Turntables of Tomorrow
TRAKTOR DJ Studio 3 has four fully-featured playback decks: Drop in additional loops and samples, or mix four tracks at once. The integrated 4-channel club mixer is highly flexible, allowing effects to be inserted on each channel individually. External turntables, CD-players and hardware effects can be patched seamlessly into the setup - the possibilities are endless.
New mixer and advanced effects
The prestigious Xone:92™ club mixer has been perfectly emulated with the support of Allen & Heath. Its excellent 4-band EQ gives incredible depth to your mix. The cross-fader assignable filters offer unique and innovative frequency-based mixing possibilities, bringing a completely new feel to your sets. Five professional tempo-synched effects and four high-end EQ's all give your sound a distinctive flavor.
Perfect Setup
The user interface works on a completely flexible and dynamic principle. Toggle individual control groups on and off, arrange secondary functions and displays for an optimum use of space. The new Messages Window automatically displays short explanations for the active function. Whatever the situation, TRAKTOR DJ Studio 3 always lets you know exactly what is happening, so you can concentrate on the mix.
The TRAKTOR family's graphic waveform displays allow you to preview the music way ahead of time. The displays show cue points and loops, and their interactive surface offers realistic scratching and precise setting of the playback position.
Four decks offer new creative freedoms: Mix up to four tracks simultaneously or drop in extra loops - and everything remains tempo synchronized. Fattening tracks up with additional drum loops, sound effects or atmospheres as well as the complete de- and reconstruction of tracks is now easier than ever.
With its new possibilities, TRAKTOR DJ Studio 3 permanently blurs the line between DJing, remixing and live composition.
Cause And Effect
Included in TRAKTOR DJ Studio 3 are five innovative, tempo-synched DJ-effects created by leading sound designers: Delay, Reverb, Flanger, Beatmasher and LFO-assignable filters.
The effects can be inserted into each channel individually, used as a master effect or even in combination with external mixers to process signals from the soundcard inputs!
The unique new Beatmasher tool allows soft as well as radical manipulations of loops within your tracks – delivering as much mayhem as you need.

Professional 4-channel DJ Mixer emulation
The heart of TRAKTOR DJ Studio 3 is an excellent emulation of the ground-breaking Allen&Heath Xone:92™ 4-channel club mixer. In direct cooperation with Allen&Heath nearly all the features and the sonic properties of this mixer have been implemented in the software.
The TRAKTOR mixer offers a customizable crossfader curve, excellent EQs and cross-fader assignable filters, pre- and post-EQ monitoring, LFOs and so much more.
Additionally, the Xone:92™ equalizer can be swapped with two other equalizers offering features and sonic characteristics.
Alternatively, all four channels can be used to process external signals from the soundcard.
Interactive Waveform Displays
Pioneering mouse modes turn TRAKTOR DJ Studio 3's waveform displays into advanced control surfaces, offering DJs unparalleled interaction with the track. The pointer snaps to beats and cue-points, while the zoom level can be simultaneously adjusted with the scroll wheel.
Jump from one part of the track to another directly from within the waveform or use the Search Loop feature to easily find the desired part of a track - and all without slipping out of time.
Right-clicking directly in the waveform allows you to start or stop the track.
Database
TRAKTOR's extensive database functions make it easy to manage your music. Use the Quick Search features to instantly find the track you are looking for or just browse through your entire library. 'Bookmarks' enable fast access to 12 of your favourite folders. Pre-listen tracks directly in the database or your playlist and then load them into a deck with a simple click. Or access the Beatport website from within the TRAKTOR browser and download new tracks.
Dynamic Control Surfaces
TRAKTOR DJ Studio 3's dynamic interface automatically adapts to every situation. The TRAKTOR interface is fully modular and resizable, so it can be customized to suit various needs and applications. Maximize the browser to find a track, minimize it when mixing in the next. Hide effects or the entire mixer when using an external controller. Shortcuts can be assigned to switch between customized views and setups on-the-fly.
Recording
Record a set, edit it and re-mix sections at a later date and then export it to an audio file – all with the patented, non-destructive TRAKTOR Native Mix technology. The History function automatically notes which tracks you played when in your set.
Additionally, you can record signals on the fly from the audio inputs, load them into a deck and mix them back into your set.
FinalScratch 2 compatibility
TRAKTOR DJ Studio 3 is fully compatible with the Stanton FinalScratch 2 system, fusing the intimacy of vinyl control with the advantages of digital audio. This ground-breaking combination allows your digital audio tracks to be controlled using special time-coded vinyl records or CDs. Or drop a dub-plate into the mix – the choice is yours.
MIDI control
The convenient MIDI implementation supports multiple MIDI interfaces and controllers and makes it totally easy to assign the various knobs, buttons and faders. MIDI configurations for a particular controller can be stored and exchanged with other users. Or use keyboard shortcuts to control certain functions.
