In short, the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S3 is everything DJs at Sweetwater look for in a controller, and we think you'll love it too.




Traktor Pro 3: top-of-the-pack 4-deck DJ software
If you've never performed with Traktor before, you're in for a treat. After nearly 20 years of evolution, Traktor Pro 3 is one of the most comprehensive and powerful DJ platforms on the market, and your Traktor Kontrol S3 will show you why. Traktor Pro 3 features all of the staples, from 4-deck mixing and easy beat matching/syncing to advanced looping, hotcues, and beatjumps. Want effects? This software comes loaded with a full suite of 40 amazing ways to spice up your tracks. If you like getting super creative, then you'll love playing with Stems and diving into Remix Decks. And that's just the surface of what Traktor Pro 3 has to offer.






Traktor DJ 2: serious cross-platform performance
As powerful as Traktor Pro 3 may be, sometimes traveling light is more important than all of the bells and whistles. That's where Traktor DJ 2 comes in. But don't get us wrong — this streamlined platform is far from stripped down. You still get all the essentials, including Traktor's unrivaled sync, full EQ controls, and excellent effects. Cooler still, you get the on-the-fly remix power of Freeze Mode, so you can totally tear it up live. Traktor DJ 2 also connects to Spotify, which means you have a near-infinity music crate to draw from. And since the app is cross-platform from your desktop to your iOS device, you can easily set up a grab-and-go DJ rig across all of your gadgets.




Control and audio in an all-in-one package
We've already explored how wonderfully straightforward the Traktor Kontrol S3's layout is. From simple and accessibly mode buttons for the pads and platters, to a totally uncluttered mixer section, this controller puts everything you need to DJ at your fingertips. But the power of the Traktor Kontrol S3 goes well below the surface... literally. Inside, there's a wonderful audio interface (sound card) that's perfect for both club and studio gear. You get both RCA and balanced XLR outs, and booth outs on 1/4" connectors. On the front, there's a combo jack for your microphone and both 1/8" and 1/4" headphone jacks. And all of the audio is brought to you in impressive 24-bit digital audio quality courtesy of truly impressive digital converters.
