really, what have they done together besides this?
Pioneer just BOUGHT serato
thanks to you I know that, Iām saying what relationship have they been having that you were speaking of, I wasnāt aware they had been in bed together prior to this
serato always worked closely with pioneer for/with their DJ hardware.
just trying to dominate the DJ booth, thats all.

ok I seeā¦ I donāt trust pioneer with something as good as serato, they didnāt do the sp16 right, but they do have the moola so hope it works outā¦ I like serato
yeahā¦the sp16 was a bit of a let down. i chalk that up to the same thing that the Tempest went though, and the inevitable sale of DSI/Sequential to Focusrite group. Could be Daveās health was just going downhill at this time. Dunno.
But weāll see if Serato starting getting that eye watering Pioneer pricing soon
haha itās definitely gonna get shiny
The DJ software game is in a really weird place right now.
Dang.
I havenāt been DJing for a few years now so Iām kind of out of the loop.
It feels like the whole arena has been on hiatus tho.
I agree, feels a little aloof like

Iāve always been curious about Serato studio.
Off topic, but Serato dj centricā¦
I just got one of these Reloop Flux boxes so I can use Serato with my Model 1.4 mixer and Iām really excited about it. Iām kinda new to Serato and didnāt dig using a specific mixer or controller with a bunch of screens and pads.

Iām sooooo late to the party. I try to avoid learning or even investing any attention into new things when my old things (Logic, Live, Maschine, MPC, SP) arenāt broken. Well, Maschine broke and Logic has been feeling a little less inspiring to me lately so Iāve been flirting around a bitā¦
Lo and behold I had a free gift of 3 months free of Studio in my Serato account. Bruh!!! SERATO STUDIO IS THAT PIF!!! 
.
I love what theyāre doing. Itās simple and very focused like much of my more recent gear expenditures (Roland MV-1, SP MK2).
I love how Serato Studio and Rolandās Zenbeats focuses on drums (ala FL) while giving you all the tools to make sure each hit/element slaps like Big Mama catching you with your finger in her Cobbler.lol
Studio takes their obvious love for Hip Hop to the next level with so much attention to the sampling. The algos are outta here. Stems?! huWHAAAAAT?(lil Jon voice).
I havenāt had this much fun since I figured out how to perform and distribute my dope with SP! Get high!
If anyone on the fence with Serato Studio happens past this postā¦donāt be dumb forever bro. Hop off that fence and get to slapān 
!!!
This 
is FRESH!!!

Iām with you on this.
I was fully hardware as I could not get into the flow with software but Serato Studio really clicks with me.
Can I do proper sound design? No, but I can get a beat going in no time and as Iām using my Roland Sp-404 mkii as a sound card, once I have a few loops going, I just sample them and Iām done, Iām super impressed.
I had to add a few vst plugins, a graphic eq as sometimes you need a bit more control and a distortion, but Iām just super happy and super productive. The effects are simple but work, sidechain is a one-button affair and chopping is so easy it should be illegal.
I only wish you could more easily record into the sampler, but apart from that, Iām good.

Iām with you on that for sure.
All about having specialized tools for me these days so I love Studioās focus on sampling vs sound design. Iāll continue to do my sound design on ipad (Twin, Moogs, Korgs, Drambo, ButterSynth, endless sound design options via touch), my HW synth collection and real instrumentsā¦. Theyāll all find their way into SP-404 anyways.
Itās ironic because i always thought simplicity was using one DAW, groovebox, etcā¦mastering it to get the best results. Cool. Iāve done that but what Iām learning now is that having several tools that inspire you is as or more productive.
iOS music production was a game changer for my production and business. SP was a revelation. Studio appears to be even gamechangier!lol. Speeeeeeeed and FUN in a DAW? Who woulda thunk it.
Iāve completed 2 tracks in the past few days beginning in Studio faster, funner and better than anything Iāve done in years.

This was a quick beat made in Serato Studio then uploaded to Serato Visualiser, sampling some stuff from a previous track I released last yearā¦
