Serato DJ

After nearly three weeks of public testing, Serato has released the official version of Serato DJ 1.9.5. The highly anticipated update adds support for Pioneer DJ’s CDJ-2000NXS2 player and DJM-900NXS2 mixer.

Matt Cleland, Serato’s Product Planner, said in the press release:

“This update is huge for working club DJs as it provides support for two pieces of kit that many DJs will encounter on a nightly basis. With the Serato DJ Club Kit license, DJs can now connect directly to the Pioneer DJ DJM-900NXS2 mixer without the need for a separate interface. Two USB connections on this mixer also means changeover is easier than ever. As well as this, the CDJ-2000NXS2 will also control Serato DJ in HID mode via USB connection.”

Also included are a number of minor changes and stability improvements, including memory optimizations for better performance.

Serato DJ 1.9.5 can be downloaded here.

More information about the Serato DJ Club Kit license can be found here.

Using Serato DJ’s Beat Jump Feature for Blends

Serato DJ’s Beat Jump feature, which was introduced in version 1.7.4, enables DJs to jump forward and backward in tracks while staying in time. It gives DJs more time to mix, as they can skip straight to the track’s hook and other sections.

On this week’s episode of Tips and Tricks, Mojaxx shares a creative technique for using the feature for blends. Watch above.
