Invigorating performance potential
After two decades of refining and honing the Traktor experience, Native Instruments hasn’t lost the edge. More than 40 studio-grade FX come with Traktor Pro 3, any of which can be applied to your master output or individual channels and samples. Plus, the new Mixer FX allows you to craft distinctive, personalized, multifaceted expression tools that utilize a 1-knob design for unmatched modulation. The addition of three new filters, on top of the eight MFX choices, put a world of emphasis right at your fingertips, all customizable to make your sonic signature. Plus, when it comes to Traktor DJ controllers, you know you’re getting the complete array of Traktor Pro 3’s potential, from integration with NI’s patented Haptic Drive technology to feeling every beat of your set to pattern recording and more.
An adaptable ecosystem of hybrid opportunity
Let’s be honest: there’s no single, proper way to DJ, and the sheer number of ways we can interface with sound is only growing. With that in mind, Traktor Pro 3 is outfitted with several accommodating features to ensure anything from standard approaches to wild, hybrid setups are cleared for takeoff. For starters, Traktor Scratch is included right out of the box, allowing DVS DJs to incorporate time code vinyl with any soundcard they prefer — you’re not limited to just Traktor Scratch-certified mixers and soundcards! Plus, deep MIDI sync, learn, and mapping capabilities let you quickly integrate controllers of virtually every flavor. You can even use DVS, MIDI controllers, Ableton Link, and DJ tools simultaneously!
Stems and samples are only the beginning
Smartlists and library-sync tools keep tracks organized and available, allowing you to customize them within Traktor for on-the-fly and standby set building. Remixing takes on an entirely new dimension for both deliberate and emergent possibilities, thanks to the Stems and Remix decks. One-shot samples of your choice are ready to go, and loops can be easily managed for any number of transitions, build-ups, and more. You can even use more samples and loops across decks in real time if you happen upon something in the moment. Moreover, the onboard Elastique 3 engine introduces a plethora of mixer modeling options alongside a newly improved master limiter and unparalleled time-stretching tools. To top things off, the Stems format lets you split bass, drums, vocals, and melodies into four distinct tracks, all in real time, opening completely new worlds for mixing, re-editing, and blending.
