Serato DJ Pro General Discussion

Talk about Serato DJ Pro, expansion packs and supported hardware

Serato DJ Pro 2.1.1 Released

Diiijay 12:10 AM - 7 March, 2019
A new version has been released!
God help us!!!
Support for new hardware on the market. But correct old mistakes that is good ... nothing!
Diiijay 2:39 AM - 7 March, 2019
I made my first test with SeratoDJ 2.1.1.
I calculated the time from double clicking until the library was ready for use. It was absurd "46 seconds"!
As a comparison criterion I opened the same library in competing DJ software. It was only "5 seconds!".
Congratulations to the development team. They should have achieved a "10 seconds" faster loading time!
God help us!!!

Serato and all products behind this amazing creation.. we well!!.. hold on, just keeping it on I.. this gotta be The most important piece, there’s nothing like doing live remixing on the fly and I’ll say “creative minds think alike”.. from the best of the best Dj’s/ Produces would be amazing at what I saw today.. I’m truly back in the game because of this and it’s going to be an epic journey forward.. it’s like the pioneer rmx1000, but some key elements here dawg.. The Bridge got nothing on this
cheers 🍻

hello guys. i instal the new version 2.1.1 and the Spacebar and Enter do not work in offline mode...anyone have this issue?tnx.
Baum 10:05 AM - 7 March, 2019
Same here. I had to use the shift key or the caps lock with spacebar and enter key.

W or S is also working. Don't understand why Serato's changing this.
The Return of Dj Sparky 10:34 AM - 7 March, 2019
Is it set to use shift keys for playback in settings

Have all the bugs been addressed and fixed?

If not why the F are they adding new features?

this release really helped me the "Fixed an issue where iTunes files would not show Key tags correctly" was really killing me when I had to re scan all my id3 tags every time the program opened.
Chromie Pants 2:20 AM - 8 March, 2019
Just installed this on Mac is high sierra and the Akai AMX dies not work.
It recognizes it, and says that the software is hardware activated, but the decks don't go to live/performance mode, and no controls on the AMX do anything.

I really want to use this with my Roland tr8. The only other Serato controller I have is the Roland dj202 and it won't work with the tr8.
Chromie Pants 2:35 AM - 8 March, 2019
After a couple minutes the info bar will show "error: failed to connect midi device"

Leveraging your comment ...
Each version presents more problems than the others and end up having to correct what already worked well in previous versions.
Actually the application did not improve ... it only came back to what it was before.

What bugs are you referring to? I never suffered from bugs with serato and imho some of the bugs that people complain here are obviously hardware related or from OS abuse (like these "my 10 year old laptop i use for internet and media, have installed a 1000 apps and never made a clean reinstall and dedicated it for music usage")

I am excited finally they added independent pad modes for two connected devices!!!

This worked on my old rane 62 and pioneer ddjssp1 combo but no more since i got the rane 72.

Music whise this feature independent pad modes offers finally the "music manipulaters target group" great new possibilities like roll looping on one device and cue points on the other device, or cue jumping with pitch jumping.

Have not seen independent pad modes was adressed too many times on this forum. And sb. can argument why there is still no day mode since it seems to be a very popular demand or at least some people are insisting on it regulary.

So I am very happy that serato from time to time shows some love for the music manipulators as they did on this update :)

You are mistaken! I can guarantee that my Operating System works perfectly! I can also guarantee that I have no hardware problems.
All my complaints are based on problems that occur only in SeratoDJ.
Just because you're not picky and likes the app the way it is does not mean it's good.

-Waveform that functions as a quavering cartoon;
-Incompatibility with some Nvidia drivers;
- Library loading time too long (even with the last fix;)
-Falls of the previous version that did not read files of some known extensions;
-Falls from previous versions when Windows was upgraded (they said it was Microsoft's fault but corrected in the later version);
-Information about music corrupted but not corrupted! (It was because they contained special characters)
-Crates that do not update automatically

and much more!

Read the forum calmly! Do not be so simplistic!

Outside of waveform, the rest is mostly on you. Go away already and oh god, you're a whiny Windows user. Just go download a cracked version of VDJ already and disappear.

i just delete the current version i installed the 2.1.0
G.REKKAS 11:54 AM - 15 March, 2019
it's not about the fight between mac and windows users , it's about how SDJPRO should work appropriately. it takes a long time to load , no day mode , no autoupdate for crates , no autocue on load for headphones and many other minor or major stuff that many users want but nothing happens. Sometimes i wander if they ever read the comments for the problems we face or the features we would really like to have. to the point; 2.1.1 is a bit faster on load but still needs to be faster. i think the next major upgrade and not update should focus on the overall stability and reliability , especially for windows users cause i can't understand how a laptop of 2k euro is totally awesome for heavy loading games of 2018-2019 and still freezes for secs when multiple crates open.
YZ 3:55 PM - 15 March, 2019
You're missing the point and I've said this 100x in here. It doesn't matter if your Windows machine is the best of the best. Serato DJ was designed and optimized to run on Mac OSX. They didn't have developers on Windows writing the software for Windows so you're basically using a shitty port of the original. Thus all the problem threads in here and inconsistencies. Never played a video game designed on a PC but ported to like and xbox or ps4 and it plays like shit? Same thing here.

It's really this simple, if you want the full Serato experience then buy the correct laptop for it. Otherwise, buy Windows and complain in the dumpster fire threads here all day about all the problems you're having. Just don't get confused as to why this is happening to you. Just sayn'

the main issue with windows is the chipsets, if serato were to tell us all which ones work great but they don't, then won't even give you the model of a windows test machine they use that works 100%

Again, this is the key.. most of the nicer made machines are going to have quality components vs some 2nd tier brand that uses lower tier stuff.

I don't see a lot of people using Dell XP 15s, Alienware, Razer etc components in here complaining it's always the lower tier hardware or some oddball form factor like a Surface Pro that cuts corners to make things thin or cheap.

You keep blabbing about all the bugs that are never fixed, but you only mention one thing that could be a bug, but in reality it's probably your hardware. I have a windows machine and my waveform looks top notch.

My crates library doesn't update itself. Is it supposed to? Are you talking about the smart crates or something, or are you asking for a new feature?

Played a gig last night on 2.1.1 on a £350 Windows laptop. Worked perfectly.

Years after, and still Serato is not able to fix their issues. Best working version for me is still 1.9.5! Yesterday I played with Pro and distortion and white noise appeared, looking back here again I noticed people having the same issue for more than a year! It's like the VCI 300 issue with dropouts never managed to fix it and just kept quiet till everyone stopped using the hardware!

Why don’t you just move on to a different software then? If it’s not working for you then find something that does.
