Serato Studio 1.2.0

There’s a whole range of exciting new features and workflow improvements in Serato Studio 1.2. This is a free update for all Studio subscribers. If you don’t currently have a Serato Studio subscription, you can start a free trial.

What’s new:

  • Sidechain compression: Build energy in your track and layer sounds together with Sidechain Compression. This popular technique lets you ‘duck’ the audio of one sound to another, like a bassline to a kick.
  • Scene Page looping: Stay focused on the music by looping a scene page while you work on it, and save time by starting scene playback from a looped page.
  • Mute/Solo per Drum Deck Pad: Perfect your drum sounds by muting or solo-ing your drum deck pads while you get each sound just right.
  • Export Drum Deck Pad Stems: Export individual drum sounds and master them in another programme.
  • Support for Pioneer DJ DDJ‑1000SRT: Make beats with your DJ hardware using the all-new DDJ‑1000SRT.
  • In-App Sound Pack notifications: Get notified within Serato Studio as soon as a new sound pack drops so you can stay in the loop.
  • Demo projects added to Sound Pack installer: Demo Studio projects in sound packs will now install with your sound pack instead of separately.
  • Reorder decks: Keep your decks organised by reordering the decks within a scene.
