After a well placed teaser weeks ago, Native Instruments finally gave up the goods and announced Traktor Pro 2 today with a release date of April 1st 2011. Traktor Pro 2 is the newest successor in the Traktor line, taking the Traktor Pro S4 features and rolling them into Traktor Pro with a few nice extra touches. They include colored waveforms, multi channel support, and potential for up to 16 concurrent loops! Continue reading for our extensive 10 minute tour of Traktor Pro 2 plus a breakdown of every new feature.
Looking for helpful Traktor Pro 2 tips and tricks? These articles will get you started:
Traktor Pro 2 Essential Info
- available in April
- $229 for the software
- $79 if you have Traktor Pro
- $129 if you have LE
- $0 if you have a Kontrol S4 or Audio 2 USB interface (both available in our online store!)
THE NEW FEATURES
Side By Side Install
- Traktor Pro 2 uses same analysis files as Traktor Pro 1, but does a side by side install so you can revert to T Pro 1 if needed.
New GUI
The new style is similar to the S4, and has a dark rich color palette that may be perceived by some as more professional. It’s actually starting to look more and more like the original Traktor 2 layout which was dominated by black and green tones.
New Deck Sizes
To make your screen less clutter and more feedback, Native Instruments offers a few new deck sizes that maximize or minimize space.
- Essential Deck
- Micro Deck
Multi Colored Waveforms
There are now 4 colored waveform options. Sadly, the one option that is not present is the Traktor 1 style waveforms. Instead you can choose from:
- X-ray
- Infrared (Above)
- Ultraviolet
- Spectrum (Above)
Zoomable Waveforms
- The new waveforms also zoom in really tight for the most accurate cue points you can possibly imagine!
Grid-Lines
The style of grid-lines can be customized in the Deck Preferences. There is now:
- light
- strong (above)
- tick
- invisible
New Platter and Scope
- The size of the platter has been increased by reducing the width of the phase meter.
LOOP RECORDER
4 Sample Decks
- S4 supports samples and loop decks on all 4 decks.
4 New Effects
• Tape Delay
• Ramp Delay
• Bouncer
• Auto Bouncer
Additional Features
- Plugging in a NI sound card will automatically change the audio from internal to the NI sound card and route the outputs so you don’t have to worry about changing settings.
- You can send multiple decks out over the same channel – 4 decks over a 2 channel sound card. (Only with the audio 6 or 10.)
- Future S4’s will ship with Traktor Pro 2 CD’s and all S4’s can also run Traktor Pro (no word on a upgrade price yet)
- Multiple decks can now use the same CD or turntable input.
- Dragging a loop from a deck into a sample slot now copies the tracks filter position.
Pricing and availability
- TRAKTOR PRO 2 – $229 / 199 €
- TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 – $669 / 599 €
- TRAKTOR DUO 2 – $119 / 99 €
- TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO 2 – $399 / 349 €
I Have Trakor Become with the vms4 midi controller, I want the pro version! what I have to do to get it?
I cant get traktor pro to work with my pioneer ddj t1 controller anyone have any suggestions or know what settings need to be adjusted?
I have a DDJ T1, and trying to copy a loop into a sample deck which seems to work, but I cant get the sound of the sample to play. When I first put it on the sample deck the sound says it’s muted which I then undo, but still no sound when I increase the assigned channel fader. Any ideas?
I have a DDJ T1 and can
How can i buy audio 6
in playlist field, how can you select all and write the same thing at once. if i choose artist, select all the artist songs. then write the name of the artist on all the songs at one time. instead of double clicking each song then write the name eighty million times.
I have recorded a mix and there are some transitions that are not quite right. How do I go back into the mix and re-edit the mix?

I have a s4 update with Traktor pro2. Could I now just buy the audio 10 interface and some control records. Our I still will need the scratch version? There’s no battle action going on with the s4 in the middle.

Hi Ean,
Hope everything good with you.
Can you explain how to activate twitterdj in traktor scratch pro 2??
Cheers,

I own the Traktor 2 Pro & Traktor S4.
Is the delay effect in group mode synced to tempo?
What are the parameters exactly the single knob controls?
Is it rate rate and length together?
The knob’s value is from 0 – 100, what does the value represent?
I posted same questions at the Traktor S4 review page.
Hope it is not a problem
🙂
Ean, My Traktor S4 free upgrade from the NI website says on the software
that it’s Traktor Pro not Traktor Pro2 like yours on your tutorial is there a difference….

