the sound quality didn't change at all. serato confirmed that they didn't change anything in that regard.

Vestax never wrote 64 bit drivers for their Typhoon controller -
support.serato.com
That's the link for the known 32 bit ASIO driver. I have never used it, Serato DJ has always had a driver for the Typhoon built right into it.

Imagine my pleasant surprise when, after installing 64 bit DJ Pro, my Typhoon controller still worked. What? How? A 64 bit program sitting on top of 32 bit Audio, like the Video, which they have already said is still 32 bit?

So I asked Serato directly. Their answer -
"All the audio decoders in the 64 bit version of DJ Pro and Lite are 64 bit."

Something had to have changed.

I’m using it at a gig and the audio output def sounds hotter than before. In a good way.

I'm in love all over again. Been waiting for this for years. I stuck with you. I knew serato would come through and they totally f---ing did. Lol. I'm live right now in the club.

If you gave us spotify integration? Holy crap man. What a combo! Great job @serato team. Thank you.

I agree on all points except one . . . . . my hair isn't growing back

There is clearly a difference, a blind test between sdj and sdj Pro is ezsy. Iagree that meds and high are a bit more louder but not the basses.

Still no grid view even tho we have been asking for it for years now

I think now that Serato has gotten past the massive undertaking 64bit version kernel development, i think we will see more add-ons and expansion packs in future updates.

P.S. First night out with SDJ pro went without a hitch. No crashes, no freezes. Very smooth even with every memory draining feature enabled and engaged.

lol bro I know there isn't a cure for baldness because the elites don't have it just look at the royal family in England the men are bald case closed.

also the amount stress I had to endure ever since I started getting issues in serato itch through to serato DJ was just overwhelming, the fact that every time you play live you just pray that nothing goes wrong with serato, that is the first thing on your mind and throughout your gig is i hope serato is not going to crash or when it freezes you always say "Oh Shit" when it unfreezes you butthole unclenches and you relax for the time being lol

but now serato dj will not be a burden on me as I play live because I'm starting to have faith in serato dj and its gonna be alright and you tend to relax more and concentrate on reading the crowd, enjoying the art of DJing and making people happy again :)

Serato also said that the sound quality was better in Serato DJ than Scratch Live and that was obviously false. Sometimes you have to use your own judgment. I listened to it on my RCF tt system and Serato DJ sounded pretty bad when compared to Pro and even Scratch live. There is definitely a different and in my opinion better sound with Pro.

The first thing I told them in the Beta is that it ran hotter and they said no. There as a clear difference to me.

100% difference in sound quality.... period.

I can confirm while mastering on my studio RME sound card, that now serato DJ pro is not doing anything to the sound quality of the track, but everyone is now noticing an improvement in sound quality which is true! The new Serato has not increased treble or mid, it is playing as the track was recorded. i.e. perfect as it should do!

I have now compared some wav files in DAWs, Sound forge, Audacity, all music editing software and finally in the new Serato DJ pro, they all sound very close, again as the track was recorded. crystal clear

The old Serato DJ was contaminating the sound quality of tracks, its that simple. With the new serato DJ pro, its as if someone has lifted a plastic bag covering your speakers. Your now hearing the quality of the track as it would be played on any other device. The old Serato never ever allowed this it was muffled and seriously changing the sound from the original recording.

So the new serato is not changing the sound quality of your tracks, its simply playing them as they are records, in perfect quality.

wow niice info Johnny I mentioned on another thread saying
What If Serato did something with the new update which caused serato dj pro to have better sound quality, maybe it happened by accident I just pray they leave it or make it better in future updates just don't mess it up :)

^ This. I recall SDJ 1.6 - 1.7 sounded like a fucking tin can. I tested it on my QSC system and the bass was so muffled and flat compared to Scratchlive it was so bad I stopped using SDJ mid gig and loaded Scratchlive immediately the clarity and rich sound just came back. I think it was their auto gain or something. The sound quality has drastically improved since then. At one point I recall everyone bitching about SDJ's sound on the forum it was actually quite hilarious and sad at the same time.

Side note: I always thought auto gain just sounded very muddy and the bass wasn't punchy enough. Like it had audio degradation loss. If I can play a song in iTunes and it sounds 5x louder than SDJ than somethings wrong...finally this has been sorted.

Thanks for info

sure, additional components like drivers can also influence the sound. i should have said: the core sound "engine" didn't change.
