OVERVIEW OF NATIVE INSTRUMENTS TRAKTOR PRO

TRAKTOR PRO from Native Instruments is professional DJ software that marries modern computer technology with certain aspects of "old school" DJ'ing, and in the process extends the creative resources available. At its core, the software features four virtual decks that are automatically sync'd together along with the 21 included effects.

TRAKTOR PRO utilizes ultra-precise beat detection, and a new Sync Lock function ensures that beat-matched tracks never drift out of time. Each of the four decks integrates virtual renditions of Allen & Heath's Xone: 92 4-band EQ and filters, providing for full frequency spectrum control. Content management has been improved and "Crate Flick" emulates the act of finding cues by digging in a record box.

The software has been designed to survive the rigors of the professional club environment and features a clear, functional and practical interface. Visible at a distance, the interface in TRAKTOR PRO is also completely customizable to each artist's specific requirements.

Note! This package is an educational discount that requires proof of current educational status.
