Control Serato without turntables: M-Audio X-Session

Here's a great little controller for Serato. It really comes in handy when there are turntable/vibration/needle problems (or no turntables at all!).

M-Audio X-Session

You can set up the MIDI in Serato to control:

• Coarse pitch
• Fine pitch
• Start/stop
• Cue points
• Pitch bend up/down

Tip: Record MIDI at Lower Tempos

Perhaps everyone already knows this tip, but just in case ...

When recording a complex or fast MIDI part, record at a slower tempo (e.g. 100bpm for a 130bpm track). This is a great way to get that human groove/feel with parts that are hard to play in real time.
