What’s happening with Traktor Pro these days, anyway? While a recent massive investment in Native Instruments is promising for the future, there are signs of life from the Traktor team with a brand new update (the first in a year). Traktor Pro 2.11.1 is out today – keep reading for a quick overview of what’s changed.

Traktor Pro 2.11.1

Color Coding

The big change here is a minor feature update that allows DJs to color-code their tracks. In the Traktor browser, there’s a whole new column for track color. This shows up when you’re browsing in any view (assuming you have the color column enabled). It’s a pretty minor feature, but to see any movement in improving the browsing experience is a welcome sign.