If your controllers like VCI-100 or NS7 has worked on previous versions of Traktor, like on Traktor pro 1, and you still have your old mapping, you can just import it in Traktor pro 2,
Im using my mixtrack with my traktor pro 1, and then used it in traktor s4 software, I just tinkered a bit on the mapping where I changed the EQ kill buttons on each deck, the view button and tick button so I could use the sampler decks for quick pressing like stabs and drops..
And when I upgraded to traktor pro 2, my mixtrack still works, just made some mods.
In the end, what im trying to say is, don’t wait for ean to post a mapping for your controllers, try making one for yourself which will give all the advantages on how you would like your controllers work on traktor..
And what the other people say is right Ean,
haven’t seen any in depth reviews about other softwares and DJ gears.
Anyways, thanks for this review ean!

Can someone send me a link or walkthrough on how to install the new update. I just bought my S4 and I installed 1.0.1.
I went to install the Traktor 2 update but the file was only like 20 mb and took two seconds to install. I know its got to be larger than that!
It said it installed then I checked at the top to see what version I had and it said I was still using the 1.0.1.
I want T2 inside my S4…Someone please help

no key signature recognition?
Is not possible play samples like a MPC? As on Battery.
Ex:
Sampe is “abcdef”
MPC (PLAY…PLAY…PLAY) = abcabcabcdef
Traktor (PLAY…PLAY…PLAY) = abc-STOP-abcdef
Did you understand-me?
(Sorry, I don’t speak english)
Thank you!
What about OSC compatibility and not just MIDI???
What about OSC compatibility and not just MIDI???
it says near the top its $0 if you have an s4 but than near the bottom its saying you will need to pay for an upgrade to get traktor pro 2. anyone care to explain?
the price of new s4 with t2 will be da same ?

Traktor 2 &Numark V7?????
will it bring a mapping for the vestax typhoon
Does anybody know what happened to the scratch pro upgrade kit?

did they do anything new with the mapping preferences. bigger, better working, more functions, deck swap? anything??
I have paid for upgrades for goodness knows how long and own Traktor Pro – not bad software to be honest. But I wont pay any more for what amoutn to upgrades – I’ll change my mixer and buy Serato Itch with the Denon decks – despite very little work as a mobile DJ and at considerable expense. I just refuse to be ripped off by Native Instruments ever again. And they cannot get their head around placing the waveforms side by side!

Will TP 2 use more CPU than TP 1 ? I never upgraded to the newest version because i made custom midi maps for all my controllers and i did not want the hassle of the new method of controller files not working. Now i am interested since you can run everything side by side, but i wonder if the new stuff will be heavy since i route TP 1 through an Ableton track then out the master. Yeah I know it depends if you pile on FX and all but i wondering in general.

What about the midi mapping section? (strange nobody mentioned it)
Hope they made some substantial change to the settings menu, at least a scalable window… with the current version is too easy to get lost in the mapping page. i would love to see an organized gui, possibility to expand in full screen, and also a search engine. that would save time and lower the chance of mistakes when creating the mapping.

Any word on whether Native Instruments will be bringing elastic (warpable/varied) beat grids to the new version of traktor?
For me this is the one huge gripe i have with traktor.

Also… what about soft sync?
I don’t see how the “essential” mode is really an improvement. Less information? Why?
The GUI looks a bit busy…. too much going on for my liking 😉
Still no overlapping waveforms..
suck my dick ean gold
suck my dick ean gold
suck my dick,
this site is the biggest fanboy shit of all existence
i hope i can map my NS7 to it. Serato Itch is not doing what Traktor has always done for me.
Bin the VCI and get the S4. Its so good it makes the VCI Look like a piece of shit
im so excited and I just can hide it
Does anyone know if Pro2’s beat grids are still ridgid or are they now elastic like Ableton. Also is there VST support so you can use things like Stutter Edit within your sets without having to resort to an external VST host?
As i remarked once again, some products are totally avoided here.
I sent a comment about it in the Battle of the 1s and 0s. Traktor Vs Ableton Vs Serato post. Example : there wasn’t any review concerning Torq 2.0.
If it wasn’t featured at Namm 2011, we wouldn’t have heard of it on djtechtools.
Ean’s answer mentioned that something will be done when it get released.Torq 2.0 is available since february 8th.
I tried to check it today and discovered that my comment and Ean’s answer had been removed.
The latest posts’ title are :
– “Traktor Pro 2 – Officially Announced! (Exclusive Walk Through Video)”, describing the different new features.
It’s a review of the next version of Traktor Pro 2 that will be out in april.
– “The Evolution of Traktor”.
– “New Traktor Audio 6 and 10 Hardware Released”. They will be available in april.
It’s the same for production. Reason is a major software and most international artists who use it were awarded (i think about those whose tracks are featured on NFS underground 1)
Pro Tools is the daw that can be found worldwide in any production, mastering studio. Nothing about it. All about Ableton Live!!!!
I thought that you would be fair concerning all the major softwares out on the market.
I wonder if you really consider your readers or if you are Vestax, Native Instruments, Rane, Ableton shareholders.
Please, pay attention on those who regularly take a look at your tips, advices to step up their games.
That would be more loyal and respectful!!

