![]() ![]() ![]() Wouldn’t it be amazing if they turned around and cut a deal with Spotify, like what Algoriddim’s djay has? Spotify Integration (Post-Pulselocker): Serato just lost their fully-integrated streaming music library, Pulselocker.Library Management (Track Purchasing, Tagging, Ratings): Essentially, why not take all of the ideas that were in the Beatport Pro desktop software and put them into a DJ application? Being able to tag music, sort it intelligently, and buy new tracks all within the software could be useful – if done right.You can always just invert your screen, but having it built-in the software’s design would be superior. This allowed it to be easily used in bright sun (daytime gigs!). Daytime Mode – In the days of Serato ITCH, there were white skins for the software.If DJs are registered users, why not allow them to do basic mix testing in an “offline” mode? Full Offline Player Mode – It feels a bit odd that SDJ is one of the few pieces of software that doesn’t allow you to do basic DJ mixing without plugging in hardware.Why not incorporate some of that hard work by adding features from the VST to Serato DJ? For instance, imagine if you could quickly have the software suggest cuepoint placements on all tracks without cues already – similar to how the VST suggests samples. Serato Sample Features Built In: Much of Serato’s resources for the last year have been used to build a powerful VST, Serato Sample.More advanced logic and modifiers, as well as basic features like cue point color matching for MIDI devices would be magical. MIDI Mapping Overhaul: It would be great to see a brand new take on MIDI mapping in Serato DJ.Looking at the current state of Serato DJ, here’s some speculation about what a new version could include: What Features Might Serato DJ Pro 2.0 Have?Īdd your ideas to this article! Can you think of a killer feature that SDJ 2 needs? Share it in the comments and we might add it to this article. Our best guess is that Serato DJ 2.0 will launch at NAMM 2018, which takes place in the middle of January. ![]() When the company has put previous versions of their software into a beta, it’s usually 1.5 – 3 months before the final version goes public. A beta user anonymously posted a screenshot of the software and the associated beta forum on Serato’s site – and let it leak that the new name for Serato DJ will be Serato DJ Pro. We can confirm that an upcoming version of SDJ is already in a private beta state. Serato DJ Pro 2.0 In Private Beta? A heavily-circulated screenshot of the official Serato Beta thread – note to Beta testers: don’t share screenshots if you want to stay in future betas □ It’s remained a closed system, meaning that only approved hardware is compatible with the software – but the number of approved devices has grown dramatically compared to what SSL and ITCH saw. Beyond FX packs, DJs can buy Serato Video, Serato Flip, Pitch ‘N Time DJ, DVS, Club Kit, and iOS control. Since 1.0, the software has built out their purchasable expansions. At the time, this was a very careful transition for the company, which had two divergent software platforms: Serato ITCH (for controllers) and Serato Scratch Live (for DVS users). It’s been over 5 years since Serato DJ 1.0 was released. We suspect this will be the last update to the software before Serato DJ 2.0.
