In past versions of Serato, you needed to connect Serato-compatible hardware (eg controller, mixer, DVS interface) in order to “unlock” it so you have access to two decks. This is where you can mix with two decks, a crossfader, tempo controls, hot cues and your full library without any hardware connected to your laptop. Call me shallow (and ridiculously near-sighted), but this has got to be my favourite new feature! Practice ModeĪnother feature that’s been a long time coming for Serato is Practice Mode. Virtual DJ 8, djay Pro and Rekordbox DJ are just some of the apps that have high-resolution graphic interfaces, and we can now add Serato DJ Pro to that list (we’re still waiting on Traktor…).Īnother byproduct of the refreshed interface is crisper text – you won’t see any jagged fonts here, and that’s great news for people with poor eyesight such as myself, because it’s so much easier to read track names in a dark club without straining.

And it’s about time – the user interface of Serato DJ looked increasingly dated with each year that passed as high-resolution laptop screens became the norm and other DJ apps took advantage of that development. The most striking new thing in Serato DJ Pro is the overhauled interface: it looks slick and sharp, like you’re seeing everything in high definition.
