It’s such a far cry from Serato DJ’s previous Offline Mode, in fact, that Serato even suggests that you can mix with Practice Mode in a pinch in case your controller malfunctions during a gig (you won’t be able to use headphone cue, of course). It’s handy for prepping before a show and practising your mixes without the need for any hardware to “unlock” it. This is the update that Serato users have long waited for: the new Practice Mode gives you two virtual decks, tempo and sync controls, a crossfader and access to your entire Serato DJ library. Finally, Serato DJ Pro also gets a new 2×4 cue point layout that mirrors what you’d usually find on a contemporary DJ controller. Other features include the ability to have even larger Serato music libraries thanks to the included 64-bit support that lets Serato DJ Pro and Serato DJ Lite access and make better use of your computer’s memory and processing. An overhauled high-resolution user interface makes its way to the apps, which means you now get crisp text that’s easier to read and sharp graphics. The major update to both apps include a raft of new features: Practice Mode lets you mix with two decks and a crossfader without any hardware connected, making it perfect for testing out blends and practising when you’re on the move.


After months of speculations and leaks, they’re finally here: Serato just announced the release of its Serato DJ Pro and Serato DJ Lite apps, which are brand new overhauled versions of Serato DJ and Serato DJ Intro respectively.
