will the traktor update be a paid one

I am hoping not as traktor 2 has not been out that long, and I dont think NI would charge for it in this way. I think it could possibly be that the new features will only work with the new hardware

i hope not, since i bought traktor 2 but am forced to still use traktor 1.2.7. !!!

Before The Speculation and rumour mill starts:

This is usually the start of "I have heard" and "a guy in a shop told me"
For the record: There is absolutely no information on any new software and whether it will be free or paid.

Anything you guys hear from this moment onwards is either pure speculation or b*llshit, probably both. Nothing has been communicated at all.
I can categorically tell you that anything you hear from anyone is not to be believed.

I doubt it

maby free if you buy the new controller..

i think it´ll be a paid one...

I say free to develop the need for the new controller and end up buying it :P