How is it with the CDJ2000 through usb is it any tighter than the traktor pro and does it transfer the wavelength to the cdj like serato?
Yes, pls tell us how if anything changed with HID on CDJ2000

I don’t like the release date.
I don’t like the release date.
excellent! i can’t wait. i hope this is compatible with the new pioneer DDJ-T1!
can anyone shed any light on this? will there be a free software upgrade like with the s4?

Damn! I spent $700 on TSP 9 months ago! Is there going to be an upgrade for TSP users? Will I be able to somehow upgrade even though I have an Audio 8?
And will the Kontrol S4 be compatible with Traktor Scratch Pro? So I can use the S4, and turntables simultaneously? Is there some kind of hybrid option? lol
If so……SSSSOOOOOLLLLD!

I just wanna see how the samplers are gonna sync up to the playing decks cuz that was implement in torq when it came out.. but didn’t work well on external… only on internal mode…
Can you tell us if this Program will work with the VCI 100se.
vci will live….
deck C- we have 4 buttons below jog, they can be used for loop players(there are 4 of them).
When we hold one of the button and move jog wheel it can be volume of that loop, or hold one button and move filter it can be filter of that loop….
etc
etc
VCI will live 😀
long live vci-100se!!
Will it support the NS7?
They did say Traktor 2 will run beside Traktor 1, therefore if there are probs you can switch back to the previous one as it will still be there.
hmmmm why was my comment erased???!
lol nevermind, i didn’t see that i was sorting by popular comments first 🙂
Seriously…NI, WHY DON’T YOU GIVE US LOOP & CUE SET’s???!!! F***, such a simple feature AND YOU REFUSE TO IMPLEMENTED IT!!! I’m not buying this. Seriously, f*** you NI.
You do realize that you can set loop and cue points in Traktor, right?
Free for S4 users. Cant wait
Oh man, this looks sooooo sick, might be jumping off the VDJ bandwagon finally. Eff! I wish traktor did video, then there would be no question! Still can’t wait to play with this!!!
I’m running TSP 1.2 with an audio 8, will there be an upgrade for me? I bought only 9 months ago! DAMN!
If so ….SOLD
Does this new software make it possible to use TSP with the S4 in a hybrid mode, so that I can use the S4, and use my turntables and traktor scratch simultaneously?
If so ….SOOOOOOLLLLLD!
otherwise ill wait…. 🙁
Are the samplers gonna have any keylock function?????
Hm nice and good upgrade price for my traktor pro, i liked!!!
Still no midi learn?
I am only concerned about how existing two channel soundcards respond to this update. I would love to use it on my setup but not necessarily ready to shell out cash for yet another audio interface. : /
i don’t really like this update.it’s seems to me like an update from 1.1 to 1.2.4 traktor.I don’t really need the sampler or the sampler recorder or the coloured waveform(which serato offers years now).I liked only the new effects and easy connection with other traktor system,but i really don’t think that it’s worh 69 ruros
So exactly what am i to do if i have Traktor Scratch Pro and wants Traktor Scratch Pro 2 but i am happy with my Audio 8 card.
I only need a software upgrade that supports DVS 🙂
Yeah Ean, please dont forget about us VCI100 users!! would love a TP2 mapping, will TP2 still work with TP TSI files?
I like the part where it says “$0 if you have an S4”
I know my comment might be very dumb… hehehe but I’m gonna write it anyway… 😛
I wonder if there would be a nice price for a hardware upgrade also, since I own Traktor Scratch PRO. 🙂
TRAKTOR SCRATCH, TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO,
TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2
HARDWARE UPGRADE
(incl. TRAKTOR AUDIO 10)
Special Offer – 3 Months Only! $449 / 399 €
How will the Xone DX be able to be used here?
1) I wish to know if it’s gonna work without problems with my audio8dj
2) $79 upgrade from Traktor Scratch Pro ?
Still can’t figure out why they don’t stretch the width of the loop selector across the whole free space…
•Multiple decks can now use the same CD or turntable input.
Also possible in the previous version… 😉
This update reminds me of “final crash”, pay for update. If serato would give sync option I would come back to it.
SL1 owners payed 0$ for software update.
Shame.
Can someone clarify, does Scratch Duo only come with the Audio 2? Scratch Pro come with Audio 6 or 10? What are the major differences between Traktor Scratch Pro and LE?
Guys, the VCI-1000 EAN GOLDEN 2nd Edition is the technics mkII of the controllers, it will never die 😉 It reached cult status!
Thanx EAN for the great work you´ve done so far and for the Future of Digital DJing :)))
I don’t mine paying the $119 to upgrade from DUO but here’s the big problem:
I already have the Audio 4DJ for TSP and now I want to use samples in addition to the two decks. In Serato, I can just output my samples on either channel A or B, but now I’d need to upgrade $119 for the software AND Get the Audio 6? Why do I need an audio 6 if I just want to output the samples on either deck? I mean, you should be able to route Deck A to one output Deck B to the other and the sample deck to either A or B. that clearly doesn’t require multiple outputs.
