Serato DJ

Software for professional DJs

Serato is without any doubt one of the most important names in the audio processing industry and developer of some of the best professional music tools around. Not only has it created the world-famous Serato Scratch Live or SSL, but also Serato DJ, an audio mixing program focused on professional DJs and compatible with the Pioneer DDJ-SX controller, although you can also handle it with your mouse and keyboard.

A solid alternative to Traktor and Virtual DJ.

However, we have to admit that it's not an audio software appropriate for beginners, its functions haven't been conceived for beginners that have just arrived at the music mixing world, but are aimed at music professionals. But, how much does the full version of such professional software cost? Don't worry, nothing at all: it's free. If this price has convinced you to go ahead and try out all the features of the mixing software, we offer you its latest version: Serato DJ 1.9.5.

Main features

• Professional mixer with four decks and a well-designed user interface.
• A console with 8 cue points and different loops.
