The new version further expands TRAKTOR SCRATCH’s performance capabilities with optimised vinyl tracking, expanded loop functions, a revised effects section and even better iTunes integration.

Version 1.2 adds a new “Manual Loop” mode to TRAKTOR SCRATCH’s creative loop features, allowing DJs to set precise loops spontaneously even in tracks without a beat grid. The software’s effects section also adopts numerous detailed improvements from the current version of TRAKTOR 3. Thanks to optimised timecode tracking, TRAKTOR SCRATCH 1.2’s high-resolution vinyl control is even more robust, particularly under adverse conditions.

Further improvements in TRAKTOR SCRATCH 1.2 include the ability to access subfolders in the iTunes library directly, a revised timecode display and numerous other detailed improvements.

Thanks to its unique combination of versatility and reliability, more and more leading international DJs are using TRAKTOR SCRATCH, recently including John Acquaviva, Steve Bug, Victor Calderone, Matthew Dear, Dubfire, Nic Fanciulli, Cedric Gervais and Tommy Lee & DJ Aero.

The 1.2 update is available now as a free download for all registered TRAKTOR SCRATCH users.
