- Serato just announced new public betas
for Serato DJ Pro and Serato DJ Lite.
The new updates include
the ability to stream music
directly from SoundCloud
from within Serato.
This joints title as a
music streaming service
that you can access while you're spinning
with Serato software.
So in this video, we're
going to take a look at
the SoundCloud integration.
Let's get started.
Alright, so I've got Serato
DJ Pro loaded over here.
Just quick look we can see
the title is already enabled
over here on the left side
of the browser's screen.
So, we're going to enable SoundCloud now.
Let's go to the settings.
Here we are, I'm going to
click on Library Display
and I'm going to go
over here to the bottom
and you can see that there
is a new selection here.
Show streaming services
and I can now choose
between title or SoundCloud.
And I can toggle between the two.
At the moment it doesn't
seem that you can have
both of these services enabled
which would have been cool because imagine
if you'd be able to
stream music from title
and at the same time you
could still access songs
in your playlist over in SoundCloud
or any other song in the
SoundCloud catalogue.
But we'll see how it pans out.
I'm going to click on SoundCloud
and then I am going to
log in to my account.
Alright so you need to be
a SoundCloud Go+ subscriber
if you want to stream music
in Serato from SoundCloud.
And if you still aren't,
well you can sign up
for a free 30 day trial
and then once that's done I
can just open Serato again.
And I am going to find that
I have been logged in to my account.
And I can now close this.
And we're going to find
SoundCloud over here as an option.
These are all of the playlist
that I've made in my SoundCloud account.
It's been a while and seeing
this in quite a long time
but yes so all of my
playlist are in there.
So, if you're an avid SoundCloud user,
well you're going to find all the playlist
that you've made ever.
So, it's cool that you've
got your playlist in there.
But what we really want to do is
you want to be able to search tracks
in SoundCloud and to play them.
So to do that, just click on
the Sound Cloud icon over here
and then type the artist or song
that you want to play over
here in the search box.
So, I'm going to try
and look for say Drake.
And again, over here in the browser
you're going to find that all
of the sounds with this icon
mean that they're in your hard drive.
And if you scroll further down,
you're going to find the SoundCloud icon
and that means that these are tracks
that will be streaming from SoundCloud.
So let's try dropping this one in here.
There we go.
Play it back.
(instrumental music)
Bring up the volume.
And you can skip around.
(lively music)
Right so let's play another track.
This one.
(lively music)
Cool.
And then...
Let's play this one.
(lively music)
Well, yeah.
So, it works.
I want to also try if we can make
some SoundCloud playlists over here.
If we click on SoundCloud,
I don't see any icons for
adding a SoundCloud playlist.
That means I have to make
my SoundCloud playlist
over on the SoundCloud
website using my browser
instead of making one in
here from within Serato.
And that is a star contrast compared to
how it works with title.
And let's just get a quick refresher here.
I'm going to go back to the settings.
I'm going to enable title.
There we go.
And over in here you get
the title playlist icon
which lets you add and create
your own title playlist in here.
And that means that when you
search the track on title...
You can just drop it...
That into the playlist.
You're going to be able to
access it from within Serato
as well as the title site and app.
So let's just go back very
quickly to SoundCloud.
And one more thing if
you got tracks playing
in your decks or if you got tracks loaded
if you're switching
some title to SoundCloud
or SoundCloud to title that means
you're not going to be
able to play those tracks.
You're going to be ejected.
Okay so we're back to SoundCloud.
Now, what I want to try is
if we're going to be able
to keep the song playing
even after we kill the
internet connection.
We tried that in our
title first look video
and since Serato caches the song
in the background while you're playing it,
even if the internet connection dies,
or the Wifi router suddenly
disappears or something,
the track will continue
to play until the end
and you're going to have enough
time to choose an extract
instead of just the
song abruptly stopping.
So let's see if it's
going to be the same case
here with SoundCloud.
So the whole track has already
been buffered and loaded.
Now, I'm going to remove
the internet connection.
(instrumental music)
Since it cannot be reached,
recheck connection and try again.
So yeah, just like our title test,
the sound continues to play
even after the internet dies
and you've got enough time to just go back
to your hard drive library
or the sounds folder
on your computer and
you can just drop them
and you can play...
(instrumental music)
after the song ends.
(electronic song)
Just like that.
You're not going to have any problems.
Say you're playing at a wedding
or at a house party or something like that
and suddenly the internet dies
well the song won't just stop playing.
It's still going to continue playing and
you just won't be able to
access a SoundCloud itself.
So that's it.
That's our first look at
SoundCloud streaming in Serato.
So that's it for this quick look
at SoundCloud streaming
integration in Serato.

Now get good, get out
there and make the moments.
