► SCRIPT
So load your first song onto the first deck which is deck number 1, then load your second song onto the 2nd deck which is deck number 2.
Then press sync on both decks so that the bpms of both songs will be the same. In our case they are the same already, but it’ll be best to press sync just to be safe.
Because if the bpms aren’t exactly the same, then you won’t be able to properly mix between the two.
So the plan is this:
Both of our songs that are loaded have 32 beat intros and outros. So we’re going to play song number 1, and mix in song number 2’s intro at song number 1’s outro here. That’s basically the last part of the song where only beats just play. Keep in mind this differs for every song.
So the trick here is to play song number 2’s intro at the exact moment we reach song number 1’s outro.
So this is the section where we should start mixing in. And where gonna mix this part with song number 2’s intro. Which is basically the first section of an extended edm song. Keep in mind also, that this differs for every song as well.
So the general idea, is to mix our 2nd song at the end of the 1st song.
So here’s how we do it:
Starting with our crossfader at the left section, we play the 1st song, and when we reach the 1st songs outro, we play the 2nd songs intro. So ideally both songs will be playing at the same time, now when this is happening. We then drag the crossfader from the left section to the right section, to essentially mix.
Now our timing of when we play the 2nd song will 100% not be on time. So in order to get these beats aligned, we have to use the + and - buttons here. They work as to speed up or slow down a song, so that the beats can align.
To make sure the beats are aligned. They have to look like this when we play them together.
See how the kick drum of the 1st song aligns with the kick drum of the 2nd song? That’s what we want.
So once we play the 2nd song, and align it properly with the first, and are 100% sure they’re aligned. Then and then do we drag the crossfader from the left section to the right section.

Daghang salamat Felix! Glad you love the content!
First, napanood kita sa isang competition (well dito rin sa youtube hehe) tapos sabi ko sht ang galing! Then few days ago, I got an offer to do djing. But I have zero experience in djing so I'm watching your videos to learn. I have no controller yet but exploring gears at this time and the basic. I'm a drummer and trying to put my hands on djing for sideline purposes hehe. Ganda ng mga content mo and your skills is above the sky! Party hard! 🇵🇭
Go for it pare! Spread your wings and see where the future brings you!
Thank you
You’re welcome!

Cool! Stay awesome!

@DJCarlo Atendido love the videos and tutorials, Can you do a video on how to save a manual loop and then save it as a sample in Serato Pro??
Great informative video!
It’s unbelievable how much garbage there is out there. You make quality material. Keep it up!👏🏻
Really appreciate that Luis!!!
sooo usefull

