You should be aware that there are no cue or looping hotkeys avail for the third deck.ģ. However, without some sort of auto beat matching, few djs can manage combining three tracks for any prolonged period of time. Mixing between two decks while having a third track constantly ‘on deck’ can enhance your set programming greatly. I’ve heard of people using white noise or test tones in combination with effects to create cool swell effects. Although lacking ‘beat grids’, 2.0’s 3rd deck feature can be used to layer in samples, acapella and scratches. The Aux Deck plugin for SL 3 users enables you to DJ with 3 decks. Open the DJ FX panel button now visible above our library window.ĥ. Exit the set up and make sure you are connect to some flavor of Serato.Ĥ. Select the DJ FX plugin and click the selection box to enable.ģ.

Open the Setup window and click the Plugins tab.Ģ.

Lets hope they handle limiting the range on the loop parameter and relative linking of the new supernobs.ġ. Rumored to be refined in 2.1 the MIDI implementation is a bit junior and lacking in the customization dept. Although not as sophisticated as Traktor, Serato 2.0’s effects are a great step forward. It allows you to create and save new effects with the effects editor. The DJ FX Plugin for Scratch Live 2.0 has 2 FX units with 3 chained effects per unit.

I’ll briefly outline the above and hopefully give you some ideas on how to use them. They include a redesigned GUI, DJ FX, 3 decks (S元 box only), new display modes, Itunes-esque ‘Smart Crates’, online playlist publishing and export and advanced file management. Even though many Serato users have been using 2.0 for some time now you may not be aware of all the cool new features or how to take advantage of them.
