How about the midi panel? Auto loop, doubles, load track?? still a little unhappy..
Dj Cellz 1 3:15 AM - 25 March, 2014
How about an update to enable recording with multiple tracks for cd recording ?
Dj BigDooby 3:20 AM - 25 March, 2014
Why not allow effects and recording capabilities for the microphone. ... this would complete this program. .
Germayn 3:23 AM - 25 March, 2014
Why does the mic stop working when I upgraded to serato 1.6.1 ...
I'm using "numark ns7"
DJ Majestic 3:46 AM - 25 March, 2014
Did you guys address the db issue?
It was too hot.
I had Scratch Live at 95db, never had a problem.
I had to lower Serato DJ to 89db, and it still clips.
Can you address this?
Can you calibrate Serato DJ to the settings that are in Scratch Live?
BOOGIEFROMCUR 3:49 AM - 25 March, 2014
Man I cannot stop blabbing about it...love the live video recording...this is going to eat up my harddrives space but its worth it...this feature alone is worth a lot...
Unclebnz1 3:53 AM - 25 March, 2014
Disappointed. Theres no CDJ 900 Nexus support. I waited up all night for this update

Exactly what kind of support are you talking about?
Just curious because I was referring only to the live video recording...now you can record your video mix directly to your laptop with video efx and all.
Unclebnz1 4:00 AM - 25 March, 2014
HID mode. I hate using timecode CD's
BOOGIEFROMCUR 4:05 AM - 25 March, 2014
Yes I just realized you meant the 900's . I use the PIO 2000's and they are much tighter with HID
BOOGIEFROMCUR 4:10 AM - 25 March, 2014
Must think for a second but I remember some trick with recording the control tone on a usb stick or memory card and using that instead of the control cd's...did you try that?
You can download the control tone from the serato website.
Unclebnz1 4:12 AM - 25 March, 2014
I did that already but its not the same as having HID. I can't use none of the better functions on the deck.
Unclebnz1 4:13 AM - 25 March, 2014
I thought for sure Serato would support the 900 Nexus since the support the 2000 Nexus
punto g 4:14 AM - 25 March, 2014
Finally I was close to buy the mix emergency plugin because I wanted to record my video sessions, thank for the update Im not going to buy anything.
BOOGIEFROMCUR 4:31 AM - 25 March, 2014
Unclebnz1 take my piece of advice...sell your 900's (including your mixer) and buy the PIONEER controller DDJ-SZ...probably you will get much more out of it including maybe the video plug-in for free.
That's for your personal and mobile gigs...around here all the festivals and most clubs got the 2000's set-up...I dont know around there...if you gotta spin anyway in a club or festival remember that it is a easy switch from the SZ to the nexus set-up anyway.

just spent on ME a month ago lol,but it still does a lot but serato video is def much better now for basic video mixing plus SV plays more file types than ME for some reason

DJ MEDIC 671 7:56 AM - 25 March, 2014
I'm happy for the update with the upgrades but most of all I've been waiting for a price drop to buy the video plug in at half price!!!! Way to go serato can't wait to play with the other features......

Dear Serato.
Easier, thanks.

Huge update with many improvements, this is much more usable now, nice one!
I'm feeling more comfortable with making the switch from SSL. Master gain, midi control panel and working 'relative - 2's complement' for FX selection via midi would be great tweeks for me.
Keep up the good work, love this product! =D
deejay Combat 3:20 PM - 25 March, 2014
very nice!

Or at least make the master gain able to retain memory so I don't have to reset it after every song.
Sikwidityo 7:20 PM - 25 March, 2014
I'd like to make the switch from SSL but, can't until there's a proper midi-panel. Until then, I guess I'm left behind. Damn!
Sba 7:48 PM - 25 March, 2014
Hello consultants, I turn down the gift pack for my serato QC, follow all the steps outlined in that tutorial, but nothing comes out in the pre-video, could you tell me how I can solve.
K'LOKO 8:02 PM - 25 March, 2014
very nice !
Baird 8:54 PM - 25 March, 2014
I love the update Serato knows what the market needs. Does this brings Serato Video on a level to compete with ME?? ME uses what you think???.
kostas_b 9:13 PM - 25 March, 2014
midi panel? once again we left behind......
getting tired of that now

Exactly the same for me!!! For a minute I thought that'it i m switching to serato DJ until I realised the midi panel still hasn't been put on....
Next time, may be!
T.Montana 9:28 PM - 25 March, 2014
Nice Update!

But why there is a SP-6 instead a SP-8??

Or more SP-...??
Mr. Giuly Dj 9:38 PM - 25 March, 2014
Please try to beautify the entire graphical interface... To me the thing that I do not like Serato is the interface, very messy and ugly to see...
Sorry for my english...

