files selected
2) Total time length of those files

There are probably more very useful data that don't come to mind right now. I'm posting this as I'm thinking it, not after having considered it for some time, but these two would not only be very useful, they must be well within the development teams ability to implement because even I've managed to do this before in my own apps.

Thanks

Yaccob's comment: It would be nice to be able to right click on a song that leads you to the crate from which it evolves. In other words, since the crate usually leads you to a particular song, let's make that happen in the reverse process.

Beat regards to all.

Dear Sam

So many comments to scan through...

Basically a Serato DJ type interface:
Depending on what gigs and where i'm playing i either use SL1 or currently itch on a vci300 & vfx or VCI380... so having a similar interface & integration would be very useful
(i though DJ was going to be an Upgrade of Serato Scratch Live - i was slightly confused it was only for Controllers as most of us would love to see more cue points in Serato if nothing else.

More Cue Points as per Itch/DJ (but with the abilitly to reorder them like in SL) Still not sure why can't drag cue point around to different slots in Itch???

Better & More effects
(BPM Search)
Maybe slip mode (but thats a can of worms right there, as it would mean having a sync option - but that would eliminate when the turntables are knackered in a club and not holding pitch (or at least i think it would))

Many thanks
Fibonacci 6:45 PM - 23 December, 2012
I'm new to all this but am well pleased with Serato and feel the product is amazing value for money, but if you want my 3 suggestions for what would make me happy here goes.

1. A Custom Cue Points & Loops Library:

Any Cues and loops can be Saved,Named & Placed into Standard Library Create allowing us to save them and giving us the ability to have as many Loops and Cues as our wee hearts desire all ready and waiting for use visually seeing our own custom Loops & Cues can only be good for creativity.

2. Better Custom Creates:

Smart Creates are very very helpful and using them has been essential for me building and sorting my various library's, but why cant I put these Smart Creates within a normal create set-up allowing me to build Smart Create Library's.

If this is a problem allow us to use Smart Creates as filters allowing us to copy entire contents of Smart Create into a separate Normal Sub Create Library of our choice,simply by drag and drop, This allows us the option to update normal creates info from a smart create of our choice even multiple.

I know I said 3 but to be honest my time with Serato has been so good I feel that maybe we as customers could demand too much and possibly ruin such a great experience.

-Sync Sp-6 to deck. (A MUST!)
-Instant scratch or some kind of ultra quick assign to deck, flat out, mousing samples across is TOO SLOW in the heat of a mix!
-Third deck no matter what rane unit used.
-Day/night view and/or changeable skins.
-Larger BPM counter view.
-Instead of a history, have it save your playlist as a crate.
-Midi out.

that's my wish list for now.

Marv Incredible 12:26 PM - 3 January, 2013
^Mikey, how do you mean? If you don't have the 'include sub-crates' option checked, it's pretty easy to tell what's not in a crate. However, if we had a column that told us whether a track was in a crate and which crate(s) it was in, this would be helpful.

Yes Mikey. We need a way to view all the tracks that are not in a crate. Maybe add an unassigned crate.

When you drag a file from finder or windows explorer, it will add the track to the library. However, it will not be under any crate.

• Improve Key Lock already. It Sounds Horrible. All computers can now handle the extra cpu.
• 8 Cue Points
• "Splice" to skip music seamlessly. serato.com
• Slip Mode. Flux Mode.
• Beat Jump. Make it programable. serato.com serato.com serato.com
• MIDI Out
• MIDI duplicate Deck 1 or 2 into Deck 3 or 4
• MIDI duplicate any of the Decks into the Sampler
• Scratch Hot Que
• MIDI Map Jog Scratch
• SYNC Sampler
• 1-5 second audio fade between tracks for dinner music. I hate booting up iTunes
• Add all SP6 Banks to be displayed, played and scratched. (at least 64 tracks/loops) Individually or at the same time. Like Traktor Remix Decks. Like Ableton without running 2 software juggernauts at the same time.

and also more cues.

also, have sp6 keep playing between banks, cause if u switch bank-a to c lets say, wtv sample playing on bank-a will stop.

- Deck to sampler button - moves the playing deck to a sampler bank of your choice and it keeps playing at the same pitch and/or loop.

- The abillity to switch and play between sampler banks ABCD without killing the sound of a sample that is already playing.