It seems like a sneaky way to force people to upgrade to new audio hardware unnecessarily. while I’m impressed at the new features, I’m also quite upset and surprised at NI for trying to nickel and dime us on this.
I am starting to wonder if investing in NI instead of sticking with SSL was a bad idea. I dont mind paying for updates but please don’t cripple something without a required HW upgrade!
I’m in the same boat as you and I know there are a lot of others who are too.I’d pay the 79 if I knew I could still use the sampler and 2 decks with the audio 4. I use a djm400 too, a two channel mixer… arghhhhh
i dont think you have too… well with the audio 4 you oubviously can only use 2 decks, and with the audio 6 you will still only use 2 decks, the 3rd chanell is for the loop recorder i think…
Tis a shame bro. 2 channel hardware is very limited though. Even before software. When I bought my third turntable, I obviously traded my 2 channel jobby for a three channel. Then I bought my first CDJ, what do you know, new mixer again. Owning a 4 channel mixer, and the audio 8 being the only sound card sold with Traktor Scratch, it all made sense. If you change your media set-up, it’s only natural to have to upgrade the infrastructure. Nothing to complain about these days, to play 4 decks with FX with CDJ’s requires an immense investment.
in the video it showed you can route multiple decks to the same output, so you don’t have to get new hardware. essentially you can run A/C output to A and B/D output to B. I would set up C & D as the sample players. Makes sense right?
You’d think they’d implement the Native Mix Recorder by now.. :/
how compatible will this version be with the upcoming DDJ-T1? will the T1 be supported in the same way as the S4 or will it be left behind with its custom Pro 1 software? will DDJ-T1 owners also be upgraded to Pro 2 for free?
Does anyone know if there will be an upgrade for Scratch Pro to Scratch Pro 2, and how much it will cost? All I see on the website is an upgrade to Pro 2.
If I already have a scratch pro system and just purchase the pro 2 upgrade will I be able to use timecode control?
I came across a little note on createdigitalmusic.com that there
is a new feature called “SoftSync” anyone have details on what
this implements, PK seems to suggest it is a “mode”?
Ean, let us know what are your plans for the 100se. when it come to tp2.
I really hope they’ve improved their time stretching algorithms
Looks like the X1 will get a mapping for the loop recorder and sample decks but not sure if its via midi mode or not.
WHAT ABOUT SOFT SYNC!!!!!!
bah… 7 out of 10min spent describing colored wave forms?! especially considering that 3 out of 4 of them color modes are essentially the same thing with a diff tint, or purely cosmetic.
personally, id like to see them sample decks and that loop recorder thing in more detail. also wouldve been nice to actually hear the new effects, the 5seconds you spent on each didnt showcase much.
seems almost like you felt that you absolutely had to put out a video as soon as possible to grab them early views, but in the rush you kinda forgot to keep the video informative. i mean yeah, finally(!!) we get colored waveforms, but i dont think that its important enough to spend nearly 7min of video on.
maybe its just me, i really couldnt care less about the essential/small/full deck views, a screenshot of those is enough info for me. but the important pieces that will actually affect my performance got lost in all the noise.
So. So. So. Sexy. I can’t wait to upgrade on April 1st!
This traktor 2 is compatible with the numark NS7???
Ean how about a TSI for VCI-100?
Damn I should have waited for a year!!! Traktor S4 does not have 4 decks, deck C and D are sample decks. I think it’s time I consider buying the Reloop Jockey 3 Master Edition. It has four decks and four sample decks, perfect for Traktor Pro 2.
u know u can switch those sample decks right? Ean does it all the time
Ean, does traktor pro 2 have the Xone 4 Band EQ???
Sweet!!! Can download the demo here guys
http://native-instruments.com/#/en/products/dj/traktor/
LOVE THIS!!!! Is it out in April did you say? Thats too long to wait lol
ableton + serato + traktor pro = traktor pro 2
the mappings for the midifighter would they work with traktor pro 2?
THNX for this video
64 Bit or 32 Bit program? They better have gone to 64!
get a mac and it wont matter… lol
Got a mac, and does matter. Things will run smoother and faster with a 64 bit program than 32. Detection will be faster, FX will be less CPU intensive… it does matter. And for the sake of it mattering, 64 bit OS’s have been out for a while now, so in the name of an upgrade, it should be 64 bit.
As someone who has a computer engineering degree, you are talking about marginal improvements at best. You are right if NI did come-out w/ 64 bit mode that would be GREAT, but for most companies its not worth the extra cost in development time… sorry
Nice demo Ean. I’m going to upgrade for sure, 79 bucks is a good deal.
its good to see that Traktor is taking care of it’s customers…
p.s. im digging the new comment section… real classy
Why are they still so resistant to side-by-side waveforms? Thats the only thing I’m jealous of ALL the other DVS programs.
