Type Decks

TRAKTOR provides you with four virtual Decks. These Decks can be operated in different Deck Types which are Track Deck, STEM Deck, Remix Deck, and Live Input:

The Decks contain common Deck elements as well as Deck elements specific to their Deck Type. For more information on common Deck elements.

Track Deck: The Track Deck in TRAKTOR represents the equivalent of a turntable or a CD player used to play back conventional tracks in a classic mixing setup. For more information, refer to Track Deck.

STEM Deck: The STEM Deck is capable of playing back and remixing STEM Files (.stem.mp4). The functionality is basically identical to the Track Deck, but features additional sub-mix controls for the four Slot Volumes, Filters, and FX Sends for the STEM Parts. For more information, refer to STEM Deck. It is mandatory that STEM Files have to be analyzed before loading them into a STEM Deck. It is not possible to load and play a STEM File before it has been analyzed.

Remix Deck: The Remix Deck provides you with four Sample Slots, for adding Samples and loops to your mix. You can load, create and save complex Remix Sets, and arrange Samples live in your mix. The Remix Deck comes with a variety of Sample-related features. For more information, refer to Remix Deck.

Live Input: The Live Input is not a Deck, but it allows you to include live audio from an external source in your mix. This can be from any audio input, i.e. a turntable, a microphone, or a synthesizer.
