Serato released Serato DJ Pro and Serato DJ Lite in its biggest update since launching Serato DJ.
The release brings a two-deck offline player, unlimited library support and a refreshed interface. It also introduces new names for each product: Serato DJ is now Serato DJ Pro. Serato DJ Intro is now Serato DJ Lite.
Serato DJ Pro is a free update for all existing Serato DJ users with a license or supported hardware, while Serato DJ Lite is free for everyone. Features include Practice Mode, a laptop-only DJ solution with the all-new Practice Mode feature. In contrast to Serato DJ’s one-deck offline mode, Serato DJ Pro now offers two virtual decks, a crossfader, BPM controls, and full access to your library and crates without the need for hardware.
“Practice Mode is the ideal prepping tool,” said Nick Maclaren, head of strategy at Serato. “DJs can practice blends, set cue points or beat grids, and fine tune their sets without the hassle of plugging in gear.”
