Strange version of Traktor on Lenovo page - Help!

at first : Sorry for my english, it’s terrible. But it’s not my native language.

When i was downloading drivers to my Thinkpad t42 i saw a commercial on lenevo site:

and now, what kind of traktor is this? is this the new Traktor 2.5? or maybe this is some kind of old version of Traktor? And these waveforms and buttons under the linefaders - what is that?

Or maybe it’s just a work of people which made this photo? i don’t know.

One more time - sorry for my english.

What do you think?

Thanks!

That looks like a pre-Traktor Pro version of Traktor.

you mean, a beta-version of traktor pro? or something?

No, before Traktor Pro was released in 2008 there was Traktor 3.
Originally it was called Traktor DJ Studio until it was renamed to just Traktor (3 by then) in 2006.

Its just Traktor 1.2.7 with 4 deck (2 mini decks) and the colouring is all washed out.
Look at the knobs on the mixer, they look purple. The colour balance on the photo is all over the place making the waveforms looks blue… even the guys hand is purple.

Everything mighty Karlos said plus here is a screenshot of how its supposed to look.

Okay, okay. But these buttons under the linefaders (and these waveforms) i was using all of the old versions of traktor, and i didn’t noticed these things…so?

Thanks for help!

And these knobs looks like from traktor pro released in 2008. in previous versions of traktor they were blue-grey. in traktor pro since 2008 they are orange-grey.

I saw that ad in a magazine last year.

It’s an imaginary photoshopped DJ software with features based on various programs, I think they called it ‘fire & ice’. It’s mostly based on Traktor with the knobs moved around a bit, but it doesn’t even make any sense. If you look the left hand waveform is backwards, and it has a pair of mixvibes style waves underneath. They just had to invent something to avoid advertising someone else in their own ad.

i mean, what are these waveforms (marked in blue circels) and these buttons (marked in red circle)? i’m sure that it wasn’t in any version of traktor.

fullenglishpint - i didn’t noticed your post. Big thanks for help! i think that it could be photoshoped or something, but i realy wasn’t sure.

Thank you!!!

haha no problem. I was confused when I saw it but in the magazine it was higher res so you could see the name and I just googled it. Definitely not real.

Looks to me like it has a Traktor Pro style effects section for sure - doesnt look like Traktor 3 at all to me. Traktor 3’s effects looked nothing like that.

No idea whats going on below the decks there, doesnt look like anything ive seen, then again the resolution is friggen tiny so its really hard to see anything.

Its not Traktor DJ Studio 3.
Its Traktor Pro 1 with some stupid photoshop FX or colour saturation. You can tell its T1 by the 3 knobs in the centre and the Snap & Quant buttons left of centre.

Whatever it is, its old and its certainly not T2.5 or in fact anything that you should get interested in really.
