DJ Software

The Traktor DJ iPad App has been out for a few months now and veteran DJ Shiftee even produced a cool video showing all of the digital goodness that lies within Traktor DJ once you get the hang of the features. Native Instruments has just released a new youtube playlist consisting of five Tutorial Videos that show users how to get started with the Traktor DJ App. These Tutorials include: Collection Sync, Browsing, Preparation, Mixing, and Performing. Check out these tutorial videos after the jump.

DJ Software

The Traktor Kontrol Z2 2+2 Mixer/Controller was just released a couple of months ago and it's already looking like another success for NI. The popularity of our Full HD-Video review and the DIY Full-Innofader installation Video for the Z2 confirms that this product has the goods to become a major player in the DJ arena. The Decksaver team has just shipped the new polycarbonate covers for the Traktor Kontrol Z2 and Mixware.net was gracious enough to send one to the DJbooth Lab for a quick feature video after the jump.

DJ Software

A few short weeks ago after NAMM 2013, I was invited to NYC to meet with the Native Instruments team for a top-secret product reveal. This new product has now been released to the public today and DJ's everywhere are already clamoring for the download. The new Traktor DJ App for the iPad is here and for the small fee of only $20, anyone with a shiny iPad can venture into the Traktor realm of DJ control. Check out the full press release, demo video, and my full breakdown after the jump.

DJ Software

Yesterday, Native Instruments released a new Free Traktor DJ 1.5 update for the iOS DJ platform which adds a new SuperSlicer feature that's sure to get DJ's talking. The new SuperSlicer feature works just like Pioneer or Serato's slicer function in that the music gets divided into equal parts for manupulation, but the SuperSlicer also lets DJ's add deconstruct loops using Scratch, Brake, Reverse, Slice or even Pitch-Shift effects.

DJ Controllers

Native Instruments set the DJ World ablaze with the inclusion of the new Remix Decks and the F1 controller which works in Traktor 2.6. Now, Traktor Pro owners have yet another reason to rejoice. Native Instruments will work with leading artists and music-makers to provide new loops and sample packs to its users in order to keep your sets fresh and new. These sets will cost less than $5 a pop and the series kicks off with the new M.A.N.D.Y pack which is available now. Check out the press release, M.A.N.D.Y video, and other links inside.

Mixers

The New Rane MP2015 rotary digital mixer has excellent build quality, top-notch sound, and a cool way to mix music using knobs instead of faders. The Rane MP2015 has four channels and an additional channel that can be used to link other channels together for easier manipulation. The Internal dual-USB soundcard that is present on the MP2015 is capable of running Traktor DVS timecode and Serato Noisemap. Check out our full video review and the quick Traktor setup video after the jump.

Turntables

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.

Mixers

DJ Shiftee is back at it again but this time he's got even more Native Instruments goodness to show us all. This latest video shows DJ Shiftee ripping it up on the Traktor Kontrol Z2 along side his all gold Technics 1200's and the gold Maschine MK2. DJ Shiftee does it all from scratching, to juggling, to drumming and never skips a beat in the process. Check out this cool new performance video, then head out and get your own Z2 and/or Maschine in time for the holidays!