So cool, definitely I'll download this free software, by the way what will you recommended for tablet use?
salamat bro, I'm learning from u.
Really glad you are Robert!
thanks for everything you bring us CARLO !! always useful'... can you please post a video on how to set SERATO DJ the right way for scratching/ cue points. i use a DDJSX2 I'VE BEEN USING IT with VIRTUAL DJ because the way it works with each other.. i tried it with serato dj before, but i can not get it to scratch or control the cue points like virtual.. thanks!!
Love the video
I used Virtual DJ. I'm gonna try Serato Pro.
I prefer the old school method with real turntables and records. It sound better to me.
Thank Dj for this toturial im a filipino ND I LOVE TO MIX AND play music here at my house
You're welcome bud! Enjoy mo lang yung house sessions mo. At least nakakapagpractice ka din kahit paano, no?
idol carlo salamat 👍
You're welcome pare! 😁
Please do a video on this when using splitter cables and headphones
i switched to Rekordbox a while back. was playing a wedding and my controller DDJ-RX had an issue on channel 3 that i thought was a problem in my amps and speakers.
i ended up spending a bunch of $$$ on the spot because I suspected my amps and such. ugh.
found out it was the controller and ended up playing the gig using Rekordbox with the keyboard of my laptop.
i think Serato DJ Lite would have been a better solution at the time -- that overlay and mapping looks way better than what Rekordbox had going on...
Hey Carlo, Thanks a lot for the great content. Is there a way to record or publish our mixes on a laptop with Serato Lite?
bit late but you could install audacity and just record your laptops audio
Another awesome tutorial bro! "Master" Can you help me how organize or sort out songs into recordbox or serato and how to prepare a DJ Sets? Salamat ng Marami!!!
BIG THANK YOU IDOL.. Subscribe po ako sa lahat ng videos mo... salamat po
You're welcome pare!
*The best Dj in the world! Salumos amigo!*
Silver Darkofficial stop dreaming
@@ElitePromotions hes entitled to his own opinion shut up lmao
Unruly Biggz stop being a bandwagon
Thank you...😊
P.S: your accent...♥
@@djcarlo lol...
My pleausre...😊
thankyouu
you were great but in my little experience I found the best dj software to laptop without the controller is virtual dj it is great and has a realy very good look and effects
while VDJ may be better, it is not Free. this is free. for a great many people out there having access to a free solution is GOLD...
Personally I would not mind having a copy of VDJ to see if its automix feature would allow me to step away from the decks for a hot minute or be able to actually eat when i am at a wedding....
@@dmp4096 first it is free the unfree version is for connecting a controller the automix is just a fader not with the eqs
@@djcarlo thank you man you were the main reason that I have being a DJ
This software is good
It’s hard to beat match. Especially with older songs when timing isn’t perfect
Are there any shortcuts to select FXs and Bpm of them? I've a DDJ SB2 and I find difficult changing fxs's bpm with che touchpad
cool
I think if you want to dj on laptop, you should use dj virtual software.
It will be easier,thanks for great video
OK thanks
How do you ad more music dj pro
Hi dj Carlo can u review do a vlog if u or we can used any gaming laptop for dj 😁❤
If the specs are high enough, then yes you can!
love you from india
Thanks! Sending my love back to India!
Nice and very Pro looking Video. But did you know that VirtualDj Home Free has almost all Pro features avaliable on Free version as long as you dont use any dj controller ? Keyboard is fully mapped by default.
Do you have a video on counting beats and bars?
Is there a way to activate an option if there really is like the one in virtual dj which marks every beat with a ruler. While comparing two tracks when both rulers match on the beat grid it is beatmatched. But serato only has the beat grid not the scales/ruler for better understanding of beats. It's so tough Going to serato from vdj
Hey DJ Carlos can you give me a review on the mixvibes cross DJ
when you hit play on the the track you are mixing in, why doesn't it just automatically align the beats - like rekordbox? ('Sync' is selected so I assumed it would just do that...or is this a Serato pro function?)
I want to be a Dj just with right software and I have Mac book air 2020 I just want to just mix music with my laptop and hopefully make some money one day
you can do it!
I have some songs on CZcams that I want to remix and all stuff it has a good beats 🎧 too it
Hey bro I just got my laptop and my controller dbb3 pioneer I'm having trouble getting soundcloud to get music ...I followed the steps and still having trouble with it. It wont create an account..need help thanks bro ...
Hi Carlo. Thanks for this great video! In time, I have an external USB soundcard that I used with VirtualDJPro on my laptop. This setup allows me to use the audio output on the laptop as the master (that goes into the amplifier and speakers) and the audio output of the external soundcard to connect my headphones, allowing me to cue music before playing it for the audience. Is there a way to do the same using Serato DJ Lite? Does it allow the user to have 2 soundcards and select which will be master output and which will be for headphone cueing? Thanks again! All the best!
