To provide DJs with useful information about how to best choose, set up, and operate all the components in a computer-based DJ system, Native Instruments has recently launched its DJ Hardware Guide, an extensive online resource that caters to DJs of all styles and levels. It explains the basics in a way that’s easily understood by newcomers and details different setup types ranging from compact laptop-only setups to professional time-code-controlled systems. Special attention is given to different types of hardware controllers and how they are best combined to form a powerful and affordable DJ system.
The guide ties in with the recently announced “TRAKTOR Ready” compatibility label and includes a comprehensive buyers’ guide with detailed information on all controllers that are guaranteed to provide full compatibility with TRAKTOR 3, TRAKTOR SCRATCH and TRAKTOR LE.
