Native Instruments TRAKTOR PRO 4 (Digital product)

TRAKTOR PRO 4 — Professional 4-Deck DJ Software with Stem Separation

TRAKTOR PRO 4 is Native Instruments' flagship DJ platform, designed for club, studio, and livestream use. The software delivers four full-featured decks, real-time stem separation powered by iZotope RX, and a redesigned interface that keeps the workflow familiar while adding long-requested creative tools. This model is built for DJs who want deep control over every transition, breakdown, and remix moment.

What Sets TRAKTOR PRO 4 Apart

The headline addition is real-time stem separation using iZotope's RX technology, which isolates drums, bass, instruments, and vocals from any locally stored track. Pattern Player ships with curated signature kits from leading techno and house producers, while Ozone Maximizer brings iZotope's mastering-grade loudness control directly into the DJ booth. These features were previously locked behind the discontinued Traktor Pro Plus subscription and are now included in the full version.

Decks and Playback Engine

Four decks give DJs room to layer, remix, and transition without compromise. Each deck supports stem-aware volume, filter, and FX control, so individual elements can be muted, processed, or blended independently during a mix.

• Decks: 4 full-featured decks — provides ample headroom for layered remixes and complex transitions.
• Isolate and manipulate individual elements live with iZotope RX-powered, 4-track (drums, bass, other, vocals) stem separation.
• Hot Cues / Hot Loops: 8 per deck — fast access to markers and saved loops for on-the-fly edits

Effects, Beatgrids, and Sync

A flexible beatgrid system tracks tempo changes throughout a track, which is essential for disco, jazz, hip hop, and live-recorded material. Sync, looping, beatjumps, and beat alignment stay accurate even when BPM fluctuates, with no audio-quality penalty when engaging sync.

• Available Effects: 43 studio-grade effects — including reverb, delays, and stretching algorithms
• Effect Units: 4 assignable processors — apply FX to full decks or individual stems
• Flexible Beatgrids: Included — follow tempo changes across the entire track
• External Sync: MIDI Clock and Ableton Link — connect to external hardware and software

Streaming, DVS, and Hardware Compatibility

Two months of free Beatport Streaming Advanced or Beatsource Streaming come bundled with new purchases. DVS timecode support lets DJs mix digital files with traditional turntables, while plug-and-play mappings cover Traktor S2, S4, X1, Z1, plus AlphaTheta and Reloop controllers.

• Streaming: Beatport and Beatsource built-in — browse and mix millions of tracks directly
• DVS Support: Traktor Timecode Control Vinyl — keep the feel of vinyl with digital libraries
• Pattern Player Kits: 17 curated kits — signature drum sounds from Nicole Moudaber, Len Faki, Luke Slater, Chris Liebing, Rebekah, Dubfire, and more
• License: Full Version (perpetual) — one-time purchase with no subscription required

Who Is It For

TRAKTOR PRO 4 is the right choice for working DJs, bedroom producers, and livestream performers who need a flexible 4-deck setup with stem-level creative control. Club DJs benefit from reliable DVS integration and tight sync, while hybrid performers can wire in MIDI controllers, Maschine, or Ableton Link for expanded setups. Beginners moving up from entry-level software will find the redesigned interface approachable, and existing TRAKTOR Pro 3 users can import their full collection during installation.

Native Instruments and the TRAKTOR Legacy

The company has shaped DJ software for over two decades, with TRAKTOR becoming the go-to platform for hundreds of thousands of DJs worldwide. Software updates continue that lineage by folding the Pro Plus subscription features into the main release, signaling a return to a one-time perpetual license model. It remains compatible with all current TRAKTOR hardware controllers, protecting the investment of long-time users.
