Song Analysis
Song analysis begins when you press the DJ-808’s [LOAD] button to load
a song into a deck, but if you’re using Serato DJ as an oine player (i.e.,
without the DJ-808 being connected), you can analyze songs ahead of
time.
If analysis is nished for a song, the BPM and waveform are displayed
immediately after you load that song into a deck.
For details on how to analyze songs with the oine player, refer to the
Serato DJ owner’s manual.
* Depending on the number of songs, analysis might take some time.
