🎛
Live Deck Display
All 4 decks at a glance: BPM, Camelot key, cover art, waveform and duration — live from Serato. Deck colors run through the entire library so matching tracks are instantly recognizable. Click a deck to open the full track detail dialog.
🎵
Guest Interaction
Guests open the web app via QR code on their phone — no installation, no account. They browse the complete library, suggest tracks, and vote for others' suggestions. You see all suggestions sorted by votes and decide with a click.
🎹
Harmonic Recommendations
The Camelot Wheel live in the library: tracks that harmonically match one or more decks are color-highlighted — exact matches more strongly than compatible neighbors. Works for all 4 decks simultaneously, with BPM half- and double-time hints.
🔗
Spotify Integration
Add Spotify tracks directly to Serato crates. Import personal playlists and Liked Songs. Guests can also suggest Spotify tracks — BPM and key are analyzed by Serato. OAuth login for playlists, search also works without an account.
✦
Last.fm Recommendations
Similar tracks to the currently playing song — filtered and sorted by local library match. Search directly on Spotify from the panel, submit as a guest suggestion, or drop into a crate. Works for all active decks simultaneously.
📺
Display Mode
A dedicated view for stage screens and projectors without controls: active decks with large cover art, BPM, key and deck color. Below it, a running setlist with thumbnails and timestamps. No login, no refresh needed.
〰
Waveform & Analysis
Serato OVB waveform data is read directly and displayed as a colored waveform. Where no Serato data is available, Crowdfader automatically analyzes BPM and key via Essentia — silently in the background, without a Serato restart.
📋
Setlist & History
Complete session history with timestamps and play counts. Visible as a setlist on the projector in display mode, accessible for guests in the web app. Per-track statistics show how often and when a song was played.
📤
Track Upload
Load new tracks directly from the browser into the Serato library — via drag & drop or file dialog. Crate assignment right at upload. BPM and key analysis start automatically in the background as soon as the file lands.
🌿
Smart Crates
Rule-based virtual crates that dynamically fill from the library: filters by BPM range, Camelot key, genre or free text — combinable. No crate file, no manual maintenance. Ideal for genre sets or tempo blocks.
📂
Serato Direct Access
Reads and writes the Serato database files directly, without going through an external API. Crates, tracks and metadata are visible in under 2 seconds — no Serato restart, no file export.
📱
PWA & Mobile
Installable as a Progressive Web App on iOS and Android — behaves like a native app, without the App Store. The guest view is fully touch-optimized: large tap targets, swipe navigation, compact deck cards.
⚡
Real-time Sync
WebSocket push for all connected devices simultaneously. New suggestion, fresh vote, library change — everyone sees it instantly without a reload. Works over local WiFi and via ngrok tunnel for external guests.
🔐
DJ Authentication
Optional PIN protection for the DJ view. Activates automatically when Crowdfader is reachable via a public tunnel. The guest view always remains open — DJ functions stay protected.
