Native Instruments Traktor Scratch A6

The Native Instruments Traktor Scratch A6 is a digital DJ system that comes with Trakto pro 2.5 DJ software, there are 6 inputs and 6 outputs on the interface that connected to my computer via USB. It comes with 2 Traktor Scratch MK2 time code vinyl LPs and 2 Traktor Scratch MK2 Control CD’s. I love the interface that came with this system because it has the perfect amount of inputs and outputs for my whole set up. I used the Traktor Scratch A6 at a display set up about a week ago and loved how easy it was to work with. This bundle is perfect for the mobile DJ or even the at home hobby DJ.


GETTING STARTED

Using this system does take more of setting up than a normal system because it has to be installed into your computer and everything has to be synced up. If your computer is not that fast than I would not recommend getting this digital DJ system. My laptop was running Windows 7 with the newest service pack and I have also used this system on a Mac funning 10.7 OSX but both systems have 4 GB of RAM.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The price of this system is very good, it only cost about 300 dollars and it is well worth that amount of money. The onboard effects are great and everything can be performed and recorded at up to 24 bit resolutions and can be used on just about any operating system as long as you have enough RAM. I have used many Native Instruments products in the past and they make some of the best hardware and software pieces of gear that I have ever used.

OVERALL OPINION

I highly recommend any mobile DJ to purchase this controller and package because it has everything that a DJ could ever want and need. I have also used the Traktor Kontrol F1 and the Kontrol S2.

use mix and scratch vinyl records on turntables, timecode running on an old dual-core with 3GB of ram and 320 dd.
