Serato DJ Pro General Discussion

Talk about Serato DJ Pro, expansion packs and supported hardware

New to Serato, question about audio routing.

DuneP 3:44 AM - 4 January, 2019
I use a Pioneer DDJ SB2, my setup is on a desktop PC with two JBL studio monitors.
Now when I have my SB2 connected into Serato, is it just straight up not possible to have the audio come out of my JBL monitors? The audio is strictly redirected to the controller? I was previously using Virtual DJ which gives options to use the controllers soundcard or the computers, but it seems I have no option here without having to use some cables which I'd rather not.
Clubber1970 6:51 AM - 4 January, 2019
There is no sound settings in Serato. All sound goes to your primary Serato device. You have to plug in your speakers directly to your SB2.
DuneP 5:15 AM - 18 January, 2019
Is there a reason or benefit to it being this way?

is this for recording purpose?

If the controller only has one output (RCA) what are your other options? Unfortunately Serato is not VDJ and doesn’t allow audio routing. Now if you had a Serato hardware device with another master or booth output you wouldn’t be so limited.
drew beck 4:08 AM - 15 January, 2020
YES, this is so needed. Coming from both DJay Pro and Rekordbox, which allow this. DJay allows full control within the app — select any device and channels for main output and cueing. Rekordbox enables this if you create an "aggregate audio device" in MacOS (not sure the windows solution) — you can select a single device in Rekordbox but choose different IRL device outputs. I believe Traktor has full support for audio routing as well.

The fact that Serato doesn't have this really lets you know where there priorities are. Namely: in selling controllers and mixers. If you want a higher quality soundcard for Serato you HAVE to buy a more expensive controller (or mixer)! If that wasn't the case, folks would be out here with the cheaper controllers and splurging on fancy soundcards from another vendor. Which is exactly the setup I have …

So, don't hold yr breath. Serato knows who pays their bills, and it's not folks like us here :/

Cut out the internet tough guy mess man. If don't have anything to add to the discussion just sit back and don't interfere with those who do

There is a real legit reason why someone would want advanced audio routing capabilities. I use Ableton to record multi-track mixes. This limits me to just one option at the moment which is my aging Rane 62. If Audio routing support was available I could consider upgrading to a newer mixer/controller. But I guess a big time DJ such as yourself have no need to understand advanced audio and routing setups.

Serato don't have it for that reasons, deal with that or get some other software.

Do you happen to have any idea of what those "legit reasons" might be or are you just another tough guy who cant help but stick their nose in and offer nothing but a chest thump?

As I stated this WAS ans still IS possible with the Rane 62 but you didn't read that did you? its not a issue of it cant its an issue of they wont.

Get off the forums if all you got is snark but nothing intelligent to add to the discussion.
popnwave 9:41 PM - 18 February, 2020
The audio routing capabilities usually lands more on the hardware engineering side. Serato can then choose to support it like it did in the 62, I guess.

I'd probably pick the brains on the hardware makers first.

It’s for sure on hardware at this point and Serato doesn’t necessarily have to support it. It should be all about how the sound card captures and routes the audio.

It could be integrated into Serato as a direct out option but doubtful they will ever make that integration. Probably would not see enough user gain to justify the engineering it would take but it would be hella tight if they did. They already have a record option. Would just be a build out of that.

As far as Rane is concerned, it looks like the mp2015 supports the same USB out routing as the 62 plus the added channels. It’s unclear if the Seventy-two does and no info on the Seventy yet. I have asked but no reply.

I bought the Reloop Elite for this function but it looks like there info is wrong and misleading so it’s going back to the store. High hopes for the Seventy to support post fader per channel outs since I can’t do any updates to my 62

First at all, back off man, i'm a scientist.
No, not really, but you shoud reconsider your manners. Forum rules, be nice to each other, ect. You know, that kind of thing you are NOT doing.

