Serato Studio 1.7.0

Serato Studio is the go-to DAW for beat making. Studio’s sample-based workflow removes all the technical clutter so producers can get right into the flow. Its powerful and intuitive interface is clean and simple, allowing producers of all levels to make heavy-hitting beats fast.

Serato Studio 1.7.0 is out now and features 16 pads and mixer view.

Recent Updates

16 pads

Serato Studio now includes 16 pads in the drum, sample and instrument decks. Triggering these pads from a laptop keyboard has been improved with a new 4x4 shortcut grid which uses the 1-4, Q-R, A-F, Z-V keys.

To align the extra pads with 16 pad (4x4) MIDI controllers a new ‘Reverse Pad Order’ option has been added to the General section of the setup screen.

Please note: You will need to re-download and reinstall Serato Studio’s Sound Packs in order to access the updated Drum Kits with 16 one shots/samples.

Mixer view

A brand-new mixer view lets you view and adjust all of your mixer channel strips in one place—letting you compare volume levels, pan channels and tweak the EQs to get the perfect mix.
