Native Instruments introduced some great new features to their flagship DJ software Traktor Pro 3 when it was released last year and now with the release of version 3.1, they introduce some great new additions that will certainly delight all avid users of this industry-standard software.

I just updated from Traktor Pro 2 to Traktor Pro 3, and I want to tell you if I think it was actually worth it, and why!Follow me on Facebook - www.facebook. TRAKTOR PRO 3.4.1 is a maintenance update, ensuring macOS 11 Big Sur and Apple M1 compatibility (with Rosetta 2), and fixing several bugs in the browser domain. Native Instruments has released Traktor Pro 3, a free update to their DJ software that emphasizes “harmonic mixing” and key matching through its many new features including updated time-stretching alogithms, a new Key Widget, and much more. When getting setup to play live in Traktor, there are three very important sections of the preferences to check: The Audio Setup window, Output Routing, and Input Routing. Most audio problems and troubleshooting is usually done here. Traktor Pro Video Preferences Guide Pt 1/4: Audio Setup + Timecode Configuration. Here’s the important thing to remember: Traktor Pro 3 is a paid upgrade. For current Traktor Pro 2 users, it is a $49 upgrade. For new buyers, it’s $99. If you get a Kontrol S4 MK3 or Kontrol S2 MK2, the software is included.

When the Kontrol S4mk3 was released we were promised the standalone mixer support by NI last year and Traktor 3.1 see this become a reality. The S4MK3 can now play external media players (CDJ Turntables) through its phono and line inputs and use the S4’s mixer without having a laptop connected. This is great news for anyone who wishes to incorporate turntables or CDJ’s into their setup or for DJ’s using DVS.

Another feature brought forward and one that Traktor users have been requesting for a very long time is parallel waveforms. This brings Traktor up to speed with other DJ software like Serato, Rekordbox and Virtual DJ that has become a standard in the digital DJ world. This is a very handy feature indeed and will help provide a more precise visual guide to beat-matching. Although this is only available the in horizontal view, it would have been nice to be able to toggle between horizontal and vertical view.

Other helpful features include “Single Deck view” where Traktor will focus on one single deck useful for track preparation, “over-mapping” for the S8 and D2 controllers, and “tag writing mode” for non-destructive file handling.
