Dub FX and DJ Unkut Get Crazy w/ Traktor Pro 2 (SICKNESS)


I just downloaded Traktor Scratch 2 last night and although I've only spent minimal time with it, I'm really loving the new features.  The best addition was probably the sample decks that you can load with any sample that you create or find.  The best part is that you can either trigger the sample like a drum machine or you can create a loop and have it play in time automatically with the master tempo of the track playing which basically means you can remix anything on the fly.  It's pretty f'n awesome.

As Dub FX displays above, you can also use inputs to create sample loops by using a microphone or other input source.  It works best if you have the new Traktor Kontrol S4 but you can definitely do some crazy shit with other set ups as well.  The fact that Dub FX was able to create a complete song on the fly just by using the mic, his Traktor Kontrol S4 and Traktor Pro 2 is pretty incredible.  The song itself was sick!

Traktor has also updated their Native Scratch Technology for even more precise scratching with their vinyl control records.  I don't use the vinyl as much anymore now that I have a USB controller that can handle most basic scratching duties but even when I used the vinyl, I never noticed much of a lag anyway.  It wasn't almost exactly like using real vinyl but the fact that Native Instruments was willing to update that technology and take it to the next level tells you something about their dedication to getting their products perfect.  DJ Unkut takes the technology to the limits in the clip above and does not disappoint.  NASTY!!!
