All user reviews for the Native Instruments Traktor Pro 2

For different machines, it is a core duo 2007 sour seven 32 bit machines more recent (core I7).

I used with one basic controller (hercules rmx) but most often connected to my external mixer. VMC 002

GETTING STARTED

The installation is very simple.

However, to fully know all of subitilités traktor, it takes time.

However, this is precisely the point of this software loaded options and customizable.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Most often used with audio DJ2, I also tested with my sound card hercules rmx and MAYA 44 SE. IN any asio sound card works perfectly.

Performance is good even on older machines and do not need to talk about in a generation Core i3/i5/i7 mobile.

This software is heavy, but it still runs well on older machines. It is advisable to scan all these mp3 on very old machines before mixing, ca allow to prevent the CPU is exceeded in case of intense activity

OVERALL OPINION

So I since version 2.1 and I bought 2.5 and now I'm still in 2.6

I especially mixes classic way, I do not like playing around with effects, sampler etc..

Despite a mix classic style, this software is almost perfect.

This is the only software that integrates several types of EQ connnus brands like Pioneer, Ecler, Allen and Health ...

I especially chosen for its very wide going great with my vestax, the two people together really well.

This is a software that can be used in several scenarios (internal = external controller = noon and mixer)

For 75 euros it is almost free.

I tested Mixvibes, Cross, Mixxx, Virtual DJ 7, and just for the Traktor worth the detour.

Although I adore this app, always prefer the mix on a mixer for analog sound.

For me a controller midi + + external soundcard mixer is the best config possible. Provided that the three elements are good

Native Instruments Traktor pro 2 is a bundle that I knew that I needed to get because I have several of Native Instruments products and software’s. All of the products that they produce are very easy to use and have a great quality about them. The Traktor Pro 2 is a complete system that will take care of all of your DJ needs. The Traktor Pro 2 will get you mixing great songs and putting together great mixes for clubs your friends and family right away, basically as soon as you get it out of the box.


GETTING STARTED

I did need to manual though just because this system was a lot different then some of the other bundles that I have gotten from Native instruments. It required a little reading on my part but there where no issues after I figured a few things out. I had no compatibility problems when installing it on my dual core pc running windows vista with service pack 2.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Some of the cool things about this is that you can synce it right up to your ipod! So you can get right the some of you r favorite and popular songs right away. I am also pretty sure it can sync right up with iTunes to purchase songs or download free promo songs. I havent used the Itunes features yet. The built in mixer has multiple eq filter types and it will give you total control over your whole project and mixing.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall, great software, before I purchased it I was thinking “Is this really going to work?, Being that I love hardware so much? “ But after using it, I had no issues with this software hardware integration. I highly recommen this to anyone who wants to be a DJ! I am really happy with my purchase and would do It again knowing what I know now I will make sure other people purchase this too!

- I bought the whole Traktor Pro 2 / Kontrol S2 in November 2011.
I chose Traktor for its reputation, reliability and the many posts of explanation that can be found on the net.

- I use Traktor Pro Kontrol 2 with a S2 with a home cinema amp and a Yamaha speaker system 2.1 (Wharfedale / Audience)

- I use this setup mainly for the "home djing" and a few evenings with friends.

GETTING STARTED

- Installation and configuration is intuitive and easy. Many tutorials exist everywhere in-depth to set their system.
Es a damper on updates that are tedious and can cause problems such as retrieving the settings. (Analysis of securities, cue ...)

- The paper manual is enough to start basic. Reading the 300 page PDF are essential to master perfectly Traktor.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

- The unit is powered by an Acer 2009 (AMD M300 dual core / 4 GB / 640 GB / Win 7 64). Despite the relative "age" of Traktor pc runs like a clock after all optimized.

- Analysis of a library of several thousand titles takes a long time anyway.

- I've never had a crash with this configuration.

OVERALL OPINION

3 months at a rate of 3-4 hours per week.

Before I had a U-control pro mix in MixVibes.

+ The effects are very successful and efficient.

- The ability to arrange the items in the window according to its use. There should be a system of elements "floating"

The value for money is good for first purchase. The updates should be cheaper cons. Thirty euros would be perfect.
I will remain faithful to traktor currently.

- What characteristics have motivated your choice?
I went to live in the mix and I wanted something very practical, I am directed to a dedicated controller software. After comparing the dedicated controllers I chose the S2 with Traktor Pro Kontrol 2.

