What’s new?

1. Stem separation

Stem separation is finally here to transform the way you mix and remix. This long-awaited feature is powered by iZotope’s legendary RX technology. You’ll be able to individually isolate and manipulate drums, bass, instruments, and vocals. With each stem waveform right in front of you, you can apply filters and effects with high accuracy.

2. Flexible beatgrids

Traktor Pro 4’s flexible beatgrids precisely follow each tempo change throughout a track. Traktor’s new approach means highly accurate looping, beat jumps, beat effect layering, and beat alignment. Unlike other DJ systems, there’s no impact on the audio quality when using Sync. Flexible beatgrids are ideal for moving between genres or mixing tracks with a changing tempo. It’s a game-changer if you’re getting creative with your mix or playing jazz, disco, hip-hop, and more.

3. Collaboration with leading producers

Previously only available to Traktor Pro Plus subscribers, Pattern Player is a collaboration between Traktor and industry legends, including Rebekah, Luke Slater, Len Faki, Chris Liebing, Dubfire, and others. Bring the sounds of iconic drum machines and producers to your sets with percussion kits and signature drums, ready to layer over tracks and combine with effects.

4. iZotope mastering technology

Increase the loudness of your sets without distortion thanks to Ozone Maximizer with technology from iZotope’s award-winning Ozone mastering software. Its Intelligent Release Control lets you take your sets to new heights while protecting the mix from clipping and distortion.

Developed with the community

From the start, Traktor Pro 4 was designed with Traktor DJs in mind. As part of this process we launched the ideas section on the Native Instruments community. Over two years, hundreds of ideas were submitted attracting thousands of votes and comments. Several of the most requested features are now part of Traktor Pro 4, including Flexible Beatgrids and Stem Separation.
