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.

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.

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

Pioneer has now released a brand new .TSI configuration file for the Pioneer DJM-T1 Traktor Certified Mixer that updates the mapping of the on-board MIDI controls so that they work seamlessly with the brand new features found in the Traktor Pro 2.6 DJ Software update. The new update file is available for free download on the Pioneer DJ website and is very easy to setup and install. With the new update DJ's can take advantage of the new Flux Mode, Post-Fader Effects and Macro-Effects features. Check out the Pioneer DJ Walkthrough Video and our HD Review Video after the jump.

DJ Controllers

NI has sent us two of their newest compact DJ controllers for Traktor called the Traktor Kontrol D2 for the full review treatment. The Traktor Kontrol D2 is essentially the "deck" section of the recently reviewed Traktor Kontrol S8 DJ controller and it sports the same hi-res screen and heavy remix/stem deck control with multicolored backlit pads and volume controls. The D2 and the S8 uses the remix deck controls to manipulate the new Stems file format. Watch our quick unboxing and first impressions video to see a fresh D2 out of the package.

DJ Controllers

The NI Traktor Remix Decks allow DJ's to perform like producers in real-time while beatmashing and remixing with different sounds, loops, hotcues, and effects using different controllers. The Remix Decks originally came with a few Remix sets to get users started, but NI has made sure to keep releasing Fresh and New Remix Sets for users to play with, all for a small fee. Famous controllerist Mad Zach puts the Traktor Z2, F1's, and Remix Decks to work in this performance video.
