Traktor Duo & Traktor Scratch Duo

noreply@blogger.com (Westend DJ) — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 15:51:00 +0000

Native Instruments, 2 is enough....

NI, have intruduced cut down versions of their award winning Traktor Pro and Traktor Scratch Pro packages.

Traktor Duo is the stand alone software, Traktor Scratch Duo is the same software with Time Code enabled and bundled with the Audio4 soundcard and timecoded vinyl.

The reductions are only 2 decks instead of 4 on the pro, less effects and no record facility.

All the differences can be found on the comparison charts on the individual product.

Price rise due - Buy now !

noreply@blogger.com (Westend DJ) — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:32:00 +0000

With the exchange rates from the UK to other countries showing no sign of getting back to where we want them, we've got more price rises on the way. We've secured some stock at original prices on some products like:

Hercules DJ console RMX - Now £244 will be £299!

Technics SL1210/1200 mk2 - Now £375 will be £415!

Stanton SCS3D - Now £189 will be £209!

Stanton SCS1D - Now £625 will be £869!

Stanton SCS1M - Now £530 will be £659!

Obviously, if the exchange rates revert in our favor, these prices will drop back down again.....

Beat the price rise! CDJ1000mk3

noreply@blogger.com (Westend DJ) — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 17:42:00 +0000

Traktor goes PRO

noreply@blogger.com (Westend DJ) — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 22:18:00 +0000

Native Instruments are without a doubt the "industry standard" benchmark for DJ software.

To prove this, they've changed their DJ software name to Traktor PRO and thrown in some great new features.
Traktor Pro now has a much nicer user interface, improved features like syncing, MIDI and key control as well as 20 pro effects and filters.

Traktor Scratch will also get the new software (traktor scratch PRO) and anyone who buys Traktor Scratch now, will get a free upgrade to Traktor Scratch Pro when it is released at the beginning of November.