will be pre mapped for midi controllers like ns7?
You can only hope…. I sold my NS7FX 2 weeks ago and bought the TKS4…
massive cpu spike at 5.29 when switching to external. Anyone else concerned about that?
Traktor S4 owners need traktor 2 for free!
ooh table tennis. I’m in!!
Let’s hope for the best.
Sounds like NI wants more users to buy the S4! until another piece of hardware will be announced. Thanks NI.
What about the Deck Sizes? Will there be an option to maximize decks c&d to the same size as decks a&b (unlike the s4-version)? Hope so…
I really hoped for multiple beat grids or track warping.
LMAO it’s coming out April 1st…. I smell an April fools joke coming soon
Sucks I have to pay $79.00 more for of the same thing just to get a sampler.
Think I’m going to get my Akai MPC out of storage and stick with traktor Pro for now. Perhaps invest in a second computer and get back into ableton.
Ean focused mainly on the look of the software, Sampling and some new audio effects.
It looks great and the new tools are cool.
But……….
What about MIDI sync? for use with Ableton, Reason, Hardware Drum machines?
What about the Sampler: Does it warp the samples like Ableton?
Does each sample cell allow you to use a different effect?
No mention about the X1? Any new mappings?
Finally NI should have incorporated the use VST effects ( Like Torq 2.)
Looks like TRAKTOR PRO WITH A FACELIFT!
What’s about the midi controller panel. This is such a pain in the ass. Non resizeable window, no midi-out learn. Are there any improvements?
i hope someone comes out with a badass mapping for using two x1’s that would be amazing
is there any info in the release you have about being able to work with the NS7? Thanks!
I agree with many of the above people. Will you guys at DJTT be submitting a Traktor Pro2 mapping for the vci- 100SE? I sure hope so cuz I love my arcade controller and really want to get my hands on this new version of Traktor.
Hi Ean, great preview. Thanks! Can I use 2 regular decks + sampler decks using an Audio 2 with an external mixer with Traktor Pro 2 as it it’s possible on Traktor Duo 2? Or I have to set the sampler decks as C and D?
TRAKTOR KONTROL S4
SCRATCH UPGRADE* $139 / 129 €
* If you own the S4 AND a digital vinyl system from NI (TRAKTOR SCRATCH, TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO / TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO), you will receive a free SCRATCH UPGRADE.
Wow, I know quite a few DJ’s that purchased the S4 thinking they just needed an update to use Vinyl or CD’s on the S4. Now they have to purchase an upgrade. SAD!
How will they know I own both? Native Instrument Service Center?
Hey, 16 sample decks, thats pretty slick
I’d like some clarification on this little bullet:
You can send multiple decks out over the same channel – 4 decks over a 2 channel sound card. (Only with the audio 6 or 10.)
4 decks over a 2 channel sound card but its only with the A8 or A10?
Does he actually mean a 2 channel mixer with an A8 or A10?
It’s ON ive wanted an S4 but havent decided to trade in my vci100SE..nevertheless i will be upgrading for sure!!
Ean,
I saw you had cutpoints in your sample banks, How can you trigger them with an S4?
Can you go into more detail about them?
I also am intrigued about said cue points in the sample decks ease explain… Thanks in advance can’t wait!!!
This is so damn exciting! 🙂 Not only is this a win for Traktor users but now I can’t wait to see the Serato response.
so glad i don’t have to wait to buy an S4 now.
are they getting rid of the multi core cables?
Still have to reload all your samples into the decks?
Still wont autoload the samples connected with the song?
This is Huge! Great article and rundown of the new TSP 2.
Is mapping changed in anyway? Do we have more modifiers than 8 or more conditions than 2?
So much talk about a VCI mapping…. I bet there’ll be a mapping within a week of its release. maybe even before its official release.
Wow, another blow to Serato!!! I will wait ’til April to pick up the S4 controller bundled with Pro 2. It’s like saving another $80 off the price.
Some observations:
-The colored waveforms make a big difference while you’re looping.
-When will they allow a 3-band eq setting on the delay efx- just like the pioneer efx box ???
-I love the option to kill the view of the crossfader and other items too!
There was no mention in this article of an updated MIDI mapping interface? Am I correct in assuming this feature is still as poor, manual and generally un-user-friendly as it is now? (please oh please tell me you didn’t get a chance to look at this yet…..)
It looks like the preference panes have received a bit of an overhaul. But what about the all-important Controller manager ?
Same question here Nic. Any word, Ean?
Very excited about the new stuff!
-I assume I will be able to run my Audio 8 DJ with TSP 2, since Ean was able to hook up the Audio DJ 2?
-If “$79 if you have Traktor Pro” is the real price….A+ !
Delicious. As a former Serato guy, I’ve been really waiting for colored waveforms. And the super-zoom is brilliant!
Will there be VCI 100 SE support for this?
any word on a keylock for sample decks?
any word on a keylock for sample decks?
so wait you will be able to run cdj’s/vinyl thu the S4 using time code’s ?

