HOW TO LOOP WITH SERATO ?

Hip Hope 2:29 AM - 12 July, 2011
Hi

I just hit those numbers typically 8 and pray. Don't forget to pray though. Because thats where the magic makes a loop.
dj_soo 2:35 AM - 12 July, 2011
should really read the manual before asking on the boards - most of the basic stuff is covered in there:

i have a feeling your in abs mode, turn it to relative (rel)....also im retracting the "hip" from the name until we can get an evaluation on this...ill leave you with hope though
SeriousCyrus 1:22 PM - 12 July, 2011
Make sure you analysed your tracks first, unplug your serato box/mixer, then open SSL, you'll see the option. If it's not that, there's really no hope for you, loops are unbelievably easy in SSL.
DJ Remy USA 2:17 PM - 12 July, 2011
looping with SSL is pretty easy make sure you got it on relative mode

Dj-M.Bezzle 2:30 PM - 12 July, 2011
lol, if you cant get this looping thing down by the end of the day sell your SL and start searching craigslist for "loaded ipod" and "topless dj needed" LOL JK

O.B.1 6:00 PM - 12 July, 2011
you can even set loops/cues in the offline player...

-the easiest way for me is to select Group 4 (B4 button) on the ttm57,
then hit P1 button on the desired entry point, P2 button on the desired exit point,
(hit either P button again to make fine adjustments until you have a seamless loop)
Hip Hope 9:12 PM - 12 July, 2011
@ O.B.1 : Good explanation , thank you .
@ Serious Cyrus : Been there, done that .Am not dumb.

M-Beezle : Just shut up . With a name like this I´m sure there´s no hope for YOU.
And btw I dj better than most of you balling losers.

This info is right in the manual - wish people would actually read that before asking questions that are answered directly in there...

Stop making fun of this guy. I think he asked the wrong question.

He meant to say, "How do you DJ with Serato?"

Don't be so mean, she is still using a "SL-1 modem" (as stated in the german forum). Said thread turned out to be one of the best in months^^

regardless if she has a SL-1,2,57, or 68 its in black and white as stated before. Reading is Fundamental :)

A song won't loop unless it has a BPM calculated, correct? I actually found that odd too at first, I couldn't figure out why you couldn't just set "loop in" and "loop out" manually like a CDJ.

If someone is not a technological person or plays music that's less rigid in the BPM department I can see how this would be confusing. But then again, I'm a grownup.

I prefer the manual looping method because you can get the feel better. I never saw the appeal of letting the software decide where it was, and I think the auto-loop splitting stuff just sounds lame. That sounds better on a CDJ too if you know how to control it.

p.l.o.style 6:14 PM - 13 July, 2011
lol this thread is funny as hell! but everybody is right, hiphope (only female on the boards)! this is real easy. lol

there are 2 ways. manually or automatically.

automatically: just hit the 1/8,1/4,1/2,1,2,4,8,16,32 (buttons on the deck) but the tracks must be analyzed. or u can set the bpm urself by tapping the spacebar on the topright of the deck. note: if the bpm isn't set to it's absolute exact time, your loops will not be fluid.

manually: cue up the record press "in" and press "out" at the end of wherever u desire. make sure the "loop" button is on. (and also remember hotkeys "[" and " ' ") to turn on/off

that should do it for you.

also, when are we gonna hear a mix from you? seems like you might have some skills... you probably better than bezzle anyways. lol

Props for actually giving clear instructions ;)
deezlee 6:34 AM - 14 July, 2011
when i try to make a loop manually, ssl moves the in-out points to where it thinks that they should be. then i have to go in and move them and then they stay. i have an old version so i dunno if that's normal, but that's how i have to do it.
Deejay JOEY! 7:36 AM - 14 July, 2011
Did SSL analyze your file in a bpm range that may not be accurate? For example, I have a few transition mixes that go from 70bpm to 130bpm and vice versa. The software will analyze it as 130 bpm (the majority of the mix) and calculate the loop per 130bpm when i'm trying to loop the 70 bpm section of the song. It doesn't work out. In that instance, i will set a loop manually........go to your first beat, set a cue point, click the 'in' button and play until you think it should loop back and click the 'out' button.

Dont know if I understand this but the way I always make a loop is get to the start point I want my loop...PRESS IN....then let the record spind until I want the loop to end and PRESS OUT. I then check it to see if it loops on a whole bar, whatever that may be lol
deezlee 3:51 AM - 15 July, 2011
yup that's how i do it too, but when i click in, ssl doesn't put the in point exactly where i clicked, it moves it over by a little bit to where it thinks the loop should start.

Yeah, I've noticed that. It makes it more difficult than it should be (and occasionally impossible) to set seamless loops in some songs with live drummers and/or pitch changes.
deezlee 6:06 AM - 15 July, 2011
if you go in afterwards and move the loop points, then they stay where you want them.

Never noticed that with SSL, but was playing around with an itch controller a couple of weeks ago, the beatgrids were off on a track and it would not let me loop in manualy at the correct point.
