So you own Traktor? I'm thinking of going for Tracktor scratch. I have  
used Rane Serato scratch and found it to be excellent, trying to  
decide between that and Tracktor. Was surprised/excited to see NI  
entered this arena.

Any DJ advice on this?

Also was a bit confused with the two NI versions, it looks like  
Scratch pro gives you more audio interface/multiple deck options vs.  
the cheaper Scratch duo?
