This makes it a decent way to start DJing for free without spending any money. It’s still free, and includes Practice Mode as shown on Serato DJ Pro. It’s nice to rebrand entry-level products to make them more approachable, and Serato has done a good job of not limiting their improvements to the software to just the Pro version.

Goodbye, Serato DJ Intro – hello, Serato DJ Lite. Serato has shared a support article on keeping your old version if you want to compare the two. Worth noting, when you install the new version of Serato DJ Pro, it will automatically overwrite old versions of the software. You can download the new version right here. The software is a free update for all existing Serato DJ users, and everything should still work the same with your library and existing hardware. Check out this before/after image that Serato has on their site:

High Res UI: We’ve been asking for Retina support for years – and Serato has brought it in this new version, adding support for Retina, 4K, and UHD displays.

This mirrors what you would experience on most Serato DJ hardware with performance pads.

Performance Pad View: effectively, cue point are now laid out in two rows of four.

Now there’s “virtually no limit on DJ library sizes” The specific use case that they’ve chosen to highlight is the increase in library size.

64 bit support: Serato notes that bringing their software into the 64-bit world makes the entire program more reliable.

There’s no EQ or fader support in practice mode – just a crossfader.

An offline Practice Mode: meaning you can mix tracks together with no hardware connected, making it easy to try out mixes, set loops and hotcues against another song, etc.

In text summary, the new features in Serato DJ Pro 2.0 include: Watch Serato’s official announcement video below, then keep reading: In the new version of Pro, there are a number of major changes that catapult the software forward. So Serato DJ is now called Serato DJ Pro – renamed to keep it the clear premium option against Serato DJ Lite (formerly Serato DJ Intro). The new releases include an updated refresh of the user interface, an offline practice mode, and 64-bit support. Finally out of the private closed beta, two brand new versions of Serato’s DJing software are launching today: Serato DJ Pro 2.0 and Serato DJ Lite 1.0.
