Dynamic Duo
Utilizing the experience of nearly a decade of TRAKTOR software research and development, Traktor Duo is streamlined and focused to give DJs the essential features they need to spin digital. Boasting two state-of-the-art playback decks, a selection of professional-quality effects, an easy-to-use interface and premium sound quality, Traktor Duo puts the world's bestselling DJ software within the reach of DJs at any experience level or budget.

It Takes Two
At the heart of Traktor Duo are two playback decks packed with plenty of useful and creative features. An automatic beat grid and precise beat detection capabilities provide you with the correct BPM readings for mixing your tracks. The Sync Lock function makes sure that once tracks are beat-matched they will never drift out of time, and intelligent loop and cue functions even let you remix tracks on the fly.

Duo In Effect
Both playback decks in Traktor Duo integrate a 3-band EQ and classic filters giving you complete control of your tracks' sound. For even deeper sonic transformations, Traktor Duo comes with six high-quality effects: tempo-synched filter, delay, flanger and reverb, as well as the unique beatmasher and gater effects - built with Native Instruments' groundbreaking REAKTOR technology.

Precision Interface
Traktor Duo incorporates the same user interface as TRAKTOR PRO. The high contrast, scalable fonts and intelligent grouping of graphic elements ensure an unparalleled ease of use and super-fast workflow. The intuitive Crate Flick search lets you visually flip through your collection by cover art and makes finding that next track both fun and easy.

In Sync With The Music
Traktor Duo contains several highly useful tools to handle all your tempo-syncing tasks. In addition to ultra-precise BPM detection, the software automatically finds the beat grid of your tracks on import while the Sync Lock function makes sure that beat-matched tracks stay matched. Powerful loop and cue functions, including unlimited storable cue points and loops per track, hot cue buttons and easy navigation between loops and cues all make Traktor Duo a perfect tool for remixing tracks on the fly.

Warp Your Sound
Traktor Duo comes with six amazing tempo-sync'd effects including studio-quality reverb, delay, filter, flange, beatmasher and gator. Each deck features its own effects slot, each of which can chain up to three effects. Using Traktor Duo's convenient one knob control function, you can intuitively tweak any of the onboard effects - without stopping the musical flow.

Simple, Practical Interface
Designed with detailed input from professional touring DJs, Traktor Duo features a user interface that truly excels in its simplicity, functionality and practicality. The interface groups together functions for a logical and intuitive workflow and comes in a stylish design that remains highly readable from a distance. Different choosable layouts let you switch Traktor Duo's graphical user interface to fit your current performance situation.

Digging In The Crates
Crate Flick lets you browse your track collection using cover art, showing you the top portion of each track's cover as you flip through, just like digging in a record box. Traktor Duo helps you quickly find tracks visually and even works with file formats that would normally not support artwork (AIFF, WAV). Intelligent navigation and sorting functions including iTunes(TM) and iPod(TM) compatibility contribute to Traktor Duo's fast and fun workflow.

Keep Your Flow
Traktor Duo utilizes industry-standard workflows that will be familiar to DJs used to spinning with CD decks. Play, cue, hot cues, loop setting/adjusting, and jog wheel control behave in the same way as leading CD units, while portable track info and performance settings let you customize how Traktor Duo works for you.

Flexible Setup
Traktor Duo is highly flexible. You can use your mouse and keyboard or connect a MIDI controller to your computer to take advantage of Traktor Duo's pre-mapped yet customizable MIDI assignments for all major controller brands. You can also upgrade to TRAKTOR PRO to get four playback decks, over 20 advanced effects with extended parameter control, expanded loop and cue functions as well as the ability to record your mixes. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Native Instruments products.
