Cutting-Edge Features

Stem Separation Powered by AI and RX

One of the standout features of Traktor Pro 4 is its stem separation capability, powered by artificial intelligence and iZotope’s RX technology. This feature allows DJs to isolate and manipulate individual elements of a track—such as drums, bass, instruments, and vocals—with incredible precision. The ability to view and control each stem waveform independently enables high-accuracy application of filters and effects, ensuring every mix sounds just right.
