Native Instruments Traktor DJ Studio 3.1 Improves Mac OS X Performance, Intel Compatibility Still To Come

Software developer Native Instruments has released an update to its popular Traktor DJ Studio playback and mixing package for DJ's. The version 3.1 update improves several key aspects of the software and adds a large number of minor enhancements and optimizations.

TRAKTOR DJ Studio 3.1 makes preparing and executing a digital DJ performance more convenient by offering a comprehensive Undo functionality for playlists as well as the possibility to "lock" them to prevent accidental changes to a meticulously planned set. The user interface has also been further improved and refined, offering increased overview and more customizability.

Furthermore, the update brings performance improvements of up to 30% under Mac OS X. Mac Traktor users can now run multiple simultaneous decks with high-quality time-stretching and effects, even on less powerful Macintosh computers.

The new version also makes browsing and purchasing new club music releases easier by offering to context-search the integrated Beatport store with a single mouse-click from any entry within the TRAKTOR library.

The 3.1 update for Windows and Mac is now available as a free download for all registered users of Traktor DJ Studio 3 on the Native Instruments website.

Traktor DJ Studio 3 continues to be available for the special NI-VERSARY pricing of $119 U.S. / 99 Euro until September 10th, 2006.

Mac Intel compatibility for Traktor DJ Studio will be introduced with a separate update, which is scheduled for release in the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2006.
