Great review, Joey! Reviewing this can be boring, but you did it effectively and concisely. 👍 10/10

This is great! From the best dj program in the business just keeps getting better. Great job serato

Thank you for sharing this video sir! I agree with some of the other DJs Serato is charging 40 dollars for this package is ridiculous.

Great video, thank you for sharing

Great overview Joey👍🏼 but I stumbled on the biggest features of Serato Play last night that no one is talking about. The ability to use record/FX/Sampler without hardware! That’s huuuge.

Can u use the slicer, pad scratch and fade in Serato play ?

how do you, use the spleter with out hearing it coming out ?

I put myself a beta, but there is no serato play there ... when will it appear in beta?As far as I understand, it is not yet available in the beta version?

It's really crazy this used to only cost $40 to own this extension and now you have to rent it monthly for $10 which is a whopping $120 a year 🤯 pre-subscription days were the best

Is the splitter a special type? does it matter what output to plug the headphones in?

very best tips for serato DJ pro

so cool joey

Hey Joey , I have downloaded the beta version and I have subscribed to the Serato Dj suite which gives me all the expansion packs but I don’t see serato playi am using MacBook Pro 2012

Can you use serato play on Dj lite if so do you have a tutorial you recommend thank you for your timer tutorial for great

the serato play is not working for me. even with they splitter im getting both cue and master sound

Why charge for this, it should be a free update

There's a little delay between pressing on any key and the corresponding action on Serato. Is this normal ? It's pretty noticeable and it causes confusion.

would like to see ah vid of how u set up the splitter cable.

+digital D.J. tips What brand splitter do you show in this video? Thanks

I see in this Video that your Master Volume is all the way up? Do U recommend for us to max it while playing in the internal mode ?

Great video as always Joey, too bad they don't slap those regular track volume faders onto the interface. When I saw the title of this video, I thought It's the time for me to try out Serato DJ. I'm a Traktor user and i love Traktor for allowing users to comprehensively prep and practice with all the essential knobs and faders found on a DJ mixer without a controller I think Serato should've slapped those volume faders. Much love from Indonesia!

Once again, another feature Virtual DJ has for free from the first version lol wow. Welcome to the club Serato

I'm not sure if it is a common issue going right now. I actually can't find the download link to the serato 2.1 beta and the current version I have right now is the 2.0.5 which doesn't display the the new integration. Did they recently cancel the beta? I've seen previous comments with the same type of issue.

Can I use serato software to just play my playlist without using the turntables? For example, I want to load 100 tracks and just use my mixer and speakers.

Hi, do you have the video on hooking up hardware?

Which headphone splitter to you recommend for this application? Have an amazon link?

So if i only purchase Serato Play (i don't own any other Serato products) do I get to stream music from Soundcloud and Tidal???

I had to purchase VDJ full license (299 $ ) just for the automix function ,because serato has not woken up yet, so now at weddings I use VDJ for the ( predrinks and supper ) and when the floor opens switch form VDJ to SDJ and start. I have suggested to catch up to RB, VDJ and Tactor but all I got is loads of resistance for our DJS and now my MC 7000 obsolete because of Serato play I wonder what the purest are going to say

o how can i cue up the next song without altering or affecting the sound coming out???

Hey Joey, thanks for this tutorial. Quick question, do you know if silicone shortcut keyboard pads are available for purchase? Thanks

hi i hope you can answer my problem how come my serato play wont activate on my other laptop when i log into my account then you'll see the activate 10 products but on my other laptop only 9 products serato play is missing

I can't seem to find it, Can u send us a link for a Serato DJ "Play " Keyboard shortcut color cover, I see a Scatch Live color cover online, but not a Serato DJ Play Keyboard short cut cover. Thanks

Samsung 11.6 chrome book. Has usb can u connect it to that laptop long it has usb

Serato DJ has finally turned virtual dj, i was wondering how long they were gonna hold out. guess every software follows Virtual DJ after a while. and why is serato charging for this ?

can't find where to download the Serato Play. Is it available for free DJ Pro version?

And how to adjust the pixel or resolution of the serato DJ pro?

why i dont have the first setting? i dont have cue for headphone..and nothing about "mid low hi"

I recon I have a bad splitter cable as I have both tracks playing through the speaker...tried every possible set up. I just wanna mix with just the main track playing. Any tips. I'm using Serato Pro via my laptop....

with play can i use a audio interface like a Scarlett box instead of a headphone splitter?

None of my hot keys work - the functions only work via my Mouse.? any idea's?

What's the link on the dj splitter cable. Thanks in advance

what if you don't have serato dj pro, will it work with an older version serato dj?, cos if it does then that way cool but if it doesnt then that really sucks...

Hey ! How do you have tidal on serato please. I don’t Know how it work. :(

You still have to plugged in a hardware for the two decks to show ?

Can you use a blue tooth headphone instead of a dj jack?

Any thing on the headphone

To many buttons to remember who remembers the good old days using proper decks with vinyl

Sorry.....you may not be able to answer my question but I just purchased pioneer dj decks and noticed this video shows you can mix directly from your laptop w/o them..😣😣😣....but my question is that I downloaded Serato DJ software and it's not displaying the dual tables on my screen to play even if I did purchase the Serato play

How to change the wave from horizontal to vertical?

When will the Serato Play Expansion pack be available for purchase?

Wow, this is a free feature in Mixxx (open source DJ software), always has been.

How Do i get serato play?

Very Nice! "Borat Voice".

can you use fx in Serato Play

How were you able to split ypur screen and show Serato and your controller while making this video?