- Slip mode on/off button for each deck

62 mixer:

- full MIDI mapping of serato on all buttons not all of us use. Plus mapping on top of the default mapping and not by creating a new map.

- Mix/feedback control on the echo effect in the setup

- activate more than one built in effect at a time.

-I think the 62 should only be able to add a cue point if "enable hot cues" is checked under settings. If it is unchecked, then pressing an empty cue slot should do nothing. This would prevent adding additional unwanted cues, from accidental button presses.

(My 62 is only a few days old, so mayb I won't have this problem when I get used to it)

the duplicate thing should be done way before using serato. just saying.
same as itunes why use itunes ? its another program that could mess up.
just do your editing within folders and name your folders ect.
Laz219 7:21 AM - 18 February, 2013
There are workarounds for duplicate detection if you use itunes, I do it once a month and it always surprises me- mostly for tracks that I've had for months that have suddenly just got hot and I forgot I'd had it forever.
DJBamBam 10:18 PM - 19 February, 2013
I agree with previous post about better 'Auto Play' functionality....
1. Auto cross fade from deck to deck
2. Intro & Outro cue points
3. Track Editor to get rid of fluff at the beginning & end of tracks... Perhaps edit out music drop outs that are in some music videos.

I would also like to see a 'Last Played' tagging system.
I. E. Track highlighted Green = Played in last 7 days
Yellow = Played in last 14 days
Red = Played in last 21 days
White = Over 21 days
*all these fields should be editable

A duplicate file filter would be nice to help clean up libraries

Increase Size Of Color Code Dot! Color Code Text!

I've been using Serato since it was released. I love the updates that have been implemeneted over the years. This is my first request. I would love to see the following two features implemented into Serato in the next update. These aren't the biggest requests either.

1: Increase the size of the color coded dot! I have good vision and the dot is still too small! I use the color coding system religiously in my library. If the little dot were to increase in size, I would be so pleased.

2: Implement colored text. So if you have color coded the file "Red" not only will the dot be red, but so will the text. Even if it were to be made an option to color the text the same color.

Marv Incredible 1:02 PM - 17 March, 2013
This does make sense. It's commonly called 'jump to loop' and it is a feature that's been long-requested in ScratchLIVE, and is now in Serato DJ I believe.

You CAN technically jump to loop in SSL, but you have to scroll your loop counter to the loop you want to jump to and then hit a keyboard shortcut (can't remember it off the top of my head). But this is awkward and cumbersome and practically kills all the creativity in the concept.

This is the first DJ software I've used with waveforms, since I'm new to this digital DJing, and it took me back to when I was producing and I could zoom in/out as much as I wanted to. It's the first thing that jumped out at me. Hopefully Serato takes a look and considers it in the near future!

Got it.

You can enable the grid but it's a bit cumbersome. Download a Free 30 Trial copy of Ableton Live. Run Live before you launch Scratch Live. You will see a 'Ableton' panel button next to the 'SP-6' and 'DJ-FX' button. You will have to rebuild your overviews for you music collection to see the beatgrid though. You will also see a 'Grid Edit' button next to the Title and Key at the top.

I'm sure "cloud-based" "DJ apps" on iPads are inevitable, but they'd be in a whole different product category that anything Serato is selling now.

have fun with the Spotify thing.

the real Djs that I know and work with have hundreds of gigs of audio and video on their drives just like I do. you can't run that from the cloud...imagine the bandwidth you'd need to load an average 150-200meg video remix from the "cloud" while you're in Scratch Live or Serato Dj.

While I understand the Spotify request, I don't think it would be a smart idea to stream. Maybe if the offline mp3s synced could play then yes. other than that no.
AKIEM 7:07 PM - 31 May, 2013
streaming audio for a dj sounds like one of the worst ideas ever
deejdave 7:52 PM - 31 May, 2013
It actually says a lot about an individual that would trust their performance to a technology that is reliant on anyone/anything but their own self. Being self-capable is about the only sure thing you have in this life and it's not enough that you are trusting the technology you DO own (which can break at any moment) you now want to move to a system that is virtual?

