Out of curiosity what would day mode look like?
Would it be mostly white?
Photoshop anyone? :-)

Here's how it looked in Serato Itch

serato.com

Thanks.

I'd have to see it outdoors to really see if that makes a big difference.

+1

You guys (Apple users) know that control + option + command + 8 reverses the contrast on your laptops, right? Day mode.

Once again this affects ALL displays. So if you're using Serato Video, it will not work.

And Once again, it doesn't even come remotely CLOSE to comparing to the day mode of Serato ITCH.

+1,000,000

Not even the same. That's a bootleg hack, we need a well thought out solution. Playing in daylight sucks on SDJ.

Not in yosemite!

In Yosemite you have to go into System Preferences > Accessibility > Invert Colors to do this. No more key command.

the keyboard command works perfectly fine in yosemite. You do have to activate the function in the prefs though.

+1

how do you set this up in yosemite to be activated by a short cut?

control + option + command + 8.

Been doing that in yosemite and noting happens. Should i activate this as a shortcut or something?

I'm pretty sure this is still not the case. Where are you seeing this?

I dunno why it's not working for you guys, but I have the latest version of Yosemite and both the shortcut and check box options work perfectly fine.

Can you screenshot the check box and what the preference panel looks like in yours?

www.dropbox.com

Pretty easy and works exactly how it is supposed to with Yoesmite just as it has for years with other OS.

+ 100.000. As a cruise line dj i have my sets in full daylight most of the time. And that grey sliders doesn't help at all. And i'm using Windows...

It makes a difference big time. Wish I could upload a pic here. I DJ on a 50ft boat every weekend in the summer. Was using ITCH and that was the best feature.

And I hate the screen inversion technique

You're absolutely right. I think this topic got sidetracked in the color inverting talk. We need a real Day Mode option. I played a festival yesterday and it was literally painful to have to use the GUI in the sun. Squinting at a laptop to see your tracks is a real headache. No pun intended.

I don't know why it keeps coming up. We've established before that screen inversion does not even come close to being so much as an acceptable band-aid solution for what was Serato ITCH's Day Mode.

For the record I ONLY posted because of this.........

No worries deejdave, I wasn't trying to call you out, and I appreciate your post showing that the inversion still works. Just hoping to hear from the good folks at Serato when this will be re-implemented.

Day mode plus Beat lock......I got to the end of a track yesterday and needed to kick lock the beat jump to hold the 4 beats while I dug a tune out. Just one click on the encoder could solve the issue rather than constantly twiddling...how hard can just a one click lock be?

+1 for day mode. Summer is coming up and I'll have several outdoor gigs...

Day mode + Beat Lock on beat jump!

And i was hugging and getting very close to my laptop
I think the crowd thought i was blind or something.

+1 seems like people been asking for this feature for a least two years.

Serato doesn't want to help us out.

+1 for a Day Mode

I'm going to give Traktor a go because of this. Fed up of the black shinny screen.

+1 on day mode but only if it's done as good as it was with ITCH 1.x as it wasn't good at all in 2.x.


Have fun. Last time I used Traktor it had no day mode.

Still doesn't as far as I know. Djay Pro does if I remember correctly though and VDJ.............. well yeah LOL

Traktor sucks. It's for people that don't know how to DJ.

I wouldn't quite put it like that. As a matter of fact out of the apps I mentioned above Traktor is the last fit for that description. Actually to be completely honest it is more advanced than SDJ is. Yes you can us it to A/B mix just as you can SDJ but in terms of actual capabilities and customizations it is far more advanced.

Have you used Traktor?

Yes I have. I love Serato because it's so raw. Traktor has cheat mode. LOL. I grew up on vinyls. Where is bring milk crates full of records to gigs.

Traktor and Serato use the same concept for DVS. Both use time code, both use vinyls.............. again what am I missing?

