#Traktor scratch native update

This means you don’t need to plug in the power supply anymore… it’ll run off your computer. The big news is the fact the Traktor Scratch A10 can now run on USB bus power. Phono pre-amplification has been adjusted to a flatter response and attenuated highs (12kHz) High Impedance mode is now available (activated via audio control panel) Microphone amplifier has been replaced by updated hardware Overall output (and input) volume has been increased to CDJ standard (+12dBu)ĭirect Thru Mode is now working without a volume decrease Now works without an external power supply (USB bus powered) So, what’s different? First, read the changelog from NI, then let’s go through the changes and how significant they are.
