Traktor Pro for Mac is a popular and highly regarded DJ mixing app for macOS. It is available from many sources. After the 30-day trial, you must pay $229 USD to purchase a license. Traktor Pro for Mac installs easily and consistently sets high standards in the DJ software market.

While the price may seem high for a DJ mixing app, Traktor Pro has long been a standard for serious professionals and amateurs alike. Traktor Pro for Mac offers a two-deck interface that lets you cue up audio from two different sources and manipulate a virtual mixer to keep a constant stream of music playing. Additionally, it supports external USB or MIDI mixer consoles, providing flexibility for more advanced users.

One notable update in the latest version is the integration of Pattern Recorder, which allows DJs to create and customize drum loops directly within the app. This feature benefits live performances, where dynamic, on-the-fly beat creation can significantly enhance the experience. Another enhancement is the Elastique Pro V3 time-stretching algorithm, which improves pitch-shifting and syncing precision, ensuring smoother track transitions.

Traktor Pro for Mac still offers many advanced features, including syncing capabilities, multiple sound effects, robust looping, and a wide range of filters and EQs. Yet it maintains its accessibility, allowing even beginners to start mixing in just a few minutes. The app is compatible with music library files, CDs, and external devices, making it a versatile choice for DJs at any level.

For those considering alternatives, Serato DJ Pro is another leading option. Like Traktor Pro, it offers an intuitive interface and extensive compatibility with external hardware. However, Serato excels in its user-friendly approach, particularly for beginners. It features an in-depth tutorial system and an Auto Mix function, which automatically creates seamless transitions—something Traktor Pro lacks. On the other hand, Traktor Pro's customization options and advanced time-stretching features make it a better fit for professional DJs who demand precision.

Bottom Line

Having used Traktor Pro for several years, I can say that its consistent updates and enhancements make it a worthwhile investment for DJs. This latest release reaffirms its position as the software DJ mixer against which all others are judged.

Outstanding DJ Tool

Pros
Easy to use, don´t have to be a professional dj to play seemless mixes. Easy to create keyboard short cuts.
Cons
Expensive? Although Virtual DJ is more expensive and has a cheaper look, if you ask me.
Summary
Oh yes, this is for professional dj´s and party dj´s. Consider the cheaper Limited Edition if you don´t need 4 decks and a few other things.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. Finally I got my hands on the UB version. 3.2 also offers a number of feature changes and improvements. Traktor is much better than anything else I've played with so far. It's well worth the bucks.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. I tried the demo and I'll have to stick to lugging round my vinyl as this software simply isn't ready yet, and I certainly wouldn't trust it live. Sort it out NI.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com. The complains of other users here are probably valid, but I for one have been having a really great time with the demo of Traktor DJ Studio. It runs for an hour before quitting, plenty of time to learn how it works. And its feature set is very good. It does automatic tempo matching and beat detection; you can create multiple beat-precise loops within tracks -- on-the-fly even; you can set markers to indicate where within this track the next one should automatically start playing.... Anyone who thinks they want to be a DJ should give this a try. There's no extra hardware to buy! All you need is your Mac and a library of MP3s. (Keeping my fingers crossed for AAC support soon....) This program is so much fun.
