The UDG team has announced a new case for the Traktor S8. This is a very functional carry case that look sturdy enough for people looking to bring their S8 on the road. It will fit the controller quite snug with adequate padding and it includes a handle for easy transport. The S8 is not the lightest of controllers with its robust build so we will see how easy it will be to carry with this case. We'll get these in the lab for a proper review, but in the meantime you can check out the full press release and information on this new and affordable case straight from UDG.

The Traktor Kontrol S8 was leaked by Amazon and various other sources earlier this month and even though we already knew what this was, we decided to keep quiet until NI themselves let the cat out of the bag. They did so yesterday with a new Teaser Video showing various parts of the new Traktor Kontrol S8 and the shiny new screens that DJ's can use for playback rather than looking at the computer screen.

The new Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S8 Flagship DJ controller has finally arrived at my doorstep for the full out review treatment.

Check out the unboxing & first impressions video to see the S8 in all its glory.

It can easily store all the Traktor controllers such as the S2, S4, F1, and X1 along with a 17-inch laptop all at once.

A few short weeks ago, information surfaced from a popular DJ equipment sales site regarding a brand new Traktor X1 controller that was set to be released by NI the end of this summer.

The new Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S8 DJ controller has now officially been announced and all the details have been released by the NI team.

The Traktor Kontrol S2 Digital DJ controller is now near the end of it's product run as Native Instruments slashes the price before making space in their warehouses for the "future". Following the final pricedrop of the Traktor S4, the S2 is now also on sale for only $399. We reviewed the Traktor Kontrol S2 about two years ago and its still a VERY formidable controller for any DJ who needs a great compact controller for Traktor Pro.

We recently reviewed the new Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S8 which is a very powerful DJ controller for Traktor while also working as a DVS enabled mixer for external turntables and CDJ style control. The legendary DJ Shiftee has just completed a pretty sick turntable timecode DVS performance along with using some of the new cool features on the Traktor Kontrol S8 such as Freeze Mode. Check out this dope performance video to see what's possible with the new S8.

The new Traktor Kontrol Aluminum stand that brings the Traktor Kontrol F1 and X1 up to industry-standard Mixer/Deck Height is now available for sale anywhere Traktor Products are sold.

The cover also keeps the hardware safe during transport. The new stand is available for $59 and can be obtained directly through NI via the links and press release inside.
