After what seems like an eternity, the latest version of Traktor Pro is finally here!
Traktor Pro 4 is packed full of features previously only found in, the now discontinued, Traktor Pro Plus and adds even more creative tools to its already impressive arsenal.
We’ve rounded up four killer features below:
STEMS
Utilising the incredibly accurate separation algorithms from Izotope RX, Traktor Pro 4 now delivers STEMS! Along with incredible sound quality, the new approach from NI includes a four-stem waveform display to visually communicate what’s happening to your tracks. You can manipulate the precisely isolated stems to remix either single or multiple elements from the drums, bass, instrument and vocal tracks.
Flexible Beatgrids
Traktor Pro 4 now utilises flexible beatgrids. Depending on your sync settings, you’ll find it easy to mix with both minor fluctuations in tempo (such as when mixing disco) to bigger jumps when a track switches speed by bigger increments. Even with bigger tempo changes, there’s no noticeable degradation in audio quality, unlike we’ve seen in other DJ systems. In addition, the flexible beatgrids help with looping, beat-jumps and more.
Ozone Maximizer
A key feature for users of Traktor Pro Plus, the Ozone Maximizer uses Intelligent Release Control (lifted from the Ozone mastering chain) to boost the loudness of your set without clipping and distortion – all in real-time!
Pattern Player
Another feature previously only available when using the Pro Plus subscription service, the pattern player layers legendary drum machine sounds, and samples from leading producers with your tracks to boost energy levels. Pattern Player is packed with percussion kits including the signature drums of industry legends like Rebekah, Luke Slater, Len Faki, Chris Liebing, Dubfire, and many more.
Take Kontrol
All new hardware purchases include Traktor Pro 4 including the X1 MK3, Kontrol S4 MK3, Kontrol S2 MK3 and the Kontrol S3. If you already own Native Instruments Traktor DJ hardware, then Traktor Pro 4 is available as a download now!
