| I've read info on both, and the obvious differences are the 4 vs 2 deck option. In your opinion (for those that have used), what would be my justification for the the Pro vs Duo. I've never really spun with 4 decks, but if I had the option....hmm not sure. Any input from those of you who are Scratch professionals? Thanks. |

I'm just gonna get duo. I've done three deck mashups and they're certainly fun, but not worth the cash for me.
And I can still do 'em once I get a four channel mixer again :p |

| Pro has lots more effects if thats your thing and also allows the capability to record inside Traktor. It also comes with the Audio 8 DJ as opposed to the Audio 4 DJ. |

| i dont own traktor yet but have been considering for a while. My setup at home consists of 2 1210s and 2 cdjs so i liked the idea of not losing any flexibility. I really think that if you have 4 inputs and can afford it, why limit yourself? |

| Get duo you can always upgrade to pro if you aren't satisfied. |

And be stuck with the 4 in 4 out Audio 4 DJ.
I say, better go Pro straight away and never look back. Trying to save money all the time isn't really wise IMO, as that way you might end up paying more eventually because upgrading rarely comes cheaper. ;) |

Yeah I have 2 CDJ's and 2 1200's, and with Pro I can play:
1. Regular CD's
2. Regular vinyl
3. Timecode CD's
4. Timecode vinyl
Or I can use my 2 SCS.3D's to MIDI control all 4 decks. It's very flexible.
Duo looks great, but if you can pony up for Pro right now you'll probably be happier in the end.
It's not just that either, Duo has some things missing like customizable keyboard shortcuts. I use keyboard shortcuts for loading tracks onto decks and such, it's very effective.
I also don't know what will be missing from the new 1.2 Pro release that's coming next month (public beta is out now). |

| Thanks everyone for your input....yeah, the customizable hot keys is a plus with Pro. I'm not too worried about the 'internal' recording, as I dedicate a line out of my mixer, but that was because I had an older IBook and FS 2.0. Given my Macbook Pro is much more labor intensive, I'm sure it would be able to record via the program without a skip. I have an EFX-500, but the included effects with Pro has me excited. I first thought the Duo would be good because it was still an upgrade from my FS 2.0, but for a little more to upgrade to the Pro, I think it's worth it. Thanks to everyone again for your input! |

WTF are you talking about? Upgrade is 79€ "For users of TRAKTOR SCRATCH 1 and TRAKTOR SCRATCH DUO."

That's right. You can't upgrade to Traktor Pro from Scratch for 99€, instead you can upgrade to Traktor Scratch Pro for 79€. 20€ cheaper and you get Traktor Scratch Pro instead of Traktor Pro. The same programs, but Scratch Pro has the ability to use timecode, while normal Pro doesn't. ;) |
