Hey I'm Scott Magno DJ MadFlip. I'm here with uniquesquared.com. Today we're going to talk
about Traktor Scratch Pro 2. This is going to come with the new Traktor Pro 2 software
which is banging. And not only are you going to have brand new high res, colored, truwave,
waveforms. We're also going to have the ability to layer and sample with awesome sophistication.
And we're also going to have some cool new effects, a bunch of other stuff, let's check
it out now. If you were familiar with Traktor Scratch pro before, first off you will see
the colored, truwave, high res waveforms here. That is really nice to be able to go in and
personalize your color mode. If you look at that, I've got it on spectrum, I can go ultraviolet
or infrared, or in-frare-d, depending on where you're from. The X-Ray. But I'm going to go
with the spectrum, I like a lot of different color in my life. So that is nice also with
the waveforms. You know I've got some cue points set up here, I'm going to run just
a little bit of audio. But I've got a couple of cue points set up here. Now I can zoom
in on that cue point there, cue point 2. I can zoom in much further than on the previous
Traktor scratch. So if I really want to get the front end of that attack on that I can
go super Dr. Science, and I'll lift that cue point out, and I'll make you a little bit
closer right there. Just so I can be a lot more accurate. Boom. So there it is, it's
moving really fast there. So if I zoom out you can see now, so you get the idea. I can
be right on the edge of the attack on there. Ok let's go to the different layouts now.
I've got it set up in the essential layout here. It's going to be two decks here, and
then I'll also, with the use of the controller, I can control decks C and D for my samples
as well. I've got my, this is my Do Work mix right here, I like to see all my EQs, everything,
my effects, and then the browser. So I can just quick browse, go through all of my tracks
there and then the last one is going to be, this is my favorite, Mad Flip prime. This
is just when I'm going to use primarily the turntables and effects. This is what I am
at home with. But actually the point is you can just customize all of this, make it your
own, and it's really nice to be able to have a customized workspace. So that is really
nice as well. Ok so what else do we got here? If you look we actually have, those of you
guys that are used to using Serato, we actually have the rotating turntable here. This also
serves as your check for your calibration. And if you need more room on that you can
just hide that right there. That's kind of a nice feature as well. Let's talk about some
of the cool effects now. Native Instruments has always had some incredible effects. Some
of the best out there. I'm just going to run through some of my favorites. Ok so what I
am going to do is I'm going to go ahead and set a loop on that one right there and show
you this effect. This is the beat masher.That's one of the new effects. This one Mulholland
Drive is kind of a nice filtery thing. You've got the auto bouncer, and ramp delay. Jazzy
as well. Tape delay. I've got this set up so I can actually apply three effects at once.
You can get some nice tricky things. I've always loved, some of our favorites, the flanger
flux just to give you a little more flavor. Real nice. So we've got some all new effects,
really good waveforms there. The ability yet again to do four decks on Traktor. Those of
you that are familiar with the S4, you've had a lot of these capabilities. But now Traktor
Scratch Pro 2 allows you to have that on turntables or CDJ, another timecode set up and a lot
of really cool improvements on that. Alright there it is Traktor Scratch Pro 2, it is amazing.
This is certainly my weapon of choice. If you have any other questions please leave
them in the comments, Ill ne happy to answer them personally. Thanks for following us on
