Serato has released the latest update for its Serato DJ Pro software, version 2.2.
With it comes a number of improvements and new features, including two which have been requested by users for many years: Day Mode and Play Count. Those features helped make the public beta of 2.2 the most downloaded in the company’s history.
Day Mode makes Serato DJ Pro easier to use in bright conditions, such as pool parties. Play Count enables users to keep track of the number of times a song has been played.
2.2 also includes updates to streaming integration, waveform improvements, and 64-bit support for Serato Video.
Serato DJ Lite, the beginner version of Serato DJ, also sees many of those changes, and is now up to version 1.2.
Serato DJ Pro 2.2 can be downloaded now on Serato’s website. You can also watch Mojaxx‘s first look below.
