About Serato DJ Pro

Serato DJ Pro is professional DJ software from Serato, used widely in clubs and especially popular with hip-hop and turntablist DJs. It connects to a large range of controllers, mixers and media players, separates stems in real time, and streams from services such as Apple Music, Beatport and SoundCloud alongside local files. Expansions add advanced effects, key-shifting, digital vinyl control (DVS), video, edit recording and an on-screen play mode for laptop-only DJing. There is a free Serato DJ Lite for beginners, and many controllers unlock DJ Pro. Otherwise you subscribe monthly or buy it outright, with a DJ Suite bundle that adds all expansions, the iOS app and Serato Studio. A free trial is available. It runs on Windows and macOS, plus iPhone and iPad. Without supported hardware some features are limited, and buying expansions separately adds up.

Best for: Working DJs, especially scratch and DVS users, who want club-standard software and hardware support.
