The Essentials of Traktor Play DJ Software

- Two virtual decks with ultra-precise waveforms, hot cues, pitch fader, sync, and key detection for seamless transitions.
- Built-in creativity: Native Instruments effects, Mixer FX, loops, loop rolls, Flux mode, and simplified stem separation.
- Instant access to music: built-in Beatport cueing and a 2-month Beatport Streaming Advanced subscription included.
A concentrated dose of Traktor heritage, without the complexity
Traktor Play condenses the experience
Native Instruments in a clean and intuitive interface. Inherited from
Traktor Pro 4, this version brings the audio and synchronization engines favored by professionals within reach of beginners and casual users alike, for reliable mixing and high-quality sound everywhere.
Who is it for, and what is it for?
Ideal for those who want to
get into DJing with just a laptop. Create clean mixes for a party with friends, a rehearsal, an opening set, or background listening with
AutoMix. And if you want, connect a compatible controller later to take things further.
Key Time-Saving Features
Playback across
two decks relies on clear waveform visualization, pitch information, and a precise
sync engine to lock your tracks in perfectly. The
pitch correction preserves pitch during tempo changes, while a professional
global limiter ensures a clean, distortion-free signal, even in real-world situations.
Inspiring Creative Tools
Activate
effects (reverb, delay, gater) to shape the soundscape, use the
Mixer FX to quickly sculpt bass and treble, and play with
loops (11 lengths) and
loop rolls to add dynamism to the structure. Simplified stem separation lets you remove all drum kits from a track with a single click. Trigger 8 hotcues and 8 hotloops to instantly jump to key moments, and keep the energy flowing with Flux mode. The pattern player includes an 808 kit to inject legendary grooves into your sets.
