Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Pro Digital Vinyl System

Traktor Scratch Pro Digital Vinyl System description:

Native Instruments TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO is the premium system for DJs spinning digital tracks on vinyl and CD, and the new gold-standard in professional digital vinyl systems.

Native Instruments TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO contains a host of amazing features including four decks, an arsenal of new effects and a completely redesigned interface.

TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO also includes a comprehensive library of ready to scratch sounds. Over 700 MB of sounds recorded in pristine 24 bit / 96 kHz audio quality are itching to be scratched and include many lead sounds for solo scratching as well as sound FX, endless tones, tunes for juggling, loops and more. The library is primed for performance situations thanks to the TRAKTOR-specific meta-tagging and Crate Flick functions, so finding just the right sound to scratch is fast and easy even in the heat of battle.

Native Instruments TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO system comes with the AUDIO 8 DJ - the ultimate audio interface for DJs. AUDIO 8 DJ features maximum connectivity to easily integrate practically any equipment into your DJ setup. Highest resolution control vinyl and CDs plus ultra-efficient Multicore cables complete the hardware.

With the included control media, TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO closes the gap between digital and analog DJing. The control signal is formatted onto special CDs and vinyl, and has an unmatched response - it feels like the digital file is cut into the wax. A 2 kHz carrier frequency offers twice as much tracking information as competing digital DJ systems with vinyl control. Very slow speeds can be tracked with unmatched smoothness, while decoding is much more reliable due to the greater signal headroom available.

No longer will you lose precious time sorting and hooking up cables. The newly developed, patent pending "One click per deck" Multicore Cables ensure quick and easy connection between mixer, decks and AUDIO 8 DJ interface.