Hi Carlo. Sorry for abusing your patience. Just to clarify and confirm. If I buy the Serato DJ Pro expansion pack, will it really allow me to select settings like, for example, my laptop sound card as output #1 (which I would connect to my speakers) and my USB external sound card as output #2 (which I would use to connect my headphones)?
I know you can use a split cable with the Pro expansion pack, but that splits one stereo channel (L and R) into two mono channels (one for speakers and the other for headphones). I don't want to do that. What I am looking forward to make work is to have 2 separate and independent stereo channels (internal sound card for speakers and external USB sound card for headphones).
Please confirm. And thank you once again for your patience, kindness and amazing content! All the best!
@@djcarlo, I searched on forums and found this. Serato does not support an external USB sound card, and most important, Serato does not support audio routing, only allowing output via, in my case, PC main internal sound card. As I wanted to have the option of mixing and cueing with a headphone both with stereo channels just using my laptop, Serato does not work for me. Here is the link:
serato.com/forum/discussion/1289785
How can you counts that beats? And im hoping you do the tricks on lop top play tunes and looping transition please dj carlo
Hello - I want to use the Behringer CMD Studio 2a Controller - can I use it with Serato Lite ?
A little off topic, but would you happen to know why I can’t record any of my mixes ? Or put music in my crates, i use tidal to get my music.
hey i have a question i want to start djing to and i asked my stepdads friend what he sugggest so i can start djing and he said get a mac and i have a asus laptop which is not the best at times so what equipment do you suggest for beginers and how can you put unreleassed tracks in your set
can you do a tut on how to change from laptop only to mixer and laptop?
That's what the rest of the channel teaches you Vikash!
Hi, why i dont have this button in serato lite with low,mid, high pass, any idea?
Oh man, I'm not sure. They may have changed the layout and features since I released this video. Best to check on their site to see any updates!
Hey Bro, I don't know if you already know this but that option got removed from the latest version , I don't know if you already know this, but that option got removed from the latest version, I just started working with a Serato DJ Lite and I am just able to use Loops and Cues, so I went to the website and saw this, czcams.com/video/iITtJy4YPD4/video.html
So yeah, have a nice day
Great vid..... could this work on a samsung chromebook???
It should! Just check the specs against what's on their website :)
Hi,
WHAT?? is the BEST FREE software to use on a dj controller or cdjs
Hey Carlo can we off the vinyl mode in ddj 400 means can we only touch the jog wheels without make sound of scratching
mast hai
Thanks for watching!
how can i put the music from my apple play on to serato. i see that i have itunes on the progam but none of my songs show. when i purchased my controller, sec hand it didnt come with software but i download the program.
Unfortunately, I don't think Apple Music (I hope that's what you meant) is supported by Serato. Only Tidal has support with Serato. You'll need to purchase the songs via iTunes to have them port into your Serato library
Sana Kuya Carlo mag gawa kapa talaga ng video na pang Truly Beginner talaga. Like step by step to set-up all the equipments. Kasi sa nakikita ko sa mga Dj booth ang dami raming mga wires, di ko alam saan yun ipapasok ang mga yun. Sana kuya gawa kapa talaga ng video na pang Truly truly beginner pa talaga 😅 kung pwede sana... Taglish! 😅😂
Tagalog tsaka English! 😅😅😂
@@djcarlo thanks a lot Kuya ☝💖✨❤
Stupid question but struggling to find direction, looking for software for voice effects live streaming of microphone audio? Freeware would be a plus in the beginning
Hi I'm trying to download the serato dj lite but I'm need some help

Yes. They certainly do! You can check them out!
Series idea called rate my mix fans send in mixes and rate them

It should work with Bluetooth if you have the proper hardware from your laptop or controller.
my second deck is playing in reverse .....how can I adjust it
Can u do one for a Chromebook laptop
Hi, I am new to DJ and some of the songs that I use from soundclound don’t have any BPM on it. How do I fix this instead having to manually edit the BPM by myself?
You can press the blank BPM and tap the space bar to the beat! Unfortunately, I don't know if there are other ways to automatically get the BPM if your program can't read it.
just got the ddj-rev 1and using serato lite. Some reason the crossfader curve in the mixer setting doesn't move, just stuck at halfway. Anyone else had this problem?
Hmmm, it might be a limitation of Serato Lite
Does this work with a controller srry if this is dumb im new to this
