The DJ.Studio to Serato integration allows you to manage your playlists, import tracks, and switch between software in one space, increasing efficiency, saving time and effort and streamlining your workflow.
If you use Serato to manage your music library, we advice you to download the DJ.Studio app to connect to your Serato database. With the DJ.Studio app you can
search your Serato library from within DJ.Studio to find the right tracks for your DJ mix via your Serato crates.
The integration of the DJ.Studio desktop app with Serato simplifies your workflow and enables you to merge your preferred DJ software to achieve the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions about Serato
Can I export beat grids or cue points to Serato?
At the moment, DJ.Studio does not have an export option to export beat grids or hot cues to Serato. We have to build that for every software tool separately because there is no universal way how to store beat grids in audio files. DJ.Studio already supports exporting Beat grids to Ableton and rekordbox. We are in the process of also buidling the export of beat grids to Serato.
What should I do if DJ.Studio can't find the Serato library folder?
If you see the message "DJ.Studio could not find your Serato library" please follow the instructions on this guide - Locating Integration Folders
