Native Instruments Announces TRAKTOR REMIXED
Comprehensive revision of TRAKTOR range introduces free updates, new price structure and special offers
Berlin, April 2nd, 2012 – Native Instruments today announced TRAKTOR REMIXED – a comprehensive revision of the TRAKTOR range to coincide with the imminent arrival of TRAKTOR PRO 2.5. Due for release on May 30th – the same day as the TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 add-on controller – TRAKTOR PRO 2.5 is the catalyst for many important changes in the TRAKTOR portfolio that aim to simplify the TRAKTOR product range for DJs.
Free updates for TRAKTOR PRO 2 and TRAKTOR DUO 2 users
All users of TRAKTOR PRO 2 and TRAKTOR DUO 2 will receive a free update to the latest PRO 2.5 software as soon as it is available. The updated software version introduces the innovative Remix DecksTM, which allow DJs to creatively remix and rearrange tracks before and during their actual performance. As of today, users of TRAKTOR DUO 2 and TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO 2 will receive a free upgrade to TRAKTOR PRO 2.
TRAKTOR PRO 2 software comes free with every TRAKTOR hardware
From today onwards, every TRAKTOR hardware item will automatically come with the latest full TRAKTOR PRO 2 version free of charge, which can then be comfortably updated to PRO 2.5 on its release. This applies to all TRAKTOR audio interfaces, controllers and scratch systems and is especially attractive to new customers. TRAKTOR PRO 2 previously retailed for $229/199 EUR and is now available with the TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 interface, for instance, for just $119/99 EUR.*
Special upgrade offer for old TRAKTOR versions
Users still running pre-PRO 2 versions of TRAKTOR software can upgrade to the latest version, thanks to a time-limited offer. Owners of software- only versions (TRAKTOR 1 to 3, TRAKTOR PRO and TRAKTOR DUO), as well as DJs using TRAKTOR SCRATCH, TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO or TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO, can update to the latest version for $44,50/39,50 EUR until April 30th 2012.
Changes to audio interfaces and scratch systems
The audio interfaces TRAKTOR AUDIO 10 and TRAKTOR AUDIO 6 are now exclusively available with their respective digital vinyl systems. TRAKTOR SCRATCH A10 (renamed from TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2), features the 10-channel interface, and is now available at the new price of $559/449 EUR. Similarly, TRAKTOR SCRATCH A6 (previously called TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO 2), contains the 6-channel TRAKTOR AUDIO 6 and can now be purchased for $339/229 EUR.**
New pricing for other products
This 'remix' of the TRAKTOR range also means permanent new price points for a number of products. The TRAKTOR PRO 2 software can now be purchased at the NI Online Shop for $89/79 EUR (previously $229/199 EUR), while TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 now costs $559/499 EUR.

So just to clarify a few things:
- • Traktor Pro 2.5 comes in at the cheaper price of $89/€79
- • Any Traktor branded hardware gets the full 4 deck version of Traktor Pro 2.5
- • You'll get a free upgrade if you own any version of Traktor Pro 2 or DUO 2
- • You can upgrade from just about any pre-Pro 2 version for $44.50/€39.50 before 30th April.
- • Audio 6 and Audio 10 are sold only with Traktor Scratch Pro.
And this is the newly rationalised Traktor product range:
Traktor Pro 2.5 – £65/$89/€79
Traktor Audio 2 – £84/$119/€99
Traktor Scratch A6 – £253/$339/€299
Traktor Scratch A10 – £423/$599/€499
Traktor Kontrol F1 – £211/$279/€249
Traktor Kontrol S2 – £423/$599/€499
Traktor Kontrol S4 £762/$999/€899
UPDATE 2: Euro prices for A6 and A10 corrected.
It's worth mentioning as ever, for those who actually read the whole story, that these prices are recommended retail prices. The actual street price is likely to be cheaper.
At last, the mess of different versions is sorted into a single unified product with different hardware differentiating it. At this price point, it makes little sense for NI to even bother with LE or 2 deck versions anymore. While I don't know this for a fact, I wouldn't be at all surprised if future non-NI controllers didn't come with the full Traktor Pro 2. And if they don't, they really should NI.
UPDATE: One small caveat here that I need to clarify – Traktor Pro and Traktor Scratch Pro are still different versions it seems. So that's two versions rather than one to rule them all.
