THE NEW PRO
TRAKTOR is the pro platform that top DJs trust, and TRAKTOR PRO 2.5 is the most advanced version of TRAKTOR ever. Perform your mix on up to four decks, featuring TruWave colored waveforms, powerful looping and cueing functionality and an exceptional effects suite, and create mixtapes with a single click. TRAKTOR PRO 2.5 is Ready to Remix. Get started in seconds, fire up the Remix Decks and seamlessly merge the worlds of DJing and live performance.
REMIX HAS LANDED
TRAKTOR PRO 2.5’s groundbreaking new Remix Decks allow for spectacular live remixing and re-arranging of tracks. Start jamming with the powerful loop suite and included TRAKTOR loop content. Each of the 64 slots can hold a loop or one-shot sample – load sounds from your hard drive or by capturing loops live from your DJ set. Save them as Remix Sets and build up your own loop library - the potential for rocking completely unique live performances is endless.
GET IN THE MIX
Crate Flick cover art browsing and full iTunes® and iPod® integration makes finding the right track effortless. TRAKTOR’s acclaimed sync concept and beat grid feature ensures that your tunes beat-match perfectly. Load any track and TRAKTOR will analyze and ‘beat-grid’ it automatically - no matter what the genre is - leaving you to focus on the more exciting performance aspects of DJing. TRAKTOR PRO 2.5’s built-in mixer integrates multiple EQ and filter types, giving you full control of the frequency spectrum.
TOTAL FLEXIBILITY
Whatever your personal style or needs, there is the ultimate TRAKTOR set up for you. Both TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 and TRAKTOR KONTROL S4 provide an all-in-one, professional package for DJs of all levels and genres, with no extra DJ gear required. Use TRAKTOR with an external hardware mixer, and the TRAKTOR KONTROL X1 can handle transport functions plus looping, hot cues and effects. For the ultimate creative boost, TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 provides intuitive control over TRAKTOR's Remix Decks.
Beatmakers and producers can even expand TRAKTOR with the groove production studio MASCHINE. Tempo sync is automatic, and TRAKTOR's Auto Detection makes connecting and disconnecting NI hardware easy – even while your tracks playing.
FREE REMIX SETS
Registered users of TRAKTOR PRO 2 can access a wealth of top quality loops and one-shots for use with the Remix Decks. Renowned artists have provided inspiring material in a number of genres, including Remix Sets prepared by Pan-Pot, Stewart Walker, and Marc Houle, among others.
In all 1.4 GB of content is available – and all for free! As soon as you’ve registered the 2.5 software, you can download the Remix Sets.
Features
:
INNOVATIVE REMIX DECKS
- Remix Decks are the latest TRAKTOR innovation, letting you select from up to 64 loops and one-shot samples per deck. Any of the four decks in TRAKTOR PRO 2.5 can be switched to be a Remix Deck
- Each Remix Deck offers four different Slots (columns), ideal for arranging sounds and loops by instrument groups e.g. different drum, bass, percussion loops. Play one sound per column - a total of four samples at any one time
- Use loops from the included sound content or import any loops and sounds of your own
- Develop your own unique trademark sound and build a personal arsenal of sounds by live-capturing your favorite loops while DJing
A NEW WAY TO PERFORM
- The stylish multi-color pads and ergonomic faders make TRAKTOR KONTROL F1 the ultimate controller for a Remix Deck. Any sound or loop can be assigned a specific RGB color, either in the software or via the controller
- A Remix Set™ is the combination of 64 loops and one-shot samples and their respective beat grids and BPMs - stored and loaded just like a regular track in the browser
- Control the entire Remix Deck via Native Scratch timecode control with vinyl or CDs - or scratch using the TRAKTOR KONTROL S4/S2 jog wheels. Each Remix Deck has its own transport, sync, and tempo master controls
DEEP CONTROL
- To add more flavor, you can choose which slots are fed through TRAKTOR’s FX units, or even play samples in reverse
- The Punch mode allows for instant switching between different loops in one instrument group, in perfect phase - switch from one drum loop to the next exactly on the 2 and 4 snares
- Additionally, the Remix Deck quantize can be set to different values for full control of the musical phrasing

- Much improved BPM detection on tracks with variable tempo, (such as “live” drummer genres) - now detects average BPM
- Rewritten Tempo-Tap – instant and simple realignment anytime your tracks drifts away from the grid over time
- Manually adjusted grids, (and all BPM-locked tracks) keep their position and tempo from previous versions
NEW BROWSER FEATURES
- All contents and settings of a Remix Deck can be saved and reloaded as “Remix Sets”, managed in the Browser as a single entry
- Sounds and loops are contained in the Remix Sets’ .trak format for super-convenient file handling across computers
- The state of browser tree is recalled from previous session when starting TRAKTOR
- Importing another collection now preserves favorites
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
- Now features Jogweel and Joglight advanced HID integration for Pioneer CDJ-2000, CDJ-900 and CDJ-400
