Feature:
Missing quite a few of the features of traktor 3- like the native mix recorder. Lots of things don't quite work yet. The software has huge potential, but is not yet ready for serious use.
Quality:
Shaky, beta-quality at best, right now (1.02). The Audio 8 DJ is pretty solid, though,
Value:
It's probably in the right ballpark, if only it all worked, it would be great.
Desirability:
Yeah, traktor has a great history, it sounds cool on paper.
Sound:
Pro is still buggy, the key correct produces much worse artifacting than traktor 3, even. It has issues with the tempo detection being broken, and several other features not working as well as they used to in 3. NI have recently released a patch to correct the most obvious bugs (the DRM kicking in on legit copies and locking the user out mid-set most notably), but there are still many many outstanding issues with it until it's suitable for live work. Stick with 3 for now.
Ease of Use:
Designed to be friendly and powerful, the software is interesting but buggy, the manual is patchy and wrong in places. The software will be easier to use when it works closer to "properly", mind you.
Support:
Slow, unresponsive support. They ignore a lot of queries, getting any response took five attempts to contact them.
Overall:
A lot of folks will be using Traktor 3 or Serato Scratch rather than pro right now, as they actually work.
