From Pro to Scratch Pro

[Tomek]

The upgrade from scratch to scratch pro = €79 if i am not mistaking.
(i have the same issue going on ... i'm looking for a cheap traktor scratch package too hehe)

A few weeks ago I takled with NI service center and below is their reply:

You wrote:> This means I must pay €79 to upgrade SCratch to scratch Pro.> > Am I right?

Yes, you're right. The TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO SOFTWARE UPGRADE is €79.

I dont have scratch at the min just, LE and a scratch pro demo.

Ok Karlos, so you suggest that I buy the old TS, install it and the buy a "software only" upgrade from TP to TSP?

Why not just do as Devils suggesting, buying the Audio 8 and then the upgrade from TP to TSP?

Yeah im not suggesting you do it. I just presumed you had found a TS package for cheap.
I figured you were doing what Tomek is doing.

Its all about the maths. Upgrading from TP to TSP can be costly.

If you can find a used TS (old scratch) you can then upgrade to TSP with the Upgrade Download .

Whatever route is the cheapest is the best. You can always sell your original TP if you buy TSP as you will get a new registration number for TSP.


Its all confusing i know but ...

[oh just for clarification the 79euro upgrade from TS to TSP is because you are already own all the hardware and DVS . You are paying for Traktor Pro software]

seen as all hardware is available sepearately why do they not do this option for others then. If that was the reason then i would only have to pay 79euros.

[Karlos Santos]

I agree with you 100%. They should , but they dont.


If you add up the cost of all the hardware (inc muliticores) and the software the price is comparable to buying a Package.

This however does not help guys like you who (i think) is a student and could better afford it by building the package over a period of time. This is where it becomes obvious that NI is a profit making company like all others.

The big issue is that NI do not sell the DVS Plugin on its own.
Say you had already got Traktor Pro and you bought all the hardware parts the only thing missing is the DVS functionality. It would be great if NI just sold that. They dont.
Even if they did it wouldnt be cheap.

Which ever way you slice it, it comes to pretty much the same price however you buy it unless you can get a really good deal on the old Traktor Scratch package second hand.

All you really need is a receipt showing you purchased Traktor Scratch last fall, and you can still get the upgrade for free. Just don't be like me and lose the damn receipt.

[Karlos Santos]

Well if you had TS already theres no problem. Or do you mean a fake reciept.
Where you gonna get a reciept from ? If you didnt buy it within or before the 'Grace Period'.

Any shop giving out fake receipts would mess its own books up.

Also you need to have TS registered already for the TSP registration to work. The TSP registration is dependent on TS registration and activated.

So now I just need one more tip. I just bought a brand new TSP (the full package). I already have TP installed. What is the easiest way to do the upgrade? I dont want to have to import my collection and set cuepoints etc. again.

Thanks guys!

Open the Service Center, Overview, Show Details of Traktor installation and click Edit next to the serial number. Enter your TSP serial number. After restarting Traktor you should have Traktor Scratch Pro

That sounds very nice and easy! Thanks!
