      Nick Absolute Best Serato Setup Tutorial Ever!, You answered every question I ever had on how to set up Serato. The Only Thing I didn't hear you mention Is your can change the distance between the Waves form with the + or - Keys on the Keyboard. Where I DJ at the other DJ likes it really tight and I like a lot of distance so I can see the beats more clearly. Thanks again, DJ Drew

    Love the fact you don’t use sync.
    Nothing like moving the pitch controller your self and actually listening to both beats.

    • @karlharris7602
      @karlharris7602 2 роки тому +1

      I'm with you on everything except the sync thing. Just put it on simple sync. Im a purest myself I started mixing with a dual tape deck we called it pause mixing and then my first turntables didn't have pitch control. So, I had to turn one and slow the other one down by hand to keep them in sync. I use the sync now mostly when I'm doing an acapella mix and want to drop another beat or acapella quickly. Its like going from chopping down a tree with an ax to a chainsaw. You still have to know what youre doing. Like beat counting.

As far as sync button [guilty] Using sz2, sx2 controllers over the last decade or so, it is convenient and it sync my effects also. Let's be clear "Sync does not always work" you still have to listen to the track. Anyone like myself or you who ever used vinyl will have no problem hearing the offset. Much needed video brother.

    Actually you can still set hot cues with enable hot cues unticked.But only on your computer not using your controler. I swiched it off because I kept setting hot cues in places I did'nt want. So now wnen I load new tunes into serato I set the cue points before the gig. Hope I described this well enough. BTW Nick really enjoy your channel.