- For what purpose?
Free party

- Which instruments or systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ...
The Kontrol S2 is directly connected to a console Phonic AM 442D in Jack / XLR.

Go for !!!

next mix it tears, it tears and creating side effects listed it tears too ... Finally, look no further traktor c is that it is vs!

I turn my pc level with an i5 4GB RAM on Windows 7 and turns no one nickel latency ..

I use the kontrols2 home with native instruments (c is for her than I would have not paid, it comes with the s2) c is simply royal! ^ ^ '

GETTING STARTED

its installation is very simple itself .... 15 minutes max

config with the s2 is made directly ... and nothing to retouch

no worries for the moment, everything works with the same two pro traktor hercules mp3 e2 n which is not expected to walk on traktor worked great!

the manual is very comprehensive, there are even courses within al speed mixing can help her begin a full and c is rather well explained with pictures and everything ...

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

motherboard but I know suporte chipset intel core i5 4GB RAM and 1TB of memory, when your sound card inside of it are al s2 then c is the sound of Native Instruments 8 if I remember correctly.

my pc is powerful

The program is very stable as the PC ... while traveling!

OVERALL OPINION

the 6 months that I'm using traktor virtual dj j've tried that n is not in the same scale dutout ... Finally, to my taste, but vs vs quickly realize that I am not the only thought his! ^ ^ '

qualitée compared prices with a s2 or s4 c is the top one purchased on the other hand ... c is super expensive but I think the program is Excellent!

I ressigne ofSuite yes ^ ^ '

Ergonomics Sympa tro not large nor too small (cool colors), Traktor Scratch software available (al time) and for me who has two platinum vynnil + Djm 600 c is good.
Traktor is really nice (indeed, playlist management, samples etc ...)
I jl Surtour uses at home in home studio in May it n is not very resource-intensive (Intel i5 4GB of ram more than enough).

8.5/10

GETTING STARTED

Installation very very easy (j mixvibes had before), you install the software industry and c is a party.
So far not had to recalibrate the jogger
Pdf manual super super detailed (only minus the operation of any effects because some are hard to manage)
but hey they can not do everything, you still things to discover!

A cool stuff on the record your mix directly not need another sound card and the same for your samples (they are automatically registered!)

9 / 10

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

RAS

9 / 10

OVERALL OPINION

3 months of use, completely satisfied (only minus the Crossface, which is a bit steep even if he is correct)
In my opinion the best compromise quality / price! Jai essyé the Pioneer and Denon and for me the denon is better for beatjugglin, the pioneer for mobile DJs (the strongest of the three quality requires Pioneer)
but the traktor S4 (with the crossfader innobender exceeds 2 without problem but must add 140 euros and goodbye warranty!
In short I am completely satisfied with this choice and do it again without hesitation!

8 / 10 (because of the crossfader)

A force of galleys to walk around with suitcases see 5 4 CDs each evening, his selections have to burn, I started a few years ago with DJing software.
Starting with VDJ, after testing and again Itch Mixvibes DVS and Cross, I finally spent Traktor Scratch 2 duo and more recently pro 2.

For me, Traktor 2 is by far the best. Effects or chained with 3 simple correction factors, spectrum setting that allows you to easily recognize the type of sound (also on Itch), excellent interface, modes Hots 8 Cues, samples decks, make the loop recorder an outstanding software and infinite possibilities.

Currently, I use a Toshiba L650 Intel Pro I3 + 3GB of DDR3 RAM, a DJ interface reloop edition 2 (pending S4) and a traktor X1.

I used to make electro sets.

GETTING STARTED

Simple implementation, it is part of the service center and go.
Updates notified by email.

It does not take long for basic functions, after it's work.
Do not hesitate to consult the record of very good quality, the forums: you can learn a lot and the video tutorial (Ean Golden ...)

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

No problem with my setup which is also an XP SP3 dedicated solely to TP2 and optimized (stop unnecessary services, remove unnecessary programs).
Just a little bug uncommon when I change an effect in the selector.
Known issue resolved soon and from what I read on the forum.

OVERALL OPINION

Including 2 duo scratch it's five months I toured with.

Excellent value for money as it was offered to me with my X1.

Congratulations on the seriousness of this software. The test is keeping it.

What characteristics have motivated your choice?

- A numerical solution to avoid burned CDs as well as a gain on the transport.

What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?

- MacBook 3.3GHz 4GB RAM


With which instruments or systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) do you use the connection and how?