Video mix of windows is not writes. Error not found the video stream
deejay Combat 4:47 PM - 26 March, 2014
i have a problem in recording the video in this SERATO DJ 1.6.1, once you click the record, a yellow label below , indicating must lower RECORDING QUALITY, so i adjust the recording quality to the lowest setting, still the label below tells it again to lower the Record Quality... so any suggestion , what i must do???
JM11106 9:51 PM - 26 March, 2014
I just Updated everything and im getting an error message when i try to record a video mix. The recording stops on its own at about 20 second, and a frame error message comes on. not good

Yup am getting the same problem trying to record, it stops at 20sec. Only the audio records, no video!!!!!.
djnotorrious 1:45 AM - 27 March, 2014
great! now i don't have to buy mix emergency to record my video mixes! thanks
dj-tiger 1:51 AM - 27 March, 2014
will they ever add back the roll out fast or roll out slow DJ-FX to serato dj.. it was in scratch live and it was a very nice FX to use
djnotorrious 1:53 AM - 27 March, 2014
i know i love that fx too. ill check on that
dj-tiger 1:54 AM - 27 March, 2014
ok thanks men
ibsamurai 4:08 AM - 27 March, 2014
That's really is nice and thanks Serato, Now' if you Could Only' Place Microphone to Record with Pioneer' DDJ SX Controller It would Really HELP BIG TIME. fact is I Was doing a wedding, The Groom Asked to Record his Voice with the music Threw The Controller, it didn't come Out which puts us behind in respect, ever anybody needs a party they would not rely on having There friends, family, or even my voice heard as a memorie, is hurting us in business... Can you Seriously Please help us controllers on this important matter... Specially that the mic doesn't even work with Effect!!!! I am Very Greatful,
ibsamurai 4:21 AM - 27 March, 2014
Can you help Make microphone to record with DDJ SX controller... Very sad, it should be working! What's wrong with this picture!! Everybody'has controllers with older apps that record's using mics. Can you make it work threw pioneer DDJ SX.. Would REALLY appreciate it since it wont even work with effects... Sincerely.... Samurai
JM11106 3:09 PM - 27 March, 2014
I see a lot of post from users but no responses from serato. At least not to me. I switched over to the DDJ-SX and its been a problem ever since. I don't think highly of the unit or the program. And I don't understand why people are thanking them for upgrades that should be made anyway. You pay over $1000 for the units n couple of hundreds for programs that don't work right!!!!

Im Dissapointed with the VIDEO UPDATE is not recording well, it says 5 percent of the video is missing please low the quality of recording and I was using 360p, I think I have to buy mix emergency for sure, you still having lot of work to do, Im a Mac user
Dj Main Attraction 7:49 PM - 27 March, 2014
I updated and now when I mix with my NS6 it stop or start making a popping sound. I either have to stop my music or just close sera to down.
JM11106 8:55 PM - 27 March, 2014
it seems that this great feature that everyone was waiting for, to record video mixes from serato is crap. I just don't understand how serato can release and advertise a new update without making sure that it works. So everyone gets there hopes up only to be let down once again. I guess its back to the drawing board! LOL

Check your specs on the laptop & make sure it has a NVIDIA video card.
Also go into the settings and play with output quality & buffer size.
Check back and let us know how this worked out for you.

hey can i download this serato with full panels
? if yes how can i do it?
Anwaar Himsef™ 11:07 AM - 1 April, 2014
Nice update BUT.. The video plugin is SUPER HEAVY on my CPU.. Its at 100% at all times and glitches as i transition from one deck to the next. The track literally skips and makes me sound like im train wrecking. Anyway to fix this? The previous version doesnt have this problem so I went back to it.

turnoff automatic graphics selection on Mac...make sure the computer is using dedicated graphics only on mac...if you don't have dedicated graphics,don't expect wonders...or convert videos to 1500 in handbrake,anything higher on integrated graphics will stutter

turnoff graphics switching to make sure you're using dedicated graphics only on Mac,if it doesn't work,then stay on the old version for now till they fix this

Maybe controller dependent,but why not use your mixer...just set your auto gain between 90-92 and do the rest on your actual mixer

So now that I have the ddjsx for soon to be two years I now have to find 2000 to buy the sz for mic effects????

Same thing with the rane ttm557 now I have to find 1500 bucks to get a sixty one ??
unclebnz 1:26 AM - 11 April, 2014
That sucks. I had to sell my ttm-57 to buy a rane-62

Asu 3:21 AM - 11 April, 2014
i've heard,you can still use your 57 by the way just for midi and an SL2 for dongle to unlock sera to DJ.a 62 is quite a big purchase for a lot of regular DJs

I'd Love to make the switch from SSL but until there's proper support for the Bridge I'm not spending another dime. I've spent good money on Ableton 8 Suite and recently upgraded to 9 Suite. Very disappointed with this move so far.

The Bridge is dead,it was a nice partnership but it's over,that's what i've heard but who knows
djaygus 2:21 AM - 19 April, 2014
Where can I sell my rane ttm557 which is only 2 years ??
Any suggestions
I want to get the sixty one and there is no need for me to have a mixer running on scratch live
Unclebnz1 3:06 AM - 19 April, 2014
You can put it on ebay. That a where I sold mine two months ago. Also don't bother getting the Rane61 its a step down form the TTm57. Spend the extra cash and get the 62.
Dj Todd James 4:44 PM - 19 April, 2014
Can you make the CLOCK BIGGER, can barely see it . Still waiting to see if the player progress bars can be moved under the track in each player.

It used to be like that,,,please move it back or allow for a skin.

I agree!! I still use my 57 (for the Bridge) to record and produce my mixtapes! I got a brand new SZ sitting in a box for 3 weeks now cuz I'm not a fan of Serato DJ + No support for the Bridge/Ableton!
