Serato Unveils Studio Beatmaking Software For Djs

Published 4th Sept, 2019

Serato has announced that its Serato Studio software is now available. Reportedly, it’s a streamlined music production app for Mac and PC that lets you quickly come up with beats using a Serato DJ-inspired interface that will look familiar to digital DJs. The way it works is users add drum sounds, basslines, music loops and effects from Serato Studio’s library, which users can then arrange into chunks to form a tune.

Serato Studio makes all of this easy because it automatically syncs musical elements to the project’s musical key and tempo, increasing the chances that beat’s individual elements will “fit” with each other.

New features have been added to this release version of the app, including a Master Key Change control for quickly pitching the entire project up or down, the ability to add swing and to draw triplet notes in the step sequencer, and a Master Deck Waveform that let users see their project’s waveform in real time as they make changes to it. Serato Sounds has also been launched, which gives a fresh Serato Studio sound packs to play with every month as part of the Serato Studio subscription.
