Just a quick video teaching you how to analyze your songs in Serato DJ Pro.
Before any DJ gig you go to, you should be sure to make sure all of your music and songs are analyzed and ready to go.
If you don't you might have issues with corrupted music, or at worst, could cause serato to crash.
When you analyze your music in Serato DJ Pro, you will be pulling all of the music data like the BPM and the Key of the song.
Do not ever play a party if you have not analyzed your music first in Serato DJ Pro
Step 1 - download your music
Step 2 - Load music into serato DJ pro
Step 3 - turn controller OFF
Step 4 - hit analyze in the main Serato DJ Pro window
Step 5 - analyze your songs and music
Make sure your music is analyzed in serato 3.0, before any gig. This is something new DJs must make sure to do.
Analyzing your music in Serato should be the very first thing you ever do as a beginner DJ to make sure no issues ever happen live at your dj gigs.

I imported songs. Immediately analyze. Then played several songs, set metadata, and cue points. Then re-analyzed and exited Serato. When I open back up… the songs went back to track 1, track 2 etc and I could search for it like normal. Then when I reAnalyze that crate or single song, all the data returns.

Question for you, I dragged the playlist that I wanted to analyze into the appropriate box. The analysis completed after some time and worked perfectly fine. However, I later closed the Serato app and reopened the program. When I returned, all of the BPM and key data was gone. Is there a way to ensure it saves in the future? Or do I have to reanalyze every time I open the Serato app?

@TheDJConnect 11 ай бұрын

That's super weird man, I -WAS- having an issue with data being stored when serato stems beta was out, like 3.0 beta, But as soon as it became official it worked perfect. Where is the music coming from? What are the properties on the music? (like read only?) If you can't write to the file, it wont work, It will show that beside the track as well, a little icon

Hey, I am just starting out. I only have Serato DJ Lite and a laptop at this point. My music is stored on a hard drive labeled D. I create a crate for a specific genre. I drag an album into the crate created. However, when I attempt to analyze just that album, it pulls my entire music collection from Drive D. Any idea what I am doing wrong? My plan is to buy a cheap controller to practice, but I want to get things organized first. I have read that it is better to go folder by folder when bringing music into Serato. I appreciate your time.

@TheDJConnect Жыл бұрын

I'm not sure I understand The music must be stored in the path to the crate. So wherever it is in the external, You would drop the actual file into the crate

@peterruggeri3933 Жыл бұрын

Of course, I figure it out right after posting. I guess it happened because I still had the files tab opened when I selected analyze. Anyway, do you have any opinions on a good starting line DJ controller? I was considering the Pioneer DDJ-FLX4.

Ahhh hahahaha no worries at all ! So it's hard to say. What is your goal ? If it's only to play around and have fun, sure, But if you have the budget, get something real. More attachment to the result, Serato dj pro is free, Holds its value as well

This is great tutorial, but the way how Serato works is just awful. What is the purpose of having a streaming service like Tidal for instance if you can't accept request from the crowd. Imagine you get request that the song is one you don't have, the logical solution is to find it in Tidal right? But then you are stuck because you can't analyze the track and see the bpm, the key and mix it in a good way. Ill appreciate if you have an answer to this question.
