And at this point I suggest we all tip our hats in the direction of Serato HQ.

Thank you, Serato team, for making this happen.

Working great with my Mixdeck Quad, only wish they could of worked out a view. I really dislike having ME covering things up........ Maybe in the future I guess.
dj jamalot 5:49 PM - 17 December, 2013

slimmjimm 8:04 PM - 17 December, 2013
Has anyone tried this with DJ Intro? I was waiting to buy a license because I knew I would be getting a compatible controller, and even though that's going to happen now sooner rather than later, there are a few gigs I have left this year that bringing my Mixtrack Pro would be nice.

Hopefully this quiets the $hit talkers bad mouthing our favorite Dj software and the DJ's who compliment their arsenal with the controller of their choosing... I own both and like both...

So I manually midi mapped the crossfader/volume faders on the NS7 II (via ME 2.4.0 beta) and they are real jittery. Am I doing something wrong? Also have a random question. Does anyone know if the NS7 II sends14 bit MIDI messages from the faders?

currently, i'm using extended horizontal view with ME. i'll probably tweak it over the next coming months.

the SOUNDINSURGENT 1:40 PM - 18 December, 2013
Nyce, are you using a 15 or 17"?? The space between your effects looks way more open then mine. But yeah That's a nice way to lay it out, gonna give it a try tonight.

i'm on a late 2011 17".

if i close the fx tab, it still looks good too.

Has any one noticed how the output screen in me now has big thick black boarders on every video it out puts. I mean the black boarders got thinker


I wish the was a way to choose. 4.3 ratio for the output screen

why are you playing on a bunch of old tube tv's or like having the a/r of your videos stretched?

turn border fill on, the only way you will have black bars on the sides is if your video files have been sized inproperly

Yay!!! xmas has come early thank you serato + inklen :)
VJ Justin Allen 2:28 AM - 19 December, 2013
It's very nice to see ME officially supported!
Code:E 8:50 AM - 19 December, 2013
question, is ME really "supported" or just allowed to function. I wonder if there's a licensing fee in there somewhere? I'm fine with just allowed to function, I just wonder whats all really going on in the back rooms.
DJMark 10:07 AM - 19 December, 2013
Nick is obviously no dummy, and especially after all that's gone on I don't think he'd state "official compatibility with Serato DJ" if there was any ambiguity about the situation.

And although this is obviously a big win for Nick/Inklen/ME-using video DJ's, Serato benefits from a reduction in "fear/uncertainty/doubt". Especially when getting a new platform off the ground. Also because Serato DJ's primary competition still offers no support for video and Nick may well have felt pressured to look in that direction if an understanding with Serato didn't happen.

In other words, the Serato DJ universe is healthier and more secure with ME officially in it.

They are indeed 14-bit MIDI messages. Nick explains a workaround here: www.inklen.com

I will probably be trying on the NS7 (og) later on tonight.
the SOUNDINSURGENT 4:24 PM - 19 December, 2013
I guess this also means all the people on a PC are just outta luck now??

Can't deny this merger has taken pressure off of Serato and the need to update their own plugin.......

Thanks bro,was trying to figure out why the fader response was so jittery...

epic! just upgraded from me1 to 2.4 because of this!! :)

before support, i could've cared less about getting the new denon 6000 mk2. but now.....
Joshua Carl 5:53 PM - 19 December, 2013
remember guys.... THESE ARE BOTH BETAs

so if your having issues, REPORT THEM!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOH.... look at Nyce with the 16 count sequencer preset ;-)

the sequencer IS a GAME CHANGER!
Joshua Carl 5:57 PM - 19 December, 2013
Question is.......













who is gonna camp with SSL & ME/SV for another release?

I read the help section of Serato DJ, and I gotta admit, Im scared....
I sort of pride myself on having no crashes that are with my control.
dont want to tarnish that.

sequencer is a beast. you can do some crazy effects synced to the beat. people think i did it in after effects.

i was going to ride with sdj, but i used 1.6 last night and there were some showstoppers such as the sp6 output and a problem with looping timecode cd's. i'm sure these will get resolved soon, but for now i'm sticking with ssl until further notice.

I guess I can whip something up real quick. After New Years tho...
Maskrider 3:34 AM - 22 December, 2013
I've been using Me for quite awhile now but haven't gone real fancy with it...So it's definitely a plus if someone would show us how to do it.

Yes i was testing 2.4 using DDJ-SX...best way is activate serato video and ME will automatically map the faders using serato videos MIDI signals,then de-activate...you do that once and you're all set for basic mixing...works like a charm

No you deactivate serato Video in settings,it doesn't run then...this is the easiest way for ME to picup the instruction set of Serato video to faders

do it in settings...if you just use the tab on the GUI then Serato Video still runs in the background...so turn it off in settings and you're all set.

Very compact setup,i love just carrying the controller to mobile gigs,1 usb cable and my Macbook Pro 15" :-)

LJ_WOOLSEY 1:46 PM - 8 January, 2014
Well how stupid! All issues with 1.6beta MUST be reported in the beta area! By not doing this all is happening is 1.6 will end up buggy because people cant be arsed to do bug reports and in the correct area!

So if anyone has some free time! Please go test the shit out of 1.6beta and Report every single little issue in the beta area! The more people do this the more chances of a stable sdj software release!

I know you all dont have time to test!
