Jonathan Gonzalez Let It Go by Lorene Drive! Good ol classic from my high school days haha
@@NickSpinelli Thank you Nick. Much love from Houston tx and stay safe
Nick Spinelli any video on how to bring back old crate library after deleting and reinstalling serato DJ?
haha this video has just saved me soooo much time. The 'file locator' and 'send to trash' shortcuts have literally given me an extra year of my life
So clutch!!
I work with adults with disabilities and we have started to do monthly dances at our building. Last month was full of technical issues and ended up having to ditch the board + use Spotify to do the music (if y'all ever hear an off-beat/laggy echo through your master, make sure the "play through laptop speakers" is not enabled cause that was what the problem was)
But next week I will have my DJ board all set up to do a set with all the songs they like!! Not an aspiring 'club' DJ here but I like to play!!!
Man, you got a veritable backpack full of granola bars assortment of videos.

BROOO thankyou so much, this really helped and the tutorial was really easy to use as well :)
Great tips that I’m gonna try. Thanks!
Well done man thanks for the info!!! So helpful 🙏
Another good tip to stop you from loading a track on a playing one is in DJ preferences. Just check the called lock playing deck
Glad I found u! Got Serato this weekend and love it! your info is fun, clear, and understandable! thanks, Nick!
Thank you so much for this!
DUDE THIS WAS GREAT
Looking forward to that Flip tutorial. The little that you shared has me intrigued how I can take advantage of this feature
DJ CeeLos coming soon!

loops are life savers.
Thank you so much. I just learned some new stuff I didn't knew was actually so closed to me
Simply, Love the Energy. great video.

Dawg. THANK YOU! New DJ here, and you're bring me up to speed HELLA quick. Respect and honor, homie.
So glad bro. Good luck with DJ career!!!
Flip, is SUCH A GREAT GAME CHANGER!!!!! 100%
Facts!
That Command R shortcut is what I've been looking for! I used Rekordbox for a few years and have now moved back to Serato. It would drive me crazy that I could not easily go directly to the file like I could in Rekordbok (Rekordbox has a right click menu). Never could find this shortcut in Serato's documentation. Your channel is great. So much amazing info with no BS! Thank you for the awesome videos.
Thanks Dave!!! 🙏🏼
So great a lesson
Yuuuup!
Great video. I especially like the idea of labeling the songs. Stay safe
Lance Entertainment DJ thanks bro!
You give great advice my man thanks
Thanks Apollo!
That virtual DJ joke was 🔥🔥🔥🤪😁
plenty more where that came from!
nice tips :)
🗣PROTECT UR BANGERS!!! THOSE ARE 👉🏽UR BANGERS!!!
Thanks, great info
You bet!
Composer and the flip tips 🤯🤯🤯, thanks
You got it!
Good tip on the flips
Glad you liked it
Another Great Video Nick. You can also use Flip to create clean edits of songs. What I use it for at times is when I get a song that usually 13 year old mitzvahs kids ask for it typically only has a dirty version(even using record pools they won't have clean versions of certain rap songs). So i'll set cues at the explicit word and when flip is activated i'll hit the censor button on my mixer or controller at the moment the word is going to start and it will reverse the track and then keep going(similar to the auto roll technique) making a clean edit.It really comes in handy when I can't find a clean version on a record pool. Hope this helps.
That’s a great tip, thank you Jonathan!!
Best Video Ever.
Mike Moran yoooo thanks bro!
Dam bro this is super helpful, thanks man never taught if this
Dannys Tacos and DzDj Entertainment so glad you like it bro!!
I like this Guy I’m learning alot
Thanks George!