Do you still bring crates of vinyls with Serato? Does it in some way emulate this experience for you better than Traktor? I was under the impression both use DJ hardware to control software on your laptop that plays music files. Serato has SYNC, quantize and snap just as Traktor does. Am I missing something? What is this cheat mode you speak of?

Actually we have derailed this thread enough and I already know the answer to what I am asking anyways so no worries.

Back to Day Mode.................

I'm not here to argue with people that think they're walking encyclopedias. You're not missing anything. Bay to say mode subject.

Serato dj 1.7.7 just came out and still no daytime mode..what else is there to say LM...

DayMode!!! Sera to is really buggin' Out!!!

Well, yet another Summer has come and gone without Day Mode. Y'all can't tell me that there aren't enough requests for it. It's really quite pathetic! You know, I can sorta' understand why it took so long to get FLAC support & synced SP-6, but this is just getting ridiculous now!!

Yeah this is definately a good shout and surely quite a simple thing to do, especially as you say itch already had it.

I'm beginning to think serato does not read this forum. Or they stopped caring about us and more the money.

Maybe theyre busy designing day mode?.... Maybe

For 3 years?

Haha k fair point

Will DAY mode EVER see the light of ______?

Fill in the blank...................

It would be nice if Serato could update us regarding day mode. If they are going to do it or not for whatever reason.

Still no day mode.....

+1 pls

I'm just wondering why no one from SERATO has posted about this....

Because they haven't implemented it in 3+ years, despite the confirmations that they would. Oh, but be assured that the moment that they reveal this multi-year request, several of them will chime in.

Having such a simple request (one of the first on SDJ) fulfilled will be a joke at this point.

Ha. +1'ing this for shits and giggles because we all know this won't happen.

It'll probably happen, the Serato will be saviors........some next level ish.....

+1

don't geht the point why this is not happening...
anyone from serato can tell us something?

+1
Years go by...........
Serato hurry the F*** up already, whats going on??

We went from having Day mode to not having it over the last few years or so?? I truly don't get it????

djallstyle: Serato Itch 2.0, released in 2011, introduced a feature called "Day Mode". It inverted the interface to a white interface, but it was really well designed, and made it so that you could feasibly use Serato Itch in brightly lit environments.

Mind you, this cannot be compared in any way with using OS X's (*cough* macOS') Desktop Inversion feature. It was so much better than that. Also note that such an inversion feature is not available on Windows.

Here's a video from Serato showing this: youtu.be

We've been asking for it in Serato DJ ever since Itch was discontinued.

I liked Itch 2.0, it was really dope with the GUI refresh and dedicated video view, etc, etc...

I liked putting ITCH into the Easter Egg "Pink Mode" and then doing the OSX Inversion trick. It made everything have this awesome green/orange look to it.

+1

Day mode please!

@djPm not sure what you're trying to say? I'm for Daymode, need & want it... I had Serato Itch & a Vci 300......... Oh yeah I have a Mac as well.. You're right Serato's inversion feature was better....

Keep +1'ing it!

I have this post in my "tracked discussions", and it's absolutely maddening to see it pop up day after day with a new "+1", and still zero information from Serato folks with any logical reason that this isn't a feature (again.)

HELLO? SERATO??

looks as though this will never happen

Who cares if it does? At this point, it's a fucking joke.

Yeah, this is totally disrespectful for us dj's still endorsed to their product. People, it's simple, very simple : take it from itch, implement it into serato dj. There are dj's (like me) working in full sun for a living. Every day. Be considerate. Or assholes. It's your choice.

+1

I'm bumping this- It's LOOOONG over due!!!

Have any of you guys tried negative screen for windows or for mac www.wikihow.com It's a computer and they can do these kind of things

[IMG]i66.tinypic.com[/IMG]

Ahhh no sh**!

That's not why people are posting, from my experience it's a work around at best.

Not everything is displayed nicely with inverse view mode.

I think people honestly need to see ITCH Day Mode to understand why it's different from simply inverting your display colours.

negative screen has several options, on the uploaded pic only b&w&g are inverted, rgb are the same, it has custom colour swaps too.