Spotify request in theory is awesome but lag,bandwidth, glitches, crashes would follow
Deejae Smooth 2:28 PM - 3 June, 2013
Actually the spotify concept isn't awesome. You'd be 100% dependent on your internet connection and its bandwidth. Even if the connection was rock solid and never "dropped", you can still get congestion on the web and your downstream speeds can vary. Add to that what you'd be streaming (100-150 meg mp4s) and what would happen to your show if you experienced the streaming hiccups and it's a recipe for disaster.

Just get yourself a reliable Firewire 800 or Thunderbolt hard drive with at least 2tb of space and call it a day. :)

I'd like to be able to choose the position of virtual decks in stack mode.

I currently run 2 turntables, with a CD player above an empath.
I want the turntables on the left and right deck inputs (so when I am in a 2 deck mode that's what I see)
But when in stack mode- I'd like the CDJ to show up in the middle so it matches the physical layout.

1-Internal Mixer with Kill Switch
I make it standard for me to perform with at least 3 decks for mashup,looping,hooks, quick mixes and artist drops purposes.Most clubs have the Rane 57SL installed but I always bring my SL3 and connect the 3rd deck/SP-6 to the Aux input.If I'm using my Rane 62 I connect it to the session input.I can't control my mixes for the 3rd deck when using the SL3 with a 2 channel mixer because I can't cut the bass during the mix transition.
2-USB Aux as 3rd deck on Rane 62/61
I own the Rane 62 but can only select the USB Aux in the setup as the SP-6 player/Ableton player but not the 3rd deck.This feature is standard with the SL3.I perform with 3 decks for flawless mixes purposes.I'm still obliged to use my SL3 even after I spent so much money on a Rane 62.Some fans look at me dumb when they see me performing with SL3 connected on a Rane 62.
DJ Michael Timex 9:20 AM - 16 June, 2013
Pretty much echoing everyone else.

- Sync to SP-6 (it would be game over for me, the SP-6 is already a great tool but sync would make things a bit smoother and more things could be done in perfect time)

That's pretty much all i want because it would definitely be on par with the Sample Decks, i have an odd feeling that it's in the works....maybe or maybe not. From what im seeing it's that function thats making most jump ship.

Wouldn't it be easier just to click analyze and be sure your entire library is analyzed. If you do add more and at any point are unsure just click it again and if they are not all analyzed then will be now.
DJTRaXxX 8:15 AM - 18 June, 2013
It might be easier for the software developers, but not for the DJ's LOL. Especially considering I've never not had problems with SL's analyzing no matter what software version I've used and I'm having an issue now. It took 4 days to analyze my entire library last week and I'd rather not have to do that again. Why analyze my whole library when there may only be a few that were missed?

You might think that´s a foolproof method, but it´s not.
If you add some new tracks to SSL, edit the some tags, then hit analyze, SSL will not always analyze all of the new tracks.... Had this behavior in most versions I believe.

I heard of this issue but I never had it happen to me so I just brushed it off as someone just didn't know what they were talking about when I saw the post and never read any of them. I mean I deal with a huge library (huge for me at least 100,000 songs most of them cue points set & labeled) and I add over 100 songs every other day and I never had this happen. I'm not saying you are lying nor is it possible I just didn't know this was happening.

This being said can you elaborate on the issue so I can see if I can even duplicate the error? First off I must ask are you running mac or PC? If Mac I am truly interested. If PC well.................. not so much.

In this case as long as you didnt move any filers around and simply added more files you can just add all the files and only the ones that have not been analyzed will be analyzed. All files that have been will not re-analyze. To make my point a little simpler - If you add a bunch of files to Serato let the program analyze them then try to add the same files Serato WILL NOT re-analyze them. It will simply say "all files have been analyzed".

I mean unless you are having some sort of problems like you say in which I would start a help request. I am unfamiliar with any of these issues. Unfamiliar as in I have never encountered ANY issues with library management thus have no solutions on any of them, not as in unaware as I do know that some users do encounter issues.

It assumes since the file names are the same, that the files are the same. To ACTUALLY re-analyse, a tip is to drag the tunes, from file explorer or Serato library, into the 'analyse' button. That will re-analyse whatever you want.

Serato suggests re-analyse every version upgrade. Currently I only have 120K of my music files in Serato, eventually will be about double that. So at the moment, re-analysis of 120K files is about 10x days processing with quad core.. lol.. down to last 3 days /40K tunes to rescan lol. NO WAY i am doing this every new software version though.. once every year or two is enough.

