I just tested it and you can use your mouse to click right before the part you wanna skip and then hit the cue point to part you want and it will skip it! You can even pause and adjust when you to skip. No need to wait for the whole song to play out😁👍🏽
Great tutorial! Can you also make proper clean versions using Serato flip with the new Stems feature? I used to make them using the reverse trigger, but can't seem to get it to work with the Stems buttons
Of course, you dont have to wait as he did. The flip records cue that you press, the position where you press a cue, so you can mouse jump to the part you want just before you gonna hit the cue for the flip you are recording. But its important to start your flip recording on your first cue point for the track so that the "whole" track is recorded as a flip not just a part of it (if you recorded only a part of it as a flip, you would need to activate the flip manually while playing the track if you want the flip to happen but if you record the whole track as a flip, by starting with your true first cue point to trigger the flip recording start, then you gonna just load the flipped track which is starting as normal atnyiur first cue point - just try both ways and you gonna unserstand the logic). What is more important is that you dont have to worry about the cues you are adding for making rhe recording of all your flips. Once your flip is recorded and you are happy with your new re-arranged track version, you can delete any of the additional cues you made for the flip if there were just markers and you dont really need them, apart for easying your flip recording. The track will still be flipped how you did with the now deleted cue ponts so you dont have cues you dont need, that were just there for recording easier the flips you wanted to do,, freeing your pads again to put more normal cues. Whats more is that you can make all desired flipped at once, you can extend the track as he showed and on the same flip recording, you make the shorter version and a hook first version and short. The flip track that has is all. You can of course name your flips so you know which one is doing what. One thing is that you cant "edit" your recordes flips. Its means you have to make it all in "one take", you cant for exemple start with creating your extend version, then using this to create a short version, you have to do both in the same flip recording, everything you want for the track to happen in one flip recording.
So what i do : Put the very first cue point as i would normaly do. Put some cues as markers where i need to hit the cue i want the track to jump to another cue. When my markers (cues are used to mark the exact points when i need to hit the cue i want to jump to), i load the track and hit record for the flip. I hit the very first Cue point, the flip recording starts and my flipped track will start at my first cue point, just like a normal track. BUT I DONT "PLAY" THE TRACK, no need. I stay in pause and fast forward to my next marker i did (coz i cant hit the cue to go there, it will be recorded). Once i am there exactly, where i want the flip to happend, i hit the real CUE where i want the track to jump to. Remember i am on pause, the track is not playing. I fast forward (or backward) again to the next marker, once there i hit the nect real cue i want the track to go.. and so on. Once its done, on the last one i finally hit "play" to tell serato i am done and i click on save the flip. Then i check and if its nice, i delete all the cues that i use for preparing my flip recording and name the flip so i know what it is (No Bridge, No Drake, Hook First, Short Mix, Super Short, Extra Extended, Quick Hitter, No Hook, Hooks Only, Punch Lines Twice, whatever). Then i load again the track as normal, and i finally NOW create all the real cues i really want for the track. The flip recorded will work, even though i delete cues, there is no need to have a physical cue point at the places where the track flips. You also dont need "Quantize" because you dont hit the cues while the track is playing, in fact you just go to the point where you want to flip manually and on "pause" and since the track is on pause you go exactly where you want to jump to happen and hit the destination cue, no stress at all, no miss possible in hitting cue "at the right moment". Just go there with track on pause and hit the destination cue you want to jump to. Remember, before saving, put the track finally on play, you have to be playing the track to save what you just did. But you dont need it to be on play while you hit the destinations cues. Only at the final stage once all your destinations are done. Hope this helps and clarify the process. Its really easy and very fun, once you know the efficient workflow. You gonna be flipping tracks under a minute. The long part is to imagine what you want to do actually, not making the flips themselves. Then you gonna realise that ideas are great in theory but less in practise, but with experience you gonna know already what can be done and what will be a loss of time before trying to do it :) Thats it, its long enough, bravo if you read, you know a PhD in serato flip. Maybe he will do an part 2, it will be more easy to understand what i am saying.
Another great tutorial, thanx for all these tips. Only thing I'll add is on the second tip about skipping a verse, you don't have to play the track all the way through. You can use the trackpad/mouse to skip to near the point you want to flip. Flip doesn't record tp/mouse clicks. You can even use the tp/mouse to click, hold the waveform, and scroll through the track to line urself up properly.
Hey PDot! Fellow Vegas DJ. Question on this. With what you are doing here using FLIP, if I wanted to save a mashup I created, it could be saved using this same method, yeah?