im not overly impressed with this new “version”. Seems to just be a bit of a facelift and the addition of the sample banks.
What about loop roll? Video? VST support?
Was hoping for a bit more but i guess what is already there works just fine. This just seems like a minor step forward instead of the giant leap like we saw with T3 to TPro.
I suppose once the better Maschine intergration comes along we’ll then have VST via Mashine, not 100% ideal I know but the new update soon to be released for Maschine once paired with Traktor will be easily as big a deal as Ableton/SSL Bridge. For some the S4 being around a few months now may of watered down how much of a big deal the loop recorder and sample decks are. For me there massive features that I’ve wanted for a very long time. Preset BeatMasher = loop roll (ish) but I certainly agree video will be nice one day as it’s the only feature of SSL that could tempts me to switch.
Yeah Maschine & TSP integration would be REALLY interesting.
The beatmasher work around doesnt really do the trick for me. Seems so wasteful using up all those effects banks for 1 effect.
I do like the sample decks but it strikes me as the only “real” new feature that comes with T2. The rest off the tweaks are just that, tweaks.
I do like how you can assign multiple decks to the same output though!

Just so we are all clear: as it appears to the Video walkthrough. The upgrade is FREE for all S4 users. The free upgrade only includes Traktor Pro 2 (No DVS).
For S4 Users that want to upgrade to Traktor SCRATCH Pro 2 (DVS) then there is a $139 charge. (Includes timcode vinyl & CDs)
You are ABLE to use Traktor SCRATCH Pro 2 with your current Audio 8. According to the video, you can use every feature of the software (including multiple decks into one channel).
The upgrade Price for Traktor SCRATCH Pro 2 from Traktor SCRATCH Pro (1) is $400, BUT it does include the new Audio 10.
What I don’t know is what is the upgrade price for Traktor SCRATCH Pro 2 from Traktor SCRATCH Pro (1), NOT including the Audio 10 (Software ONLY)
*************
I own TSP (DVS) and an S4, I’ll pay for the new software, but I don’t need another Audio interface, my current is fantastic.

Really? Well that is AMAZING NEWS, thanks man…
Yes, it says on the pricing page…”* If you own the S4 AND a digital vinyl system from NI (TRAKTOR SCRATCH, TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO / TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO), you will receive a free SCRATCH UPGRADE.”
SWEET!! But I wonder if that includes me who all ready had a free upgrade from T3 to TP?
If you own TSP & S4 – T2 Software Upgrade is FREE
If you only own TSP – T2 Software Upgrade is $79 / 69 €

Such relatively small updates…. does this really need a new version number with the accompanying new version price tag… i don’t think so myself.

Advanced zoom on the waveforms is very handy, like the looks of the sample decks…makes traktor a lot more interesting.

Think everyone knew it was coming. NI ALWAYS reduce the price just before a new release, that applies to everything they do. To be fair, if you bought it (Pro) for 99EUR and then upgrade for 69EUR, you’re getting a bargain.
I’d like to see an official APC40 mapping though 🙂

” * Plugging in a NI sound card will atomically change the audio from internal to the NI sound card and route the outputs so you don’t have to worry about changing settings.”
automatically, not atomically.
Can’t wait for this, though the first of april release date makes me suspeicious this is all an elaborate prank on NI’s behalf

Any info on whether multi-core support has been implemented? The previous versions of TSP only used 1 core. Any idea on TSP2?

Does anyone have any idea about anything new with midi mapping? Are they making it easier to view all midi commands by either resizing the window or allowing users to resize it or to have a built in TSI reader or anything new to help with that. If anyone has an idea down there in SF let me know thanks. Can’t wait for my copy to ship.

thats bs why should we pay for software updates serato is free and so should our software we paid alot of money for native instruments traktor and have to pay more for software updates that crap i think im switching to serato even though i like traktor more i understand paying for the sound card but not for the new software bull shit

Ean! How about the midi mappings for the VCI 100SE?
With you on that

agreed…
word. I think itd be great if Ean can replace the loops section and swith it with the new sample decking.
ya, the VCI-100 is kinda running out of space…
Ad the x1 to the VCI setup and i think it will handle every features on TSP2….

