For Serato DJs
See your set before you play it.
Setboard reads your Serato crates, listens to every track for its energy, and grades each transition by key, tempo and energy. Plan the night on a board, hear the mixes, and export the order straight back into Serato.
Your library, on disk.
Point it at the folder with _Serato_. Crates, keys and BPMs load in seconds.
Energy from the audio.
Not a tag you type. Intro, drop and outro found for you. No AI, no cloud.
Back into Serato.
Export writes a real crate. Cue points, loops and beatgrids untouched.
How it works
-
1
Open a crate, press Analyse
Each track is decoded on your computer and measured: an energy score from 1 to 10, its intro and outro length, and where the first drop lands. Key and BPM come from Serato, or are detected when missing. Results are cached, so a crate only takes time once.
-
2
Build the set on the board
Drag tracks into order. The energy arc draws across the top so you can see the shape of the night. Every transition gets a green, amber or red badge, and clicking it explains why: key relation, tempo gap, energy step, and whether there is room to blend.
-
3
Hear it, then export
Preview any transition as a real mix: outro under intro, crossfaded, with the next track pitched to tempo. Happy? Export writes the set into Serato as a crate. Restart Serato and it is there.
What you get
Energy you can trust
Scored from hits per second, brightness, loudness, tempo, bass and density, so a quiet master and a loud one of the same groove score the same. The Inspector shows every input.
Camelot key grading
Same key, neighbours, relative major and minor, energy-boost moves. Every transition is checked on the wheel and the badge tells you what kind of move it is.
Real transition preview
Two decks. A's outro under B's intro with an equal-power crossfade, B pitched to A's tempo within 8 %, nudge by the beat. Tempos further apart get a clean cut.
Play-next suggestions
After the last track on the board, Setboard ranks the rest of your crate by how well it follows. Drag a suggestion straight in.
Intro, drop, outro
Found from the audio for every track. Jump to any of them with one click to check a mix point.

Questions
Which DJ software does Setboard work with?
Serato DJ Pro and Serato DJ Lite. Setboard reads the _Serato_ folder in your Music folder or on an external drive, and writes crates back into it. Rekordbox and Traktor are not supported yet.
Does Setboard upload my music?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Tracks are decoded and analysed on your computer, results are cached locally, and nothing is sent to a server. The only network calls are to check a licence key.
How is energy calculated?
Setboard listens to the audio and blends six measurements: hits per second in the loud sections, brightness above 3 kHz, loudness, a mild tempo prior, bass weight, and how much of the track runs at full intensity. It is signal processing, not AI, and the Inspector shows every input so you can see why a track scored what it did.
Will it change my cue points or beatgrids?
No. Export only writes a new .crate file into _Serato_/Subcrates. Your database, cue points, loops and beatgrids are never touched.
Which browser should I use?
Chrome or Edge, for one-click export straight into Serato. Firefox and Safari can open your library and analyse tracks, and download the crate file for you to drop into Serato yourself.
My library is on an external drive. Does that work?
Yes. Chrome refuses to grant a website the root of a drive, so use the “Choose the folder the other way” link on the app's start screen, which has no such limit. Export then downloads the crate.
How much does it cost?
The free version analyses up to 50 tracks and saves 3 sets, and export is always included. A licence is a one-time payment of US$24 and unlocks unlimited analysis and sets on up to 3 computers. There is no subscription.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If Setboard does not work for your library, reply to your licence email within 14 days and you will be refunded in full.