Nick i'm looking forward to your Virtual DJ short cuts tips and tricks video. Here's a quick tip. Click finder, locate the VDJ Icon and drag it to the trash can.(just kidding we love VDJ)
Thanks b
Vitual DJ ....bit nearly killed lol ....great info
Good stuff nick. Most important feature to me besides perfect tags. Is perfect beat grids for every track. I started on vinyl. Yes I’m old. But always embraced technology. Been on serato since version 1.1. I use every feature. Just cut my library from 100,000+ tracks to 50,000. Goal is 12,000 tracks with perfect tags and beatgrids saved loops and an 8 bar flip. This process will take 10 years minimum. Than I’ll do it all over again for my video library. If only serato or pioneer could streamline this process. Lexicon is great but the auto cue generator is rarely accurate.
Great content!
Could you make a video about online planners?
Really good ideas I love the composer column for wedding stuff.
What do you use in the Album Column ?
I find when I use grouping column it seems buggy in serato ! Things don’t always stay the same as iTunes column
Great Video Nick. I was wondering if you did a video or know were to grab the Serato Files and what files to grab in those locations and use them to duplicate your master PC to your back up PC. Also a ton of songs in my files that show the Song Name ect on my Pc are blank in the Library section of serato under Track.
Here in 2021....That flip shit is going to be life changing!!!
Heard thatttttt!
I've used Cmd Z and Cmd F for ever and never used it in Serato. Kickin' myself in the a$$!!! Thanks for the tips.
Glad to help!
Great info - Thanks!!
Can't wait for YOUR VDJ equivalent video..
Peace!
Dennis Bosse haha thank you! Don’t hold your breath too long!
Very cool stuff
I got to get using Serato flip now
Good reminder on the saved loops
I can never figure out how to save a loop to the pads section and activate .
You have to hit shift somehow
I use a Dj-sx2
Dj Allen shift loop activates your saved loops!
Great video Nick now if we can get Serato to change where the search tab is and put it closer to the center where songs actually populate it would be a great help and less if a stretch if you’re not using the shortcuts.
all workеd
4:04 @NickSpinelli 👍 that's good, i do this.
All djs should give you a "like" for that info alone [comments searching].
"this guy, youuu ..yes you"-Me saying this in Robert Deniro's voice.
-MB
Haha hell yeah!
Would you happen to know how to rearrange the position of the BPM column to appear as the FIRST column instead of the colour marker column? I would also like to drag the number column off the page .
Started using saved loops recently and won't go back. Need to try flip now. Love the commad+z feature idea
That is a lifesaver!
What music pool do you use?
Hey dj Nick can you do a video on how to use Autoplay explaining how to eliminate those seconds between the songs
Love the content Nick, I do have a question I can't seem to find the answer for. When looking at a create, how do you see the total time of the playlist? I can't seem to find it anywhere!
Now that is a feature Serato should add, there's unfortunately no way to tell to my knowledge
Hi, just a quick question for you. Is there any way I can marked phrases in serato dj bit grid?
What version of Serato are you using on this video? And thanks again.. Oh yeah
Hello and good afternoon from nigeria.
Thanks for the tricks on serato. But how can i switch between sampler banks using the keyboard on a laptop? Since i can’t use a mouse to perform that action because i am blind?
Thanks i await your responds. This is DJ aus j. The first blind dj in nigeria.
Bpm tap
and Flip for short edits. Thanks!!
Mike Bowns thank you for watching!
Yo, you know of any "Tips & Tricks" with the Pioneer S9 Mixer using Serato? Also Command+Shift+(either L or R Arrow) will load the Track Playing on the other deck exactly where it's at in the song. So if you have a scratch routine and you predominantly scratch with your R or L hand you can prep for that on the fly....
stuartwaynetv yooo thank you for this I didn’t know that one! You da man! And yeah I know a bunch of tricks with the S9 - maybe I’ll make a video all about the S9 in the future
Shit It Is ! Thank You ! Smeling Pretty ! dj in the dirt discOworm 70 years old
my mannnnn disc0worm!!!!
Good info. Some things in the library management are better in Rekordbox so there's still some room for improvement but this vid was informative.
i gotta mess with rekordbox
@@NickSpinelli WARNING!!!! As much as it is fun, it can be overwhelming at 1st. Not everything it does is as smooth as Serato, but their library management features are definitely the best when it comes to personalizing.
