Ultimate DAW for Making Beats
There are a lot of really great beat production apps and DAW-style programs out there, and if you're a long-time producer, you've probably come across them. However, beat makers and electronic music artists are often underserved by their DAW software, often spending more time to get set up than actually making new music. That ends now. Serato Studio 2.0’s clean, modern workflow, speaks your language and provides the necessary tools to take your productions to new levels. Not only can you record audio from your interface, but Studio 2.0 allows you to sequence beats, chop and slice samples, arrange tracks, and even add effects. And it’s all intuitive. Plus, your purchase includes a huge selection of sample packs, instruments, and effects. It’s easy to turn an idea into album-quality beat with Serato Studio 2.0.
Note: Serato Studio 2.0 supports VST2 and AU plug-ins. VST3 plug-ins are not supported. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more information.

Arrange and sequence your way
A core part of production and beatmaking is arranging samples and MIDI loops, and Serato Studio handles that in a way that everyone can appreciate. For starters, there's the audio editor, which features everything from automatic key detection to extreme tempo stretching courtesy of Serato's acclaimed Pitch 'n Time algorithm. Sequencing options include both classic step sequencing and a more modern piano roll, complete with in-key modes that make it impossible to play the wrong notes. You can arrange your clips into scenes, arrange your scenes in the Song View panel, and polish the end result in the mixer. It's all extremely straightforward. The recording function also gives you the option of recording instruments, vocals, and any audio source directly into Serato Studio.
Uparalleled sampling potential with Serato Stems
Serato tells Sweetwater that the new Stems feature is the biggest advancement in sampling since the first digital sampler hit the market. With the touch of a button, an advanced machine-learning algorithm separates an audio sample into any combination of four unique tracks — a cappella, melody, baseline, and drums. From here, you can layer, chop, flip, or mute each track as you please for complete control over your mix. Add in Serato's “Pitch ’n Time” technology, and you get even more creative flexibility. For example, you can play a single sample across your whole keyboard or build a custom drum kit from one-shots. Best of all, Serato Stems works impressively in real-time.

There are drum kits pre-built for a variety of styles plus a library of over 300 professionally programmed grooves, all kinds of virtual instruments, and loads of loops and samples, all to get you rolling.
