Het was te verwachten, na de samenwerking met Stanton lag het natuurlijk in de lijn der verwachting dat ook Native Instruments met een eigen vinyl/software systeem zou gaan komen en vandaan was daar dan eindelijk het breaking news, Native Instruments komt met Traktor Scratch.


Traktor Scratch is the professional DJ system allowing you to spin your digital track collection on vinyl or CD turntables. It comprises of intuitive software, special 'timecoded' vinyl control records and CDs, two professional multi-core connection cables, and AUDIO 8 DJ - a high-end audio interface built specifically for DJs.

Rock-solid and reliable, and featuring 'Instant Connect' plug and play usability, every element is master crafted by the Native Instruments team in Berlin, Germany. The result is TRAKTOR SCRATCH - the perfect fusion of analog confidence and feel with the freedom and potential of digital. Never before has technology had so much soul.

Superior Sounds   
AUDIO 8 DJ is the ultimate audio interface for DJs, and the pulsing heart of Traktor Scratch. This pro quality 24bit/96 kHz interface with ultra high-end Cirrus Logic™ AD-DA converters is unique in the field- a dedicated DJ soundcard that surpasses every audio expectation.

4 hi-gain stereo outputs mean you have the potential for 2 main decks routed from the TRAKTOR software, plus two extra stereo outputs fed by Traktor Scratch’s send effects. Along with 4 stereo inputs, MIDI I/O and multiple status LEDs, the AUDIO 8 DJ is built on a metal chassis and is wrapped in a robust and compact design. This box of audio dynamite is ready for any situation.
