User Manual

4. Decks: TRAKTOR 2 provides you with four virtual Decks. The Decks are the place
where tracks, samples, and live input are played back. The Decks can be seen as the
virtual equivalent to good old vinyl or CD decks.
5. Mixer: Sitting in the middle of your TRAKTOR 2 window is the Mixer. It receives on its
four channels the audio signals coming from the four Decks described above. There is
one channel for each Deck. As with any DJ mixer, the Mixer’s basic purpose is to ad
just the relative level of each channel, to control the channels’ frequency content, pos
sibly feeding them into the FX Units, before sending the overall result to your audi
ence.
6. Browser: The Browser manages all your tracks in a database called the Track Collec
tion. You can group tracks in Playlists, sort them according different attributes, and
search within Playlists as well as in the whole Collection.
In TRAKTOR (SCRATCH) DUO 2, the Master Clock and Loop Recorder are not available. In
TRAKTOR LE 2, the Audio Recorder is also not available.
