NATIVE INSTRUMENTS: TRAKTOR 2




Lo si aspettava da tempo vista l'uscita combinato con il controller S4 ed è arrivato.
Il nuovo Traktor 2, versione evoluta del software diventato un must per i Djs degli ultimi anni, in uscita il 1 Aprile 2011, e non sarà uno scherzo!
Queste le sostanziali novità, aggiunta di effetti, forma d'onda ben definita sia nei colori che negli strumenti  con divisione tra kick, snare etc, loop recorder, ed i 4 slot per i sample più un contenuto di loop inclusi.
Non vi sono differenze enormi tra la versione originale e la 2.
Qui sotto tutte le specifiche tratte dal sito ufficiale.
Costo 199€ 



With an easy on the eye interface, including Essential View and the new TruWave hi-res colored waveforms, TRAKTOR software is now easier to use than ever.




TruWave waveforms offer a whole new dimension to your mix - differentiate between kicks, hi-hats and snares and anticipate your mix

Thanks to various zoom levels, set up tighter cue points than ever before

The overview of the whole track (“stripe”) clearly displays the track’s arrangement with full detail

New layouts, including Essential View for maximum ease-of-use when using TRAKTOR with external mixer and controller(s)

With the innovative Sample Decks containing four slots each, you can enter the world of live remixing and editing in ways unimaginable before.




Grab and layer your own loops or use the included loop content. Create one-shot samples or use the included DJ Craze scratch sounds

Grab loops live out of a running deck, store your favorites in the loop library, and develop your own arsenal of beats and sounds

Layer up loops in perfect sync with the decks

PRO versions only: Tweak the volume and filter for each Sample Deck slot separately

PRO versions only: 2 different sizes for the Sample Decks; each of the 4 decks can be switched from track deck to Sample Deck and vice versa, on the fly

TRAKTOR PRO 2 adds 4 stunning, much–requested new effects, taking the total to 32, all syncing to track or master tempo.


Tape Delay, Ramp Delay, Bouncer and Auto Bouncer join the arsenal of professional DJ effects, taking the potential for sound mangling to the extreme

With a multi-channel audio interface such as the TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 you can now use TRAKTOR effects as an independent send / receive effects unit

TRAKTOR 2 software includes amazing loops and sounds from in-demand sound providers for use with the new Sample Decks.




40 original loops and 10 full tracks drawn from Loopmasters’ new DJ Mixtools series, plus additional scratch sounds by DMC Champ DJ Craze

Drum, bass, percussion and synth loop in dubstep, minimal, house, techno and trance styles

Grab loops from any playing track in seconds, and save them in the loop library

With the brand-new Loop Recorder in the PRO 2 versions of TRAKTOR, you can record live loops from any channel (single or multiple), the live input feeds, or the master output.




Trigger the recording using a foot pedal, a DJ controller such as TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 or a keyboard hot key

Overdub on top of the running loop in real time, creating additional layers and heightening dramatic FX buildups and peaks

Works like a 5th deck. You can transfer the layered loop into a Sample Deck slot instantly, freeing up the Loop Recorder for further use
