Attention DJs! Traktor DJ Studio 2.6 released.
Native Instruments has released Traktor DJ Studio 2.6, the next version
of its DJ software. This update has the power to fuse two of the digital
DJ platforms into one complete solution - by making Traktor DJ Studio
fully compatible with the latest version of Stanton's vinyl-controlled
DJ system, FinalScratch 2. Furthermore, Traktor DJ Studio 2.6 offers
several new features like live broadcasting via Internet, live audio
input with on-the-fly audio recording, extended file format support and
a lot of other enhancements.
The new features in Traktor DJ Studio 2.6 include:
* Compatible with FinalScratch 2 - Traktor DJ Studio 2.6 now works
together with Stanton's FinalScratch 2 hardware. This makes the software
fully controllable via turntables and DJ CD players, opening up a whole
new world of creative mixing techniques.
* Internet Broadcasting - With Traktor DJ Studio 2.6, the performance
can be streamed live over the Internet, thanks to integrated support for
the Icecast streaming server protocol.
* Live Input / Live recording - An external audio signal can be
integrated live into the mix via a third dedicated mixer channel
offering an adjustable ducking function, which allows for announcements,
voice-overs, MCing and much more. The input signal can even be recorded
on-the-fly, and the recordings can be dragged directly into the mix for
instant playback.
* Mix Recording - The mix can now be directly recorded into an audio
file on hard disc during the performance, as an alternative to the
existing non-destructive mix recording method.
* Added support for AAC, WMA, Ogg Vorbis and FLAC files - Traktor DJ
Studio now also plays tracks in AAC format (Apple iTunes, non-DRM files
only), WMA format (Windows Media Player), as well as in Ogg Vorbis and
FLAC
* Browser Favorites - The file browser now offers a special
"favorites" section where up to 12 selected folders or playlists can be
stored, which can then instantly be accessed via keyboard shortcuts.
* Playlist History - A new "history" function gives a detailed overview
about all recently played tracks. The list can also be printed out or
exported - especially useful for professional DJs who have to take care
of license payments to copyright associations.
Further improvements include support for multiple MIDI controllers,
visual time grids in the waveform displays, a powerful library search
function, a revised user interface with several skins to choose from,
and a large number of new MIDI and keyboard assignable controls.
The update to version 2.6 is available now as a free download for all
registered users of Traktor DJ Studio 2.5.
The full version of Traktor DJ Studio 2.6 will be available in mid March
for a suggested retail price of $229/ 199 Euro from authorized dealers
and in the NI Online Shop. A demo version of Traktor DJ Studio 2.6 is
also available now as a free download on the NI website.
