Serato DJ Pro hits v2.1.1 — it’s all about OSA
With each release, Serato edges the closed ecosystem's door just a little more open. This time remapping of official Serato accessories is a thing.
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.

The new RP-8000MK2 turntable is GAS-worthy enough. But when the Serato sandwich filling is the new Reloop Elite mixer, it suddenly gets more tasty.

Yesterday Technics played safe with the launch of the SL-1210 MK7. Today, Reloop has gone balls out with the Serato DJ Pro fuelled RP-8000 MK2.
Serato DJ Pro gets SoundCloud and TIDAL streaming, new Serato Play expansion pack, updated Rane firmware and support for the Mixars Primo.

Streaming is the next great hurdle in digital DJing. And SoundCloud has announced future integrations with Serato, Native Instruments and more.

Serato embraces the budget DJ again, and makes Numark's existing lightshow enabled Party Mix controller work with Serato DJ Lite.

You'd think that having the motherload of Rane DJ gear in front of them, JFB and Mr Switch would show some respect. But they just don't care.

New scratch tech can be daunting. Thus Rane and DMC have teamed up to present Scratch School, and short three date workshop tour of the UK.

Did I miss the memo where mixers became computers? Well Rane have a v1.2 firmware update for the Seventy Two. It even gets a HUD. Unreal.

It seems that while not exclusive, Serato and Pioneer DJ are still seeing each other. The continued dalliance has brought forth the updated DDJ-SX3, a Serato DJ Pro powered controller that adds dual USB, three mics, and a heap of refinements.

Given the veritable carpet bombing of social media with DJs pumping out routines, there needs to be something more to capture our attention. For me, being DJ Angelo is enough, but he's now raised the stakes by adding an extra pair of turntables but keeping the same number of arms.

After what feels like a dog's age, Rane and Serato have finally got themselves aligned, and have the SEVENTY TWO mixer and TWELVE players all packed up and ready for prime time. Oh wait... that's a different brand.
