Serato DJ is replacing Serato ITCH as the company’s all-in-one controller companion software, and it gives a ton of new features to those controllerists in one fell swoop. With Serato DJ, the New Zealand DJ company now faces a similar balancing act. Since then, Ableton Live has had to balance the growth of its amazing feature set with the maintaining of user friendliness. It’s a bit of a simplification, but besides sharing a similar visual aesthetic, the two programs seems to share the goal of presenting incredible options for musical creativity while keeping the interface as unintimidating as possible.

When Serato ITCH for DJ controllers debuted several years ago, I sized it up as being to DJ software what Ableton Live was to digital audio workstations (DAWs).
With the new software, new hardware is coming out to support it, and the support for MIDI Mapping with secondary controllers, Serato DJ will probably attract a lot of consideration not only from existing users, but also DJs looking to switch from another platform. It’s hard to imaging any ITCH user who wouldn’t want to step up to Serato DJ right away.
The Bottom Line:Simply put, Serato DJ 1.0 makes gigantic improvements over ITCH. No keyboard shortcuts for certain layout options. Not the same depth of effects choice of Traktor. The Bad: Still tied to approved hardware. Serato Video support (Serato Video plug-in comes free with Serato DJ for a limited time). New interface with excellent variety of layout options. MIDI Mapping and secondary controllers are supported. The Good: Four decks of mixing in addition to the SP-6 sampler. Mac: OS 10.6.8 or higher, Intel 2 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU for 32-bit use, Intel 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU for 64-bit use, 2 GB RAM (32-bit), 4 GB RAM (64-bit), USB 2.0 port, 1280×720 or higher screen resolution Windows: Windows 7, Intel 2 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU for 32-bit use, Intel 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU for 64-bit use, 2 GB RAM (32-bit), 4 GB RAM (64-bit), USB 2.0 port, 1280×720 or higher screen resolution. Price: Free (but for use with approved controllers only)Īvailability: Now available for the Pioneer DDJ-SX, with upgrades from Serato Itch for other controllers coming soon With 4 decks, way better effects (courtesy of iZotope), 8 cue points and 8 loops per track, BeatGrid adjustment, the SP-6 sampler, and support for MIDI Mapping and Serato Video, Serato DJ has instantly made a Serato-based controller much more compelling.
