Serato DEMO ?
I have heard a lot of DJ’s on here stating “test out the free and/or lite versions of each DJ software and figure out which one is best for you personally.”
Great advice. And I always pass that on to beginners.
I cannot find a FREE and/or LITE version of Serato to test out?
What’s the deal here?
Serato doesn’t work without certified hardware. It’s a clever way of tricking people into buying controllers meant for it and then feeling like they HAVE to use it (even though it’s crap) otherwise they’ve wasted money.
nice job Serato. So can we stop recommending this? Maybe Serato will make a free demo?
That’s pathetic. So they rely on the “My favorite DJ uses Serato” crap?
You can download the program, and check out all the features with one deck.
It’s rock solid, looks good, and works well.
Just talk to a friend with a Serato Box and chill with them 
But Serato DJ currently supports 10 controllers (2 Reloop included), DJ Intro supports 14 and that seems to increase with every update.
Scratchlive is always going to require a certified sound card so no different to Traktor Scratch.
nothing like DJing with one deck ! "Yo buddy check out these one deck moves!'This is the time for Serato fan boys to STFU. No excuses. This is not good for your software.
Jeez, is it time for another blatant troll thread already?
It’s a demo. Shows you everything you can do. If you like the idea of it, buy the hardware. If you don’t like it, you can sell it for damned near what you paid for it. Pretty simple. No you can’t practice mixing with it, but it gives you a basic idea.
I use SSL and ITCH. Both are exactly what I want out of them. I guess I’m a fanboy who can STFU right?
If you’re not willing to make the investment, go elsewhere. It’s a bar for the average customer for their products, and that, I can totally understand from a business perspective. It’s also something that you know people using Serato products actually bought their shit, which to me, counts for a lot.
You get what you pay for, and it’s not always a “try before you buy” situation.
So people aren’t allowed to have opinions if they differ to yours??!! I saw you write in another thread that you liked healthy debate? People need to have differing opinions if thats the case. Have you even used Serato?
I also saw in another thread that someone said you sound like a bell end… i’m tending to agree! No offence intended!
wow. I am a troll again? how about I ask good questions?
I have to buy a controller to demo your software?
who am I trolling?
This Is DJ Tech Tools right?
This is why we come here right?
wow ! YOU are amazing. sorry bout that Serato Boy. I was wrong bout you.
I agree with him. Make the investment and get a nice midi controller. Check out that new one Pioneer came out with the DDJ-S1 - looks AWESOME. But really. The sooner you get some nice equipment, the sooner you’ll be able to follow your dreams and make some money too! 
Honestly man, if you’re posting a question and don’t want answers, and just want to jump on people who enjoy Serato?
I’m sorry.
A demo doesn’t exist. You can use one deck, or try out someone’s setup. That’s it.
I’ve been using these forums for a long time as well, and it’s not worth getting into a pissing contest about. If you’re not willing to hear legit feedback without jumping on people who answer, don’t bother asking the question in the first place. I’m bothered not by your question, but the attitude when responding to the answers given.
Grow up.
Yeah man. Give it a rest already
I got my answer thank you. There is no demo.
So now we can tell the beginners that. Thanks again.
You guys are the ones that started with the hate.
Bassline Brine was stating that Serato is too good and/or professional for a demo. That’s the Serato Fan Boy crap that people can’t stand.
End of thread. Thanks again.
Hate to comment on this and create the possibility of continuing an unneccesary pissing match between you two, but did he edit one of his posts? Cause I never read anything that even slightly suggests what you just stated. This forum is typically a friendly one, so I wouldnt try and read into comments and think that there is some type of negative meaning behind what people say, not saying you do or did, just not sure what happened here

Can you feel the asshole tone in there?
If you can’t it’s probably because you’re one too.
Oh yea no doubt, but in all fairness, they’re some stronger comments made beforehand by yourself that make this seem quite tame. I’m not sure if that Serato fanboy STFU comment was directed at him or in general as isnt blatantly clear, but it sure seemed like it was and maybe thats where we were mistaken. It is what it is though.
Im sorry that stating that the professional audio world doesn’t always have a “baby’s first bedroom edition” is considered assholeish… Serato actually does have one of the best entry level software packages in Serato Intro, but no, you cant run a TPB crack of it with your mouse.
What’s next? Complaining that JBL doesn’t have cheap speakers? That Rane doesn’t make cheap rack bits? That Pioneer doesn’t make bargain bin CDJs? Won’t someone please white knight on the internet about the bedroom consumer?!
Sorry. I just always hear “try before you buy” here on DJTT.
And with Serato, which is one of the TOP 3 DJ software programs out there, you cannot.
That’s all I wanted to clarify. And IMO it’s not good for the consumer.
