Native Instruments has announced Traktor Pro and Traktor Scratch Pro, the next versions of its digital DJ solutions with MIDI and time-code control. Traktor Pro touts four full-featured decks, extensive sound shaping and MIDI control options.

The new Traktor Scratch Pro combines the full-featured Traktor Pro software with the Audio 8 DJ interface and a set of high-resolution time-code records and CDs for responsive hands-on control through turntables and CD decks. Traktor Pro introduces a new graphical user interface that includes a completely scalable screen layout and cover artwork support including the Crate Flick” feature that allows DJs to visually browse their music library.

There are also advanced syncing functions in Traktor Pro. Precise beat grids are now created automatically for all tracks, and the “Sync Lock” function is designed to ensure that even multiple decks and tempo-synced effects never drift out of sync. New “quantized navigation” also allows DJs to jump between loops, cue points or any other part of a track without missing a beat.

Traktor Pro also sports a performance effects section. Two separate multi-effect units offer more than 20 studio-quality algorithms, from a full range of standard DJ effects to a selection of unusual effect types like Mulholland Drive, Iceverb and Reverse Grain. Up to six effects can be chained and freely assigned to any number of decks at any time.

Traktor Pro offers MIDI controller integration, and comes with mappings for all relevant DJ controllers on the market, according to the folks at Native Instruments. New “MIDI modifier” functionality provides even finer performance control, allowing for dynamic and multi-layered knob and fader assignments, on-the-fly adjustments of parameter resolution and more, they add. What’s more, new extended MIDI sync features let users integrate outboard gear like drum machines and software sequencers into the mix.

With the new generation of Traktor, the integration with the leading dance music download store Beatport is also enhanced. Starting in 2009, all new releases on Beatport will come with Traktor metadata, enabling DJs to add newly purchased tracks to their collection without any additional preparation time.

Further imProvements in Traktor Pro and Traktor Scratch Pro include incremental track search, portable collection and setting files, dedicated key correction and filter sections for each deck, an included library of loops, FX sounds and Scratch files as well as full compatibility with the latest 64-bit Mac OS X and Windows operating systems.

Traktor Pro is expected to ship on November 1st; arriving at the same time will be Traktor Scratch Pro, a bundle of Traktor Pro with the Audio 8 DJ interface and a collection of time-code records and CDs. people who already own Traktor Scratch and Traktor 3 will get a free software upgrade.

Serato Audio Research is proud to announce the launch of the online promotional delivery network, Whitelabel.net.

Developed exclusively by Serato Audio Research, Whitelabel.net is a unique system that allows Record Labels to deliver promotional releases directly to DJs. The Whitelabel MP3 format is a high quality format that is tagged with artist and song information, BPMs, and Scratch Live overviews pre-built. These files will play the full high quality version when played in Serato Scratch Live, and a low quality preview in any other mp3 player.

“It’s exciting to launch a service that gives more power to DJs,” explains General Manager, Sam Gribben. “DJs know which records work and which don’t. Whitelabel.net provides a way for them to get this information directly to the record labels, and by doing so, exert their influence on the music industry.”

The launch sees the arrival of a brand new Whitelabel.net blog, which will give the latest updates on Scratch Live Artists, discuss new releases from Labels and give an insight into Serato. Another addition to the site is a brand new downloads page, equipped with a new preview player for easier auditioning of tracks.

“This is really a way for us to put the hit breaking potential back in the DJ’s hands,” says David George, Head of Operations at Whitelabel.net. “There are no catches to the service either - you sign up, you download. Feedback is optional, which makes for more honest and useful commentary. We hope that all of our users enjoy the simplicity of the website, and some of the fantastic music Whitelabel.net has to offer.”

VESTAX PMC-05 PRO III HIP-HOP MIXER

$50 REBATE ON THE VESTAX PMC-05PROIII DURING OCTOBER& NOVEMBER 2008!

http://www.djdeals.com/vestaxPMC05PROIII.htm

The VESTAX PMC-05ProIII is the newest version of Vestax’s famous PMC-05ProII,which has been discontinued as of May 2004. It’s hard to improve perfection but Vestax has found a way to take their number one selling industry standard performance mixer and take it to the next level.

Improved EQ system keeps the same gain level even when low is cut to maintain high quality sound. The CF monitor control and monitor level controls have been moved closer to the top in order to free up more battle space around the crossfader for dynamic scratches and specific moves. Effect send/receive system that can connect with external effect systems. It can also be used to receive as a third line input. Equipped with high performance input switches. Designed for easy use in battle situations. Master cue function lets you check if the L/R sound is sent out to the hall or practice without the sound being broadcast through the master section.

This mixer’s new features are:

1. Stereo effect send
2. New heavy duty PGM switches
3. Master/Cue monitor select switch

The other differences you will notice between the VESTAX PMC-05ProIII and the PMC-05ProII are:

1. New rotary pot knob design.
2. Larger EQ sweep on the bass
3. New silver face plate with increased battle zone

FEATURES:

Stereo Effect Send
The PMC-05ProIII is equipped with a stereo effect send that has gain controls on the Sends (SEND) and Returns (RCV). Each PGM has a dedicated on/off switch for the effect send. Because of Vestax’s attention to detail this one simple feature can be used to achieve 5 different functions. They are:
1. Adding an effect processor to either or both of the PGMs.
2. The SEND can be used as a booth/monitor output.
3. the RCV can be an additional line input that leaves PGM 1 and 2 free.
4. Session input for Battle performances
5. Individual PGM sends for tracking and recording.

New Heavy Duty PGM Switches
The VESTAX PMC-05Pro III now comes stock with the heavy duty performance switches that used to be an expensive optional upgrade on the PMC-05ProII. These switches are much stronger and more durable for DJs who like to transform using the input switches. Part number IS05PRO2 is still available for DJs who would like to install these switches on their PMC-05ProII or PMC-07Pro models.

Master/Cue Monitor Select Switch
The VESTAX PMC-05Pro III also has an improved Cue section. You now can monitor either the master output or a desired PGM. This is a great feature for the meticulous DJ who is concerned about his levels when making mixed tapes or CDs. This will allow them to hear exactly what is being sent out the master to be recording device.

Larger EQ Sweep On The Bass
Another improvement made on the VESTAX PMC-05Pro III is a larger EQ sweep on the bass frequencies. The low frequencies can now be cut by –24dB and a boost of +12dB. The PMC-05ProII only offered a –12dB cut with a +12dB boost.

New Rotary Pot Knob Design
Vestax has introduced a new knob design that will be on all new mixers. It is a sleeker knob that is easier to grip and has a much better look

New Silver Face Plate
The new VESTAX PMC-05Pro III now has a silver faceplate instead of the gold faceplate that was on the PMC-05ProII. The silver faceplate, like the gold, is completely smooth with no screws anywhere near any of the faders that could cut up a “Performance” DJs hands. The cue cross fader has also been moved 2” higher to increase the battle zone area for the DJ.
