Serato Dj Pro Expansion Pack

[Mckenzie Witting]

Myname is Brennan Galley and I was the Canadian Technical Sales Manager for inMusic Canada. I toured Canada from coast to coast to show musicians how to use innovative instruments, DJ and Music production equipment. One of the companies I represented was Denon DJ, the MC7000 was a piece of gear I extensively toured with.

If you press the cue button a second time you enter into Cue Loops. What this means is that when you press one of your cue points the song will loop at that location. In this video I show how to perform using the Cue Loops and how to increase or decrease the size of the loops.

When you are in the roll section of the MC7000 the bottom four pads are for jumping around the track. The bottom left pad will jump backwards, and the bottom right pad will jump forwards. The two pads on the bottom middle are used for increasing or decreasing how far the track will jump. This video shows how to use this feature for a performance.

Slicer gives you continuous parts of a track to revisit. If you press a pad in slicer mode it will play back the part of the song that you heard when the pad was lit up during playback. If you press the slicer button a second time it will turn blue and loop that portion of the song. This gives you an added performance tool while you prepare a new track. This video shows how to use the slicer feature on the MC7000 for performing.

The sampler section in Serato allows you to play back single drum hits or cue points from songs over the music playing back. Serato allows you to assign the output of the sampler, which means that you can create a channel for deeper control of sampler playback. In this video I show where to assign the audio out in Serato. By doing this the filter will process the audio to either cut the highs or cut the bass. You can also add effects to your sampler by selecting channel 4 in the effect control section.

An instant double in Serato allows you to have the track playing back from the same place at the same speed on both decks instantly. This allows you to apply an effect or filter or quickly jump to a part of the song you want to repeat later. In this video I show how to load an instant double and how to apply a filter to it. I also show how having the cues all landing on the ones allows you to jump around the track using cue points.

The Denon DJ MC7000 has stop time controller. This make the playback sound like a record slowing down. In this video I show how to pick the stop time back up by hitting a cue at the proper time. I also demonstrate how the ribbon strip under the effects section allows you to jump around the track to locate sections that you want to play back.

The third expansion pack is Video. This allows you to associate any video with any song in your collection, and have in-depth video playback control. In this video I show how to associate videos with songs. I also show how the audio effects will let me control a video effect simultaneously. The video footage I used is from a Sunday afternoon nature walk captured on my phone. Something to note is that doing this video series pushed the Serato Video feature. I was using the video card on my computer to both play back video in Serato and to record with Screen Capture simultaneously. It worked without a hiccup.

The MC7000 from Denon DJ has XLR booth and main outputs on it. The XLRs are balanced and can plug directly into an active monitor, which helps make the set-up quick, and also sounds much better than unbalanced outs.

The Denon DJ MC7000 is affordable, well built and feature full. Thanks for checking out this and my other videos. A big thank you goes out to Dan Evans. If you would like to set up a SKYPE lesson send an email to fierc...@gmail.com

Serato Play is a fully-featured Expansion Pack that lets you DJ using only your laptop.

You now have the option to DJ without any hardware connected and access advanced features such as EQ, FX, Filters, your other expansion packs and more.

The RANE ONE is designed as a Serato controller and requires a laptop running Serato to get the full use of the ONE features. The ONE, however, does have line/phono inputs and can be used as a standalone mixer with functional EQ and filters.

The RANE ONE is Serato DJ Enabled, meaning it will unlock Serato DJ automatically while connected to the computer.*

*Driver installation will be required for operation on Windows computers before connecting with Serato.

Yes, the ONE is compatible with and can host turntables for DVS control using the CD/Phono RCA deck inputs. Serato DVS control will require ownership of the DVS expansion pack from Serato DJ (sold separately at serato.com).

Yes, the tension can be adjusted manually by using the adjustment screw on the fader itself. The top-plate of the fader section on the RANE ONE can be removed in order to access this adjustment or to replace the fader.

The RANE ONE is a 2-channel controller that already has two motorized platters. There is no way to assign additional decks and no practical benefit to doing this.

You could, however, connect the RANE TWELVE MKII using the RCA deck inputs for use as a DVS controller. See the DVS Control question above for more details about using DVS with the RANE ONE.

To kickoff the expansion, Serato will officiate at a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, August 22 at 4 p.m. at the Boys & Girls Club (15645 Gothard Street, Huntington Beach) after which the first 250 children will enjoy their inaugural pasta supper. Only weeks ago, Serato began feeding children in San Juan Capistrano, Rancho Santa Margarita and Aliso Viejo. While the food is typically prepared at his beloved Anaheim White House, which he has owned since 1987, it currently is being made at Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove while the restaurant is being rebuilt after being destroyed by a fire.
