Go Duo
The included Traktor DUO software features two state-of-the-art playback decks, an intuitive graphic interface with a Crate Flick cover art browser. Advanced looping capabilities, with multiple loop and cue points plus up to three chainable tempo sync'd effects per channel let you get deep inside the tracks you spin. Traktor Scratch DUO combines unparalleled creative potential with ease of use and rock-solid dependability.

Fab 4
Traktor Scratch DUO comes with AUDIO 4 DJ, a superior USB bus-powered audio interface built specifically for DJing. This low-latency 24-bit/96 kHz interface uses high-end Cirrus Logic(R) AD/DA converters for pristine audio quality - just like its multi award-winning big brother AUDIO 8 DJ. Four switchable inputs and four hi-gain (9.7 dBu) outputs let you connect to an external mixer and turntables or CD decks in seconds.

Digital Tracks On Wax
Traktor Scratch DUO enables you to seamlessly fuse analog and digital DJing. The 2 kHz control signal of the included vinyl and CDs is twice the resolution of the competitors. This unmatched responsiveness means that everything from slow rubs to quick backspins and even motor-offs responds just like vinyl. Pressed with extreme care onto high-quality 120g discs, it feels like each digital file is cut into the wax.

Easy Setup
Traktor Scratch DUO is designed for easy set up and comes with a dedicated set of high-quality Multicore cables. Within seconds, you can hook up the AUDIO 4 DJ to your turntables / CD players and mixer and you're ready to rock. And with the included Traktor DUO software you can also spin without CD decks and turntables using the internal mixer- perfect for preparing a set or rocking an after party.

Scratch Library
Traktor Scratch DUO comes with a dedicated Scratch Library. The included exclusive audio material offers instant usability and unique features for all turntablists. Over 700 MB of sounds recorded in 24 bit / 96 kHz audio quality are itching to be Scratched and include many lead sounds for solo Scratching as well as sound FX, endless tones, tunes for juggling, loops and more.

"Best purchase I ever made! I am glad I did the research and chose Scratch Duo over Scratch Pro."
Feature:
Duo came with six sound effects unlike the pro that has over 20...I rarely use the six so I am glad I didnt pay the extra $250.00 for the extra fx.

Quality:
Very nice over all quality.....Serato who?

Value:
Yes, Duo is great for the price!

Desirability:
no sex appeal its just software...LOL

Sound:
Sounds really nice....no issues or complaints.....control vinyl works just like the music is printed on the vinyl

Ease of Use:
very easy to install....turntable and software install was up and running in less that 20 minutes.....once you realize how the installation works it takes less than 3 minutes to install wiring for gigs.

Support:
No need to contact support.....Note: ONCE YOU INSTALL THE SOFTWARE, GO TO THE NATIVE INSTRUMENTS WEBSITE AND DOWNLOAD EACH UPDATE/PATCH FOR TRACTOR SCRATCH DUO FROM FIRST TO LAST (UPDATE 1.1.2, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, and 1.2.4)....THIS WILL PREVENT FUTURE ISSUES LIKE POSSIBLE CRASHING.

Overall:
I was going to go with the Traktor Scratch Pro but after days of research I figured I only needed to buy the Scratch Duo since I only have two turntables and the Pro is for up to four decks (which i know will never use since i've only used two decks for the past 10+ years). Also, the Duo has only six sound effects while the pro has more than 20...but i've only used the sound effects once or twice, so I am glad I didnt pay for the extra fx that i know i wouldnt use that much. I dont have any plans on broadcasting live so thats another reason I figured I didnt need the pro and......Probly the only thing I wish the Duo had that the Pro has is the ability to record your set......but i figured an extra $250.00 wasnt worth it.......ive had the Duo for about a week and I am so glad I didnt pay the extra money for the Pro. If you only plan on using two turntables and no CD decks then I strongly recommend the Duo.....My opinion is that the Pro is better for CD decks like the Pioneer CDJ-2000s or if you plan on using both turntables and CD decks....But If all your using is turntables theres no need for the Pro.....The Duo is all I will ever need!!!