Do you want to +1 for another 10 years or do something about it?

+1000

There's no image there?

There is.

Yip, there is - sorry it just took a while to load.

But if you do video it will invert that too😣

I've said this forever... which is a point that seems to be missed.

^^^ EXACTLY!!... BUT according to BARRY SCOTT "Stupid Serato Users" are not intelligent enough to know how to use the invert screen function on a MBP.

I play videos too. If I invert the colors on my MBP then it will also invert my videos. We NEED DAY MODE for SDJ!!!

There isn't a invert colours video fx?

It really bugs me that serato is really overlooking this feature, it's really needed, especially in the mobile Dj market.

Serato is blatantly ignoring us!!

You think?!? LMAO!!

+1

+1 cant believe we are STILL waiting for this

+1

Really hard to see outdoors if laptop screen doesn't go really bright.

I've always found invert useless because I lose my reference for colours in cues/waves etc.
Doesn't help that apple don't do matte screens anymore.

still no day mode lol

i get it that you don't wanna look like vdj but not even letting the user make basic color changes is just not vindicable anymore nowadays. especially since you're using Qt anyway so put the stuff in a qss and let the advanced users edit to their liking.

+1

+1
Its been over 2 years since this post and no day mode for Serato dj, especially when it was already incorporated in Itch. I'm surprise its taking software engineers at Serato this long to implement this needed feature in Serato dj.

So Serato what's the deal, patent infringement??
development team can't get it to work? - Pay an outside developer and get it done.


Sounds like the plea from djs are falling on deaf ears.

on mac just go to accessibility and hit display then invert the colors,on PC don't know

It's still not the same as a proper day mode though.

indeed, inverted colors is awful

True but outside in the sunlight it Works better then the other one

Go do video and and let us know how well inverted works out for you.

www.virtualdj.com
this off my 13 mac my 15 .... 10.9.5 is System Preferences then accessibility then DisPLAY. were all Dj to help each other out..

thanks but you missed the point. we know how it works. we just don't like the result

+2017

We're all entirely clear on how to invert the display. It's just that it is unacceptable, and not a valid solution. Likewise, if you use video (as has been described over 5 years of comments in this thread and the other one (serato.com)), inverting is not an option that anyone should consider at all.

If your doing a out side events with Music only then this will help.get to know your computer no need for a 1 2 3 how to video about a mac if your using a mac then this will help PC ?

Watchwww.youtube.com

..Read. The. Thread.

+1 for sure! you see in Greece most of our days are too sunny even during christmas so , a feature like this would be appreciated!

Inverting the colours is a half measure. I don't use video, but I do use the wave forms colour coding to anticipate track progression, I do colour code tracks to know their energy level or style, and I do colour code cue points for various uses.
When I invert the screen, these all become useless.

Day mode please.

Yes sir.

First outdoor daytime gig since ITCH and my NS7.

I was shocked to see that this feature wasn't preserved into DJP.

We really need this back Serato!

It's only been 3 years of us begging, Serato "might" respond when we hit the 5 year mark!!

It's already been 5 years. This was requested almost immediately after SDJ was released. It just so happens that this thread is only 3 years old. I thought FLAC implementation was a joke with how long that took, but this is shaping up to surpass even that.

Indeed. This is a feature request which has existed ever since Itch was deprecated, and Serato DJ hit "Public" Beta.

+100000000000

This has been a feature request since SSL. :-p Why has this not happened yet?

If you are on a windows machine, do the following:

Hold down Windows key and hit + on the keyboard
When magnifier opens, set the zoom level to 100%
Hold down CTRL+ALT and hit the "i" key.


Boom! Inverted screen! Theres probably something similar on MAC.

Not the same. A weak alternative.

I whole heartedly agree, but I doubt The big 3 will be adding daytime modes anytime soon.

+1

I thought 3 years seemed a bit short!!
Perhaps in 10 years time, Serato staff will respond.....
"it's not currently on our roadmap - try get some support in the forum!"