It's any possibility to add any sort of "notation" to songs BUT this notation to exist ONLY when the track is in a specific crate (Playlist)?
For example, I'm making some "color notation" of tracks that are placed in Crate1. But if I have the same songs in Crate2, i don't want to see the notation from Crate1 of the songs.
Not to my knowledge, all notations carry on from crate to crate
Hey Nick I just bought Serato DJ pro and I am a novice I don’t have any music download it in my playlist but I listen to music on Spotify give me a step-by-step instruction on how to convert my Spotify music to my Serato DJ playlist please I need to help
Having a problem with Serato recognizing my external hard drive, Don't know what to do
As always, great video. To bad VDJ does all those things one way or another! The first thing you talked about, putting a track on another track and it playing. VDJ will ask you if you want to do this before it even plays that song! But still great video!
Lol thanks Lou. VDJ really is the greatest!
@@NickSpinelli I know! Much better than PCDJ Red!
Lou Guzzo I miss my DAC2
That was good, but what about Rekordbox Dj
Rekordbox is growing on me but I've never used it and don't know much about it
Nick where the hell where you like 10 years ago I needed this whole shit button, how many train wrecks I could of saved lol.
Years, I use years to organize music from 80 to 90 etc
Haha yessss!
Nick you forgot to add the dreaded Q key. I can't tell you how many DJ's i have seen play songs in reverse and don't know how to fix it.
+sub
And if you where using rekordbox, 7 minutes was't enough to tell about it
most what i hate in Serato is that it don't have right click pop up where you can select everything you can do on selected area
so you must watch 5 times Nick's video to remember every tip
DJ Sergiu Bulgar RekordBox is my second favorite DJ software, I like it.
The only problem with Flip is I've pulled tracks from Pools that had Flips built in and didn't discover them till they bit me.
Haha that's the worsttttt
Hey if I wanted to ask you some personal questions with Serato Pro. Contact info or email?
Nami Gang weddingdjtips@gmail.com
I'm new and I'm resdy
A lot of good information, but would have rather see more physical demonstrations inside of the software, as opposed to just describing it
Best SERATO tips and tricks. Uninstall Serato and install Rekordbox
Serato bpm counter is not great and sometimes way off so i do find myself tapping things in once in a while.Sometimes there is no bpm.Sometimes no key oh and key is also kind of a rough guide .The other niggle is when im sorting crates and the bpm on the deck is not the bpm on the crate.That happens all the time but its usually in the ball park of what you are playing but when putting tracks in bpm order its annoying.Itend to think of Serato,s key and BPM as a rough gude to get your crates in some kind of order then you fine tune from there and that is a never ending task
Great tips! Just an add-on or two:
1. While you can save loops they will not auto "arm" when you load a track. Use [ to arm L deck loop, , for R track loop.
Flips will auto arm, go fig.
2. I did a 15:00 flip Ted talk fr ARMDJs 12 that covers remix & censor. Msg me on FB if you're interested.
3. I go one deeper with track comments...including first names and any crazy pronunciations
DNA Entertainment love this! Thanks man. HMU with that ted talk if you have a recording of it!
Vdj users on blast 😂😂😂
Broken Spoke lmao one of these days I’m gonna get a nasty email from them 😂
Wow Nick! I loved you. Now, just want to marry you! LOLL Thanks so much!
lmfao the command F..... all this F ucking years.....thanks
There are DJs using windows too....!!
Yes there is!
I look into your eyes, I fall in love..
That's what my girl tells me
Why the face stuff
White girl note. What about black girl note?
using comments section of song to write "white girl" is wild!
all my songs that have any f**king bad words I colored them with a red tag so I know not to play those songs at weddings or proms
All he things you said are old news... cmon.
DJ DC old news is better than fake news! Lmao
