Before software installation, please ensure your computer meets or exceeds the recommended or high performance specifications, depending on your desired usage, which are outlined via the Serato DJ Pro system requirements on the download page.
Both macOS and Windows users (no matter the specifications of their computer) are strongly recommended to complete all of the Optimization steps outlined in the Optimization guide for macOS and Optimization guide for Windows articles.
Users meeting or exceeding the recommended specifications tier are for those with a typical DJ setup using default Serato settings whereas users meeting or exceeding the high performance specifications tier are for demanding tasks like low latency scratching, live streaming, mixing with three or more decks, or using Serato Video.
Serato DJ Pro may work on computers that do not meet or exceed the computer specification tiers mentioned above, but operation is not guaranteed and you may need to carry out optimizations beyond what we suggest, and tweak Serato settings or adjust your usage to match what your computer is capable of.
- Operating system support assumes you are using the latest point release for that version
- Windows computers with both dedicated and integrated graphics cards should make changes to ensure the dedicated graphics is used for best Serato Video performance
- Both macOS and Windows users (no matter the specifications of their computer) are strongly recommended to complete all of the Optimization steps outlined in the Optimization guide for macOS and Optimization guide for Windows articles
- CPUs that support the AVX instruction set are required for the latest versions of Serato DJ Pro
