(If you prefer to mark your records at the needle position of approx. 1 – Mark your Serato Control Vinyl Records at TRUE 12 o’clock. The following instructions were sourced from the Serato Forums. Sticker sync is an unofficial hidden feature / easter egg. Sticker sync works by dividing the record in half – for example, if your sticker is set to 12 o’clock, if you drop the needle on to the track between 6 and 12 o’clock you play the record forward to 12 o’clock to get to the sample / cue point, if you drop the needle between 12 and 6 o’clock, you rewind the record backward to get to the sample / cue point. It saves a lot of time and hassle, especially when doing routines that require speed! Without using Sticker Sync, you would have to remember to manually move your record into the 2 or 12 o’clock position then drop the needle to trigger the cue point in the correct place. The sample will always start at your chosen sticker mark. When Sticker Sync is enabled, no matter where you drop the needle on a track, for example at say 11 o’clock, 6 o’clock etc, the sample won’t play until your sticker gets to 2 o’clock (or 12 o’clock if you prefer)! It’s similar to how you mark up your vinyl for juggling – marking where the sample starts. Drop the needle on track 3 – cue point 3 is triggered wherever you drop the needle… and so on for all 5 cue points.

Drop the needle on track 2 – cue point 2 is triggered wherever you drop the needle.

Sticker Sync uses Serato’s existing drop to cue feature and takes it one step further. Sticker Sync is a hidden feature inside Serato Scratch Live.Īpparently it’s due to be upgraded to an official feature in the next version of Serato DJ: 1. I recently spotted this excellent video explanation of Serato Scratch Sticker Sync from DJ Ricky Jay:
