Serato Announces Serato DJ 1.8 With Key Detection
Serato has just announced Serato DJ 1.8, one of the most significant updates to the software in recent years.
Included in the forthcoming version will be key detection and display, key shifting and sync, hardware remapping, as well as important performance and stability updates.
What this all means is that DJs will no longer need third-party software to analyze and display the root key of the songs in their libraries. Additionally, DJs who have bought Serato’s Pitch ‘n Time Pro plugin will be able to match, shift, and sync songs by key.
Another notable feature in Serato DJ 1.8 is hardware remapping, which enables DJs to customize parts of their controller for quick access to their favorite features.
The company’s press release states that Serato DJ 1.8 will be available at the end of October.
