Hi,

I regularly use serato dj software on my macbook pro and it is quite a labour intensive application using time-coded vinyls to control digital tracks on the computer. Obviously, when playing music in a venue it is critical that this software runs smoothly without any glitches. To optimise for performance, certain settings (for example the sudden motion sensor) need to be changed to ensure the program runs smoothly throughout the performance. However, these settings are not ideal for everday use so my thought was, 'why not create a menu item which creates a shortcut to toggle the rather large list of settings required for optimal use of serato software that can be toggled at the start of a performance and then off again afterwards'. Just incase someone wants to help out and code this handy feature out for me, i will include a link to a list of the optimised settings below. Im sure it can be done, but im afraid its beyond me. Hopefully this is an easy task for someone who is better in this field than me. Im sure many DJ's would find this an invaluable tool.

Cheers,

I may take a crack at this just to see if I can figure it out. Don't hold your breath though I am far from a scripting genius.

BTW in looking at the settings I have a different idea. Why not create a second user account on your Mac. Adjust the settings to the way that you want them and leave them that way. Log into that account any time you are doing a performance. When it is done you can log into your regular account.
