YouTube Music has a huge collection of music as well as artist content in its music library. With its huge audio and video resources, YouTube Music is also attracting a growing number of users. And mixing music from the tracks on YouTube Music has become a popular choice for many DJ enthusiasts.
As a DJ or an artist, you should be familiar with Serato DJ software. As one of the most popular DJ software in the world, Serato DJ is known for its reliability and high compatibility with over 90+ hardware. An important part of making a mix is the source of the song and Serato DJ Pro currently supports direct connection and use of music from iTunes, Beatport, Beatsourse, SoundCloud, and Tidal, which then allows the user to create their own signature style of music. Although there is no official support for a direct connection to the YouTube Music app, you don't need to worry as this article will guide you through how to easily use YouTube music on Serato DJ Pro.
The first thing you need to be aware of is that YouTube Music songs, like other streaming platforms, are specially protected and are only available on authorized devices or players where the conditions permit. Therefore, to add YouTube Music to Serato DJ Pro and Lite you need to have a powerful third-party converter. Generally speaking, this type of converter will help you to convert and download YouTube Music to a common format audio file. This way it will be easily recognized by the Serato DJ tools. Let's take a look at the types of files supported by Serato DJ below.
| Serato DJ on Windows | MP3, OGG, FLAC, AIF, WAV, WL.MP3, MP4, M4A, ALAC (Windows 10 only) |
|---|---|
| Serato DJ on Mac | MP3, OGG, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, AIF, WAV, WL.MP3, MP4, M4A |

Step 2 Change the Output Parameters for the YouTube Music
As a general rule, to export YouTube Music that better suits your needs, we strongly recommend that you click on the "Settings" panel to complete the customization of the output parameters before making your song selection. In addition to the output format, you can also select other options such as bit rate, sample rate, etc. If you want to export your music in the same parameters as the original YouTube Music file, then you don't need to change the Output Format field, just use the default Auto.
◉ Output Format: Auto, MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, ALAC
◉ Bit Rate: 128kbps, 192kbps, 256kbps, 320kbps
◉ Sample Rate: 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz, 192kHz
◉ Output File Name: Track Number, Title, Artist, Album, Playlist Index, Year
◉ Output Organized: None, Playlist, Artist, Album, Artist/Album, Album/Artist, Playlist/Artist, Playlist/Album
Note: If you only need to download audio files, please close the "Download Video" button on this screen. Otherwise, the program will automatically recognize and download the music videos for the song, which may take a longer time.
Step 3 Save YouTube Music Tracks to Local Computer
Now open the song you want to convert or the playlist the song is on. Click on the "Add to list" button at the bottom right and then the program will automatically load and arrange the songs in the pop-up window. Once you have selected your target project you can click the "Convert Now" button to start the conversion.
When the progress bar reaches 100%, all the songs selected have been converted. Then you start reading the next section and import the converted YouTube Music into Serato DJ for mixing.
Step 1. Click on the "FILES" button to open the files panel. The left side of this window (the second column from the left) will show you the various locations on your computer's hard drive. Click on the TunePat YouTube Music Converter folder located under My Documents, according to the output path you have previously set for the converted YouTube Music. (This is the default path, if you have made changes, please refer to the actual situation.)
Step 2. Visit this folder and you will find the converted YouTube Music in MP3 format. Double-click on this folder and the items inside will be displayed in the right-hand column.
Step 3. Once you have found the target file, you can select the song directly and drag it onto the desired virtual deck (the blank area at the top of the interface). You are then ready to start mixing.
Tips:
1. By dragging them directly from Windows Explorer (PC) or Finder (Mac), you can also add files and folders to the Serato DJ Pro library.
2. A file will be added to your library when you load it from the file panel into any deck.