Given the free upgrades, super cheap retro upgrade and price slashing, it would appear that NI are gagging for you to have the very latest version of Traktor installed. It makes sense really, given that NI are pinning a lot on the new remix deck method of working. And it makes development and importantly product support a whole lot easier too.
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I make the following suggestion – go one step further and lose the service centre. The whole online method of validation is just annoying and frankly unhelpful. Need to reinstall but not online? Exactly.
Traktor Pro 2 free. download full Version
Life just got a lot easier and cheaper for buyers. One version of software simplifies that decision, leaving hardware as the deciding factor. Happy? Inclined to make that purchase now? Let us know.
It's a brave company that relegates its premium product to the great DJ software scrapheap in the sky. But Traktor Pro 2 3 is quite the ageing bag of code spanners that has been relentlessly added to, to a point where it's hanging together like a game of Jenga in a wind tunnel. So all hail Traktor DJ 2, the co-developed replacement for TP3 that you can now get a first taste of, and it comes with Soundcloud access too. But don't worry — it's free, and TP3 is still being developed… for now.
May 28, 2019, Berlin – Native Instruments today releases TRAKTOR DJ 2, a new, free DJ app for desktop and iPad. The app is designed to break the barriers to DJing – with greater accessibility, an easy-to-use interface, SoundCloud Go+ integration, and simple plug-and-play integration with TRAKTOR hardware.
TRAKTOR DJ 2 is released as a free app, meaning more people than ever can now get into DJing with pro-quality software.
SoundCloud is the world's largest open audio platform, with over 200 million tracks by more than 20 million creators across the world. SoundCloud Go+ integration lets users mix tracks streamed directly from the music platform, enabling access to an ever-growing track collection, and tapping into the cutting-edge of mainstream and underground music.
The release of TRAKTOR DJ 2 coincides with the launch of a series of artist-curated playlists exclusive to Native Instruments' SoundCloud profile. Users can add these to their collections and DJ with them in-app to practice their mixing skills, discover new genres, and to learn new techniques.
The playlists reproduce real setlists by top-tier artists across a spectrum of genres, with diverse approaches to both programming and mixing. Current contributors include: Objekt, Forest Swords, DJ SAMA' سماء, Tommy Four Seven, Kornél Kovács, Felix Da Housecat, Lyzza, DJ Rachael, and Gafacci.
Traktor Pro 2 Latest Version
TRAKTOR KONTROL S2, combined with the iPad app, allows users to play without mains power, with the same physical control provided by a full DJ booth in a take-anywhere setup. The app also fully integrates with the TRAKTOR AUDIO 2 and KONTROL Z1.
During the first month after launch, users can suggest changes and request features via an open forum on the NI website. This feedback will be used by the TRAKTOR team to steer future updates, and to create an app built in collaboration with its users.

Pricing and availability
TRAKTOR DJ 2 is now available for free via the App Store (iPad version), and the Native Instruments website.
The highlights
Traktor DJ 2 is free, for now at least, and available for iOS (and by iOS that means iPad right now), Mac, and Windows. It also comes with Soundcloud integration, one of many to get this baked into the software. I haven't mentioned Android, because it isn't available for Android. So don't go asking about Android, because I'll have to give the same 'Android is crap for audio' speech every time an iOS only audio app comes out.
Why free? Well when you download it (and you should), you'll soon see how barebones it is. This really is a back to basics build it from the ground up approach. Capitalising on this means that NI can give away basic but good quality DJ software that does just enough to the masses, and get them invested in the NI ecosystem. The iOS version works with the S2 MK3 making that a cheap but decent entry into DJ land.
Slowly but surely features will be added, and in time it'll become a paid version that replaces Traktor Pro 3. But it's absolutely nowhere that yet, and I can't see it hitting that kind of level for maybe 12-18 months, maybe even 2 years. Unless of course the betas simply portray a stable version with the currently wonky high level features currently in alpha only.
But I like what I see. The smooth waveforms and retina rendering brings a sharp freshness to Traktor, and it's one that looks right against the S2 and S4 hardware, something that the software is clearly trying to emulate. But here's something I don't get. The iOS version has symmetrical pitch faders, but the desktop doesn't. The world has spoken — asymmetrical pitch faders are where it's at, and Traktor DJ 2 should offer a consistent interface, or at least make it an option.
Anyway, we're interested to hear your thoughts on the look and feel of this spanking new rendition of the Traktor timeline.
