In Serato DJ, what is the difference between ABS, REL, and INT?

ABS stands for 'absolute' where the vinyl mimics real vinyl. Dropping the needle at the start of a record will cue the beginning of the track. Lift the needle and move it half way down the vinyl and you will go to mid-way through the track, just like real vinyl.

REL stands for 'relative' where the position you drop the needle on the record will cue to the relative position you are at in the track. Basically, you can drop the needle anywhere and it will start the track from the beginning, lift the needle and drop it half way down the vinyl and it will play from the same place in the song you lifted it from.

INT stands for 'internal' where all track control is performed by keyboard shortcuts or midi input. The control vinyl does nothing.

When I connect my vinyl turntables to my DS1, I hear a consistent hum. How do I fix this?

It is very important that when you connect your turntables to your DS1, you're connected correctly from your DJ mixer. Follow the following steps to correctly setup vinyl turntables with the DS1 and Serato.

Connect your vinyl turntables LEFT and RIGHTRCA's to the LEFT and RIGHTINPUTS on your DS1.
From your DS1, set your PHONOCD switch to PHONO.
Ground your turntables by either using your DJ mixers GND or DS1's GND.
From your DJ mixer, connect the LEFT and RIGHTLINEINPUTS to your DS1's LEFT and RIGHTOUTPUTS. **Do not connect from your DJ mixers PHONOINPUTS.
That's it!

Can I record directly in Serato DJ with the DS1?

No, not currently. There is no Aux Input featured inside the interface and the audio is mixed externally in a DJ mixer, not in the Serato DJ software. Because the final mix does not come through Serato or the DS1, the mix will need to be routed back into the computer before it can be recorded.

We've put together a guide to walk you through an easy method of recording your mixes using a free software called Audacity. See the guide below:
