The audio from the program is then sent back out to the audio card where it processed and routed to the mixer. ![]() These play as normal on the relevant equipment and send an audio signal into the audio card, the card converts the signal into messages that controls the deck inside the Traktor program. Traktor supplies you with either time-coded vinyl or CD’s. These units are high quality audio cards that plug into your laptop/desktop via USB and allow you to route the turntables into the program and out again through an audio DJ mixer. In order to use your turntables with the Traktor software you need to use the Native Instruments Audio Interfaces. So you want to use your turntables/CDJ’s? If you later decide that you would like to introduce turntables/CDJ’s then you can upgrade the program to a scratch version.

You are however not limited to using only this option, as you can introduce midi controllers into the equation and expand your set up. This will enable you to use both Vinyl and/or CD’s to control your music files and manipulate them in the same way you have been used to for so long. If you currently DJ using turntables or CDJ’s and you want to keep that feel, then you will need to make sure you have a ‘Scratch’ version of Traktor.
