Do clubs usually provide serato?
Curious if most night clubs keep an sl1/sl3/etc hooked up apart of there equipment or when you go for a gig they ask you to bring your interface. I had a gig where they asked me to bring it but I thought most had it hooked up already.
no. I don’t believe so. Most of the time you are required to bring your own interface.
Clubs pretty much never provide an interface, but when they do, I have only seen Serato around here. Never seen Traktor.
I’ve only been in one club where they had interfaces setup any others the DJ had to bring their own .. although in that case it was overkill LOL
2xSSL + 2xAudio4 in every one of 3 DJ boxes in the venue 
.. very handy though !
Most clubs/lounges in Southern Cali do.
Ive only ever been in two clubs that have serato installed, and one was just the resident DJs that he left there
Man you guys are lucky, were lucky here if we get CDJ’s and a mixer never mind interfaces!
Liambo where’ve you played that they dont supply CDJs? worst ive ever seen in a club is CDJ200’s and an old vestax pmc
If the headliner uses Serato, chances are, there will be serato there as per their rider.
Never seen one here either…though theres the odd club installing a DJM900 now so thats tsp sorted!
I fixed your original question so you get relevant answers.
This question is has little relevance to UK and slim relevance in EU and your just getting a load of answers that don’t help.
Been to a club in Germany recently, where they actually had 2 TTs + Serato and 2 CDJ 2000s + Serato. Never seen that before around here:eek:
One of the clubs I play at from time to time down here has an SL-3, but they don’t have serato CDs. I know of a club back home that has one as well, but I’d agree it’s by no means the norm.
Yeah, im just saying that the OP will get better answers from people in his own country as its much more common the US than anywhere else.
Trying to save him a long list of people saying “NO” when the answer is more likely to be “yes” in the US.
Im not saying it doesnt occur in UK or EU but its way way less common.
Thanks karlos!
I’ve seen maybe 4-5 with serato here in Chicago. Spybar has both a serato and traktor box installed in the booth itself.
Almost all have some type of techncis or cdjs, at least in Chicago.
Only ever seen a Rane 57ttmsl (which has a Serato inerface built-in) ONCE at a club. Everywhere else I’ve spun, even the Guvernment in Toronto doesn’t provide an interface. Most clubs will provide at least TTs, only some provide CDJs. Most also provide a mixer, but strangely enough there are a surprising amount of places i’ve been to that provide two TTs but not mixer.
As long as you have an interface you should be fine to spin in like 90% of clubs.
I will say though that like 80% of the DJs I’ve ever had to switch out of or into, use Serato. Often in a lineup of 3 or 4 DJs on the night, i’ll be the only one using Traktor timecode. (keep in mind, I mostly spin hip-hop and Top 40).
Hit and miss here. Some of the bigger clubs have installed CDJs/TT will typically have em unless a guest DJ happen to walk away with it. Some of the smaller club you have to bring your own decks to plug into their sounds. Bars for the most part you have to bring your own decks and interface.
You should re-edit again, as most places in the US do not.
the place i play at now, has 2 1000 mk3s and 2 1200s, but no “working” mixer.
its bring your own shit and rock out