But I am finding lots of new 'error' files with newer scanning mechanisms.

yep add arrows to scroll 'pages' of cues.. say 10-20 cues would be perfect for longer tracks or actual mixes. Just for playback/listening, it would be awesome to track split mixes that way.. if so inclined..

Trust me, its a real bug, not something I'm making up ;)
Been running Mac the last 5-6 years for SSL. The issue is present at least since version 2.0
Had it on all my macs, from OSX 10.5.x upwards to 10.8.x.

This is how to replicate:
- Import tracks a bunch of tracks,
- Edit the same tag on all of them (I set comment to "0 Stars" as a starting point)
- Hit analyze

There you go....

Not that its really a big issue, just an annoyance. I normally make a temp crate when importing so I have a better view of whats going on....
deejdave 10:59 PM - 24 June, 2013
I just did exactly that to 213 songs in a folder actually literally did to the T including the "0 stars" and it analyzed all 213.

I also realized I start editing and tagging my songs as they are analyzing on a regular basis. sometimes up to around 500 songs at a time most getting unique notes in the comments field but all get key (via mixed in key), & cue points with no issues ever.................. well I mean I've had a crash or two with no identified problem that i was not able to duplicate but no real issue.

Are you analyzing an internal HDD or external HDD? I just did External via USB 2.0. A WD Drive on a Macbook pro (my older 2008 or 2007 whatever it is) 2.33 ghz w 3 gb ram.
WarpNote 4:38 AM - 25 June, 2013
Only using internal drive these days.
Systems are:
#1 - mbp penryn type (pre unibody), 2.4 gzh intel duo core, 4gb ram, osx 10.6.8 (was running 10.5.x when released)
#2 - mbp 17" unibody, last batch of the 17", i7 2.3 ghz quad core, 16gb ram, osx 10.7.5 (or whatever the last release of 10.7 is)
#3 - mbp 15" retina, i7 2.7 ghz quad core, 16 gb ram, osx 10.8.3
deejdave 9:14 PM - 25 June, 2013
Well there is a huge variable there. I only use the external. USB 3.0 on the i7 2.9 ghz 8 gb ram OSX 10.8.4 and FW800 with the 2007/08 (again whatever it is LOL). I used internal a few years back when I used PC but ever since I got the first mac I use external strictly.
DJ Nemesis Enforcer 6:11 AM - 8 July, 2013
#1) Please implement more cue points. While 5 cue points are better than 0, somewhere between 10-20 would be much better than 5. The cue points could be similar to the SP-6 Sampler player and have banks.

#2) Make it so that when samples are being played in one bank of the SP6 Sampler that they don't cut off when switching banks.

#3) Implementing a Text or Highlighting color coder for the lines of the tracks your library and crates. As it is now, when you click on a track now you get an that whole line highlighted in orange, and when a track has recently been played all of the text for that track shows up in neon green. Here's an example of how I would find this useful...when I'm creating a crate or subcrate that I'm going to make a mix with I will put the tracks that I want to play in the SP6 for transitions and I will put them after the track that I want to play them after..but these are usually full songs that I'm just playing a little portion of from a cue point, not edited down or short little SFX...I'm very forgetful and am not always good at remembering how I planned things out in my head until I've played the mix numerous times. If this were to be implemented the tracks that I would plan on using for transitions or just to scratch with or whatever have you could stand out from the tracks that I actually plan on playing for real. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks for your time!

Meanwhile (during the wait) its been all about trying Rekordbox, Quantize, Beat Sync and Slip Mode and have to say really awesome features....

Kinda bummed that I might have to say bye bye to them...Serato Team (nudge nudge) any chance of some further CDJ nexus integration love with those features.

Traktor supports the slip function, sync & quantize. You could always go with them. I wouldn't mind slip but if possible I would like to keep sync & quantize for the other software. I kind of is the defining difference between Serato and EVERY other DJ program.

Leaving Serato after almost 6 years is a very tough ask, a big part of our success in Australia and Asia is dedicated to Serato (btw I have never used Traktor)

Interesting that Traktor has the capability, does that mean it's only a development or investment question for Serato, I hope it is not a situation where this is the "line in the sand" for CDJ users (ie me)

I read your post again deejdave and just understood what you meant by this comment:
"but if possible I would like to keep sync & quantize for the other software. I kind of is the defining difference between Serato and EVERY other DJ program".

