Your First Day With Serato DJIn this week’s article, we walk you through your first day with Serato DJ; getting it installed on your computer, hooking up your controller, and getting your music onto it. In this week’s instalment of our ongoing “Your First Day With…” series, we get our hands dirty with Serato DJ. As in the previous article for Virtual DJ 8, we show you how to get the software up and running on your computer, how to get your music library onto it, and how to hook up your controller so you can get on with DJing! Serato is known to be one of the simpler DJ apps to set- up, but it still has some idiosyncrasies all its own, so if you’re still unsure of how to make it work on your system or if it’ll work with your controller, then this article is for you. Serato DJ vs Serato DJ Intro (vs Serato Scratch Live, too!)If you’re new to Serato’s ecosystem, you may be confused by the company’s numerous offerings.

Serato Scratch Live. Serato Scratch Live is the company’s former flagship software. I also recommend upgrading to Serato DJ as Scratch Live will be discontinued in 2. Oh, and it’s a free upgrade, too! Serato Scratch Live was formerly the company’s flagship software for DVS (digital vinyl system) users. It has since been replaced by Serato DJ, which is now for all users. Sale of this software has been discontinued, and official support for it will cease after 2. If you’re using Serato Scratch Live at the moment, you can upgrade to Serato DJ for free, provided the hardware you’re using is compatible with Serato DJ.

If you bought a controller that comes bundled with Serato DJ or Serato DJ Intro, go ahead and install it using the CD that came with your package. If yours didn’t come with a CD (or you don’t have a CD drive on your laptop), download the Serato DJ installer or the Serato DJ Intro installer from the Serato website. Always remember to choose the proper installation file that matches your computer (Tip: You’re using a Mac if you see an Apple icon on the upper left of your screen. If you’re on a PC, you’ll see a window icon on the lower left of your screen.)Once you’ve downloaded it, go to your “Downloads” folder and double click on the Serato DJ/Intro installer. If you’re on a Mac, the file is called “Serato DJ X. X. X. dmg” (Serato DJ Intro X. X. X. dmg if you’re installing Serato DJ Intro. X’s will be number depending on the current version.

You should be able to see a file called “Serato DJ X. X. X. exe“. Once you’ve opened the installer, allow it to “Run” when prompted. If you’re on a PC, choose the “Typical” set- up type when you are prompted to do so. For Mac users, just double click on the installer file. A new window pops up with the Serato DJ/Intro icon, which you just drag to the Applications folder beside it. Done! Getting Serato DJ installed on your computer is a straightforward procedure: On a Mac, just drag the Serato DJ icon over to the Applications folder. For the rest of this article, I’ll be referring to both Serato DJ and Serato DJ Intro as “Serato DJ”. Connecting your DJ controller. Unlike other DJ software that can run standalone, you need to connect your DJ controller in order to mix properly with Serato DJ.To be able to mix with Serato DJ, you need to connect your DJ controller when using it.Although it’s possible to use the app without a compatible device connected, you’ll only be able to play one track at a time, and the interface looks a little bit different from the usual Serato DJ interface. there. This is meant more for library organisation, playlist creation, and track preview instead of an actual DJ performance.Connect your DJ controller using the supplied USB cable.Plug one end to your laptop’s USB port and the other in your controller’s. If your controller comes with a power adapter and requires it for use, connect that as well to ensure proper functionality. When in doubt, consult your DJ controller’s manual. If it hasn’t power up already, turn your controller on by pressing/flicking its switch. Again, consult your controller’s manual if you’re unsure how to do this. Connect your controller’s main outputs to your speakers. Creating an account and activating Serato DJCreate a My Serato account to activate Serato DJ on your computer and to gain access to add- on packs sold by Serato online.

Launch Serato DJ by double clicking on its icon on your desktop. If you’re on a Mac, you can find the icon in the Applications folder. Once the app has launched, click on the “Buy/Activate” button on the lower right side of the screen. Enter your e- mail address and click Continue.

Do note that this isn’t available to you if you’re using Serato DJ Intro. In use. One of the things that DJs love about Serato DJ is that getting it up and running takes a minimum of fuss. If you see some tracks in your library, go ahead and drag them onto one of the virtual decks and press the play button on your controller. You can probably hear something by now (remember to set your crossfader in the middle and your volume faders up!), but it’s also important to make sure that your music library is properly set- up and recognised within Serato DJ. Getting your music onto Serato DJLet’s get your songs loaded onto Serato DJ. As in the Virtual DJ 8 article, there are three ways to do this: You can drag and drop from within Serato DJ’s browser, from the i. Tunes tree within Serato DJ, or by dragging a song from the Finder window (Mac) or Windows Explorer (PC). Browser – On the lower left side of the screen you’ll see a window with a list of folders (eg All, All Audio, All Videos, etc.). This is the browser list, and clicking on any of these folders populates the window in the middle of Serato DJ’s screen with songs that are contained within that folder. This lists all the audio and video files that Serato DJ sees on your hard drivei. Tunes – At the bottom of the browser you’ll find a folder called i. Tunes. This is where all the playlists and music you have stored in i. Tunes resides, which is good news if that’s what you use to organise your music because you can just choose songs from this list as if you were picking within i. Tunes. Drag & drop – You can also just drag a song from your hard drive (Finder for the Mac, Windows Explorer for the PC) onto any of the virtual decks located at the top of the Serato DJ screen. Without a compatible DJ controller connected, this is what Serato DJ’s interface looks like. You can’t mix with two decks here, but this is where you can analyse all the songs in your music library.
