Streaming FAQs
What kind of audio quality settings can I use for streaming tracks?
The settings are slightly different depending on what streaming provider you are using:
SoundCloud tracks are all available in a high-quality AAC format.
TIDAL tracks are available in different bit rates and file types depending on the TIDAL account tier you subscribe to: HIFI users have the option to choose between lossless FLAC streams and high-quality AAC streams. Premium users have access to high-quality AAC streams only.
Will my track metadata (Cue Points, Loops, Flips etc) work once I save them on tracks from streaming services?
Once you set cue points, loops and flips on a track from a streaming service the information will all be saved to your machine and next time you load the file (at either FLAC or AAC quality) all your information will be available.
Can I search for tracks from streaming services in Serato DJ Pro?
DJ's can use the Serato DJ search bar to search music from the streaming service catalogues. To do this click the TIDAL or SoundCloud icon next to the search bar and enter your search query. Local results from the ‘all…’ crate will be displayed first followed by results from the streaming service. You can tell which songs are from the streaming service catalogue as they will have a small TIDAL or SoundCloud icon in the first column of the library.
Do I need to analyze tracks from streaming services like I do with my tracks normally?
When you load a streaming track to deck the entire audio stream will be downloaded. Once the download is complete Serato DJ Pro will analyze the file quickly and provide you with track information such as Key, BPM and a waveform overview. All this information will be saved and displayed in your library for the next time you play the track.
How can I create and edit streaming playlists?
You can create and edit playlists on the go using the SoundCloud and TIDAL mobile and web applications.
TIDAL subscribers are also able to create and edit playlists in Serato DJ Pro by dragging and dropping TIDAL tracks from your search results or other TIDAL playlists.
Ezmix 2 keygen. Several presets in the “Ambient Delays” and “Ambient Reverbs” packs are affected, as well as one preset in “Indie Guitars” (“Modulated Pitched Delay”).– Increasing the Time parameter in reverse delays (if a shape control is bound to such a parameter) should no longer cause any click/pop sounds.– Opening Pro Tools projects containing EZmix would sometimes crash (since version 2.1.4).– The selected preset/favorite was not shown as modified (with an asterisk) if the input or output level had been changed by less than 0.4 dB. This last worked in version 2.1.1.
Can I record my sets in Serato DJ Pro with tracks that I am streaming?
You cannot record your sets while DJing with streaming tracks.
Can I save my tracks from streaming services to be used offline?
At this stage, there is no ability to save streaming tracks and play them while offline. You must have an active internet connection to use streaming services in Serato DJ Pro.
Why aren't all the tracks in my SoundCloud playlist showing in my Serato DJ Pro library?

I have been receiving a bunch of questions from people about their playlists. Many of you are having difficulty moving tracks within Traktor playlists, in other words, people have been unable to re- order tracks once you have created a playlist. You want to drag the tracks into a specific order, but Traktor just won’t let you!
Traktor Playlist Problem
The Track Browser contains a lot of different columns, the first column being the ‘icon’ column. If you click the top of this this column, the tracks are then organized depending on what icons are showing:-
- Lock – Tracks will be organized based on their locked state. Which means those that have their beats grids locked, will appear at the top.
- Check mark or tick – Tracks will be organized based on their played state. Which means if a track has already been played in the most recent session it will appear at the top of the list.
- Exclamation Mark – Tracks will be organized based on their missing status. Which means if a track can not be located by Traktor, then it will be marked with this exclamation icon and once sorted by this means, will be placed at the top of the playlist.
As you click the top of this first column, you will toggle between these three icons. Whilst the tracks are organized in one of these ways, you are unable to drag your tracks around to manually sort them into your preferred play order.
The Fix
Simply click the top of the second column, the number column. This column, the one titled with a hash simple (#), will remove the icon in the top of the first column and therefore free you up to drag and drop your tracks around into your preferred playlist order.
