Red Bull Masterclass: Serato Tips & Tricks via Serato
The team at Red Bull Auckland held a series of short masterclasses on various Serato DJ features recently. Get a little deeper into the software and learn how to use some great tools for working DJs.
These videos run through 5 different topics in Serato DJ including making DJ edits, new technology for club DJs, easter egg features, smart crates and MIDI mapping. Watch these videos and get some great professional advice on using the software effectively.
SERATO DJ EDITS, PRE-PREPARED AND LIVE
DJ Edits set you apart. They let you personalise your music, play it in the way you want to and take control – rather than letting your music control how you mix. In this session, Mak and Sam show you “Serato Flip” and “Beatjump”, two new features in Serato DJ that make this super easy.
NEW TECH FOR DJS
Serato DJ supports more club standard technology than ever. If you play clubs regularly, learn how you can use gear you’re likely to find in most venues with Serato DJ. We’ll show you how to make your life easier so you can focus on killing it.
HIDDEN GEMS
To access some of the most interesting hidden features back in Scratch Live you’d probably need to know Morse code or be a Street Fighter 2 pro…
We’ve taken the best hidden features in Scratch Live and made these official in Serato DJ. These are handy tools for working DJs! Learn all about Sticker Lock, AM Mode, EQ Coloured Waveforms and more.
SMART CRATES
Serato “Smart Crates” have been around for a while but are somewhat under utilised. They say if you’re organised you’re more efficient…
Watch the clip above to see some of the best ways we’ve seen them used to organise your Serato DJ music library and as a discovery tool.
BUILDING YOUR OWN FLOW: MIDI MAPPING
With so many great tools available to you, it’s more important than ever to be able to access these quickly and easily. While there are some great natively mapped devices out there, mapping your own can be very rewarding and give you something unique.
In this final episode of Red Bull Studios Master Class, Mak and Sam run through a couple of standard MIDI controllers and show you how you can build a great workflow for yourself.