I tend to disagree, the VCI is great and a more compact and affordable alternative to the excellent S4. Can you fit a Pro X fade, add arcade buttons in the S4 etc…
Hi,
I hope not! I think Ean and the techtool team will come up with something……

So i have a 2 channel soundcard…but in the description it says that i need an audio 6 or 10 to run 4 decks…but in the vid ean said u can do it with an audio 2…im confused lol

If I just upgrade to TSP2 software will I see decreased latency using my Audio 8DJ? Planning on getting a DN-X1600 soon so a TA-10 does me no good. Also you for got to mention the new auto bpm sync feature. I know you guys are VERY busy and any answer you may have will be greatly appreciated.

I wonder if there standard is a mapping for the X1 Kontrol to use with the sample decks, and sample recorder!, instead of the normal deck loop and FX kontrol

Hey Ean/Techtools cru, whats the score with the cue point markers in the sample slots? Does that mean we now have hot cue control over the samples. Plus did I hear you right in regards to not having access to midi volume controls when routing multiple decks to one external input in external mode??

like the 10 outputs on the audio 10 for sampling, dislike the loss of xlr mic and need for a power supply

does anyone know if TSP2 will be compatible with the audio 8 and if there will be an “upgrade” price? i dont really wanna pay 599 for TSP2, unless it comes with the new audio 10 interface included in the price. but still, im happy with my audio 8 and would be content continuing to use it if its compatible with TSP2 and 599 is pretty steep just for software :/

“Audio Routing

So I would have to buy a new sound card to use this feature? Ean states in the video that it would work with a a Audio 2, so not sure what the deal is exactly. Can someone clarify. Thanks.

Annoying but It’s understandable this will only be pos on the new soundcards otherwise there will be little point in upgrading. A month back I actually thought the release of the Audio 10 would mean they would never free up midi faders in external mode meaning if I wanted to use all the decks and loop recorder I would have to use a chunky four channel mixer. Which really sucks as a scratch dj. But once I get my hands on the new soundcard I can now route both sample decks C and D in to the session/aux in on my 08, jenga!

I couldn’t be less excited by the colour waveforms, all that time, money and research spent on hushing ex SSL users. In your average DAW a visual representation of audio is far more important than it is to a dj. But yet non of the major DAWs use different colours to represent different frequencies, for me that fact alone kind makes a mockery of the so called need for all those different colour’s. I suppose it helps for new tracks you don’t know well, but there once was a time when all we had was different shades of grooves in your vinyl to go by. How did the colour waveform lovers survive back then? Hey hoo, more detail is never a bad thing, I’m shaw I’ll learn to like them.

I’m still waiting for some hardware to blow my mind the way the VCI 100 did when I first got it. Until then, as much as I love the new updates… I’m not upgrading from T Pro 1. I am also sure the bugs will start pouring in for T Pro 2 so I’ll just wait out the storm 🙂

I’m guessing the $79 offer won’t last long.. and besides, NI is pretty good about updates.
For me, money isn’t as much of an issue as bugs. The fewer bugs, the happier Beatsnatcher 🙂
Why do you do you think they’ll change the price?

rad. thanks Ean. says in the overview write up under audio routing:
4 decks out on a 2 channel sound card (only with Audio 6 or 10) i’m confused. your video suggests that its possible with an audio 2. so i’m really hoping this is possible with my audio 4.

both audio 4/8 will be compatible. a friend of mine tests for native, so we’ve had a look at the software for a couple of months now.
As a korg Zero 4 Owner, I’d be keen to see if this still supports previous traktor skratch certified mixers. It’d be really crappy if it didn’t.

I do believe the certified mixers will remain the same, so you should be good. I’m basing this guess on the fact that the pricing has been upgrade but the certified mixers have stayed the same.

Looking good, but we still have to wait untill April 1st and they only have the old TSP Demo available now. So no testing possible.
Will keep playing with Torq 2 (came out this week without any mentions on DJTechtools) untill then.

will you be able to hook up turntables to the s4 and use its built in soundcard to use timecode with this new software?
Anyone know if this gives S4 owners the 4 band EQ now?

Im wondering if it will work with the current audio 8 as well.
Also why wont sending multiple decks work with the audio 8?
“You can send multiple decks out over the same channel – 4 decks over a 2 channel sound card. (Only with the audio 6 or 10.)”
I just bought traktor a month and a half ago and I feel like im getting the shaft too soon.