For now I have a hercules mp3 e2-_-after problems! Traktor Kontrol S4 at the end of the year.

GETTING STARTED

The installation is done it without problems?

Perfect And you put the CD Hopppp

The general configuration is easy?

Not if you're Anglophobe!

Have you experienced any incompatibilities?

Some concerns zapping with generic controllers but it comes out looking the config file on the net

The manual is clear and sufficient?

Not for anglophobes ^ ^

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The software works he correctly on this configuration?

Perfect on Macbook.

OVERALL OPINION

What is so special that you like most and least?

The number of near-infinite possibility with this app

Spectrum as a mixer serato would be welcome!!

1 - because it is a 4-way controller, the function Semple, jobs for the most accurate scratch.

2 - MacBook Pro, KueIt (software to send Semple on the fly), PM 0.5 MK2 speakers FOSTER connected to the ass of S4.

3-Bein for the mix!!

OVERALL OPINION

1 - more than a year
2-no no
3 - all nickel
4 to 1 bit expensive, yes, but when you love s'faire have fun, life is only once on earth.
5 - yes and switch to version + purchase scratch turntables which normally soon.

I started with the LE version and the Pro, the logical evolution made me do the update.
Because I like Native Instruments, their apps are powerful.
I use it with a small controller (Vestax Typhoon).
I was a DJ with turntables, sold long ago. At one point I wanted to get back, mainly for fun but since I mix with Traktor, I totally want to go back for good.

All features are software pro there.

GETTING STARTED

Easy installation if you are connected to the net, otherwise it's just a mess but it works. Regardless it's really pain in the ass this obligation to be connected ... The general configuration is quite simple, manual configuration of a controller requires some thought but nothing insurmountable. No conflict at this time, the complete manual.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I use a Macbook Pro, it turns nikel.
The sound card built into my controller satisfies me.
It's very stable.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few months.
I used the LE version (somewhat limited) Virtual DJ (about 4 minutes before every turn) and another thing not good either.
What I like most is the interface to everything, simple, who do not have tons.
What I like least is the part sampler, oversimplified, is missing a few settings ...
The price / quality ratio is a little tricky on software, but can be trusted to NI stuff running ...
I do it again this election, I even really feels to plunge with S4 ...

What characteristics have motivated your choice?

4 decks, sample decks, and the ability to be in full afternoon with this software.

With which instruments or systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) do you use the connection and how? ...

Audio 10, xone 92, Kontrol X1, lpd 8, Korg Electribe emx 1 SD

For what purpose?

Make a tennis Pardi, nan dj'ing

What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?

Mb pro

GETTING STARTED

The installation is done it without problems?

No problems

The general configuration is easy?

Yes very easy.

Have you experienced any incompatibilities?

With version PRO 1 disaster that crashes with version 2 no problems, except one problem usb powered sector, which made me set the software, I used a better quality and no problems since. I'm not afraid to make public performance.

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

Very well done, everything is discussed between the mapping and in all functions of mapping, the descriptions of each function in detail ... Unless the MIDI clock is sketchy .... If the novice user takes the trouble to read it will have all the solutions in the interior, a real bible, compared to competitors that provide only basic textbooks.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

What is the configuration of your computer?

Macbook Pro

The software works he correctly on this configuration?

Well no complaints, minimum latency, RAS no problem.

This software + hardware is stable?

If you do not speak of the mixer that it does not work so everything is stable when sound card is not capricious.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?

1 month

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Serato, Torq, mixvibes.

What is so special that you like best?

The four decks, the decks sample, the possibilities of mapping the Possibility to be in full noon, the zoom on the waves forms to work its beatgrids More precisely, the loop recorder, the colors of waves forms that reminds me serato, the MIDI Clock ...

What is so special that you like the least?

MIDI clock that must be addressed every time a sound that sends a MIDI device, rather unpleasant. The playlist system.

How would you rate the quality / price?

Ben I bought the upgrade box on the site of native for 69 euros, otherwise it is 199 euros and I think it's expensive.

With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Yes, serato user for 5 / 6 years, I found myself too limited and therefore need to evolve as the number of decks must cough up, and also little possibility of noon so my choice was radical and now finally Serato Traktor .
Despite the big crash that I have known the version 1, version 2 really reassures me, and I am increasingly satisfied with the software ... So my choice I would do without hesitation.

Great work by NI ... missing an official version of ableton passage and it will be perfect ...