Lol. There could be a feature request with like 35+ pages and theyd still give the same response.

This is a great feature to have especially for outdoor/afternoon spring/summer events!

3.5 year old feature request. Don't think it's gonna happen. :-p

It's actually 5yrs now!
But I do agree, doubt it's ever gonna happen. Can't help but wonder exactly what the guys at serato do all day long. They aren't releasing any updates or even thinking of implementing feature requests, so what the hell do they do all day??

Maybe they don't really have that many people working at Serato. If it is a small company with only a handful of employees, I could imagine that they don't have enough time to work on a feature that no other DJ software currently has.

Except for their own product, Serato Itch.

Maybe that's the secret reason they killed Itch. They don't want people to know it can be done. lol

Please bring in the daylight mode version as seen on Serato Itch or a high contrast custom version and ability to resize the screen panels individually.

I thought I was the only one having this issue. I vote for this. Especially since its already in Itch!

Whats disconcerting is that I did not see one person from Serato chiming in on this thread for the past 3 years! They could at least acknowledge us and maybe even provide a time-table. Even if that time-table is that it's not on an current roadmaps for X months/years.

Can anyone confirm if Serato is using QT libraries for their UI? If so, it might not be a hard mod.

Isn't it obvious by now that they just don't give a shit? Pretty fuckin' arrogant if you ask me.

*BTW, this thread may be 3 years old, but there is another one even older where they failed to acknowledge anyone as well.

2012: serato.com

Yup, what a joke!

The best part is that Logan D even replied to that thread in May 2013 to say - quote - "It's coming!"

Here we are the better part of 6 years later...

This is just sad...

+1000000 x infinity!! ; )

It would be nice to have this feature before the start of my busy season in March.

Just a quick reminder of what DAY Mode looks like & how beneficial it is for daytime

events...Watchwww.youtube.com

The best part is they already developed the feature but are failing to use it despite at least 7 years of users wanting it in scratch live/serato dj..

if there was ever a time for a facepalm.. this would be it

+1

+1!!!!

NegativeScreen app works pretty well in Windows to fake the OSX inversion mode and turns the whole interface white.

zerowidthjoiner.net

Black background for the waveforms would be nice, but this helps.

Windows has built in screen inversion using magnifier.
Open magnifier by holding "WIN" key and hitting "+" key
Then hold "CTRL" with "ALT" and hit "i" keys.

Yeah, this uses the same technology but can be configured much more and switchable between different profiles with key commands.

Seems pretty transparent until you need it

Absolutely. Video gets decimated.

It affects usability for VDJ's not DJ's and to be fair most here are DJ's.

But yes this is a workaround and not a solution.

I think we would all grow old waiting for Serato to implement this.. so workaround it is for the foreseeable future unfortunately.

it's all about being adaptable. Nothing will ever be 100% what we want/need it to be so how you handle it going forward is crucial. I am sure it will happen one day though.

That makes one of us at least.

Serato Day Mode Please serato!

Well, looks like our prayers are being answered!

It's DOPE!! : )

Love it!!! Tried it in the sunlight and it looked great. Even in direct sunlight

Hmmm? I must be the only one who is clueless as to how this highly touted Day Mode is enacted or activated. Spent the last 10 minutes looking for a tab or some kinda toggle. Nothing about it in the Display section of the set up screen either

Nevermind.... tucked away beside "autoplay" SMFH!!

I've been testing it almost a week now and i can say that daymode is absolutely great. Finally a very important tool is added and it means a lot to me that i can work flawlessly in conditions with 35-40 degrees Celsius under an umbrella or a light shade , but even with no shade at all , with very few difficulties! A very big Thank you to Serato !
p.s. i see a turn in the company to adding features that are wanted by us and not just for marketing reasons. i predict that this is going to continue happening with other features as well.

i love the day mode..great feature

Hell yeah!!!
It's been a long wait. I'm so glad it's finally here. Works a treat!!
Thank you Serato.
