Running Scratch Live & Serato DJ on one machine: can i have two seperate databases?
Looking for some insight on how I might do this.
I want to use Serato Scratch Live and Serato DJ on one laptop, but
keep their databases seperately. Serato DJ can’t handle my Scratch Live database.
It’s too big and crashes. I figure if i keep a seperate DB for DJ, then I can keep it small,
and make use of my VCI-380 controller.
Anyone have a guide on how I might do that? Is it possible?
Search for ‘Scratch Live - How to make multiple libraries’ on YouTube.
It’s a hassle though.
It’s possible, yes. Basically you just need to rename your Serato folder in your Music folder (or external drive if you use one). I assume you current Serato folder is for Scratch Live, so rename it something like _Serato_SL. Now, open Serato DJ, and you should have a blank library/database. Make your crates and whatnot. Now close Serato DJ. You should now notice you have a new Serato folder. Rename this one something like _Serato_SDJ.
Now, depending on which program you want to use, just rename the respective folder back to just Serato and open then program. Repeat steps when wanting to use the other program.
