Serato DJ Lite gets a bit heavier — now with beatgrids
Beatgrids are a standard fixture in all DJ software. And now Serato DJ Lite has finally caught up. In-app training wheels are now included too.
Since its inception in 1999, Serato has been at the cutting edge of audio software innovation, enabling DJs, producers and artists to take their creativity and performance to the next level. The brand’s first-ever product, Pitch ’n Time, has become the industry standard for time-stretching audio and forms the backbone of the company’s core product, Serato DJ. One of the most widely used and powerful DJ software tools available today, Serato DJ is constantly updated with new features and is revered by the most iconic DJs of our time. Serato has also established itself as a leading brand in music production with Serato Sample and Serato Studio, which have become go-to tools for Sample-based producers and beat-makers alike. In 2022 and 2023, Serato transformed the industry once again through the introduction of its real-time stem-splitting technology Serato Stems across its product range, to global and industry acclaim. Serato’s advanced suite of music production tools provides creators with endless possibilities for producing, sampling and remixing music that will continue to drive culture forward.

After a week of leaks, Pioneer DJ's XDJ-XZ is here. But it's not at first glance what you might think it is. We dig into what it is and isn't.

It's been promised to the point where I stopped asking. But the Serato DJ Pro update for the Denon DJ SC5000M Prime is out, and for Prime 4 too.

DJs have been hit hard by the launch of macOS Catalina. And while Serato et al update their apps, it seems your hardware may not be so lucky.

Serato only DDJ-SP1 became the rekordbox only DDJ-XP1, which in turn has just spawned the dual fuelled DDJ-XP2 for rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro.

Preempting the release of a macOS update is PR telling you not to update. Serato is the first, but the death of iTunes makes this a tricky update for DJ software companies.

Despite the leakage, nobody should be surprised that Pioneer DJ and Serato have capitalised on the success of the original, and present the DDJ-1000SRT.

Numark bucks the trend for ultra expensive Serato DJ Pro mixers with the Numark Scratch. But is it up to scratch? Bad puns and review courtesy of DJWORX.

Each time a Serato DJ Pro mixer is announced, wallets all over the world run and hide. But the Numark Scratch is one that wallets will literally run towards.

Another to file under because why the hell not, Crosley meets Phase meets Raiden to make the ultimate in portable DVS.

DJing and production workflows are awkwardly pushed together with little real synergy. But the new Serato Studio software aims to make it a tad smoother.

Denon DJ's Prime 4 unit dominated NAMM. And now we want to muse over just what the launch of a true four channel standlone unit means for the future.
