4 жыл бұрынLaptop-Only DJ Routine Demystified & Explained - You Can Do This! (3 of 3)
See what's possible DJing with just a laptop! Using Serato Play and Serato DJ Pro, I perform a short routine and annotate everything so you can easily understand what's happening. DJing with just your laptop isn't hard, and it's great to know how to DJ this way.
This is the third part of a mini-series on how to get Serato software for free, set it up, and start laptop DJing for yourself. The other parts are:
Part 1: • How To Get Serato DJ P... - How To Get Serato DJ Pro & Serato Play Free (For Laptop-Only DJing!)
Part 2: • DJ With Just Your Lapt... - How To DJ With Just Your Laptop For Free With Serato DJ Pro & Serato Play
There's a full tutorial article on Digital DJ Tips too, going into more detail on all of the above. It's here: www.digitaldjtips.com/2020/04...

This is so cool. Much better than when I was a teenager, and opening multiple instances of Winamp and using the volume controls to "cross-fade". lol I was actually pretty good at it though, adding echos and other effects via plugins. RIP Winamp.

Thanks Phil and Serato, I've always wanted to just be able to play around on my Mac like this. This is perfect and I just had a go, so much fun. Rekordbox doesn't seem to be as well designed for laptop play as Serato is.

This is ace. The third video makes it all clear. The loops are a good trick to bring in the next track. I've been trying to beat match and finding it quite hard. I need more practice. If you have any tips using the keyboard please let me know. I'm hopefully going to do a live set on Microsoft Teams soon. Cheers

DDJ-200 is actually quite bad. You would be getting the most bang for your buck if you get yourself either a DDJ-400 or a DDJ-SB3, to be your first controller. I actually just bought a 400 and started learning.
