Denon Prime GO Serato support

Engine DJ Hardware Standalone Controllers
1

Hello everyone,

I saw that a lot of Denon products supports Serato,

Any news on the Prime Go also supporting Serato? It’s beautiful and powerful controller, I would take more out, but there is no stems and there those type of events where I just can’t do without Serato and laptop. Virtual DJ is nice, but I somehow can’t DJ with it all my library is on Serato and Rekordbox. Please at least put it somewhere no the roadmap so there is a hope. Is there someone else feeling like this?

Thank you, DJ and electronic music producer plastiC

You have it the wrong way around. It’s Serato which supports the Denon products.

Not as well as VirtualDJ IMO, which is much better integrated. You can import Serato and Rekordbox collections to VDJ.

If you want Serato to support the Go then you need to ask Serato.

The Prime Go was released several years ago already. Same as the Prime 2, there won’t be any Serato support coming that late. It’s either right at the start / shortly after, or not at all. If you want Serato support, go with the P4/+, Live 4/2 or Mixstream Pro Go/+ (Lite).

I was a heavy Serato guy myself over the last 6-7 years, but now fully ported my libraries into Engine. It was super easy, pretty much an one-click transfer.

Serato is dead for me. Their pricing model became ridiculous, they mostly ignore user complaints and requests (aka Hot Cue default colors, Live 4 LED feedback, no track preview, etc.) and the possible takeover by Pioneer/AT is a massive red flag for me. To admit, their Stems integration and quality is great.

It is not only Serato part, Denon should work with them and help him to make those controllers work with many software platforms. There are 50 brands for controllers, without the support from the brand there is no way Serato to keep their controlers updated with every new model. Even if you look at Denon’s own website, we can not find what DJ software is supported. So many crappy things are written and the most important ones are still missing. I had to dig 1 day just to find that all C++ must be uninstaled before instaling drivers for go+ otherwise drivers will not be installed. Why it is not on the product page with big red square, informing users for this frustrations?

What’s crappy to one person may be of keen importance for another and vice versa.

One of the key features (and a massive part of the retail price) is that the Primes are standalone devices and they are, of course, marketed with that primary factor in mind.

That means DJ software compatibility may not be of forefront concern on every model.

The other thing to consider very strongly is that some DJ software companies have natural (or paid) allegiance to particular DJ hardware manufacturers