Any news on a new beatgrid method similar to warping?
I second that!!

Is DJ Tech Tools planning on creating mappings for the VCI-100SE for Traktor 2? I converted from Serato purely because of the controllerism potential of the custom mappings for the VCI. I’ve been really considering the switch to Ableton, but all the sample decks would satisfy my need for adding in my own beats to the mix.
awesomeness

S4 get Pro 2 for free. Scratch Upgrade for S4 is free, for *Scratch owners and 129EUR for the rest.
And still they refuse to make a version for actual scratch/hip hop djs with a layout more like scratch live with stacked waveforms and extra large platters. I bought TSP the first month it came out. I sat and waited for a better layout. Guess it will never come.
I’m a Turntablist and I get on on fine with the layout, plus Craze, Klever, Shiftee, Rafic and Grand Master Flash seem to be fine with it too.
none of the other djs use Traktor Scratch in real performance. I have seen craze , klever and more in real life and never once have I ever seen them use TRAKTOR SCRATCH, always scratch live.
You dont need stacked or columned wave forms for scratching, you need it for beat juggling though. There is something called sticker drift and the accuracy of the DVSs in relation to where the song is compared to the marked sticker on the turntable is Highly inaccurate making it ridiculously hard to beat juggle and know just where you are.
Shiftee says you’re wrong:
Trust me, doing it on the fly and not having pre programmed set in a controlled environment is very different. I have had every version of TS dating back to Final Sratch 1.0 and getting TSP the first week it came out. I have waited for several issues to be addressed to switch to it full time from Scratch Live. Its much harder to do stuff live when you cant match your stickers. Another thing it does not have yet is needle dropping in relative mode to absolute position. A MUST in my workflow.
Sounds like you should just jump ship to SSL mate! Traktor clearly isn’t working for you. True I’m not the most advanced juggling turntablist but I can hold my own and I get on fine free styling random patterns when playing out on Traktor. Stacked waveforms would be handy for un quantized wandering beats but personally I don’t like features that take my attention towards the screen. I would suggest winding your latency right down to 3 or lower if pos but I’d guess you’ve all ready tried that.
Shiftee says you’re wrong:
Well on my laptop I don’t have any issue with sticker drift at all, if there was even a tiny amount of drift the system would be un useable to me! I admit I’ll always prefer to scratch with real wax as it just sounds better but seriously why on earth would you want to be gazing at a a screen while beat juggling?! Plus most top end dj’s have both systems, the last I saw Craze he was on Traktor Pro.
Did you see a turntablist that looking on screen while doing beat juggling? No! Because it’s lame. If you can beat juggle and scratch you don’t give a damn what happen on your computer screen.

you don’t need side by side waveforms to scratch, actually you don’t need waveforms

Phase meter is doing a similar job when visually beatmatching. Having the correct beatgrid that is

Please explain to me how stack waveforms cater to hip hop DJs.

I think the layout is fine as is. Been that way since 2000. I suppose you got used to serato being vertical.
This is logical for us fellas pal.

Hmm I actually expected a free Traktor 2 update for S4 owners… I paid for the orignal Traktor Pro, then bought a S4 and paid again for a little upgrade, and now I have to upgrade again. All in less than 1,5 year..
Current S4 Owners will receive a free upgrade: http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/dj/traktor-pro-2/?page=2004
Ahahaha. I JUST bought the S4 yesterday. Outdated already!
It’s not outdated.
do you honestly think NI would go through the trouble of spending months on R&D for a flagship controller only to have it be outdated with a new software release? that would be like digging your own grave… honestly, people. think a little harder.

NI should give S4 owners a free upgrade to Traktor 2..
Exactly, how are they to explain otherwise? New buyers will get Traktor 2 + free upgrades for as long as 2 will be around, while current S4 users have had zero updates and are left in the dust. You can’t explain that.
[edit]
Ah nice, they won’t have to, free pizza for Traktor S4 users, whoooo!
Where did you read that it is free? I know that new S4 buyers will get them but I just purchased my S4 a month or so ago, and I will be upset if NI doesn’t let us upgrade for free.
I mean why would you drop the Traktor S4 with the Traktor S4 program if 3 months later you are coming out with Traktor Pro 2..
In the pricing on the NI site it says S4 owners will get a free update to T2 and a $139 upgrade option to TS2.

will it work with the audio 8 and do i need a new whole software or just an update
Agreed. I already paid $599, dont feel like having to buy a brand new audio card and control CD/Vinyls. If it is, i won’t mind paying $229

The upgrade options list Audio 8 and 4 owners as eligible for the upgrade to TS2 so yes it will work.

Right but if you want to use the sample deck on a 2-channel mixer then you will have to upgrade the sound card…. I’m not sure if thats something I want to do just yet….
