what serato version u running?

how much music do you have,

external hard drive? or internal?

does this happen with older version of serato?

have you tried serato with Sequoia?

running serato dj pro 3.2.3 and all my music is on a external ssd drive wihch is not connected yet i am running macos sonoma 14.6.1 witch this didn't happened till I down loaded sonoma when I click on the serato symbol on my macbook pro, in the dock it just keep bouncing up and down for about a minute or so, then it opens up

im running Serato on Sequoia and it seems to run smoothly with no issues,

maybe give it a try. Sequoia is officially supported by Serato with the 3.2.3 version.

Yes mines runs smoothly too. Once the Serato app opens up but it takes a while for the app to open up from the dock, the app just keeps bouncing up and down for maybe a minute then the app opens up then everything‘s good to go

I would remove serato then reinstall it, check if theres any other apps running it the background, clear it and then run Serato, have you restarted your mac recently?

you could try and open up a help request here>>support.serato.com
