With two track decks and additional Sample Decks, it's super easy-to-use right out of the box.

It's never been easier to spin digital files. Hook up the system in seconds thanks to the plug & play hardware and software integration. The software interface now features an easy on the eye Essential View, focusing on the important elements. Innovative TruWave colored waveforms let you see your tracks like never before.

If you're coming from a purely vinyl set-up, the first thing you'll notice about TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO 2 is the super-precise 2kHz control signal and 120g timecode vinyl – it feels like each MP3 is cut into the wax.

Store your favorite loops in the library, along with the included loop content, and open up another dimension in creative DJing – easily remix and re-edit tracks on the fly.
Use the exclusive scratch sounds to spice up your routine and rock the six studio-quality effects which, thanks to the additional ins and outs on the audio interface, you can route like an external effects box.