Yes, i have. Maybe i will tell you, if you apologize for being rude and ask nicely.
I have something in mind... Watchwww.youtube.com
And yes, i am just another tough guy (sometimes, dependig on how you treat me, i can also be very nice and accommodating), who is sticking his nose in, thats what this forum is made for. What i have to offer depends on your behavior...

That was never the question. It's not a hardware issue, because Serato is not making hardware. The 62 absolutely can support advanced audio routing, it's just another multichanel audiointerface. But not with Serato DJ. They could totally do it, but they won't (so far). For some legit reasons.

Other software may give you several other options to route audio with the 62 and other hardware. But Serato Dj simply does not, audio output is strictly from the connected hardware (so far).

Except you have a controller/mixer which is using the internal mixing engine of Serato DJ. Here you can create an aggregate device in MacOs and Windows as a workaround. Its routing the master output of the internal mixing engine to your computers audio output. But you will loose your hardware headphone output also, so not really usable for djs purpose.

You see, one of the legit reasons, so far... If you want that feature that badly, the Play plugin is the way to go. But whitout hardware support.

Maybe possible, but see above.

JulioYEG you are such a toxic troll telling everybody to go cry somewhere else who doesn't share your opinion. Maybe you should consider bringing constructive input into discussions or shutting up instead of spreading toxicity like this.

Yeah and I know you have read the explanation in the other thread why I keep looking into this forum every now and then.

I am not. I just don't like how they treat long-time users who were loyal to their brand for 10+ years. If you can't differentiate between criticism and shitting on people... that's YOUR problem.
popnwave 4:02 PM - 19 February, 2020
JulioYEG is lot a lot of us who've been around a long time. We get snarky when we get tired of people who don't get social cues well.

Yes, a squeaky wheel will sometimes get you what you want, but with stuff like the A&H mixer being years down the road now, you guys just gotta move on about stuff like that. You think you're right, and maybe you are, but you cross from being a productive member of the community to one that just complains about your specific situation. It...gets..old

No one is going to judge people for using another piece of software, but stop trying to make Serato LIKE every other piece of software be it VDJ, Rekordbox or Traktor and just use those instead.

tl;dr learn to read the room
orbit122 5:31 PM - 19 February, 2020
You have got to be kidding me with this. Been around a long time?? Where, Serato forums? Please homie save that. These are forums here for people to make request, suggestions, get help and have general discussions. No where does it need to be that someone nobody tells someone to "Stop Crying" or use patronizing tones because you THINK you know more than someone. That macho BS can shove it. You want to speak to people that way be sure to include your address so I can give you the opportunity to address me like that in person.

These nobodies appear only here in Serato forums. They have the collective search results of of my dog. You think a lot of yourselves for only being known as forum trolls. Search yourself and you see that the only time your name is mentioned is on some forum. No shows, no mixes, no history. You don't even exist outside of this space. 4 IG followers son! come on.

If it gets old just find something else to do than troll Serato forums. Go work on something creative. The reason why most of end up here is because we working on something and hit a wall because of something we cant figure out or a limitation of the software. It not a bad thing to want more from Serato. These request are how innovation is made. You sit back and except things for what they and like it, some of us want to see the maximum out of things. Suggesting that I go use something else because you like things just the way they are is you on you, I use what I use and complain about what i complain about. You dont like it thats fine but keep it to yourself or next time you happen to find yourself near Washington DC you can let me know in person. And take that social cue however you want home boy. Better yet Ill be in the UK next month and if want to sit, have a pint and talk it over im down. Then you can say all the things you want to my face. Otherwise if don't have anything to add but a rude or sarcastic remark save it.

You criticize a social behavior that you yourself show more than enough and even surpass.
Expect other people to have a different opinion than yours. And also that they will share it with you, as you do.
It's totally ok if you don't aggree, but thats no reason to get rude like you.
The other bullshit you wrote here i could not commet whithout breaking rule #1...
