We’ve known it was coming for a bit, but today the updated Traktor Pro 3.5 has been released. The fresh version of Traktor Pro boasts two new features that are likely to be well-received: the new streaming library features for Traktor (via Beatport and Beatsource LINK) and advanced HID integration with Pioneer DJ’s flagship CDJ-3000 players.
Better CDJ-3000 integration
More than one DJ (like, everyone) has been complaining about the half-cocked HID integrations you generally get with computer-based DJ software. Traktor has addressed this in the update, stating that users…
“...can also control most of TRAKTOR’s performance functions directly from the CDJs. New extra-large displays on the CDJ-3000s make TRAKTOR’s waveforms crisper and more immersive. Cover artwork on the central jog display and larger bowser fonts make navigating large libraries easier. The new integration makes DJing on external decks feel more like playing within the TRAKTOR software itself.”
Streaming libraries
Streaming libraries are finally available in Traktor Pro. Users of Beatport LINK and Beatsource LINK will be able to download and browse top releases and playlists inside of Traktor Pro 3. In the words of NI:
“...the new Beatport and Beatsource LINK access allows DJs to search the entire Beatport and Beatsource catalogues for their favourite artists, labels, or curated playlists. These search results can be sorted by release date or genre, allowing DJs to continuously explore new music.
This means that users are also able to access both Beatport and Beatsource LINK functions, including streaming playback of full-length tracks from either catalog within Traktor Pro 3.
The jogwheel keeps turning, with DJing becoming ever more connected, tactile and geared towards the fun. Get into the DJ Courses Online course catalog and level up your skills.
