Native Instruments has been a great company in its products for both Djs and Producers. Traktor has always been one of its main power-tools, having Traktor 1, 2 ,3 and now the Pro version.  This new version is majorly an update to Traktor 3, after the updates.

This improved DJ software offers a new interface, which was made in such a way to be easily readable and simple, but yet it maintains all and many features on the screen. Any possible function such as the beat-synchronization (SYNC), extremely accurate beat-grids, great work-around on the 4 decks you can mix with and of course, one of the best beat-recognization and calculations any DJ software has to offer.

One of the best parts of this Pro version is the many effects it offers. It had the best ones before, but who doesn’t like more, and on top of that, three effects can be mixed together, with no loss of quality in sound. Browsing Traktor Pro is such an easy thing to do. Getting your songs can be done very fast, album art (if available) is present beside each track and also Beatport songs can be synchronized directly to Traktor.

On the negative side, by checking the NI Forums, I have seen many people having problems either installing it, small glitches, crashes and all system-compatible problems. Updates of Pro to fix these are promised and if you are one of the people who experience this, don’t back down from it.

Compatible with many mixers out there, Traktor Pro should definetely be one of the first on your list.
