Traktor Scratch PRO

TRAKTOR PRO is the new benchmark in DJ software. Mix digital files on four decks, using the high-quality internal mixer or external hardware, and the best effects suite around. Fully primed for professional use, TRAKTOR PRO redefines the art of DJing.

With streamlined industry-standard workflows, 24 creative new effects, pre-assigned yet flexible MIDI mapping of all major controllers, premium sound quality and up to four playback decks, TRAKTOR PRO is in a class of its own.

FOUR TO THE FLOOR

With four decks, TRAKTOR PRO makes adding tracks, loops or samples a breeze. Ultra-precise beat detection and an automatic beat-grid give you the BPM readings you need for mixing, while the Sync Lock function ensures that beat-matched tracks never drift out of time. Intelligent loop and cue functions let you easily remix tracks on the fly with this state of the art DJ software.

TRAKTOR IN EFFECT

TRAKTOR PRO’s onboard mixer integrates the Allen & Heath™ Xone: 92™ 4-band EQ and filters, giving you full control of the frequency spectrum. The incredible TRAKTOR PRO effects section offers four independent effect units which can load any of the effects either in “single” or in “group” mode allowing to configure unique sounding effect chains. Everything from studio-quality delays to professional tempo-synced performance effects are included in this DJ software, all built using Native Instruments’ REAKTOR technology.

PRECISION INTERFACE

The TRAKTOR PRO user interface has been enhanced for maximum ease of use of our DJ software. High contrast, scalable fonts and intelligent grouping simplify your workflow and keep you focused on the mix. The addition of the intuitive “Crate Flick” search lets you visually flip through your collection’s cover art with ease.

FLEXIBLE SETUP

TRAKTOR PRO is completely flexible. You can use your mouse and keyboard, the new TRAKTOR KONTROL X1, or another MIDI controller — all major controller brands now feature pre-mapped yet fully customizable MIDI assignments for TRAKTOR PRO.