As a self taught DJ who has been on the road and internationally for 15 years and self learned beat mixing, I would have been the first to shake my fist at an "auto sync user".

However, my feeling is allow the function to be turned on and off. Sync for me saves so much time and allows me to focus on the next track drop and further manipulation with FX instead of continual fine tuning with the tempo and jog dial.

(Apologies in advance to the serato team if my etiquette in the forum is wrong, not and experienced forum user)

Just to put some ice on the cake.An Auto Sync feature will never be a major problem for Serato users whether you're a seasoned DJ or a bedroom DJ.This specific feature can be set up in two different ways like it is in Itch or Serato DJ: as tempo sync or beat sync.As tempo sync it matches the tempo of the cueing deck to the playing deck for quick mixes.The beat alignment remains a manual job.As a beat sync the software matches the tempo of the two songs and also aligns the beat.But it relies heavily on a correct beatgrid to succeed in the process of aligning the beat.SSL is still struggling to give an accurate beatgrid after the analyze process which results in wrong placement of the downbeat and subsequent bars and beats.SSL doesn't have beatgrid anyway unless you're using The Bridge.Without The Bridge the sync feature would be useless for SSL users since you cannot mix using visual aid.It took me months to fix the beatgrid of all my songs which allows me to do mashup on the fly without worrying about nudging to keep the songs in sync.It may slip for a second after a while because SSL doesn't have the Beatgrid Lock feature like in Traktor or Torq.I like the fact that they don't incorporate that feature as it cleary defines the difference between SSL and the other DJ program indeed.Another reason is the fact that the sample player can play a whole file so lazy or wack DJs would mix using only the SP-6 for that sync feature.

This is literally impossible. You are asking a computer to replace musical notes & sometimes even words that are no longer present?

Are you aware of how many causes of a corrupted file there are? In many cases the data is simply not there. If there is no data how is a computer going to guess the missing data (which translates into notes & words) using simple algorithms (math)?

Why couldn't you just re-rip your CD or re-download from your record pool site.
If this happens frequently from your promo site then you need to file a complaint or move to a better one.

As a last resort you can convert your corrupted MP3 into AIFF.
deejdave 4:16 AM - 14 August, 2013
Additionally if this were implemented a generation loss would be unavoidable anyway meaning you lose quality on any/all files that are able to be restored due to fragmenting & such. The proper thing to do (although time consuming) is re obtain the original source. It is not ideal but it will reduce your chance of embarrassment.

hasn't anyone asked for customizing of keyboard shortcuts? why hasn't it ever been implemented?


That's a damn good suggestion.

Especially if it includes the ability to de-select them entirely.

don't know why you'd want to de-activate the keyboard shortcuts but hey to each their own. i always find working with the keyboard shorts of any program faster than working with the mouse.

With being able to customize keyboard shortcuts one could adapt from another software to serato faster by going to the control panel and changing the shortcuts to what their previous software keyboard shortcuts were. makes even the first timers or old veterans adapt easier instead of thinking where the key of a function is. makes the dj more creative by just customizing their common features to keys they know. and besides we all have different size keyboards and makes us customize shortcuts to our liking.
and that could come with a quick universal old default key should we want to quick revert back to original settings. or we could also be able to set the keyboard short cuts to a jump drive and load them to a different laptop.


the keyboard shortcuts could also give us access to the DJ-FX instead of us getting more gear just to access those effects. eg. CTRL+ALT 1, 2, 3 etc...

I already have a 57SL so it's not like i'm trying not to buy serato hardware. i/we just cannot use the most serato with a keyboard on the soundcard boxes and a 57sl.

what customizing shortcuts would allow us to do is add more cue points. for example, the 57SL cue points remain the same 1,2,3 but we could customize our keyboard shorts key 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to cue 4, cue 5, cue 6, 7 or 8..
the same for key 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 changed to cue points 4,5,6,7,8 on deck B.
with customization some will not have a need for 8 cue points and could change it their keyboard shortcuts to something else.

speaking of the keyboard (this is a long short) it would also be great if it were possible for serato to detect 2 keyboards and lock one keyboard to be used only for serato. the reason i mention this is because i have a rackmount system which i hook up my setup to. and my set up has it's own keyboard above the 57sl. and while i'm outside serato i'd like the keyboard on the setup to only be used with serato regardless of what application is being used. just like the way the 57sl is mapped to only serato, have a keyboard mapped only to serato. but only when 2 or more keyboards are detected. i've tried looking for a windows utility to do this for me but i can't find one. the only utility that's close is a utility which could detect 2 or more mice and have 2 or more mouse pointers. but nothing keyboard. the software was called TeamPlayer.

switched from Traktor Scratch to SSL.
Why t hell using beatgrids in SSL and dont use it?
Make Cue Points, loops snap to the next grid.

