DJs are a funny bunch, mostly preferring to use clunky old vinyl to work their magic. But technology rarely takes no for an answer and Traktor Scratch is no exception, offering traditional DJs who can't be separated from their Technics decks access to massive digital music libraries.
Put simply, Traktor Scratch is a simplified version of Traktor DJ Studio, which enables you to mix music without any special hardware. What the Scratch system adds is a very high-end sound card that enables multiple audio inputs, via which you can connect either vinyl or CD decks.
What's the point of that, you might ask? Well, you aren't just connecting playback devices to your computer, because Scratch comes with timecoded vinyl and CDs. To find out more, click here.

After a buddy lent me his machine and playing around with Traktor for about a week....I can honestly say, there's no way in heck that I'd ever go back. Traktor frees the DJ from the shackles of constantly keeping an eye on how long is this vinyl, is it 45 or 33, do I have enough time to get this track in, can I make a nice looooong mix?
Like a bit in Traktor and want to use that as your mix point? Click the loop +4 (or 8, 16 or 32) and go to town. Traktor allows you the creative freedom to finally stop worrying about time and simply make the best mix/music possible.
Thanks to development team at Native Instruments! Deep in to the vibe.....
