Serato Studio is one of those delightful bits of software that feels like it was designed for people who want to make music now, not after a three-week pilgrimage through menus and manuals. It borrows the intuitiveness of DJ workflows—cue points, crates, stems—and smuggles them straight into a production environment. The result is a kind of creative trampoline: you bounce in, throw ideas around, and somehow land on a beat that sounds finished enough to show your mates.
