Can't record with Serato DJ Pro when Pioneer FLX4 is plugged

DeejaySlamBB ! 6:54 PM - 4 January, 2025
Hello,

When the FLX4 is plugged recording works, and when i unplug it there's no audio signal.

Is it normal or is it a bug ?

Thank you

You must have the Serato Play Plugin for record function to work offline.

also Tidal and streaming apps wont allow you to record, just incase you didnt know.

Hello,

Actually i'm able to use the record function "offline" (if i get right what offline means), the issue is when the controller is plugged

offline is when you unplug your controller from your laptop

when you unplug your controller, Serato goes offline, and if you dont have "Serato Play" plugin then the record button wont show, in 2 deck mode

Ok so as i said earlier i'm able to record offline, the issue is when the controller is plugged.

Any idea ?

this is what you said, from your first comment.

so now your saying it does not record when you plug your controller in?

you also said Serato records offline,

its a lil confusing,

when you plug your controller to your laptop and start serato, are you able to see the record button?

are you trying to record Tidal music and other streaming apps?

you might need to create a video then upload it and share the link here.

Sorry,

rely on the title of the post not my first sentence, i wrote the opposite of what i was thinking.


I can see the the record button, record start but there is no audio signal, so recorded file is empty. No problem when the controller is UNPLUGGED.
And i'm not trying to record Tidal, but my own music.

Thanks

thats no good when some one is trying to help you. your info is important so the community can try and help you.

are you using Serato DJ pro?

or are you using Serato DJ Lite?

next to the record button to the left is a drop down menu that says "mix" click that and change it to FLX4

I use Serato DJ Pro, and FLX4 is not available, only "mix"...

Alright than you

Which OS are you using? May need to allow permissions in order to record in Serato.

The issue with the FLX4 is likely due to audio routing. When plugged in, it’s the default device for recording, including Spotify. When unplugged, your system may not switch to another input, causing no signal. Check your audio settings in Serato and your system to fix this.

Hello,

Please refer to the title of the post, not my first sentence. I wrote the opposite of what I was thinking (don't know how to correct it). Therefore the issue is when the FLX4 is plugged, not when it's unplugged.

Thank you.

Hello,

I found how to fix the issue.

Actually user has to allow Serato Dj Lite to access the microphone in Mac OS. I ignored the prompts because i did not think it was relevant since i don't need to use a mic in Serato, but it is important to allow this, to prevent different issues, such as recording issues.