That's awesome! Thank you for going outside the norm and actually teaching deep features. Please teach how to make samples. I want to use my name drop like I used to with my ns7ii 4 decks butbrev7 only has 2 so I have to have a separate playlist for drops
When Serato released their stems, I got capped on 🤦🏻♂for suggesting Serato somehow incorporating it into FLIP 🤦🏻♂ [I'm pretty sure VDJ has stems incorporated into their POI Editor feature] It would be easier not having to remember when to cut out a certain stem from thousands of FLIPs (unless you're doing a short routine) 🤷🏻♂ and btw, Serato FLIP >>> Rekordbox Edit Mode
The difference is that Rekordbox edit mode will make you export your edit, meaning you'll have to add all the meta data back AND it takes up more room on your computer's storage.
Personally, this is something I feel should be done at home while organizing your music and doing your homework. You can't incorporate this in your LIVE DJ set...FYI.
@bboymac84 not in a Caribbean party. The average length of a song play is a minute, and I do not see myself trying to make any edits live. I've used flip and you have to play and record what your going to edit. You'll more than likely be recording/playing more than one minute of the song that you are trying to edit for the next mix.....
I just tested it and you can use your mouse to click right before the part you wanna skip and then hit the cue point to part you want and it will skip it! You can even pause and adjust when you to skip. No need to wait for the whole song to play out😁👍🏽
That's a cool find. I was saying that sliding the tracks into Serato studio would be quicker. But this changes things
@@DJ.Kvn_ yea this is much faster
It's crazy that so many Serato users don't know about this feature. It's great to have.
Forgot Serato flip was a feature, thanks for this!
same here brother ! =]]
I love using it.
Especially with stems now.
Flip is a big part of my arsenal.
It’s super helpful!
That’s sick! Pdot always comin thru with the tech!
Hi again Thank You for this video you gave me another option to use in Flip ! Always good stuff
Thank you for taking the time to watch!
Great Tip bro! Definitely will start incorporating Serato flip in my sets.
It definitely has become a mainstay in my sets when using Serato!
Maybe a video on how to properly quick mix.
Thanks. Useful video. Really should be part of Serato Pro standard.

That’s what I needed to hear. Always do a flip from the first cue point. That way when you load a track it will be playing the flip.
Thank you!
Another thing I needed to learn from SeRaTo. 💪👍💯
It is a cool feature. I use it also to pay a beat of parts of song and bring in. Acapella on top of it
what model of kali audio monitors are you using?
Another great tutorial, thanx for all these tips. Only thing I'll add is on the second tip about skipping a verse, you don't have to play the track all the way through.

Thank you for the additional information!
i like put a lot of tracks in my mixes, so the “flip” feature comes in handy. i can shorten a lot of songs 😄
Hey PDot! Fellow Vegas DJ. Question on this. With what you are doing here using FLIP, if I wanted to save a mashup I created, it could be saved using this same method, yeah?
How do you remove the flip?
What edit is this?
That's awesome! Thank you for going outside the norm and actually teaching deep features. Please teach how to make samples. I want to use my name drop like I used to with my ns7ii 4 decks butbrev7 only has 2 so I have to have a separate playlist for drops
👍🏾👍🏾
When Serato released their stems, I got capped on 🤦🏻♂for suggesting Serato somehow incorporating it into FLIP 🤦🏻♂ [I'm pretty sure VDJ has stems incorporated into their POI Editor feature]
It would be easier not having to remember when to cut out a certain stem from thousands of FLIPs (unless you're doing a short routine) 🤷🏻♂
and btw, Serato FLIP >>> Rekordbox Edit Mode
I’d LOVE to see them add stem control AND beat jump controls
Just let you know you don't have to listen all the song. When you do de first cue you can use the beat jump fonction to the next cue
Can you make a video about if open format is “dead”? I saw a few IG reels about that subject lately. Seems like a hot topic in the DJ community.
Love the tutorial but I feel like doing the edit in Serato studio would be faster than even listening to the track until the flip is used!
How you play diff flips?
Click the flip icon next to hot cue icon. You can make a max of 6 flips
You have the edit mode in Rekordbox that pretty much does the same thing
The difference is that Rekordbox edit mode will make you export your edit, meaning you'll have to add all the meta data back AND it takes up more room on your computer's storage.
might use this as some tracks have a useless verse
Personally, this is something I feel should be done at home while organizing your music and doing your homework. You can't incorporate this in your LIVE DJ set...FYI.
You can get it done live actually. If your doing multiple tracks it’s best to do at home during prep
@bboymac84 not in a Caribbean party. The average length of a song play is a minute, and I do not see myself trying to make any edits live.
I've used flip and you have to play and record what your going to edit. You'll more than likely be recording/playing more than one minute of the song that you are trying to edit for the next mix.....
He never even mentioned doing this live lol. Why would you even think that had to be explained?
You couldn't just loop it?
To extend an intro yes, but that doesn't work if you are trying to make a short edit.
Sure but this way, it frees you up to focus on other aspects of the mix
Nobody uses that shit! 😂
