When Serato starts playing in reverse press "Q" (left deck) or "A" (right deck) to undo reverse****2. Use "Control or Command + F" to instantly search for a track****3. Accidentally loaded a track to the wrong deck? Press "Control or Command + Z" to undo track load****4. To zoom in/out on the main waveform, press "+" or "-" to zoom in or out****5. To use your iTunes library in Serato, go to Settings>Library>Display and select "Show iTunes Library"****6. To play a track in Serato, press "W" (left deck) or "S" (right deck)****7. Want to keep haters - that are looking over your shoulder - from knowing what song you're going to play next? Go to Settings>Library>Display and select "Hide track/artist" (DJ AM Mode)****8. To load a track in Serato, press "Shift + left arrow" or "Shift + right arrow" for the left and right decks****9. You can also adjust your brake time in Serato settings to give you a nice tape stop sound effect to spice up your transitions. Go to Settings>DJ Preferences and adjust the "braking" stop time**Then in the replies a couple of knowledge bombs... From [DJ Ric Roc](https://www.instagram.com/djricroc/) - **"T/Y + G/H helps bend tracks forward or backwards. Good to use if ever in internal mode"**Then [DJ C Bee](https://www.instagram.com/djcee_b/) dropped this gem - **"Cmd + L is the life saver. Takes you back to the song that’s currently playing within your crate"**Give the Instagram a follow for the best hints & tips, memes and news updates!
