I wouldn't recommend serato to anyone I wouldn't recommend anyone serato. By far the worst dj software out there. It cant properly read tracks and is constantly bugging out. I would recommend getting a decks compatible with Rekordbox for a much better experience mixing music.

So far, Serato is a fluke! I have had Serato for a couple of years. I lost money on gigs due to Serato malfunctioning, stumbling and stuttering on me! I have e-mailed Serato to fix this problem for good and got no answers! I have given Serato an ultimatum to fix their hiccups once and for all or I will report them as disreputable!

Serato Studio is perfect BUT! Serato Studio is perfect for beginners, and those that just want a user friendly DAW, but I would would make a few changes that I’m sure would help. Suggestions: Strum Effect on first count/Automation duplicating/Trimming scenes in song view.✅ XPand!2 and Gross Beats plugin(s) can’t be used in serato studio. Also, there is no way to copy automation from one page of Scene 1 to every other page within Scene 1.🎬 Let me explain why my hands are exhausted. I wanted the 1st and 3rd beat/chord of every page in Scene 1 at -16.6db. I prefer your 📊bar graph option rather than your 📈line graph option when automating, but I still had to do each page by hand.✍🏾 That means with 8 pages in Scene 1, I had to make a total of 64 adjustments, since each page is in 1/16’s. Basically, implementing my own version of sidechain.⛓️ Finally, a way to add a grace note (Strum Effect) before the first beat of piano when playing a chord would be nice. This would allow my piano to roll into the very first chord. I thought about shortening scene 1 to 2 bars, but then all other scenes would be 2 bars. Also, there is no way to trim the scene in song view, so I couldn’t do that as an alternative either.📝

SO BUGGY!! Never in my life have I encountered something with so many technical issues and random bugs that constantly require trouble shooting. Very hard to find the answers online as each bug is just so random. Customer support are not helpful at all. Take 5 days to respond to each email with no advice offered each time. When it works it ie great dont get me wrong, but it is so so unreliable.

I recently tried out Serato DJ and… I recently tried out Serato DJ and overall, I was impressed with the software. The interface was easy to navigate and the ability to control multiple decks and use different effects made mixing tracks a lot of fun. However, I did encounter a small issue with the software crashing a few times, which was a bit frustrating. But, the customer support team was able to help me resolve the issue quickly and efficiently. Despite the small hiccup, I still highly recommend Serato DJ to anyone looking for a powerful and intuitive DJ software. The software's features and flexibility make it a great choice for both beginners and professionals alike.