I don't like CROSSFADER set up for SCRATCH . can serato update the CROSSFADER for smooth transition , put the volume...

Where do you buy expansion packs and how you activate them, been trying to find a video on how to do it

Is there anything like Serato Play but free and for windows ?

Can it be midi map with any controller..

crossfader hot cues aren't working for me. Am I missing something here?

Can you use any splitter cable or it's called DJ splitter cable (asking for a friend...me)

Virtual D.J. was able to do this like 15 years ago. Nice try Serato, but you’re still playing catch up. Everything you have to pay extra for, has always been FREE with Virtual DJ ever since the beginning. I’ve been using Virtual DJ for over 15 years, and love it. I have Serato Pro too now, but that’s because it came with my Pioneer controller. I still use it and have Serato installed as a back up, although I’ll probably never have to use it. Virtual DJ has never crashed or had any problems ever, the best DJ program EVER !

I think I miss this but I'm going to ask can i record with Serato Play ?

Can I record in Serato Play. If so How?

I can't believe they charge money for this! Makes me want to buy Virtual DJ.

This is useful if you forget your usb wire

And yet they look down on VDJ. VDJ has given this feature 100% free for as far as I can remember and you only get to pay if you 're using a hardware. This is by no means a fanboy talk cos I use both SDJ and VDJ (mostly SDJ hence it's required by my clients). Although SDJ seems to be more hyped and recognised in Djing, VDJ offers a whole lot more and seem to be far ahead in terms of features and innovations. To me it appears as if SDJ do not worry about innovation, rather they tend to use all their resources for viral marketing and to remain at the top while adding features that has been on VDJ for decades as their update (they 're copycats in my opinion). It's unfortunate that in real world nowadays people don't seem to value things of its free, cheaper or value for $£, but tends to worship celebrity/youtuber promoted stuff (which they get paid for to advertise), viral or overrated/hyped products and services. SDJ is a good software, am only speaking in terms of features and innovations. I don't think there 're important feature on SDJ that VDJ did not have years earlier but there 're plenty important features on VDJ that even core SDJ users wished they have. They may not admit it publicly. I think VDJ should up their game in marketing cos innovation and feature wise, they 're No1

Would i still have to purchase serato play even if i have serato dj suite already?

hello how can i get that cable to buy

Serato Dj is just an upcoming DJ software, Virtual Dj is the king

How to download serato play softwer?

Traktor does this freeeeee!!

My only complaint is that you should be able to hold a key down and use the track pad in a circular motion to scratch.

never purchased this and its not showing up I have the latest Serato dj pro too

Whoever makes a keyboard shortcut cover for Serato Play is going to be super rich$$$$$$$

When will this be available?

Serato vs Rekordbox.. Which the best?

Oh wow.... Serato is now catching up huh...

Only for mac vtf??? :(

All these supposed expansions and updates and we still after so many years cannot get a proper library search or create creation and manipulation options that are comparable to the ones available on other DJ software :( .... 1. Creating crates from Folder structure . --- It only took me a month and a half to crate my whole library after switching to serato. 2. Searching the whole library without going back to "All Audio" ---- Easily done with button options for "all library OR This Crate" . Half of my searches still come back with no results .. E.G: IF my song is called 'Come 2 me' but i type 'come to me', I have no results.. There's no reason the engine shouldn't be able to automatically subtitute wildcards and give all possible results for Come * me .. May sound like asking for too much but Virtual DJ search would find it easily. 3. Better and faster BPM analysis ---- Virtual DJ still reads bpm with fairly good accuracy in 25% of the time it takes Serato. Make the current options better before adding fancy expansions that ya'll are years behind with ANYWAY.

Is it midi compatible?

This is absolute madness other software like VDJ and Traktor had these features as standards for years. Serato should be ashamed for charging his loyal customers for what should have been a free update. Greed greed greed nothing but greed 🤦🏾‍♂️

Virtual dj 🤔 Is that you?

Damn I was excited until I seen that cross fader blend...no offense but that was bad...thats the most important thing....i do small gigs like bars and small clubs..i got to atleast be able to do smooth transitions...i was about to buy this

needs channel volume fader

ALERT!!! Don’t do the same mistake I did. I ran out to Best Buy and bout a 3.5mm Y splitter and it didn’t work for me because I purchased the wrong cable!! You literally need a Dj Splitter so it works well with the headphone option in Serato Play!

I’ll stick with traktor I don’t want to pay for this when I can get it free with other software

Thats why I bought a DJ2GO2 for a few weeks ago. Bummer.

are you portuguese?

Traktor let’s you do this from your 49/99 dollar upgrade. Without having to spend extra $

this is now a free expansion go ahead and download it

VDJ has this feature already lol. They should literally just make Serato DJ as simple to use as virtual DJ, so many years in the game and they still don't understand a majority of users prefer simplicity over technicality anyday smh

Who is this guy

Yeah, virtual dj has this feature free, but virtual dj cost $300

It's not worth it to buy serato play due to complicated features . i just prefer vdj for laptop mixing and serato for live dj controller hardware. (for me and my opinion)

It's stupid that serato pro can't just have all those functions. Serato just sound money hungry

VirtualDJ do it for free I don't understand why people pay for that lol

I could see MAYBE charging 10-20 dollars but 40 is just being greedy and a slap in the face. I’ll probably buy it though. Lol

a idiotic invention...without access to audio & midi setting, is equal to 0

I left serato long ago, surprised how many people that haven't seen the light and this website all they do is promote this tired program.
