Pure & Simple 

As stated above, TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 features an intuitive software interface, as well as TruWave frequency-specific colored waveforms for a new experience in mixing. Thanks to Auto Detection and configuration for NI audio interfaces, you can set up in seconds, while TRAKTOR AUDIO 10's Direct Thru function makes switching DJs in the club a breeze. The SoftSync feature adds a new level of tempo-awareness to TRAKTOR SCRATCH that expands your mixing options when using vinyl control. 

 

Raw Power 

Powering this premium system is the ultimate DJ audio interface, TRAKTOR AUDIO 10. It features ten inputs and ten outputs for ultimate connectivity, Cirrus Logic converters for supreme audio quality, and low latency drivers. Its robust build, punchy outputs, club-readable LEDs, and slim profile make it the interface of choice for the world's biggest DJs. Connect up to four turntables via the four stereo phono preamps, and spin super-precise 2kHz control signal on 120g vinyl—it feels just like your digital track was cut to a 12-inch. 

 

Creative Tools 

TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 offers an incredible range of creative options to define your individual sound. The intuitive looping and cueing functions have been enhanced with the addition of Sample Decks, making live remixing and re-editing a cinch. Grab and layer your own loops, use the library of included loop content or fire off one-shot samples such as the included scratch sounds. Record from any channel via the Loop Recorder and add dynamic layers to dramatically heighten your mix. 

 

Use the expanded effects section like an external effects unit and even sync up with gear such as MASCHINE to create powerful set ups for stage and studio.
