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, all built using Native Instruments' REAKTOR technology.
