do i need traktor scratch?

my friend from france just gave me his technic 1200s but i don't have any vinyl and not ready to start a vinyl collection

i already have traktor 2

noob question but do i need to buy traktor scratch as well?


thanks

You need Traktor Scratch Pro and a soundcard that is scratch certified

If you don't want to buy vinyl then, yes, you need what manchild said. If you do buy some records, you can route the Technics into Decks C and D of Traktor and integrate the turntable inputs into your workflow and use Traktor's effects. But, you won't be able to use timecode vinyl to control digital tracks without Scratch.

The simplest way to add Technics to a Traktor setup is to buy a "Traktor Scratch A6" package.

thanks for the replies

i've also got a pioneer djm700

Yes. You will need an NI sound card (I would go for the A6 package; I believe it contains timecode vinyl, A10 is honestly overkill unless you really need it).

EDIT - Run soundcard via USB cable into laptop running Traktor. 2 sets of RCA's from the soundcard into desired channels (1-4) on the DJM 700. Should run like a charm. :)

thank you!
so helpful!

so, to wrap things up
i need to get
traktor scratch
sound card A6
that's it?

Traktor Scratch is included in the "Traktor Scratch A6" package.