On live mixing im always use cue points to rearrange the tracks on the fly.

Combine cue and loops as in serato dj
Jump between loops
Bpm with 0.00% accuracy
Serato dj is more complete than scracth live ;-(

You may want to ask for quantize and/or sync being snap is not possible without it. You have to remember you came into SSL knowing this was not there as this is what SSl is all about. Beat grids are not there by default. They are there to be used in conjunction with Ableton (the Bridge). If you are having trouble with keeping the beat and need SYNC, Traktor is the way to go.

It would make sense for users with MIDI controllers who don't want to worry that a missed key hit when attempting to search causes some disruptive event.

I find MIDI controllers (including the 62/68 mixers) a lot more immediate/responsive to things like cuepoints than the computer keyboard.

I have to tip my hat at the implementation of harmonic mixing by Mixvibes - Well done! I'd love that.

... and while we're on the library/searching functionality I've got to say the ability to have you're library only show bpm in the range of the track playing. Like Traktor but implemented better :)

Unload Track Prompt:

If a song is playing live and you hit the unload button by accident, scratch live should give you a prompt before completely unloading it. Have seen people unload tracks by accident thinking it was the other deck and then the music cuts out. Would be cool to somehow program it to only prompt when the crossfader is open and/or make an on/off button for the feature.

I thought that was what "lock playing deck" was for ;)

pitch range multiplier.

being able to mix on +8/-8 decks and have the pitch double, triple, quadruple.

this would extend the pitch range to +16/-16, +24/-24 or +32/-32
WarpNote 6:30 PM - 3 September, 2013
Not so sure a tripler would be that useful, in regards to pitch flutter/drift on a regular tech 12mk2.

This is not a huge change but I think with how widely used social media sites are used this should've been a no brainer, however simple this may or may not seem it just seems cohesive to our field of work and helps us promote ourselves in another way without outside applications/plugins.

Ability to post tracks played during a live set to social media pages along with options to include links to podcasts/live radio shows and a custom message. The interval it posts to the social media sites should be set by the end user by either amount of songs played or amount of time played giving them the option to spam it on their own page or to alleviate spam by setting long intervals and a manual control to manually post whenever they click the Post to Social Media Link which could be placed easily next to the master gain by using a universal icon anywhere along that top bar and easily place a macro to it.

I know I'd like to post once I start a live session then once more in the middle of the set and once at the end, 3 posts on a long session is not a big deal & I also know there will be people annoying others with spamming it but they'll have to learn about that ont heir own.

Instead of using plug-ins that run separately outside of SSL and those plugins post every track played at every song switch which in my opinion drives people away, the solution to shutting it after one track plays and lists the podcast info is a simple fix but that's not the point of the request, it would be nice to have this integrated and controlled without unnecessary cpu/ram as well as not having to switch between programs.

'Due to the number of reports we have had of this problem we do not support machines with AMD processors for use with Serato software.'

You are fking kidding right??

So yeah ALL AMD processors are just NO good.

FFS that's YOUR issue not AMD's, learn to work with more than one processor type ffs..

That's just insulting honestly.

I have an i5 luckily in my laptop, but for offline use and desktop use I have a quad core AMD x965 black CPU.

To say that is WORTHLESS for serato.. URGH.

SUPPORT more than Intel you bstards!!

How rude to monopolise the CPU support.... shocking to read COMPLETE disregard of AMD.

Almost as bad as your Mac focus too.

LOL @ Mac Focus.

1. Support for lower screen resolution
2. Beat jump (something like in Traktor)
3. Subcrates

I would love to be able to split and move my windows to other screens...like have my library on one screen and my other windows on another...that way I can open more windows without running out of room.
